This is a tournament idea I started working when I was doing the Top Hot 100 Songwriters of All Time list. The songwriters for the top 5 songs from each round get to advance a new song to the next round. Round 5's top 5 were Eleanor Rigby, Emotions, Kiss, Life On Mars? and Little Lies so their songwriters get to place songs in round 6. Songwriters that fail to make the top 5 will eventually get a second chance but not until at least a few rounds later. That's why there are songs by songwriters that almost made the five in earlier rounds (Stargate, U2 and Holland-Dozier-Holland). ROUND 6 - Due June 5, 6pm EST Rank these songs 1 to 20 from best to worst and PM me the list. 1999 - Prince (writers: Prince) (They Long To Be) Close To You - The Carpenters (writers: Hal David, Burt Bacharach) Cloudbusting - Kate Bush (writers: Kate Bush) Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac (writers: Christine McVie) Faith - George Michael (writers: George Michael) Fallin' - Alicia Keys (writers: Alicia Keys) God Only Knows - The Beach Boys (writers: Brian Wilson, Tony Asher) I Can't Be Satisfied - Muddy Waters (writers: Muddy Waters) Let It Be - The Beatles (writers: John Lennon, Paul McCartney) Mariners Apartment Complex - Lana Del Rey (writers: Lana Del Rey, Jack Antonoff) Never Going Back Again - Fleetwood Mac (writers: Lindsey Buckingham) Reach Out I'll Be There - Four Tops (writers: Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland) So Sick - Ne-Yo (writers: Ne-Yo, M.S. Eriksen, T.E. Hermansen) Starman - David Bowie (writers: David Bowie) Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2 (writers: Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr.) The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash (writers: Johnny Cash) The Next Episode - Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg, Kurupt & Nate Dogg (writers: Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Hittman, Mel-Man, David Axelrod) Together Again - Janet Jackson (writers: Janet Jackson, Terry Lewis, Jimmy Jam Harris III) Vision of Love - Mariah Carey (writers: Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies) When I Come Around - Green Day (writers: Billy Joe Armstrong, TrΓ© Cool, Mike Dirnt) Round 6 Spotify PlaylistPast RoundsRound 1 Round 2 Round 3Round 4Round 5

this one's a lot less top heavy with overall solid songs. My #19 here would've made my top ten in Round 4.

I haven't entered the submissions yet but at a glance it looks like this is going to be a pretty chaotic RD as people are having a hard time deciding what are the weakest/strongest songs. There's a couple songs a lot of people are rallying around but otherwise it seems pretty all over the place.

Sent. Won't be surprised if I have the worst closeness this time. I hope that Prince is not the winner, 1999 has burnt on me after hearing it on 80s radio so much lately.

Thanks everyone for your submissions, this is the round with the most participants so far (19)! samoπ¦ aerodynamite .indulgecountry kierz7 π‘πππππ€ jtd Thee Stallion willapted33 @snapculture alexcuse @crapkuki23 singingrulebritannia BBπ marsblyr ampitup98 fearlessarrow @slipperyslope eidde weaver The first set of reveals will begin in an hour or two. This is an interesting round because there was a lot of disagreement on what the best songs were. The rankdown winner has by far the lowest average of the six rounds so far. Pre-reveal questions 1. The two songs with the most #1 ranks both missed the top 5. In fact, one of them even missed the top 10. Any ideas on what those two songs might be? 2. What song do you think will win? What song do you think will get eliminated first? 3. Did you have any favorite discoveries? (don't give the name of the song, just what you ranked it)

Well I knew the Carpenters were getting screwed over anyways since AC-type stuff tends to not be well-received here but I grew up with their music and β(They Long To Be) Close to Youβ is one of their best.
