Coveted Koganbot Teen Of Pop Award standings

[koganbot]

Updating standings in the race for the Coveted Koganbot Teen Of Pop Award. For those who didn't see my explanations last week, it is much harder to score points in this race than in the Premier and Chart leagues. 0 points if I know the track already (though if I heard and then forgot you can score, which helped all three of today's Premier strikers), 1 point if your track makes it to one of my Listen To These A Lot playlists, and a whopping 3 points if I place your track onto a Put This On A Mixtape playlist. Tracks can rise and fall until the competition is over (Edo Maajka jumped from the Play A Lot to the Mixtape a couple of days ago, and several more could also make the leap, though most of my emotional energy these days is spent debating whether "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" belongs on a mix). Best track so far is Michaela Melian's "Brautlied"; best moment is the opening to Asian Dub Foundation's "1,000 Mirrors"; I debate every day about moving that song into a mixtape but so far I've found Sinead's vocals just too well-mannered.

As of April 5, 2007:

lockedintheatti 4 points (Michaela Melian, Faye Wong)
infov0re 4 points (Ben Watt, Trentemoller)
poptasticuk 4 points (S.H.E., Linda Sundblad)
inhibitorylinks 3 points (Edo Maajka)
dubdobdee 3 points (BarobaX)
braisedbywolves 3 points (Asian Dub Foundation, Xinlisupreme, Eve)
martinskidmore 2 points (Irma Thomas, Ultraviolence)
zenith 2 points (Goose, Eve)
fugitivemotel 1 point (Millionaire)
lisa_go_blind 1 point (Dawn)
alexmacpherson 1 point (Tori Amos)
bengraham 1 point (Oi Va Voi)
piratemoggy 1 point (AFI)
skillextric 1 point (Sing-Sing)
katstevens 1 point (LAX)
jel_bugle 1 point (Blind Guardian)

Just corrected it.

Oops, zenith's point today was for the Pack, not for Eve.

Hooray, still winning! (jointly, though - must make sure my next pick is a good one)

have not even scored yet, eek. i already have my track picked out for his week though

[http://users.livejournal.com/xyzzzz__/]

wouldn't it be 'hilarious' if I won the PP but didn't get a point off koganbot?

[koganbot]

Well, it's hard to get points off the koganbot (lj user="byebyepride"> pulled a koganbot second-place in the poptasticuk home match without getting his Mott ballad onto a koganbot playlist), though notice that tracks made for the xyzzzz have scored in koganbotland, which indicates that a xyzzzz track is likely to jump the lists at some point.
