I'm surprised by some of the big pop names that are missing: No Gwen, Justin or Nelly Furtado? No MJ?! But it's a good list. I'm excited by the genre diversity and a lot of smaller indie acts that made it in.

I know! I already had my top four picked out and everything. But the votes were not there.

Who knew the votes would be there for Selena Gomez, though? Quite surprising.

And thank you all for no Lana Del Ray. That would have been the nail in the coffin for me.

I'll be back to post who's playing in week one.

There you have it. A LOT of new blood, and thankfully not an Avril Lavigne in sight.

Or, and before Monkey's vote, Katy had been paid dust by all of you. Good job. I salute you.

But Selena?

Ah, gotcha. Honestly? She's more into UK pop as a whole (particularly the Sugas, Girls Aloud and Atomic Kitten), but she also has her fair share of US pop likes (particularly Britney and Mariah).

EDIT:

And the best part of all? No BEP.

We have similar tastes.

We have a very interesting group ahead of for next week, which will start SUNDAY.

the ten artists playing in week one are:

Portishead
Daft Punk
M.I.A.
(ineligible: Bucky Done Gun)
The Cranberries
(ineligible: Linger, Dreams, Ode to My Family)
Nicola Roberts
Destiny's Child
(ineligible: Bills, Bills, Bills)
Weezer
(ineligible: Buddy Holly, Say It Ain't So)
Kelis
(ineligible: Milkshake)
Jon McLaughlin

Remember, you can vote for anything the artists has released in the last twenty two years except the songs marked ineligible.

Here's how you play:

For each artist that you choose to submit for (you only vote for artists you feel comfortable with), you send me a PM of your favorite four songs, ranked.

EX:

Destiny's Child
1. So Good
2. Love
3. T-Shirt
4. Fancy

Got it? All PMs due by SATURDAY.

Wilkes

So we can crack on?

Why are some songs ineligible?

fiercE

I guess I'm the only one who can send for Jon McLaughlin XD

If we ranked, what song are you going to use first, the 4th one or the 1st one?

@michael

Choosing 4 M.I.A. songs is so hard

Kang.

Just sent my list, though I feel kind of bad that most of my picks are singles- I don't know most of these artists' album tracks.

And I'm also curious why some of these tracks are ineligible.

Monk

I am only comfortable with sending a list in for one artist.

The ineligible tracks played one or both of the last two games, hence their ineligibility. Want to give something fresh to you all!

Probably the top rank. It's worked thus far, right?

Should I keep doing it like this - or should I reveal who will be playing in every week of the first round, letting you all send top fours for everyone you're interested in?

Kang.

I think it would be good to announce who's playing when now, as long as you already know. It would give everyone time to get into the artists' catalogs. We don't even half to do the top fours until it's time for the rounds, it'll just be good to be prepared for each week,

Okay.

I'll reveal each week one by one.

Give me ten minutes and I'll reveal week two.

Kang.

Do you have them ready? Or did I miss them somewhere else? Just wondering.
