#UncoolTwo50

Bit of history before we start Day 5 with a SHOCK.

Why is it a shock?

Before focusing on the "50 Songs" project, I ran other music challenges for just over two years.

The biggest (200+ people) was #33Thirds, where people chose their favourite Track 3s.

The next song "won"...

We must not forget that they had 5 singles in the original #Uncool500 (four in the top 250) and that this was more than Prince and Michael Jackson combined.

And that 'Pale Shelter' made the final #33Thirds list.

Yep, that's the other thing... how your followers skew.

No way that's the final if there are more Brits involved, but if you know you know :)

(I learned this in a big way when running #33Thirds, where people were choosing their favourite track threes)

I realise that physical aging always involves some level of "how did I do THAT?", but so does online aging...
