The original theme included singles, i.e. bonus tracks that became singles, singles that were eventually bonus tracks, or non-hit remix versions of singles! The only element that was originally not included was 'remixes that are the hit single version', and personally I didn't understand that being a distinction when other kinds of singles were allowed. So letting that kind of single into it was actually to make it more of a level playing field than it was. The option was there to omit singles altogether. Essentially it was an "all or nothing" choice, and Inner Circle decided unanimously to go with "include all the different kinds of singles". So the theme essentially became... don't send a "normal" single or album track.

So the theme essentially became... don't send a "normal" single or album track. Interesting! I had caught wind of this theme through an accidental spoiler but it just said 'a remix', so I had it in mind as being remixes regardless of single status, but nothing about bonus tracks or b-sides. I was thinking, say, Melanie C's 'I Turn To You' and Kelly Rowland's 'Work' would be likely for it, but many/most artists would probably have to pick from their hits' remix EPs and see if they have any standouts or how well they can maintain the appeal of the original tracks. Personally I did feel this theme turned out a bit messy by lumping together the distinct concepts of remixes and bonus tracks, and counting re-release singles as bonus tracks (as opposed to just deluxe-only tracks/Japanese bonus tracks/etc which is what I'd normally think of by 'bonus tracks') - I think remixes alone would've been a more interesting, if more difficult, prospect. But that said, I feel like the whole game is a test of whose discography is well-rounded enough to pass through various challenges, as opposed to a straight-up 'send the hits' contest, and to me that's one of the most fun parts. It's a shame P!nk hit such a roadblock but she wasn't the first (see Calvin and Zara) and probably won't be the last. I think she did particularly well considering that she doesn't do many remixes (of relevance), features, promo singles etc and doesn't really have the fanbase on here to have well-known non-singles.

Maybe after the singles rate, we'll have a B-side rate Also, for the next round, collaborations, we would've probably sent Just give me a reason. The competition is so tough now, a lot of big artists with some big hits left to send. Good luck to all AFs left
