And that's it for me today! I'm going on a trip out of town this weekend, so I'll be back with the top 40 rollout starting Monday. Funnily enough, I'm going to a concert, a concert by one of the acts featured in our top 40. Can anyone guess who it is and where their song(s) might end up?

Hello all! We are back again with another issue of the forum's favorite songs at the end of year. We had a total of 47 lists submitted, and more than 1,700 songs listed between them. A single first-place vote gets a song just outside of the top 250, so unfortunately, not everyone's SOTY made it in t...

Fun fact to feel old: the forum's first AOTY, Illinois, came out when the lead singer of this year's AOTY was in primary school.

Great work Holden! I'll be starting the songs rollout later this week - thank you all for bearing with me.

I'm around a quarter of the way through data input, so it's still going to be a little while. I apologize for the delay, but I'm excited by our turnout. Looks to be 48 different lists in total, so we'll have some very interesting results.

acroamor

My general plan for songs such as these is I still tabulate the information, but then exclude them from the final rollout. I'd prefer not to have to adjust the lists after the fact if possible. In addition, the songs work is continuing apace, but I also thought I'd throw in a brief list for the albu...

Hello! I've been very busy with some other projects and work and honestly forgot that we had pushed the deadline up to the 31st so was waiting till later in February to start compiling. As a result, I'm going to be a little bit behind on the songs rollout this year. I apologize for the delay, but th...

That works for me! I can edit the initial post.

If we're splitting hairs about "politics" in these lists, the first edition from 1952 is probably the most political list they've done, with almost all of the top 10 dealing with class consciousness, reflective of the strong leftist/Marxist tendencies within the film world at that period.

Hello all! Another great year of music slowly winds its way down, and so arises another annual poll. I'll be running the songs poll again this year, unless anyone has any objections. Holden ran the albums poll last time around, and the position seems to be open for him or whoever wants to as well. A...

Thrilled to have "won", so to speak, although I'm a little shocked the well-regarded jazz classic on my list performed better than all the pop-punk and Flockaveli. Thank you for running this tournament! One of the best games on the forum.
