poptimistsNEW NOMINATION RULE ALERT
This time there's going to be a 10 song per person limit on stuff that didn't chart in the UK top 40 that year. This means:
- we won't have 20+ heats per year
- we'll all still get to find out about those forgotten gems
- dudes won't feel bad using up their nomination quota on Kylie
- collusion will probably run rampant, oh well
Obviously you can nominate fewer than 10 non-charting songs but I have a feeling some of you will take full advantage of the quota :-)
YOU HAVE LOST ME TOTALLY.
Sorry! Here's some examples:
Person A nominates tracks 1-10 from Kompakt Total 3 (none of which charted in the UK), plus Bob The Builder and Afroman.
Person B nominates Westlife only.
Person C nominates the entire top 40 from May 21st 2001 because they loved it so much.
Person D nominates 'Sonne' by Rammstein only.
HOW ON EARTH DO I FIGURE OUT IF IT CHARTED IN THE UK THAT YEAR?
everyhit.co.uk is your friend here. If your song might be spelled weirdly and doesn't show up in the results, try searching by artist instead of title (or vice versa) or using 'contains the word' instead of 'first few letters'.
OK SO IT DIDN'T CHART IN THE UK BUT I STILL DUNNO WHAT YEAR IT WAS RELEASED?
Here's the general criteria for determining what year something falls under:
1. Everyhit
2. Discogs UK release date
3. Discogs US release date
4. My werk database
5. Wikipedia/other interweb source
So if Discogs says it was 2001 but Wikipedia says 2002 then we go with Discogs.
MY NOMINATION WAS RE-RELEASED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT YEARS! HELP!
Go for the year that the song had its highest chart placing in the UK.
YOU TOTALLY MISSED ONE OF MY 2000 NOMINATIONS LAST TIME DUDE...
I recommend that you post your nominations in a new comment thread so they don't get lost in the threading (the first post of a thread always shows up). This isn't mandatory but it makes it much less likely that I'll miss them. Don't worry about repeating yourself - my spreadsheet will take care of that.
ARGH! ITS GOING TO TAKE ME AGES TO THINK OF MY NOMINATIONS!
Nominations won't close until the end of next week so you've got a while to think of some cracking tunes. I'll post reminders nearer the time.
