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. :thumbup:

 

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.

Exciting :w00t: I'm not a judge in this, so I'm going to kick all of y'alls asses :kink:
Shame there is a 200 post minimum - I only joined last month :(

Well then there is hundreds of topics for you to reply to ^_^

At first I thought it said to predict the OVERALL YTD Charts! :drama: :lol:

 

I see the 'cash' prizes have been got rid off, what are the prizes?

Sounds good, I'm going to enter!!! :) Will be difficult though and I always come near the bottom of Ben's chart prediction, so I'll do awfully, but oh well, I'm giving it a go anyway! :D

As yet we're still discussing them, but as soon as we know for sure you'll know about it! ^_^ It's pretty safe to say that you will want to take part though.

I am going to do badly in this, I bet.

Still, everybody should get the #1 in both charts correct :lol:

Why does that matter?! :unsure:

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.

Ooh nice - iTunes vouchers! ^_^ Even though I have 0.000000000000001% chance of winning, I really want to win!!! :P

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)

 

:thumbup:

 

Looks good :)

Is it right that if I post 125 more times, I become eligible?

I've had confirmation that you must have posted 250 times before the competition was announced (21st Feb), so you, like me, are unable to enter. Just thought I'd let you know to save you the bother of making predictions :)
