I wouldn’t usually reveal this but the person behind Dolly is Kobbar; who is of course fuming that it wasn’t the day the contest opened for perfect impact

When any singer dies I always think of Kobbar. 😄

can someone explain the Kobbar reference please?!

I’ll try to find some of his quotes for you when I’m done with work, they were very amusing.

But in short he used to congratulate people’s death timing if they died on a Sunday for maximum impact in the chart that week. He viewed anyone who died midweek as a wasted opportunity for death based sales and chart peaks 😂

Voted. A nice spread of decades in my votes, just coincidentally. I actually think my song might get a bit lost among these songs but I stand by my entry.

In particular Whitney Houston, I think. She died on the wrong day to maximize her chart position the following weekend.

Voted. I did a short commentary about my own song, as requested. There was a high quality of entries and my whole top 10 were very good.
