iTUNES TOP 20 SONGS CHARTS

01.) Once a song wins, it cannot join in any other seasons except in special seasons like best of the year, best of the month, etc. (if there are)
02.) If a certain song cannot pass through the first three rounds in three consecutive seasons, and it is not in the top 5 of the real iTunes chart by that time, then it cannot join in any other seasons. The number beside the title of the song in the eliminated section marks the number of consecutive times that it has not passed the first three rounds. But, if a song didn't pass the first three rounds in one season, isn't in the top 20 in the next season/s, but reenters in another season, the mark will still be there.
03.) If, for example, say, it's season 5 and the winners of the first 3 seasons is still in the top 20, those in #21, #22, and #23 would be utilized to complete the set of 20. Also, if in the same situation, one song is automatically eliminated because of rule 2, then 4 new songs will be chosen. LOL. I can't understand myself.
04.) I'm using this one and its archives as source.
05.) In special rounds, NO MARKS ARE TO BE GIVEN.
06.) Songs that have entered the top 3 before will not be given any mark whatsoever or any chance to be auto-eliminated. Therefore, if you have entered the top 3 before and ended up eliminated in the first three rounds of another, you will not be given any mark.
07.) Editing your votes is allowed, UNLESS someone has already voted after that.
08.) If the thread starter hasn't updated in 36 hours, ANYONE can update it as long as it is how it always works.
09.) In case I only put, don't save the last song you saved last round, I always mean consecutively.

2014 EDIT: NEW YEAR, NEW RULES. This year we will be adding another twist to the game. Inspired by Roman's version of this, I have decided to add 3 RANDOM SONGS to the list from now on! We have our guidelines in choosing these songs:

1. The song must be in the current top 100.
2. Songs that have already hit the top 3 are disqualified.
3. Songs that have already joined the game before (both marked and unmarked) start with -1 points.
4. This is a one-time shot. Once a song have been selected, it can not be selected again for the next sets unless it's indeed eligible for the top 20 in the game.
5. If a song did not receive any votes in 5 random song rounds, it won't play anymore and can't be chosen anymore to play in the main game unless it breaks into the top 20.

And yes, I'm back. After my last flop thread, MIT 20, I am back with something more interesting and FOR ALL NATIONS, and this time around, using current hits, not hits from 2010 or so. The BEST OF iTUNES TOP 20 thread. So this musical chair uses the CURRENT TOP 20 OF THE iTUNES SONGS CHART. I repeat, CURRENT TOP 20 by the time this round starts. After this round is finished, I would look at the charts again, and SEASON 2 would be composed of the CURRENT TOP 20 BY THAT TIME, excluding, of course the winners of the previous seasons. And I will repeatedly do this till I get tired / till the world ends / till this gets closed, etc. etc.

Also, take note of these:
01. Once a song wins, it cannot join in any other seasons except in special seasons like best of the year, best of the month, etc. (if there are)
02. If, for example, say, it's season 4 and the winners of the past 3 seasons is still in the top 20, those in #21, #22, and #23 would be utilized to complete the set of 20.
03. If a certain song cannot pass through the first three rounds in three consecutive seasons, then it cannot join in another season.

PS - I have searched for threads here in the Games section with the keyword "iTunes" and I found five threads, all of which were dated around 2007 or so, and have a different idea from mine. So, I guess it's alright.

PS2 - This is my SECOND thread, as you might see. But the first one is a Personal Survivor which is, as explicitly stated in the rules, OK for more than once per thread starter. So, technically, this is my first thread.

PS3 - If you could suggest a way for this to become better, then please do suggest.
