OK. Not a great deal of interest in this so far - but I've started so I'll finish. It might be as disasterous flop - but I guess that is in your hands!

TO PLAY THE GAME HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO:

1. Check out the list of tracks released in 1988 that have been accumlated below:

HTML List: http://familyofnoise.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/pop-quiz-1988-shortlist.html

Spotify Playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/digitaltenderness/playlist/0GBYTtbDFlnaKrh5jdQFNn

2. Use this list as a guide to predict what you think will be the Top 20 songs of the year, as accumulated by other DiS Music Board quizzers. You can choose other songs if you want.

3. Send me your predictions in a private note for the Top 20 tracks as follows:

Artist - Track
Artist - Track
Artist - Track
.....

Where the first track in the list is your choosen number 1, and the last is number 20.

DO NOT POST YOUR TOP 20 LISTS IN THIS THREAD

4. I will compile all of your lists into a Top 20, and then, in about a weeks time, I'll publish the results, in a top 20 countdown.

Points will be awarded as follows:
1pt if you have chosen a song in your Top 20 that also appears in the accumulative Top 20.
3pts if you have chosen a song in your Top 20 that appears in the same position in the accumulative Top 20.
Bonus 1pt if you successfully predict the Number 3 placed song.
Bonus 2pts if you successfully predict the Number 2 placed song.
Bonus 3pts if you successfully predict the Number 1 placed song.

The aim of the game, obviously, is to try and predict what the most popular tracks will be, and earn points if you are correct.
