My apologies for the lack of updates. This long of a layoff was not the intent, but the usual suspects (Red laziness and school being a pain in the ass) have prevented me from unleashing what I HOPE will be the last countdown that I will ever need to make. As I hinted at in my last post, I've been thinking about creating a countdown that will allow for no restrictions, allowing for songs from all genres to make my countdown. I've been updating the countdown for five weeks now, but the main reason you guys have not seen a countdown yet is because, admittedly, the countdown is still a work-in-progress. Why? Well, two reasons:
1) The layout for this countdown is extremely tricky, with there being 40 songs and all.
2) I'm experimenting with possibly making a website for the countdown as well as posting it here...and maybe a weekly YouTube video, if I have the time to put together such a video again.
I can say that I am closer to making this whole top 40 a reality than ever before, but it's still not QUITE ready to be posted. But, as a sneak preview (and probably the last countdown-related post in this thread, as there will, certainly, be a new thread for the new countdown), here is a sneak preview of the latest (and hopefully last) Red countdown...
