Unacclaimed VII: Heats, Week 7

Post by Bang Jan »

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 21:00 UTC.

Favourite song of the week: Your Love. "The Outfield" didn't ring any bell. But when I heard the first few seconds of Your Love, I was like "Hey, that's not The Outfield, that's...", but then I had difficulties putting my finger on who I actually thought it was. The Police, I guess? Funny that I was so familiar with this song without having any idea what it's called or who did it.

I think RYM user JeffRamos described "Your Love" best: "i feel like this was designed to be a pretty bland radio song and ended up being amazing by accident"
