It's time for the 2023 winter showdown!


64 tracks total and same rules as usual.


Rules:

1. Up to THREE nominations per person. Rank your picks on the off chance we have to cut any so your preferred one gets to stay for sure. I will let you know if we need additional songs and it will be on a first come first serve basis. You can have less than three if you prefer.

2. The song must be available on Youtube (potential leeway on this if you can provide something that is linkable, legal, free to access and won't go down during the course of the contest).

3. Please PM me your nomination with a link to the song

4. I reserve the right to reject a song if I think it is too universally adored. We want personal choices and the contest is as much about hearing new music as opposed to determining the best. A good guide is the rule of only songs with no wikipedia page. Possible exceptions to this due to wikipedia's oddities. I will also reject any songs that have previously been used in the showdown.

5. Please keep tracks limited to songs with view counts no bigger than single-digit millions on the most viewed video of the song. As long as the track complies with the other rules, I have no issue with tracks with higher view counts being submitted, but ten million and up increases the likelihood that others are familiar with the song. Keep a song's release date in mind--if the video just dropped last week and it has eight or nine million views, maybe forgo that one.

6. No songs from the top fifty of NHC's most recent top 100 albums list. This will help prevent anything too popular here at NHC from being part of the showdown.

7. Keep your nomination a secret, it makes it more fun at the end!


Please let me know in the thread if you plan on submitting songs. Please have your selections to me by 4pm eastern time on Sunday, January 22.

I've realised I didn't check the TV theme showdown dates before posting the thread, and I want to make sure everyone who wants to do both can do both. With that in mind, I'm going to extend the sign up time. There will be more time to sign up if you like to. There will be more time to submit your songs. And with this showdown starting slightly later it's hopefully easier on everyone who wants to do both.

The new deadline is 4pm eastern time on Sunday, January 22. I'll update the OP to reflect this. Thanks for bearing with me, folks!

I need fourth picks from everybody!

There is still time for ONE person to sign up with four picks. If no one else signs up or some are not able to submit fourth tracks then fifth tracks will be available on a first come first serve basis. I'll ask for them tomorrow if needed.

I am giving until tomorrow, Monday, at 3pm eastern time to submit fourth picks.
