Same rules as the other polls. EPs count if they're both under five tracks and 20 minutes. Single discographies can generally be found on Rateyourmusic.com. If it's there it counts, if it's not it probably doesn't, however with this period, single status starts to get kinda sketchy, so a song basically counts as a single if: 1. It's listed as an actually released single on a reliable website (RYM, Discogs, etc.) 2. It has a specifically commissioned music video (not counting edited live clips, vids from albums where each song had a vid, etc) 3. It charted in either the US or UK charts (including US sub-charts) 4. It was made exclusively available as an individual track on the internet (mashups, blog phenomenons, etc) That should cover it, I think.

That should cover it, I think.

What about things like mashups, and other Interweb phenomena? A lot of the great ones were never "released," officially, but they reached listeners every bit as emphatically as something pressed up and distributed to stores.

Stipulation #3 covers a lot of ground, considering all the great non-singles that made noise on the Modern Rock chart and such. Goody.

[The Good Dr Bill]

good point. Edited.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

Gee, my list of possible singles list contenders is fucking enormous compared to that of previous decade polls. So far, the bands with the most singles are Blur, Blink 182, Foo Fighters, and Pavement. So fucking excellent.

[scarymuppet]

Kiss my dick, I'm excited for this. With the exception of any Blink 182 making the list.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

Hey, Scary Muppet. Vote for for all of those completely unfuckwittable Jens Lekman EPs really high, okay? Because that's what I'm going to do.

[scarymuppet]

Sounds like a plan. Mayple Leefs 4 Lyfe.

[More Drama]

Thank fuck for UK editions of EPs which excise 15-minute remixes.

Regarding the Pixies: http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/pixies it says Where Is Your Mind was released in 2004 as a single.

But I'll find a replacement for Ace of Base

[The Good Dr Bill]

you'll find a replacement for The Pixies, too. Song has to be both recorded and released in the given time period to be eligible.

[undo]

004. Stacie Orrico- Stuck

Wow.

Do I need to hear this?

[More Drama]

"Optimistic", "I Might Be Wrong" ... I motion that they should all be inelligible.

These were solid radio hits in the US.

[BobtheSquid]

"Optimistic", "I Might Be Wrong" ... I motion that they should all be inelligible.

These were solid radio hits in the US.

The rule in the last poll was that if songs were sent to radio as promo singles, they're eligible for voting.
