    I hope it's not a spoiler to innocently remark that my list of scores looks nothing at like the host's! :D

    Aye, very little commonality with mine either... ;)

    Like this

    so if you're top choice = necro's top choice you get 12?

    and if your 10th choice = necro's 10th you get 1 point?

    No. You're not trying to match with Necro. Your top choice gets 12 points no matter what.

    Only the songs score points, we don't. Safe to say no one wins ;)

    No, everyone just ranks their favourites according to preference and the scores for each song get added up, like Eurovision.

    There's no competition amongst the voters as such, it's the songs that are competing rather than the voters.

    Of course you could run something afterwards, like find out whose preference is closest to the overall result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,072 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Not a fan of that Eminem song, really like this one

    Eminem still leads, but only by 4 points as The Boss regains some ground.

    At the bottom, Muse are the only song not to score any points at this early stage. Loads of time for that to change though before Molly loses her sh1t :pac:

    That Adele song freaks me out, it's full on stalker
    Old friend, why are you so shy?
    Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
    I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
    But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
    I had hoped you'd see my face
    And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
    If that was sung by a bloke he'd be given a restraining order
