Hi- I have a question regarding the reserved list. It says that the final artists for the reserved songs have not been selected yet, which makes it sound like we still have a chance at those songs, but how will you know I'm interested in those songs if I'm unable to indicate my interest by selecting them?
Well, basically we’re just asking that not everyone go for those songs! We’ve been seeing a bit of a problem since the first few entries onward, where people tend to all pick one song, and no one picks other songs.
Basically, once we’ve gotten a certain amount of entries stating their interest in a song (around 10 or so), we figure one of them is bound to get the position. Since only one artist will be drawing for each track, we want to make sure we don’t have to turn too many people away just because they all wanted the same song.
Basically, we’re trying to increase your chances to get a song you know you’ll like, since otherwise the leftover songs would have to be split between those who didn’t vote for them. I hope that makes sense!
