2022 Songs So Far - NOMINATIONS

Post by Schüttelbirne »

It's that time of the year again, where we're pitting our favorite songs of the current year against each other. I would like to start this off a bit earlier than last year.

Our previous champions:

2020: Jessie Ware | "Spotlight" (eventual #4 EOY)
2021: Noname | "Rainforest" (eventual #6 EOY)

This tournament is always full of surprises: "Spotlight" beat "Kyoto" (our EOY #1) in the first round, and last year's EOY #1, "Like I Used To" was beaten by "La grande folie" which only received three votes in the EOY poll.

So now it's time for the 2022 tournament!

Please send me a PM with a ranked list of 10 songs you would like to see in the tournament.
The songs have to be new releases from 2022. I am also willing to accept singles from 2021 that were released on 2022 albums, as long as they didn't make an impact on our EOY list last year.

There will be 64 songs in the tournament. That means it will last 10 weeks.

Deadline is Thursday, June 30. The tournament will start on Saturday, July 2.

Also, I won't be running an Albums So Far poll like last year. If you want to see that happen, someone else has got to do it.
