Posted February 21, 201114 yr To celebrate Buzzjack's 5th birthday :birthday: , we are offering prizes :o to three lucky winners of our YTD Predictions Competition :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize for the posters with the closest correct predictions. To stand a chance of winning, all you need to do is predict the order of the YTD Top 20 Singles and Top 20 Albums to be announced on 13 March. Prizes for this competition will be as follows: 1st Place: £50 iTunes voucher 2nd Place: £25 iTunes voucher 3rd place: £15 iTunes voucher You can use our release schedule to help with your predictions. The current Year To Date singles and albums - with estimated sales - will also help. The list will be expanded to a top 40 when we have the information. You will need to think about which singles and albums are going to have the biggest sales impact over the next three weeks. To enter our competition, PM your top 20 predictions to me. In the event of a tie, there is a tie-break question in two parts. You need to predict the sales of the number one single and album in the weekly chart announced on 13 March. This is the sales of that week’s number one single and album, not the YTD number one. The winner will be the player who gets closer or closest to the actual total. In order to enter you need to have made at least 250 posts by the time this was posted. The competition deadline is noon on Sunday 27 February so make sure your predictions and the answers to the tie-break have been PM'd to me by this date to stand a chance of winning. Finally, best of luck to everyone who participates. The boring bit The scoring will be based on the difference between your prediction and the actual position in the top 100 published on that date. If a player chooses a single or album not in the top 100, the score for that release will be calculated using a position of 101. Any questions, just ask.

February 21, 201114 yr I'm not sure if I want to enter this or not, how exactly would the prizes be delivered? The thinking is either buying the cards and sending the codes (we are investigating how that would work if outside the UK) or sending as a gift via a website. Rest assured we have discussed this at length.

So we're predicting the Year To Date top 20 for the week of March 13, but the scoring is based on the difference between my prediction and the position in the weekly top 100? So the PM should look like this; Singles 1 - song 2 - song 3 - song etc. 20 - song Albums 1 - album 2 - album 3 - album etc. 20 - album Tie-breaker weekly single number one sales weekly album number one sales Yeah, I'll enter soon, I don't have much chance of winning, but it'll be fun to enter :) I already have an idea of the YTD number one (single and album)
