Why Mel C gets the brunt tho

I have voted. It was a good quality batch of songs.

Having my last listen to figure out which songs I liked from my blind listening sessions before voting. Really strong selection! Obsessed with my current top 2.

I'll be voting soon. Gotta get it done before I get the inevitable tag.

Liked the fact there are a variety of languages this edition!

Oh I completely forgot about this oops, I'll get on it tomorrow x

Voted, great edition as always x

Eric Whitacre into the Spice Girls song was an iconic whiplash

Me too. Might flop hard though. 🥲

I know a couple artist names here.

In the meantime, I realized that I’m going to win from behind again. 😅

I’m curious how this ended up with such a steep scoring system compared to other contests. I like my Top 3 all about the same so 20-15-12 seems quite the cliff.

I must admit I don't recall a time when I last used this scoring system either, so I don't know why it's been brought into force here.

Voted. The number of songs I’m obsessed with has grown to 5 now, so many good new artists to check out.

It's been the scoring system in Unknown Pleasures since the 3rd edition so you'd have to go back to 2010 to get an answer to that. (I was going to say it's always been the system used in this but digging back in the archive the first 2 editions only had people voting for a top 10 with the 20 and 7 pointers omitted).

I think the system needs to be extended to Top 15 with 13, 11 and 9 being added so more entries can be rewarded + spread the scores more evenly!!!

Also thanks to 17 of you who submitted votes already <3, much appreciated, but I am going to have to extend the deadline till Sunday March 8th, 23:59.

I am off on Monday and Tuesday, so that would give me the perfect time to add the scores and present them <3.

Thank you for your understanding.

ty for this, I was dreading have to rush today this gives me a bit of room to do it tomorrow

omg thanks for the extension, thought i was gonna have to rush a listenthrough since i was occupied by BJSC results

Voted! Thank you for the extension so I didn't have to rush these in before midnight.

That was a really high quality edition so I do apologise to the near-misses I couldn't quite fit in.

Still waiting for another 13 sets of votes!!!

You have about 27 hours and this post is your reminder :)

I got earache from BJSC this month so my votes are much later than usual for this

They’re coming x

I guess you are currently suffering from... little fractures.

Oops thanks for the reminder, I need to remember to do a second listen some time probably tomorrow (I also chose to procrastinate instead of doing it yesterday due to the extension xx).
