When was the first
Readers Recommend column published?
-
What was the topic?
-
Who was the very
first person to contribute to a Readers Recommend
blog?
-
There was a mistake
made in the list of
songs named after
women. What was that mistake?
-
Although there is an
A-Z list and the writers declare they will not use
the same song twice, a number of songs were each used twice for two
different topics. What were the songs and what were
the topics?
-
The rule about the
same song not being used twice applies to covers as
well. So two different versions of the same song
will not be playlisted.
-
However, this did happen jnadvertently once because the cover had a different
title and a different tempo, which made it sound
like a different song rather than a cover. What were
the two songs and what playlists were they in?
-
It happened a second
time because of the topic and the writer said he
would consider covers. What were the songs and
topics on that occasion?
-
And it happened a
third time, again, perhaps not inadvertently as the
songs were A Listed within a few months of each
other. What were they?
-
How many artists have
made the Readers Recommend playlist five times or
more? And who are they?
-
It's not uncommon to
see two song recommendations by the same person make
a playlist but what is the most songs recommended by
one person that has made a playlist? There is a tie
in this category as there are two people who have
achieved this. Who are they and what were the
topics?
-
What was the first RR
column Maddy Costa wrote? (She was subbing for
Dorian Lynskey at the time.)
-
Although the idea of
a B List didn't really get going until 2007, Dorian
issued two B Lists in 2006. What topics were they
for?
-
The two B Lists in
2006 weren't the only alternative lists that year.
Dorian published three "Favorites" lists - that is
lists of the songs that were the most popular with
RR bloggers. What topics were those lists for?
-
A song that has made
the B List may someday make the A List for a
different topic but a song that has already made the
A List is usually dismissed for consideration for
future lists as "already zedded". However, on
a number of occasions, an A Listed song curiously made
the B List. What were the songs and what were the A
and subsequent B Lists they made?
-
There are a lot of
regular contributors to the RR blog and some have
had their recommendations A Listed many times. Who
are the top ten recommenders?
-
What is the longest
song title ever to make the A List?
-
How many pieces of
classical music have made the A List?
-
What is the most
number of different songs with the same title to
ever make an A List?
-
There have been many
related topics and topics that have overlapped, but
has the same topic ever been used more than once?
