You and the E King go together like Irish Stew and soda bread. I'm not one to spread rumors, but the E King has his stew with beef instead of lamb, because like Clarice, he thinks about the screaming of the lambs.

Randall Cobb? That's a heck of a name for a character linked to on a football site.

Why is it so difficult to count to 31? Not enough fingers and toes?

This is me too - my list is once again fairly chalky and I finally doubled (and triple) upped on artist as I waited until late to submit.
I haven’t been following the thread too closely so not sure what to expect but thinking there will be a ton of new music (to me)

Based on Brock Purdy’s success, being Mr./Mrs. Irrelevant ain’t so bad.Zegras, Chaos, and OH still working on their lists. (I still hope Chaz will show up, too.) Who will be the last in?

Him: Sounds great this morning
Me: Always!

Just did a quick check of my 7 Australian artists and all but one all the members (or solo act) were born in Australia. The one that wasn't was a duo where one was from Australia and the other from New Zealand.Really curious how many of the 8 listed as Australia were actually born in Australia.Country Count:
Australia - 7
Canada - 3
France - 2
Sweden - 2
Nigeria - 2
Iceland - 1
South Korea - 1
New Zealand - 1
Norway - 1
UK/US - 6
UK/Zanzibar - 1
Australia/New Zealand - 1
US/Germany - 1
US/Australia - 1
UK/West Indies - 1
Decade Count
1970s - 3
1980s - 5
1990s - 1
2000s - 2
2010+ - 20
So so many like the Bee Gees, Ac/DC, Olivia Newton John etc were born in the UK. Ac/DC is various incarnations might have an aussie born or two. Didnt look it up.

I only have the last four lists that need to go through the initial processing, and I can say that the "favorite song" looks to be a very close two-song race. Once I have the song rankings finished, I'll post some stats. Artists will take a lot longer because of all the different spellings, abbreviations, "featuring," etc. Song titles were more accurate, though there were plenty of inconsistences, including one song that was chosen three times, with a different spelling each time.

Hey Krista, at my job, we equate "due by close of business on day N" to "due by open of business on day N+1". Any chance you might extend contest deadlines to be prior to when you post the last 5 out tomorrow? I hope to get mine in by tonight, just thinking it might be helpful to someone.

I'd intended to reply to this, and it doesn't matter for other people's lists now, but just in case, purely hypothetically
, a song from Trafalgar comes up in the following days, that album also qualified because they still had the Aussie drummer.

Yes, that's fine. My stated deadline was 11:59 pm PDT tonight, but I mentioned in a post yesterday that I will take lists through sometime tomorrow. That's why I said "tonight-ish" above - previously stated deadline is preferable but not a hard and fast rule.

Going to share some tidbits I notice along the way as I'm calculating winners.
We have a song winner! It turned out to be a two-horse race, and the final vote was very close. We have two ties within the top 10(!), with nine different artists represented.
One of our artists has no songs within the top 10, but five within #11-25, including three that ended up in an exact tie.
Our Ace Award winner had a nice showing within the top 20 songs.
One artist has a strong top-10 showing with a particular song, but then no more than one vote for any other of their large number of selections.
