Can we start TOP 10 Songs or Albums based on the survey in TFM page?

Topic started by Sangeetha (@ bluebird.state.mo.us) on Tue Dec 22 19:39:38 EST 1998.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

I think its better to start Top 10 Songs of the month in this Website. It will be more realistic and unbiased. Because almost everybody visting to this site will be having some music sense.

  why top song of the month? why not top album of the moment. At any time there should be top ten list of albums.. along with few new entrants.
  each should have a tab for to vote.
  a fan can vote once a day.
  the list can be sorted on number of votes.
  well.. how albums will leave the list? the number of votes should decay with time.. say half-life of a album is one week.. or -10 votes per week.
  
  Once its done it would need only some one to add new entires once in a while.
  
  tfm users or unbiased??! have to think..:)) whatever some ip checking mechanism will be needed.. ( some thing like remembering last 10 domain names..or last hour's hits)
  
  ps: i dont know cgi scripting..:))

  It will be very nice if we similate TFM TOP 10 with Srilanka Tamil Radio had this for a while ago.
  
  For the Initial week we have to nominate 10 songs. Based on the Votings these 10 songs will be rated from 1 thru 10. In addition ther will be an introduction of one new song every week for the next week contest.
  
  So every week 11 songs will be contested and 11th song will be dropped for the next week contest. Songs of long time favourite may remain in Rank 1 for long time.
  
  I think TFM Top 10 will be more attractive and interesting, because Surfers are electing the songs not by any unknown party.

  I come from Singapore and I don't know anything about Tamil radio stations in India though we have Tamil radio stations here in Singapore. We should have a TFM Top 10 because surfers will be able to give their own votes and there's no "people" set aside specially just for doing the top ten. Is there going to be any action taken to do this? I really want to know.

  Our current survey script cannot handle this
  Top 10 idea, since the songs will change over time. Have to think more about it.
  
  Srikanth: you have some ideas?

  hi all..
  I have put up this script on a host for testing.
  Just have a look and try your hand on voting.
  I dont know if its realy suitable for TFM. YOU can
  give your comments, on the countdown method/format. Just dont mind about the looks right now.
