The voting format is the same as in the Countdown International, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points: the highest number of points for the song you like best, the lowest number of points to the song you like least. Just send a message or post a comment with your votes.
If you have enough free time, go ahead and write the reasons that you like and dislike particular songs, or parts of songs
(but only if you want to).
Suggestions for future pre-selections are also very welcome.
