I realized I haven't got any more 10s because I tried not to give high scores to the biggest hits because it was obvious they were gonna be placed high. Looks like I failed.

I will never get this kind of tactics. I mean, if I love a song I will rate it a 10 or something close. Why would I rate it less because I believe that many others will also rate it high? I get that there are certain songs you wanted to see above the #1 singles but why not rate those songs higher than the singles? Or just rate every song the way you feel and see how it falls in the end. That is what the rate is about: seeing how all tastes put together will look like.

If I ever participate in a rate again, I will only hand out 0s, 5s and 10s. Obviously that's the only spectre many ATRLers know (not meant towards you directly, though).

I think it has the most 10s in the rate. I looked at most of the remaining songs and don't think any of them have over 35

I even gave it a 10 which I still can't recall...

For the first rate I ever took part in, my lowest score was like a 7 I soon realized that people don't really utilize the 0-10 scale, where 0 is unlistenable. Especially considering how a song out today got a low score of 0, and even with some lessors in the mix still, NOTHING deserves a 0. I don't really adapt to the ATRL rate system though. I still rate things fairly using the full scale

I did what I said but I did not sabotage anything! I just slightly lowered my votes for most of what's left, like from a 10 to a 9, or similar, because I would've liked for some tracks or lesser known singles to have a bigger chance to be in the spotlight. I didn't even give any zero. My lowest score was probably a 4 or 4.5

Sometimes if I feel a song I really like will get dragged, I may be inclined to boost its score a bit, but that's it.

[conatus]

That's why I gave Say Somethin' my 11 over My All. I think I prefer My All just a bit, but I decided Say Somethin' was more deserving of help.

OMG, we're live in 10 minutes I'M SCARED!

Yup, now that I have calmed down a bit I think I won't adapt either. I think my lowest scores were around 5 or something and that was for a few songs I really don't care for.

Yeah, sorry if I went off a bit It was not directed at you but rather at the general situation


ANYWAY, now that I have this off my chest, I am thrilled to see how things keep rolling in here!

The contenders were My All, Say Somethin', Stay The Night, and Honey.

If I had known how much CharmbraceLORD was going to be butchered I would have given my 11 to a Charmbracelet track.

[feelslikeadream]

Wait, why did It's A Wrap get nominated for Best Lyrics?

Don't worry, I worded it badly myself

True, but I was staying hopeful. It deserved better.
