Maybe we could extend it to a Top 50 if people start doing a Top 25!

[jvandyck87]

I will respond as if you're being facetious, which given the internet communication barrier, I'm only 99% certain of:

People are already doing the work to enter 10, and he had said he was going to potentially change it to a top 20. Between alternative and active rock, there are a LOT of singles to choose from so I feel like it makes sense to go to 10 individually for 20 overall spots. It's a nice round number.

And I think it's very possible that people have 10 current songs that they want to stand behind liking right now, but probably not 25. I think the expansion from 5 to 10 was good because I felt like I was leaving out a lot of good singles every week. Once people start trying to find 25 songs, I'd probably have a lot of mid B-range songs on my countdown. Top 10 would probably be B+/A- at the worst.

[pen]

I totally misread your post and was thus being sarcastic, but now I understand what you really meant and therefore I just look like a dick. Well, I would've looked like a dick anyway, but now there's no reason for it.

[jvandyck87]

It's cool. I figured that in your heart, you were on my side anyway.

2. Jimmy Eat World "Coffee and Cigarettes"[/size]
2. Linkin Park "Waiting for the End"
4. Jimmy Eat World "My Best Theory"[/size]
5. Bruno Mars "Grenade"[/size]
3. Social Distortion "Machine Gun Blues"
4. The Black Keys "Howlin' for You"
8. Ke$ha feat. 3OH!3 "Blah Blah Blah"[/size]
9. Ke$ha "Blow"[/size]
10. Against Me! "Because of the Shame"[/size]
11. Ke$ha "We R Who We R"[/size]
5. Cee Lo Green "F*ck You"

6. The Black Keys "Tighten Up"
7. My Chemical Romance "Sing"
8. The National "Terrible Love"
9. Arcade Fire "Ready to Start"
10. Florence + the Machine "Dog Days Are Over"

To illustrate how weak my enthusiasm for my chart/current music is, I assumed Ke$ha's songs would take a mighty tumble this week. Not, y'know, climb. There's no reason "Welcome to the Family" should've spent any more than 8 weeks at #1. (It's currently at week 13.) Honestly, the majority of my Top 40 (+20 contenders) is practically begging to be taken over. Sadly, that's unlikely to happen.

[crash46]

The problem with the expansion is that I have so many ineligible songs still near the top of my chart. And I don't think that's my fault. I mean, our #1 song is on purge alert as we speak.

1. Avenged Sevenfold - "Welcome To The Family"
2. Fitz and the Tantrums - "MoneyGrabber"
3. AWOLNATION - "Sail"
4. Mumford and Sons - "The Cave"
5. The Naked and Famous - "Young Blood"
6. My Chemical Romance - "Sing"
7. Middle Class Rut - "New Low"
8. Muse - "Undisclosed Desires"
9. Social Distortion - "Machine Gun Blues"
10. Cee Lo Green - "F*** You"

6. Foo Fighters - Rope
7. Rev Theory - Justice
8. The Black Keys - Howlin' for You
9. Adele - Rolling In The Deep
10. Rise Against - Help Is On the Way

[Devin]

I will definitely make a Top 20 next week, maybe even more spots, with changes in number of votes, like a bullet
Sorry, I forgot to make a Top 20 last week, because I was waaaay too tired and had other things to do.

Three Days Grace also blast up into the Top 5 with "Lost in You." Foo Fighter's new track "Rope" ties into the #8 spot as the top debut, while Apocalyptica re-enter in the Top 10 at #10. Since the chart expanded to 20 spots this week, there are three new debuts and one re-entry, being "Hold Me Down" (#17), "Pumped Up Kicks" (#18), "Diamond Eyes..." (#19, re-entry), and Social distortion (#20). The #1 song has 37 points this week, the Top 5 has 29+ points, the Top 10 has 22+ points, and the Top 20 has 15+ points.

No time to make my chart until three days late this week. Definitely some much needed upheaval, though. Just concerned that with so little new music actually resonating with me in a lasting way, that my chart will largely continue to be a revolving door of mostly older songs I build up before seeing particular concerts, and songs from CDs I casually listen to in the car.
