Hello everyone,
It's time for instalment n°143 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.
PS : sorry about last week, been pretty busy !
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)
- No ranked song can be nominated twice. Ever.
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.
a measly 72 votes last week (-16 votes)
Lenoard Cohen's So Long Marianne enters the fray at the top spot
4 New Entries : Leonard Cohen / Billy Joel / Stelly Dan / Catherine Ribeiro + 2Bis
Kicked out this week : The National / The Cure / Green Day / Blink 182 / Pavement / Chemical Brothers / Wavves / Cindy Lauper
No Hoffers this week
Listen to all 20 songs and enjoy voting for your favorite 10 songs... You can change your mind until the end of the 7 day period.

Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 143
Hi Edre... just FYI, both of these have already been nominated (both by me, coincidentally!) In fact, "Move On Up" is in the HOF! Not sure if "These Days" is eligible for another go-round or not, but just wanted to give you a heads-up...Edre Peraza wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 4:25 pm Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up (#338)
