No, we aren't going to rate every Platinum hit the RIAA has ever recorded. We all know Toxic or smth would win.

If you didn't know, Platinum Hit is a tournament-based game focusing on songwriting. Each week there is a new challenge or twist, and you have to write a song accordingly. While it can be quite frustrating, many have found it as a valuable experience in their cultivation of learning about the fundamentals of songwriting.

This rate is like any other rate, only the content was created by members just like you. Also, since this is a songwriting game, you won't be listening to full, completed songs -- rather, just the lyrics and perhaps the stories behind them. While you must have competed in one of the first nine seasons to submit songs, anyone can vote and participate in the rate. In fact, it's encouraged. My hope is that it will bring some new faces to the next season starting in November.

rules

Submissions:

1. You must have competed in Seasons 1-9 to submit a song.

2. You can submit up to five songs, but you're welcome to do less.

3. The songs you submit, of course, must have been used for Platinum Hit. Don't submit a new song and think I won't find out. (bc I probably wont). However, you have the option of submitting one "new" non-PH song if you wish to do so.

4. Submissions are due October 30th at 12AM EST.

5. As always, have fun. Ceremonials (song) was robbed of a top ten placement in Season 8 and I'm still pressed but don't let that ruin the fun for other people.

Voting:

1. You must vote for every song. It doesn't take that long to read the lyrics of a song and decide what you think of them, especially because there's no melodies, instrumentals, etc.

2. You can vote if you submit songs as well, but not for yourself.

3. You can guve THREE 11s and ONE 0. No sabotage.

4. Votes are due November 10th at 12AM EST.

5. Feel free to leave comments/your favorite lines along with your ratings. You are not obligated to do so.

You must PM me your submissions if you wish to participate in the rate. After you do so, they will be posted here and be available for voting.
