OK, Wave 1 complete - now to begin the second round of listenings with a full head of steam and put the initial rankings together. It was funny coming across songs that I ranked last year that I think were submitted by the same people - which is partially on me because I didn't have a digital copy of last year's list handy.
I am pretty uncertain about most of the rankings at this stage, but there are 2 songs that have pretty clearly separated themselves on the lower end of the spectrum (still better than being boring......maybe) and 1 song that is the early favorite to top the list - one of the few nominees that I immediately had to listen to again, and in fact ended up listening to four times in a row. Of course, nothing is set in stone yet as I'll still be listening to each song twice more before finalizing the rankings, so a lot can happen!
OK that's the update for now & thank you for your bumping :D
