Unacclaimed VIII: Semi-finals, Week 2

Post by Bang Jan »

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of five songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 5 points, second gets 4 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the grand final. 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. No repechage from here, Only the group winners advance!

Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 22:00 BST.

"Pages Turn" is pretty easily my favorite discovery from this game so far, and I don't see that changing now that we're past the opening round. I actually prefer the original version to the alternate version presented here, but both are fantastic.

Plenty more where that came from on https://open.spotify.com/album/2HFszyPH ... =copy-link (too many for some people but still loads worth unearthing there!)
