New show: SLAY Rated

Post by **Slaygon** » 11/04/2005 - 14:17

We'd like to inform you of a new regular show, that will be broadcast the first Tuesday of every month. It's called "SLAY Rated" and runs down through the top 20 songs that have been rated by you, the listeners.

The first show will be hosted by DJ Skitz (of the Saturday Night Warmup) on April 12th 2005, from 20:00 CET (GMT+1). We know it's not the first Tuesday of the month, but we want to get started as soon as possible! As it's using the Top 20 Rated list, it's not a usual request show; however, the host will, as usual, be on IRC on the EFNet network, channel #SLAYRadio.

As mentioned, the list depends wholly on the listeners, and goes by the number of GOOD votes that each song has acquired. And that's where you come in! Whenever SLAY Radio is playing songs from the rotational playlist, you can go to the website (http://www.slayradio.org), and on the left hand side, you'll see the current song playing, along with a GOOD and BAD vote button. Just press the button that reflects what you think of the song, and the votes will be tallied up ready for the next SLAY Rated show.

So, make a date to listen to SLAY Rated, and keep your votes coming in order to shape future shows!

- The SLAY Radio Team.

That's a superb idea, young man. I'll be listening in on Tuesday for the first unveiling.

Give my love to Skitz.

How damnedly annoying! I missed the whole show!

Oh well, I hope it was full of fun and larks. The au pair was certainly full of something.

How will the rating system work?

I mean, if a track has like the best track now at 130 votes and a new mix comes along , how long can/will it takes til that new song comes close to the 20 most rated tracks?

Can one rate a track elsewhere than on the slay site when the actuall track is played?

everyone has to vote like crazy to come up to the 130 votes

Or do the rated show play any of the newest tracks and can be qualified to the list? as a runner-up

I thought the votes got wiped after every Slay Rated show

After each SLAY Rated, the votes are wiped (well, they are actually stored away safely, but aren't currently used), so right after a SLAY Rated, all votes are back to 0.
We do this to keep the list somewhat fresh. As it currently stands, the top 20 list is quite different from the top 20 last time around, which was only 3 weeks away.

Currently no. Haven't even given it a thought until you just said it. I'll ponder on it a while and see what I come up with, but as it stands now, you have to vote for the tracks on http://www.slayradio.org/.

So to answer the question you wanted to ask but never did - Yes, WOTEF4 will have a fair chance to make it to the top 20 provided people vote on it! Maybe not this time around due to the extensive voting going on (currently some 8500 votes since last SLAY Rated) before the release of your tune!
