I've been wondering about this particular case, because the pronoun is singular instead of plural, but actually when I read it, I feel like the doubt is absurd, after all if translated to my language "The Time" or "The Tallest Man on Earth" would be singular as well. However, th...

Feeling better now, my dear?

Moonbeam wrote:Last place for "Zero"?!

Yup. I have never understood the acclaim. It's just not anything special to me, and with that feeling the noisy layers during the last two minutes are just annoying.

JR wrote:I'm not understanding the thing about updating rankings- is the question just related to rankings affected by corrections?

I'm using a new formula for the artist ranking. I'm not changing the album an song ratings though, even if the data has been changed/corrected, such as for janet.

When are the song and album rankings gonna be corrected? Just asking out of curiosity. I know it's a lot of work prolly, when hundreds of songs have to move down just so a couple of songs are placed correctly. The last couple of years I haven't updated the rankings, as that would mess up games like...

Thanks for your work Henrik! I've checked all the errors I signaled, and only one seems to have not been solved: El Último de la Fila don't appear under letter "E" in the alphabetical list of artists. However, there's a new one: now, Carla Thomas has two pages, one with the "King &am...

Thanks, Henrik. :) I see the Q ranking is there for "Scream," but I refreshed Janet Jackson's janet. page, abd it still shows The New Nation rather than the the Vibe 50 Greatest Albums Since 1993 (on which it has the No. 22 ranking). Do I need to take further action for it to appear? The ...

I have tried to correct all the errors reported here . Please report all kinds of errors that still remains, which may or may not have been reported before. Thanks! The thread is closed. I'm working on the site update and don't want to see any more errors at this stage. :whistle: Please wait until a...

I am closing this thread, as I have tried to correct all the errors that have been reported here. I will start a new error thread.

This thread is to make you aware that I have updated the site again. Not with a new album or song ranking, but with all reported errors corrected. At least I hope so. Also, the artist ranking has been made using a new formula . And as usual, you need to delete your temporary internet files to see pa...

About time to nominate something again.

Henrik, reading your post immediately gives me a bad feeling again, since I partly contributed to the earlier exit of Johnny and Mary from the chart. What if we extend the rules for the Hall of Fame, like e.g.: Go through all 10 weeks ... or ... win at least three weeks? (something similar like aft...

2014 Hall of Fame (10 weeks of advancing votes; automatically retired from chart): Future Islands - "Seasons (Waiting on You)" (Week 10-19) Setherex, I don't think "Seasons" made the Hall of Fame, although it was as close as it can possibly get. It came 11th in the 10th week! :?...

I will include this list, but it (and Pitchfork's EOY lists from 2010-2014) will get a somewhat lower weight, because the time is short between their EOY lists and this list. OK Henrik. So what for the midterm year lists like this one for example? http://www.mowno.com/articles/playlists-zoom/2014-l...

I will include this list, but it (and Pitchfork's EOY lists from 2010-2014) will get a somewhat lower weight, because the time is short between their EOY lists and this list. For each list I need to decide what songs were eligible. For a lot of lists I make a simple cut between two years. For exampl...

If you manage to build a spreadsheet of everyone's albums, it would be great if you, as an amendment to the main list, could post the top 100 albums not on AM. If you began collecting lists using the AM spreadsheet, I suppose it will be easy to sort out the rest afterwards.

I have noticed this and that's why I thought it was funny to joke about it. Thanks for a great game!

Resident Advisor 30 tracks of 2007

Thanks to Iagire for this finding.

Obviously it doesn't matter who sings Leonard Cohen's songs, as "Suzanne" is clearly this week's "Hallelujah" with nothing but first and fourth places so far (of which 4 out of 6 are 4th places

).

There are a lot of very acclaimed songs in the UK (and by extension in Europe) that get little recognition in the US : Oasis, Pulp, the Stone Roses and Blur only have 1 or 2 songs successful in the US and other acts like the Charlatans, Happy Mondays, Underworld, Suede or Supergrass barely make a d...

I had noticed this trend, but probably looked at different levels than top 500 and top 100, because these numbers took me by surprise. It made me create a diagram of the number of songs per year, for different levels. And this diagram shows that the '90s and the '00s are pretty similar when going fu...

This looks very reader-ish, but I can't find any proof of that. So it seems eligible.

Henrik, Thanks for giving me a reason to procrastinate for weeks to come! I am updating my iTunes playlist to match the new AM list. I hope to do a year every few days. I will group what I see in a handful of posts. stone37, special thanks to you for your in depth checks. Fantastic! As I said to Ia...

Thanks to everyone for your corrections!!!

So Henrik, congratulation for this update. Great with now 6000 songs but i hope next update will be with 10 000 songs! As i tell you, i have noticed many errors in the previous update that i have filled in a spreadsheet. I'll check it with the new update and 'll send you. An example: Searching for ...

Only S left, then. Thanks Neopard and Sweepstakes Ron!

Here is the last site update with singles instead of songs: https://web.archive.org/web/20050321032 ... music.net/

I'm amazed by how many TV series you have seen. I can only make a top 10 that I'm comfortable with. 1. Fawlty Towers 2. Twin Peaks 3. The Wire 4. Breaking Bad 5. Glappet (Swedish) 6. Seinfeld 7. The Office (UK) 8. Orange Is The New Black 9. Dexter 10. 24 There are several Swedish TV series for kids...

I think I will make a top 200 at the most this time. Partly because that will save me a huge amount of time for other things, such as including lists for the next site update, but also because I don't really want to give any points to a very acclaimed album that is only my #335 or #499. How do the r...

Stephan , this sounded promising but I'm afraid that it didn't work either. It is 644 and the .htaccess file didn't help.

The errors have kept coming in, while I have spent most of the time working out that Mod issue. But I suppose it's about time to make the update. Probably within a week.

Right. And so should Julee Cruise's "Floating Into the Night".

Are we published the list here or not ?

NO! Why would you have to leave out Morricone?

I just had a look at the members list, and saw that Bruce managed to take the second place behind me (catch me if you can!). Quite impressive considering that he was around less than half as long as most of the rest of us. Here is the current top 10: 1. Henrik (1897 posts) 2. Bruce (1232) 3. Brad (1...

I wish Grace was only Jeff Buckley's singing. I can't stand the noisy guitar here and there.

I guess I have to change the forum language to Swedish!

I seem to have located the problem, but it's the weirdest thing ever and I have no idea how to solve it. For people familiar with phpBB, the problem is the file posting.php in the language/en folder. This file can't be touched! If I just add a blank space at the end of the file, it won't work! If I ...

I had forgotten that I need to update the search index after each upgrade. Now it should work again.

Ouch, the names disappeared because I unintalled (and re-installed) the mod.

It's driving me nuts. I have also checked that the problem still exist with the standard theme and template.

I haven't done a re-istallation of the mod yet though. That's all I can think of.

I have spent half the night working out a scoring system for lists of 500 albums, and as much as I intended to steal Moonbeam's formula and adapt it to a larger pool, I have decided to use a flatter curve. As a reminder, Moonbeam's formula for 100 scored entries is score = 12,28344771/tan((position...

This is what I have been worried about, all since he came back. It might just get worse if create new accounts and don't reveal who he is. How can we defend ourselves against that?
