6001/6096: Heats, Week 1
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 15:00 UTC.

Thanks for hosting this again, Bang Jan. I think eight songs per week is a good pensum.

I feel pretty neutral about everything in the first group.
Cheap Thrills is by far my favorite here.

I'm too used to Pitchfork, so I am both surprised that Web In Front is out of the top 6000 and not doing well here. I assumed it was a consensus 90s indie rock classic.
I took into consideration the SeanPaulless version of Cheap Thrills, I think he really drags it down.
I'd call a tie between Alley-Oop and Blackberry Way, so clearly a bracket I enjoyed much more than the other.

Re: 6001/6096: Heats, Week 1
Good point Henrik, but I think that comes from the fact Nassim & I seem to come from very similar musical backgrounds, which have no place for Charles Trenet.Henrik wrote:No love for Charles Trenet from the fellow countrymen.
I don't think it's to do with the age though, I love Edith Piaf for example.
But for a reason I cannot fathom, Piaf has remained in the French collective consciousness whereas Trenet has slowly waned.
Come to think of it, my daughters learned at least two Piaf songs in primary school, nothing remotely close to Trenet however. Maybe that's why... Or maybe perfume adverts
PS : another proof of the proximity of our tastes : both of us voted Web in Front at the top...
