In calculating this week's PTT rankings, one fact became very apparent: there is a good reason chart-topping songs get to their destination - universal acceptance. There were only 10 songs from the original 50 that could be said to have mass appeal, according to Billboard. Just guess how they turned up for

Yay glad people enjoyed it! I enjoyed it too! And it's pretty awesome to see some songs that I know people wouldn't have heard before getting votes- especially the kiwi stuff and the couple in Spanish!

And good to see you back on here Bluesboy, hope you're feeling tonnes better! =)

Sorry for being so late: I was really pressed for time last week, under a mountain of demands, and had to get my own PTT playlist prepared before the weekend. It was all a bit frantic.

Finally got round to it this afternoon during some unexpected "time-off". Good stuff. Never heard of The Coshercot Honeys/Brain Slave before, but I'll keep a lookout for them now. :)

Hehe cool that y'all had your say even though the list was already up!!

And sucks about the Coshercot Honeys, bf, they split some time last year. So there's only one ep of Coshercot Honeys and then a few Brain Slaves songs (some of which are impossible to track down except for videos recorded on audience cellphones at gigs). Still great, fun band while they lasted!
