AMF WC Classics Edition 167

Post by spiritualized »

Hello everyone,
It's time for instalment n°167 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)
- 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.

:scared-shocked: 100 votes last week (+24 votes)
:scared-shocked: Chicago enters the fray straight at the top !!
:scared-shocked: 5 new entries (Chicago/Radiohead/Depeche Mode/OMD/Death in Vegas )
:text-bump: Kicked out this week : PJ Harvey/The Loving Spoonful / Susanne Sundfor/Nina Simone/Stereolab
:text-bump: No Hoffers this week

Hello to all
Due to life changes which I need time to arrange, I will put this on hiatus until further notice.
Sorry about this, but I just do not have the time anymore to cater for this.

If anyone wants to take over, I can forward the spreadsheet I have used up until now.
