Yep, folks, the title of the Buzzjack post isn't fooling you. The Week of Winners has returned as version 3.0! New rules, new songs, same 50-song chart spirit, Violet Stallion style!

Rule 1: Any song that has made a previous WOW Year-end shall only chart if they're guaranteed to have a higher spot on the incumbent Year-end (Year of Champions list). For example, Good Luck Babe is allowed since it only made the Top 90 last year and is expected to be as high as #77 on the current Year-end.

Rule 2: Songs that have made my Bubbling Under (an exclusive on my Discord) are allowed to chart.

Rule 3. No single week ties. If songs will be grouped as a double feature (that's the max), they'll remain like that for the entirety of their chart run and if they make a year end list they'll be credited together (see Twilight Zone and Hampstead from WOW 2.0).

Rule 4: The songs shall follow my recurrency markers, which means they'll be kicked out in the current week if:

- Below #20 with 5wk standing

- Below #10 with 10wk standing or Top 5 peak

- Below #5 with 15wk standing or #1 peak

*Whether or not they'll be permanently or temporarily recurrent will depend entirely on me.

Rule 5: Songs with hints of religion and politics will have to be examined on a case to case basis. If I see a song has enough elements to remain pop music despite the religious/political undertones (like Una Velita by Bad Bunny and Mga Praning by FrancisM) I can consider it, otherwise I'm disqualifying it outright (like What an Awesome God by Phil Wickham [gosh that one hurt, I like it]). Christmas songs may chart but those that are strictly tied to the holidays (like Last Christmas) can only chart during the month of December, whereas others that feel like that aesthetic but aren't strictly tied to that season can freely chart anytime (like Christmas Break by Gracenote).

Rule 6: Feel free to comment and support your faves (maybe even leave brief thoughts on the songs you don't like), but make sure to have decency and tact while doing so.

That's all. See you on the new revitalized charts! My last Monthly Mix will be out tomorrow, then WOW 3.0 will officially release on November 3. <3

PS: any song that has gone permanently recurrent on any of my charts will not be able to chart anymore. I'll release a full list sometime after mid November.
