This is likely going to be my third official rankdown as the ARIA assortment continues to stall out so now I welcome you to Randomly Specific: Vol. 1! I'm known mainly as a pop guy, my tastes run very mainstream, and there is still pop music on offer - but this collection of songs has been handpicked by myself to showcase some of the other things I'm into. Some of them are artists I enjoy from outside of my regular wheelhouse, some are just songs I enjoy from artists I don't regularly listen to or am otherwise unfamiliar with myself. Most, if not all, should be wholly unfamiliar to you. This list has been a work in progress for a while now as I continued to remember other songs/artists that I could show off. At present, the game is still divided up into two volumes, but each set features 25 songs (up from the originally-envisioned 20). Some of these songs, I expect you will listen to and think, 'oh, that makes sense he likes this', and others, I'm expecting more of a 'he likes this?!' reaction. I may be a pop guy but I may surprise you lol. Unlike the ARIA game, you'll have the entire list from the outset even as I reveal a few songs at a time. Also, the standard guideline applies; because the Australian record labels are s**t about geo-restrictions you will have to let me know if anything is unavailable to you (either through Spotify or through the Youtube links I provide). SONG LISTAnthony Callea - Perfect Mistake Ben Hazlewood - Stay Tonight BT - Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved) (ft. JC Chasez) Casey Stratton - Blood Cassette Kids - Nothing On TV Celldweller - So Long Sentiment Chris Sorbello - Dangerzone Daniel Johns - Faithless Deni Hines - It's Alright Halestorm - Familiar Taste Of Poison Idina Menzel - Straw Into Gold Kaci Battaglia - Crazy Possessive KDrew - Tonight Loreen - My Heart Is Refusing Me Luke Kennedy - Skin & Scars Matt Bomer - Untitled (How Does It Feel) Matt Morris - Eternity Michael Paynter - Novocaine MILCK - Devil Devil Paris Hilton - High Off My Love (ft. Birdman) Paul Oakenfold - Faster Kill Pussycat (ft. Brittany Murphy) Ricki-Lee - Not Too Late Rob Thomas - Wonderful SYML - Where's My Love (Alternate Version) The Moody Blues - Blue World PLAY LIST* The radio edit of 'Faster Kill Pussycat' is not available on Spotify, at least not for me. * The version of 'Where's My Love' is the one I am familiar with; it is this version I wish you to rank. PREFERENCE REVEALERI will be setting a premilinary deadline for this rankdown at MONDAY, MAY 7TH at 11:59PM AUS EST, giving you just under 5 weeks to submit your rankings should you choose to. There will be periodic tags reminding you how long until deadline, should you wish to remain on the tags list. Please be advised that you are free to decline participation due to low familiarity with the material, however this is the entire point and I WILL sip copious amounts of tea for anyone who declines on these grounds. :sip2: :kii: If you wish not to be tagged, please let me know!

All Aussie material, gotcha.
Does the Anthony YT link I posted work? There IS a 'Lost' fanvid someone made using the song, but I'd prefer not to use that one if I have to and at the moment I can't provide my own upload to see if that works.

Ballot Update #1Featuring: Az Paynter, Chelsea Press 2 & DistrictTwelve
This fizzled out in the holiday madness, but I'm reviving it to try again - and since I already had a couple of lists why not kick-start the revival with a ballot update? Of course this update includes my own list, but thanks to Disco and DistrictTwelve for being the first responders!
- Starting at the top, and there have been two different #1 songs so far; obviously my list set the initial #1, and it remained at the top with Disco's list, but list #3 from DistrictTwelve sent another song to the top. Four points separate the top 2 at this early point, with a four point gap also between #2 and #3. - Three songs have been in every top 10 so far; two of which are the two songs to spend time at #1, and all three songs are the current top 3. - The top 6 have each broken 50 points, while the rest of the top 11 have reached 40+ points. With this few lists the margins are very narrow. - Three songs that began in the top 10 (from my list) are currently sitting outside of the top 10. - None of the songs currently in the bottom 5 have any top 10 rankings; but one song did end up as high as #11 on one list. - The current #25 doesn't actually have any bottom rankings, but one song that does have a bottom ranking is dangerously close to that position with only 1 point's difference between the bottom 2. - Said bottom two have less than 20 points so far. - The song currently with the highest standard deviation is currently sitting in the bottom 10. The song currently with the lowest standard deviation is the song currently in last place. - In what's kind of a surprise to me at least, four out of the current top 5 is material from AUS/NZ artists, while a further two Aussie songs are also in the current top 10. #TeamAUSSIE Let's see how they hold up when more lists come in...
There's a big four-way tie between #8 through #11, immediately followed up with a three-way tie between #12 through #14. #16 and #17 are also tied, as are #20 and #21.
If you wish not to be tagged, please let me know!
NEW DUE DATE HAS BEEN SET @ MARCH 5TH, 2018.

I want this to be a thing, which can't happen when it's been flushed out to the second page and beyond.
