Neither deserve to be here so not voting
yup. how does this competition get formulated? an tha?
From the original thread that launched it:
OK so - a bit of fun...putting it in here rather than tournament/general area to start off with as this section gets more traffic/views.
Going to run a best act tournament.
24 acts will compete and the structure is as follows.
The Top 20 acts from the website besteveralbums.com top artists chart will line up with 4 wildcard acts to be selected via nominations here.
The Top 8 from the besteveralbums.com websbite top artists chart will be the "seeds" and will start in Round 2.
The artists ranked 9-20 in that list and the 4 wildcard acts will start in Round 1 with the winners of those 8 match ups joining the 8 seeds in Round 2.
The top-ranked artists that appear most prominently in over 49,000 greatest album charts on BestEverAlbums.com make up their top artists list.
