Welcome to ATRL's Best of 2016! It's the most wonderful time of the year, and it's time for you to give us your best.
What is ATRL’s Best of?
All year long, you're invited to share your favorite music over in the Your Top Ten forum. But at the end of the year, the focus turns to the best music of the entire year, according to you.
Guidelines for Best of 2016
1. It's your countdown
You get
one thread per year; that's it.
No one else gets to
vote on your countdown, period. Your thread is all about
you.
2. Start with an intro
Use your
first post to tell us what you're going to do. Will you list your top songs, singles, videos, albums, artists, concerts, TV shows, movies, video games, whatever? It's all up to you.
Let us know first, and get into the actual list later.
3. Don't post all at once
The most important part! You want to post your countdown(s) in
installments over the
span of about 2 to 3 weeks. For example, if you have one list of 50 songs, post it in daily blocks of 5 or so. The suspense makes things interesting.
4. Use words, pictures
Nobody cares about your list if you don't tell us why you chose what you chose.
Describe every item on your list with at least a full sentence. If you add
pictures and graphics, that's even better.
5. Actively participate
We encourage you to support each other. Reply with your
comments or anything else to let them know you're reading.
You can't just post "7/10" or whatever. Tell them what you liked!
Be supportive and have fun.
6. Limited time only
This year, the Best of 2016 forum will be open and fully promoted until
Wednesday, January 4, 2017. You must finish your entire countdown before that date, because the Best of 2016 forum will close for posting.
Now, it's your turn.
Start posting!
