The 13th poll is over.

 

News to excite:

 

1. Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand - Let Me Think About It

The song is now retired, yay! It will now have a retiree poll, to decide on the final score.

 

2. Replacement issue.

Normally, when a song is retired, the sixth place take over. However, by the result shown in RR13, two songs are placed fifth equal, speaking for the sixth place itself. So, in this case:

 

These songs are safe: Sunblock - Baby Baby, Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone (both placed 5th equal) - either song would replace the retired song - both songs will get a bonus point for replacing the retired song, as well as their placings.

These songs are eliminated: The Killers - Read My Mind, Timbaland f/ One Republic - Apologize, Rihanna - Shut Up and Drive, Hoosiers - Worried About Ray (all placed 7th equal)

 

Full results will be shown below.

 

3. Leona - Bleeding Love AND Britney Spears - Gimme More

This is the FINAL poll for these two songs, as the song is now on the poll for the fifth time.

 

4. THE TWIST (Link: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55187)!

 

Alright, here is the twist. Here at the 2007 Track of the Year, despite having retirements for the favourite songs, I feel that some overlooked songs, which had no chart runs, deserve a second chance at being the Track of the Year. Although, the eliminated songs which had no chart runs are not considered for the semis (including the semis alternate), I felt that some songs were far too overlooked. So, of the 30+ songs which had no chart runs, FIVE songs will be given another shot at trying to qualify to be the Track of the Year. This is what will happen.

 

1. There will be a seperate poll (link above - next to title) of the 36 songs which will be polled. The five most voted songs will be given a second chance.

2. The remaining songs will be in my spin-off poll called 2007 Limited Track of the Year - which will be explained in RR16.

3. Afterwards, there will be another poll, where the five songs and the twenty remaining new songs will be polled (the new and resurrected songs will be polled seperately in one post), to decide which order that the remaining songs will be in. In each poll, there will be four new songs and one resurrected song. The more popular the song, the better it will be in sooner Round Robins.

4. If there is are songs (resurrected or new) having no chart runs then, they will be eliminated - but will compete in the 2007 Limited Track of the Year.

5. The new tracks from this Round Robin (RR14) to the final one (RR20) having no chart runs, will also be competing in the 2007 Limited Track of the Year.

 

Just a few thing:

 

1. As said in RR14, I have planned this twist back in September, when I have started this poll game of 2007 Track of the Year.

2. 2007 Limited Track of the Year does NOT mean the worst track of the year. It's just a poll for the songs which have been overlooked, having their own title. It's just like having a wide release and limited release at the cinemas. So, 2007 Limited Track of the Year still counts as being the potential best track of the year, just that they are not too popular with Buzzjack members.

3. Don't hate the twist, please. Like 2007 Track of the Year, I am still trying.

 

The twist poll will close the same time as RR14 (11:30pm, November 10).

 

So, here are the official results (Purple denotes being safe, Red denotes being eliminated, Green denotes being retired):
