ROUND 8
PLAYLISTS
In this challenge, you must create a playlist. Your goal is to meet my arbitrary requirements (or get as close to them as you can), but you only have 15 minutes. You will receive one point for each requirement that you satisfy. Additionally, you'll receive a point if no one satisfies a requirement, but you come the closest.
There are only two mandatory requirements (that is, if you don't meet them, you're disqualified from the challenge). You won't get points for satisfying these mandatory requirements. You'll notice that the requirements become more and more specific as you scroll down the list.
I know that most of these requirements aren't actually requirements, as you can not follow some of them and still have a valid playlist/do well in the challenge, but bear with me. I didn't want to call them "guidelines."
You probably won't be able to satisfy every requirement, so be strategic in picking ones to attempt to satisfy.
The five players with the highest point totals will receive prizes.

PM me your playlist by 6:45PM.
You don’t need to do any formatting, just send me your playlist like so:
My playlist
Artist 1 - Song 1
Artist 2 - Song 2
etc.
I will be on mobile during this challenge, and it will obviously take time to evaluate all of the playlists and determine prize winners, so look out for results later tonight.
I already know that this will confuse a lot of people, so feel free to ask me questions. I'll answer as quickly as I can.
