Yeah let's just wait until the album is actually completely out before doing anything with this. There's no money on the line so I think we can wait.

Okay. I'll wait to update the points seeing as there is a significant enough demand for me to do so.

Casey, did you double check those numbers? Here were my predictions, annotated for points in bold:
TMBJon wrote:Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop 100
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 100
Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger
One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful 50
Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks
Mumford & Sons - I Will Wait
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know 100
fun. - We Are Young
Skrillex - Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites
Psy - Gangnam Style 100
Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop 50
LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem 50
Justin Timberlake - Suit and Tie
Daft Punk - Get Lucky 150
You did say 50 points would be awarded if you guessed the correct last song in the medley right? If so that means I would have 700 points.

I recommend everyone recheck the math on your own submission before we consider these results certified.


A bit surprised that you wouldn't have double-checked the math on this considering there's a four way tie for first. Image

After going over the totals again, I noticed the mistake Jon pointed out and hereby award him 50 bonus points for correctly guessing Get Lucky in the final slot. Everyone elses totals are accurate as far as I can tell. Now, there is a 3-way tie for second instead of a four way tie for first!

TMBJon: 700
HiggyG: 650
AccordionChick: 650
yankochick38: 650
Killingsworth: 600
Skippy: 550
CharlesNelson: 500
Bruce The Duck: 350

1st Place: TMBJon
2nd Place: (3-way tie): HiggyG, AccordionChick, yankochick38,
3nd Place: Killingsworth
4th Place: Skippy
5th Place: CharlesNelson
6th Place: Bruce The Duck

Congrats Jon, you win again!
