Why 2005 became the first selected year ? For 2000s decade I had two main options, but 2005 is more personal for me than 2006 year. Some years ago I had a dillema between many possible options, when selected the first years for 80s and 90s retrospective charts ("Gražios Dainos") . As true stan I selected the years when my music goddesses were born. Kristina was born in 1987 year and Ivana was born in 1992 year. 2005 is the most important year in music for me, because my all-time # 1 act Lithuanian girl group YVA started the glorious page in a history of pop music. P.S : Also I already named two my least favourite songs from 2006 year one month ago. I don't try to hide my preferences. Everybody knows about the things, which like, dislike or just don't care. Even if sometimes it's like a walking on thin ice. My rate system: 10 - Almost as good as "Beautiful Song" from Anmary 9 - Iconic 8 - Wonderful 7 - Very good 6 - Good 5 - Average 4 - Forgettable 3 - Weak 2 - Bad 1 - Very bad 0 - Awful It works well, but please don't compare my middle rate (6-7) for songs with male and female vocals. Yes, I rarely listen male singers and groups (mostly for rates and music competitions), but on the other side my rates for female singers are stricter. I'm very "greedy" person, when it comes to songs rate. There were the years (even in retro period), when my SOTY was 8/10. Josefin Nilsson - Heaven And Hell from 1993 year is a good sample. The most songs will have average 3 or 4 out of 10. Is it possible to get 10 ? Yes, but there are only 20 (21) songs in all history of pop music, which got a perfect 10 from me. Only 11 (12) were represented in UK singles chart. What about 8-9 ? It's much more easy to get it, but still hard. I try to rate the most UK top 40 songs from the selected years, but... Rules : - I will skip all instrumental tracks, if the score is the important thing for you that count it as my 0/10. - I will not rate any EP, because it's not fair to compare them with singles. - I will rate only the most popular song from double / triple singles. - I will skip the re-issues of old singles, which already were top 40 hits in the past years. - I will skip the remixes. In the end I will compile two short yearly charts with the best and the worst hit singles.

Yes, you are right. :)

Norway Possibly it's the biggest surprise for you, but Norway don't have any Eurovision songs from 21st century, which I like. I can only remember about their wonderful entries from 1970s. So instead any Eurovision song I gave a link on very good NF song "Carrie" (2009), which sounds like Katy Perry from her "One Of The Boys" days. Best result in my Eurovision ranking : Winner (1976, 1979, 1988)* * - Norway 1988 is the weakest winner from all my Eurovision rankings (1956-2020), sometimes I think that even 6/10 is too much for that song.

"Let's ruin the year" idea won in a previous poll. I will "ruin" five years from five decades (from 1970s to 2010s). 2010s is not very retro thing at all, so I prefer to start with any other decade. Let's ruin the year It's the same idea with "Julian rates", but his project is really epic. I wish to start with some selected years from 1970-2012 period, also will not do it in a chronological order. For sample after 1975 year we can have 2010 rate e.t.c. I gave the title "Let's ruin" because the most songs will have average 3 or 4 out of 10 and my music taste is an opposite to the majority of forum members. Which years I will not to do from the selected periods ? I will skip all years, which already were used for "Gražios Dainos" charts. From 1990s - 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1999 Selected years : 2005, 1980 Which year have a good chances to be ruined ? From 1970s - 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 From 1990s - 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 (In future) From 2010s - 2010, 2012 Some years choices are safe, some are very against the taste of a majority on Buzzjack.

You can add Stevie Nicks and Debbie Harry singles from UK Top 75 in rate.

I wanted GA vs No Doubt final.

Just for a poll, I will move it in 20th century, if 70s / 80s / 90s will win.

"Let's ruin the year" won. Do you want the second poll with a decade selection ?

I will join to Fleetwood Mac rate/ranking, if will like the rules/songs selection.

For ABBA we can do a little more deeper ranking and add (at least) More ABBA Gold compilation. After 78 songs in Beatles ranking, 50 or more songs for ABBA is OK thing. For Blondie rate you must add X-Offender, In The Flash, Rip Her To Shreds, One Way Or Another .... maybe also "I'm Gonna Love You Too" and "11.59".
