Nominations reminder

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Blimey, I've already got 253 nominations for the best song of 2000! Plus at least two dozen that have been shunted over to another year.

You've still got until 8pm BST on Monday to nominate, which you can do by going here and leaving a comment (don't worry if you think someone might have already nominated something, I can easily get rid of duplicates in my spreadsheet).

meserach has kindly put together a Spotify playlist of the nominations so far, feel free to add stuff in there but please leave a comment on the original post as well, otherwise I might miss your nomination.

New guideline: if a song made the UK top ten in a particular year then that will definitely count as its poll year. Re-entries will default to the earliest year.

Stuff on Now 46 that no-one has nominated yet:

Mary Mary : "Shackles (Praise You)"
Gabrielle : "When a Woman"
Tom Jones and Mousse T : "Sex Bomb"
Shania Twain : "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)"
Billie Piper : "Day and Night"

Oh, good call on the Spotify playlists for these!

How's the voting going to work with so many tracks?!

Lots of heats! :)

I'd suggest polling all noms (even tho many will end up with only one or two ticks) but doing it in blocks over 2-3 weeks. Up to MC Kat tho of course.

Yep, that's the plan. The heats will likely be grouped in alphabetical order by song title (so we don't get all the Daphne & Celeste in one heat etc), say 40-odd songs in each heat, which worked ok for the Now polls.
