If your songs aren't there, you could use Google/Wikipedia - or PT me if in doubt. .................................................. IT'S EASY Allot your points in 3 sections: PART A: 5 Existing songs in Top 40 #22 (below) you'd like to advance: (Plus) +5, +4, +3, +2, +1.

PART C: 5 New Songs you'd like to see in the next Top 40: (Plus) *5, +4, +3, +2, +1.

OLD 55 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thanks Kenne and Pink. You can't get New songs in except by voting down Songs near the bottom of the Chart. We might make some changes to the voting system soon, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 ... but if you don't vote down songs at the top, they will remain there forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Like 'Georgia On My Mind' you mean Kenne ? I'll be voting down 'You Don't Own Me' because it's had enough time at the Top. But I won't be voting down half the Top Ten ! I like to keep things as simple as possible but rule changes may be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Maybe the ones at the bottom that don' t get any votes could be replaced by the new ones who get some...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thanks for your suggestion, Dear Elena. Any song that doesn't get votes (for or against) is penalised two "disinterest" points. I won't care if no new ones make it this week. I'll have enough trouble just voting up only 5 songs, there's so many good ones there. But I will be supporting 'Then He Kissed Me', as I said I'd do.

OLD 55 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 God love you Elena ! You're one of a kind. I'm glad your ribs are on the mend. Speaking of health, our friend Ian (CanAm) went into hospital last week for a major spinal operation. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

OLD 55 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thank you very much Laurie. I hope we get more votes soon. I think the Top 40 is worth keeping and I hope others do too ! For those who are concerned, I won't allow consistent negative voting to continue, and spoil our Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks for voting Phil. OK Kenne. Nothing as yet about Ian Elena. We'll certainly let you know as soon as we hear something. ................................................. Now, on "Negative Voting". I'm really talking about indiscriminately voting down Top Ten songs just to advance songs you like. However, I certainly don't believe there's anything wrong with voting down any songs you just don't like (your earwigs), or one that's been on Top for weeks, or any that have 'overstayed their welcome'. We're nice people here, as a friend said to me recently. And it's only a Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
