Post by spiritualized »

It's time for instalment n°85 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.

NEW RULES !

Nominations will follow the rules below :

- only the first top 1000 AM song nominated each week would be eligible.
- only the first six top AM 1001-10000 songs nominated each week would be eligible.
- that would leave 3 places each week reserved for un-acclaimed songs (if more than 3, the fourth unranked song will take the spot of a second tier one)

For this week (2 nominations left)

Top Tier (1-1000)

Second Tier (1001-10,000)
