The Seventh Songfactors' Choice Ultimate Top Ten - Round 1


Farin

Recommended Posts

As you probably all noticed, we're starting this episode of the UTT a bit late, but that was because we didn't want to interrupt the flow of the Specials and the PTTs that were following :)

Now on with the show...

[big]THE SEVENTH SONGFACTORS' CHOICE ULTIMATE TOP TEN - ROUND 1[/big]

- No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our 25 top tens.

- Voting rules will be exactly the same as the normal top tens - rank your favourite songs in the list from 1-10, and 10 points will be given to your number 1 song, 9 for number 2 etc.

- We realised it would be ridiculous to expect people to come up with a top ten from all 250 songs, so I have seeded the songs and split them into fair groups.

- The results will be announced in about five days from the start date of this thread.

- This is Group 1 of 5, and this group contains 50 songs. I will then combine the five top tens together to form a group, and then we will vote on these songs to form the Ultimate Top Ten.

I completely missed a song that I overlooked :doh: and my edit time expired a few minutes ago.

I think #150 was sometime in January, you and I came in April and May respectively, so I guess we're sitting this one out.

I always thought that was a stupid rule and I would be offended if I wasn't allowed to participate because I was too new.
