Notice for future rate hosts!

Following the trial of a new idea in the Conor Maynard rate, it's success means we'd like all future rate hosts to do the same. We are fully aware that it is much more difficult for non-fans or casual fans to take part in full discography rates without skewing the results for a select number of tracks, such as the singles - therefore they often don't take part at all and this lowers participation in rates for the less popular artists.

Therefore we now ask all rate hosts to provide a "basic" and "premium" version of their rate so to speak, so non hardcore fans can just rank the singles which they are probably only aware of and by making this happen in a separate section, the results won't be skewed negatively for the singles (as naturally non-fans will rank tracks lower than fans) as they would be if it was all combined in one rate. Then in a separate "premium" section of the rate, the hardcore fans who know every track can then rank every track.

Please see the Conor Maynard rate for an example of what we'd like to see in future! If the recently started rates for Alesha Dixon and Fifth Harmony want to make a "basic" version of their rate available too, that'd be great!
