Can I start the song contest? Not yet. I want to give people a few more days to be able to register... although, with the latest addition of Courage, we now have 13 people. I'm gonna let the people decide - should we wait and get more people or is 13 enough? 13 is plenty

Quick question. Do they have to be recent songs or can they be songs from any era?

Those were singles so not eligible. Plus, when it comes time, you'll have to PM the songs in.

In all seriousness though @whoselinefan those songs are ineligible as both of them charted, and in response to Pipa, if it was a single but did not make any charts, then you can submit it. For example, even though Christina Aguilera's "Bionic" wasn't a single, it charted on the Hot 100 and is therefore ineligible. However, Jefferson Starship's 1981 smash "Stairway To Cleveland", despite being a single, is eligible as it did not make any charts. I will do what Jason did last time and research each song so I know you guys aren't cheating

No, sorry "Set The Night To Music" peaked at #9 on the AC chart and "We Built This City", of course, was an iconic #1 smash - songs that made ANY charts are not eligible. Also, once the contest begins you are going to PM me your one song submission, then once I post everyone's songs you will rank them from favorite to least favorite, not including your own submission, and then the following week or whenever I get all of the votes, I will reveal who submitted each song and who gets eliminated (the person whose song got the least amount of points). If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Does 'any' chart mean any chart in the world, e.g. a song that charted in latvia but bombed elsewhere can't be submitted?

Last year someone submitted Lana Del Rey's "Dark Paradise", which caused some controversy as it charted in Austria, Germany, Poland, and Switzerland, so I want to prevent that from happening again.

What if it charts in a dependency or overseas territory, but not on an official country chart? Like what if I submit something that only charted in American Samoa or New Caledonia ?
