Unacclaimed IX: Heats, Week 9

Post by Bang Jan »

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. 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. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.

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

I'm a bit drained because now I realize I'm only halfway through the first round, but I'm gritting my teeth.

Good stuff this week.

For Flowers, are we looking at the original version or the Sunship edit?

I think the Sunship edit is the original version. I can't find a version that precedes it.

Fair enough! Looking around on Discogs I think the C&J mix and the Sunship mix were released at the same time? The C&J is the one I was familiar with.
