If you need a way to kill time before the rollout begins, I'd suggest checking out the individual lists. There's a lot to discover in them... believe me, there is a lot.

I'm very glad you got your list in! But I still have to be upfront about these duplicates... How do you wish to deal with them?

Is this video from the most recent list?

Yes, it is! I made it myself, in fact. But I'm definitely not making one for this year. Anyone else is welcome to take up the task.

I hate to interrupt your triumphant return, but... you put in a duplicate here. It's okay, you're far from the only one (no pun intended) who's done this.

The deadlines already passed, really. I'm basically just waiting for Dan. But it will still take several weeks before the results are ready.

The plan is for the rollout to show the top 2000. After the rollout ends, I will share the complete spreadsheet, so you can view all the data and manipulate it however you please.

OK...I know I said I wouldn't edit my list anymore, and I haven't but...I just realized I forgot to put Running Up That Hill on my list, and that's an all-time favorite of mine.

Oh yeah, one more thing: I haven’t scanned a lot of the most recent lists for errors or duplicates yet. So keep an eye on your inbox just in case.

And with that, THE POLL IS FINALLY OVER! Of course, some people still having late lists coming in. The hard deadline will be signified by me posting a list of everyone whose list was submitted (after I add them all into the spreadsheet).

I have also lowered the minimum per list to just 200. Discussion about lowering it any further is still open.
