AMF WC Classics Edition 118

Post by spiritualized »

Hello everyone,
It's time for instalment n°118 of the Classics Chart, where YOU get to nominate and vote for the best songs ever in a tournament to the death ! Only the cream of the crop will go through the grueling EIGHT weeks of charting.

Nominations will follow the rules below

- only one of the first top 1000 AM songs can be nominated each week.
- A maximum of six of the top AM 1001-10000 songs can be nominated each week.
- that leaves a minimum of 3 places each week reserved for un-acclaimed songs (if you want more than 3, the fourth + unranked song will take the spot of a second tier one)

The top 10 songs by votes (then by most recent nominations) will move on to the next week. In case of equal votes and starting weeks, more songs can advance to the next week. The 10 (or less) new nominations will be added to the pool for the next contest. In case there are less than 20 songs to compete, a randomised song from the 10000 AM songs will be added.

After 8 weeks in the top 10, the song will move to the Hall of Fame.

:scared-shocked: 135 votes last week (-8)
:scared-shocked: A tie at number one ! : Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five & Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
:scared-shocked: 2 new entries : A Tribe Called Quest / Stevie Wonder
:text-bump: Kicked out this week : Simon & Garfunkel / Paul Simon
:text-bump: Radiohead joins the HOF this week !

Lots of great nominations this week but I have to say The Slits cover of this song is one of my favourite covers of all time and my favourite song of theirs. Seconded from me :)
