I’m nearly ready but now I’m concerned… How many 10’s are too many 10’s?
I mean, the song list is huge and it contains a lot of really great material, so I don't really see any issue with giving a lot of 10s.
I will say that as we get closer to the end of the rate, you might suddenly find that you in fact can parse a difference and a preference between your forty 10s. Only one song can win. Which ones would you be happy that your score assisted in doing that? I would encourage being as discerning as possible.
Honestly this is true, but at the same time like 97% of these songs have zero chance of winning anyway, so realistically the only difference giving them a 10 or downgrading to a 9 might actually make is whether they finish at #37/#72/#125 or #39/#73/#128. But of course nobody should be giving perfect scores to anything they don't truly love/want to see perform as well as possible.

Don't forget about your 9.25s, 9.5s and 9.75s!

You two are talking about me, aren't you?Maricón.

I gave thirty six 10s and an 11. I regret nothing.
Any/All
This is a great tip! I narrowed down my initial twenty five 10s to maybe like ten. I didn't want to use 0.25 points at first but it did help discerning the tracks I would love to see ranking high from the ones I like but don't find as strong.
Cowboy Carter might have my best scores overall, though I did have to take some points off for that autopilot Post Malone collab and filler one-minute tracks. Those TTPD scores though... yikes. I'm considering one of the tracks for my 11, but then there's a handful that I struggled to give 2s to. What a messy hard drive dump of an album - still, its highlights hold up to the rest of the rate. Chappell's is pretty uneven as well, though shorter and far less... tortured. What a selection of albums tho! It feels colorful, vibrant and even though I don't enjoy all of them they all add so much to the rate and 2024 pop music.
In fact, I've done all of the scores except my 11 and I will send them in soon. Might just give it to Taste (deserved).

People who can discern what to them is a 9.75 vs a 9.5 or a 9.25 — good for you I guess ddd.
Other people were sharing their thoughts on scoring methods, I thought I’d share mine.
My thoughts were just that I wanted the ranking process to have a bit of killing my darlings- if I wanted to give something a 10, I had to be able to confidently give it one of the four 10s available. If I couldn’t make that argument, then down it went to 9.75 and the evaluation process starts over. It’s almost certainly a bit neurotic, but it’s the process that results in a ballot I feel satisfied with.
