Lucky Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 * Special Top Ten Announcement * So guys, those of us on the team have been talking, and we've come to a conclusion, one that's been glaring at all of us for a while. We regret to announce that this week will be the last regular weekly Top Ten, at least for the time being. You all know that participation has dropped steadily over the past year or more. What used to be a field of 50 or more nominations has dwindled to an average of 33. We are voting 1/3 of the nominations into the Ten. In addition, we all have real life obligations that are tugging at us. We've come to the point that none of us have the time necessary for the commitment the Top Ten requires. I know, we are sad too. The Ten has become a longstanding tradition here at Songfacts, and we hate to see it end as much as I'm sure you all do. So, to that end we've decided we'll keep things going on at least a limited basis, doing a special, or even a regular ten once or twice a month. Next week we're planning to do a special, a real special. I'm not sure what yet, but we'll let you know in a day or two. After next week, we'll play it by ear. Maybe this will just end up being a hiatus, who knows? Good Lord, I've been doing this for 5 years. This is going to seem so strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 ^ Let's all give a big thanks to Lucky for everything she's done to keep this little game going. And since this will probably be the last regular ten for a while, I'll be sure to nominate some tunes that have special meaning for me: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere - Neil Young (1969) Stuck Between Stations - The Hold Steady (2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yes. Thanks for the fun Lucky. You've stuck with it through thick and thin for all these years. But like you say, it may come back. I just think most of us have so much going on in our life's we can't give it the commitment and time it really requires. Who knows what might happen further down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Thank you, people. Darryl, Lucky, Tim, Lea and all who have been ruling the Tops. Sorry, I'm forgetting about other songfactors who did lend a hand but I'm tired too... I really hope we will still have some Top Tens every now and then... it would seem strange to me too... So and THANK YOU!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix - 3 nominations each I'm willing to do the specials for a few weeks at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
