Weekly PMB CHR/POP Countdown | 2010 Thread

[Az Paynter]

New year, new thread.

After some thought, I have decided not to implement a recurrent rule (since Mediabase and radio in general is so unpredictable, it's hard to put together a set of rules for this chart that won't cut short songs which may take a while to take off on radio), and for the most part the previous system has worked pretty well for us.

What I will do, to try and keep votes up, is introduce a one-week holdover system for inconsistent voters. What this means is:

Week 1 - Poster X votes
Week 2 - Poster X does not vote, so I use X's votes from week 1 for this week only

If on week 3, poster X still does not vote, then no votes from poster X will be accounted for in that week's chart. If on week 3 poster X does vote, then their votes will be included in that week's chart as normal.

Right, hopefully that all made sense. And on we go!

^ No, what I meant was a recurrent rule for 'this' chart ;) It's hard to set a certain point for songs to go recurrent on the countdown when songs move at varying speeds on the chart. We're sticking to the system we were on last year.

[MOWE]

1.) Kesha- Tik Toc
2.) Kris Allen- Live Like We're Dying
3.) Lady GaGa- Bad Romance
4.) Boys Like Girls/Taylor Swift- Two Is Better Than One
5.) Rihanna- Hard

Sounds to me like a contradiction.
But anyway, I think it's unfair to ban a song from this countdown when it has been here for less than 20 weeks :(.

[Az Paynter]

I thought I was pretty clear...

I don't see it as banning; under the previous rules songs that went recurrent are no longer eligible. If songs are purged, then IMO they weren't popular enough to deserve sticking around on chart taking up space. Songs that get purged either have a large but brief wave of support or aren't really supported at large to begin with so I don't see the issue...
