Hello Moonbeam, glad you can join us in the chart

Voting rules :
10 votes max
Voting lasts a week
I generally suggest that one votes for 5 of their preferred newcomers to keep the momentum of the novelty going, and 5 for the established songs but it's up to you.
The top 10 go to the next week. In case of a tie, the more recent song gets priority
Once a song stays in the top ten for 8 weeks, it moves to the hall of fame

Nomination rules :
Song no older than six months old (re releases accepted)
No more than 2 songs from the same artist in the chart
You can second songs to help them appear in priority on the chart
Songs can be renominated if it gets three renoms.
If not enough nominations, songs from otisredding bimonthly chart get nominated.

I think that about covers it ! Happy voting !

Excellent, thanks for explaining! The one song I am dying to nominate is Jenny Wilson’s “Forever Is a Long Time”. The album was released in Sweden on March 23rd, though only in the U.K. on April 20th. If that means it is eligible as a re-release, great! If not, I will nominate something else.
