so that would boot out like, 15 songs, give or take? what's the #92 result look like in terms of votes and such?
there'd definitely a strategic element to this, for example "Music is Worth Living For" was not my favorite song on the AWK album but I ranked it higher b/c I knew it was more likely to place than say, "Break the Curse"

I almost never have any tracks/albums overlap, but I made a couple exceptions this year
― resident hack (Simon H.), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:35 (five years ago) link
xpI mean I wouldn't personally do that, I was just thinking of hypotheticals. I am genuinely confused by people who see two tracks by one artist place and think "I hope [track #3] places too"

I never vote for tracks that appear on albums I vote for, but that's me.― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, January 29, 2019 1:34 PM (one minute ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

iirc, the Lex was a stickler for this, too

OK, this Talaboman track is great, I'm a sucker for things that should be boring but somehow never stop growing on me for 11 minutes (the repeated ping in this case)

I don't like loads of repetition of acts but I'd dislike popular tracks getting the boot more.

also, refusing to vote for tracks by an artist you've voted for in the albums poll is insanity imo

I use the lex/Alfred rule as a way to cut down my tracks ballot, but I always end up making a couple of exceptions

i mean, i did tbf cut tropical fuck storm and daphne & celeste out of my tracks ballot because i'm more invested in the album as a whole, but there were some artists where i just could not avoid voting for them in both polls and to do so would have defied my year in music

If you're voting for 10 tracks by the same artist, may I interest you in the albums poll?
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:47 (five years ago) link
I'll start a poll once both rollouts are done. let's reconvene on the subject then

album is solid! I always like when seemingly flash-in-the-pan acts turn out to have some longevity

If only the highest song places and the others are disqualified I don't see how it resolves vote-splitting.If there's no consensus that's it. Placing several songs is actually a good sign.+1 at not voting for album tracks being madness.Every time I come back to this thread and press on "skipping...", I automatically land on Andrew WK giving me thumbs up :s
― Nabozo, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:10 (five years ago) link
Hop Along was my #2, super happy to see it place
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:13 (five years ago) link
I think the only way to artificially reduce track possibilities is through nominations: don't give 40 nominations per user, force them to be disciplined.

top three for today is something like (having not heard Autechre but I can tell what kind of thing it is and it'll be a fine from me n' all):
46: Mr. Twin Sister – “Jaipur”54: Talaboman – “Dins El Llit (Superpitcher Remix)”60: Cardi B featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin – “I Like It”
Worst had to be Smoko. Sounded like lj was responsible for this?
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:26 (five years ago) link
would have still made the 77 without my 6 points
― imago, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:27 (five years ago) link
I like that Hop Along song but voted for "Somewhere a Judge" instead.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:27 (five years ago) link
I would definitely support curtailing nominations to max of 20 overall or fewer.
If an album has 5+ nominations, you could do a short poll to narrow it down to 1 or 2.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:28 (five years ago) link
I’m opposed to this curating/curtailing of nominations. Let a thousand flowers bloom (or wither, whatever the case may be).
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:32 (five years ago) link
Reducing individual nominations won't reduce vote-splitting. It will make it a lot harder for people like me, who can't rely on anyone else to nominate things they like.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:33 (five years ago) link
lol yeah this is gonna be the 4th year in the row where either 0 or 1 of my song choices make it :)
