Unacclaimed VII: Heats, Week 9

Post by Bang Jan »

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.

Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 21:00 UTC.

I watched the 1st hour of a Comedian Harmonists biopic in a German class and „Veronika, der Lenz ist da“ instantly does circuits of my brain when I see their name as a result:

I'm amazed by the low scores for Viola Beach. A really lovely track imo and one of my favorite tracks of 2016. If you haven't seen it you should look at Coldplays tribute at Glastonbury when they cover this track. Maybe busted as the one giving the nomination :)
