Hello, this is a bit late because I am an idiot and also I was busy resigning.

[Poll #1451695]

Best Song of 2001: Finalists

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Aaliyah pips Eve to win heat #8; Bubba Sparxxx, Basement Jaxx and Roots Manuvaxx join them by a clear margin from the 6th place song.

So who's made it through to the 2001 final?

( Top 40 of 2001 )

Nominations for 2002 will begin on Friday in the same format as for 2001, so get your thinking caps on...

It's the 2001 Tracks of the Decade Second Chance Saloon

[meserach.livejournal.com]

Get ready to redress some grievances! Because you (very very quietly) demanded it, I've rescued forty-five tracks from the 2001 Best Song of the Decade heats.

Forty of them were the top 5 non-qualifying tracks from their respective heats. An additional five have been added based on my personal whim a rigorous mathematical formula of percentages and suchlike.

They all enter the Second Chance Saloon. Only the top 5 will leave, to enter a final which will determine which of them is best. (and maybe Kat will be nice to the winner later when we finally get to the proper finals or something)

As is customary, you get ten ticks. Use as many of them as you like.

This poll will close next Wednesday lunchtime, so I can run the final while we're still doing the nominations for 2002.

A Spotify playlist with most but not all of the tracks is available here:

Phew!
