| FoolFantastic 04/18/24 11:04:45 AM #1: | The theme for the next set is albums by artists outside the core Anglosphere countries.
This means no albums by artists born/raised in these countries: Australia Canada New Zealand United Kingdom United States The album can still be in English, since plenty of people outside the Anglosphere perform in English for a variety of reasons. The reason for this week is simply the fact most successful music comes from these countries - 2,714 of the top 3,000 albums on Acclaimed Music are from here! Obviously, the majority of this is the USA and UK, but even Canada and Australia both have more albums than any other country. Here's a breakdown of the countries I noticed with 10 or more albums in that list: USA: 1,750 UK: 792 Canada: 110 Australia: 56 Germany: 52 France: 44 Jamaica: 32 Ireland: 30 Brazil: 27 Sweden: 16 Spain: 15 Iceland: 13 (New Zealand only has six, but alas - we also already covered the big one) Previous results can be seen here: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_2 https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_3 https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks_Set_4 The rules: 1. Listen to the album in full 2. Rank every track on the album 3. For the results, there will be a curve at the top of each list; two additional points between #1 and #2, and one additional point for the next two ranks. This way, the songs that really stick out to someone get an edge that is not immediately negated by someone else putting it lower. In the case of Demon Days, someone's 15th track will get 1 point, 14th 2 points, 4th 12 points, 3rd 14 points, 2nd 16 points, and 1st 19 points. For albums with greater than 15 tracks, everything ranked below #15 will be given 0 points and the scale for the top 15 will be the same as a 15-track album. For albums with more than 20 tracks, you only have to list your top 15 (with 16-20, I still like having the average rank listed) 4. If you want to include comments for individual songs, I will compile them in the results 5. The results will be posted at the beginning of the next topic 6. The deadline to vote is Thursday, April 25th at 8:00 AM Central Time; If you do get in a vote after the deadline but before I post the results, I will probably include it. 7. Every few weeks, a nomination period will open; there may or may not be a theme. Each user can nominate one album. The following week, everyone will be able to rank their top ~5 among the choices - this will use a bottom-up scoring approach, i.e. voting for one album will give your #1 a single point, voting for five will give your #1 five points, so it is always better to vote for the maximum number of albums. The top ~5 will then be covered. 8. Skits and tracks under 40 seconds will be excluded from the rankings unless argued otherwise The Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop track list: 1. Tank! 2. Rush 3. Spokey Dokey 4. Bad Dog No Biscuits 5. Cat Blues 6. Cosmos 7. Space Lion 8. Waltz for Zizi 9. Piano Black 10. Pot City 11. Too Good Too Bad 12. Car 24 13. The Egg and I 14. Felt Tip Pen 15. Rain 16. Digging My Potato 17.
