Post by Troy on Dec 22, 2019 9:09:36 GMT -5
It's that time of year again. Time to look back over the past 12 months. And to reflect on all of the great music of this past year. This will be the FIFTH ANNUAL Pulse Official Best-Of Rock Songs list.
So, now let's go over...
The Rules:
Pick your favorite rock songs of the year & then order & number them from 1 to no more than 200 & no less than 10 (you can sumbit a list of any length between 10 & 200). This list is about ROCK songs, so if something is obviously not even tangentially related to either Active, Alternative or AAA, then please do not include it. There are quite a few songs that can straddle the line, so i will give some leniency. The basic rule is that 60% of your list must include songs by artists that have charted on one of the 3 formats listed above (Billboard or Mediabase). The song itself didn't have to chart, but the artist must have appeared on the chart at least once. Also, I will enforce the 60% rule on the upper half of your list as well, that way you don't send 100 songs with the top 40 being all country, rap, dance, etc, while reserving the bottom 60 for your rock songs - that is NOT allowed.
The Songs:
OK, now you know about the artists you can choose from, but as far as the actual songs, they do not need to be official singles, they do not need to have even been released in the US or any particular country. You may choose singles, promos, b-sides, deep album tracks, internet-only, rare, obscure...it really doesn't matter. I do ask that you choose only songs from this year. Now, you say that there were songs from 2018 that you only found out about this year or too late to make last year's list? - that's fine. You say there was a song from 2001 that you just discovered this year - nope, that is not allowed. And finally, you may not use any songs that were in the top half of LAST YEAR's LIST - found in Daryl's post below! So if a song was somewhere from 1 to 100, it is ineligible to repeat, but as a compromise, we are going to allow songs that were in the lower half another chance (but only if they were popular with you THIS year). Once we receive all of your lists, we will calculate the top rock songs & top rock artists of 2019 and reveal them here shorly after.

The Deadline:
I'm a believer that when you say 2019 that you really mean 2019 (January to December) & NOT November thru October or any BS like that. So, in order to have the full month of December to consider each song, the deadline for submitting your list for this year-end best-of will beMidnight PT sometime on Saturday 1/4/2020. We will then start the reveals the following weekend.
OK, now that we have that out of the way, it's time for the fun part. Start looking over your weekly/monthly lists, give the songs another listen, calculate, reconsider, shift up & down & then reorganize until you feel your list fully represents your favorite rock songs of the past year. Then PM your lists to me (I'd prefer you send songs in one message & albums in a different message) before the deadline (remember if you paste into the "BBCode" tab that it will prevent lines from being inserted between each song - so that would be greatly appreciated). And, we'll take care of all of the hard stuff like putting all of your songs into Excel, writing the formulas & calculating the final rankings.
So, now let's go over...
The Rules:
Pick your favorite rock songs of the year & then order & number them from 1 to no more than 200 & no less than 10 (you can sumbit a list of any length between 10 & 200).
