Because you (well,

braisedbywolves demanded it!

Stats go: Played-Won-Drew-Lost and then points in bold. There's also "goal difference", which is based on the rankings each week, but I'm not listing that yet.

Ooh, very interesting - I'm starting to see the advantages of having one's turn early, now.

From:

Meaning that by not playing early, you get a "free" week of scouting?

A little shocked that I'm near the top of the table - this was the first week I felt like I was actually successful.

Inspired by a

blue_russian comment on today's Pop Premiership thread, I've created The Controversial Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings, which are much harder to score in than the League Of Pop is. A track gets you 0 points if I knew it already (this hurts Kat, Lex, Martin, and

strange_powers), 1 point if I place it on one of my "Play These A Lot" playlists, and 3 points if it makes it onto a "Put This On A Mixtape" playlist. The wrinkle is that I can change my mind at any time, add, raise, lower, or delete a song. So it ain't over 'til it's over, and you can guess that a few 1-pointers will jump to a mixtape along the way. (The reason this is "Teen Of Pop" is that anything I like is teenpop because I was once a teenager.)(34 years ago.)

as of March 28, 2007:

poptasticuk 4 points (S.H.E., Linda Sundblad)

infov0re 4 points (Ben Watt, Trentemoller)

inhibitorylinks 1 point (Edo Maajka)

zenith 1 point (Goose)

alexmacpherson 1 point (Tori Amos)

Clearly I need to stay away from South Americans. Yma Sumac & Miranda! have both given me crushing defeats so far, whereas my German & Cantonese stars have done much better.

From:

koganbot

Actually, the Miranda was a near miss on getting into my overcrowded "Play These Songs" playlists, and would have been a WIN if I'd been the home team last week (and I like it more than the other three Mirandas I've heard).

[And I was about to go into lengthy praise for some Yma Sumac song I'd heard, but then I remembered it was actually a Timi Yuro song.]

Yay, at least I win in Koganland!

4th is good. As it's lisa_go_blind's turn this week it may give us a chance to cheekily catch up! Why are the top 4 in italics?

From:

freakytigger.livejournal.com

The Top 4 are in italics because they're the players who will qualify for the knockout play-offs to decide the overall winner (and allow me to road-test the methodology for the summer's big Poptimists Orgafun project).
