#TheTwen2ie5 Three of these lists have now been processed. The fourth player needs to replace two duplicates. But you can expect lots of previously un-nominated Kendrick, and developments in the race for second* most nominated album. *first is obviously 🟩

#TheTwen2ie5 Back again. Reminder that we'll soon be in the last three days of the double bonus window. I don't expect to come near filling the 21 slots :( But, if you are considering it, please make sure you send your picks to me before Wednesday. On the 'COOL LIST' side of things...

#TheTwen2ie5 The first song to reach 50 points is... is... NOT by Chappell Roan 🤯

#TheTwen2ie5 Morning - ploughing through another list and one year has broken the 100-song mark. Guessing which... is probably the safest game of Russian Roulette ever played.

#Thetwen2ie5 By the way, please don't be disheartened if your faves haven't been picked yet. One of my repeat artists (who also boasts a 12 contender) has nothing so far. Of the other four repeat artists, only one has a double match. One PPP year winner and two runners-up aren't on the list. Etc.

#THETWEN2IE5 The YOUR PICKS page is now live!

#THETWEN2IE5 - YOUR PICKS ANNOUNCEMENT Shortly, this page will go live at mu21cvs.com. Just in time for the end of the (UK) working week. Two lists are still to be loaded, but we have: 441 songs, of which 439 are on Spotify from (by my count) 50 different countries Tuck in!

Apparently the NFL wanted her show for free, and thought the value of it for her was the exposure. The NFL has been getting free exposure from Taylor, just from her going to her fiancés games, and she is getting death threats for it. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

#TheTwen2ie5 etc Morning. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT From now on, please include the COUNTRY or COUNTRIES in any list you send, and also in posts. I will NOT process lists until they have this information. This is to save my time compiling the 'YOUR 2020s PICKS' page. Thanks.

This is appalling as expected from a strategically, politically and ethically bankrupt Labour leadership All Starmer offers is a slightly less extreme version of the far right which only ends up normalising its discourse, allowing it to set the agenda

#TheTwen2ie5 This isn't happening until tomorrow at the earliest, sorry.

This was the plan all along

#TheTwen2ie5 Aiming to publish 'YOUR PICKS' later today, though two more lists came in overnight. In reap/sow news, the first ten songs in the 2020 section (alphabetical by title) include ALL of: Wire The Strokes New Order Morrissey I sincerely promise you this is deceptive.😌

The Private Psychedelic Reel by The Chemical Brothers (Dig Your Own Hole, 1997)

Once & for all, let's specify what "poptimism" was & wasn't, and why many people can't stop blaming it for every cultural change of the past 20 years. Most recently the esteemed Kelefa Sanneh, who's often (wrongly) said to have started it! Today in @slate.com slate.com/culture/2025...

The German government made the same argument when moving to stricter asylum rules in the 90s. Since then, far-right violence in Germany has not only increased. In many regions the far right has become an institutionalized even dominant force. We now see a second generation of far-right thugs.

it doesn't matter what this article says the fact that this article exists legitimises the notion. this how the false idea of 'balance' has been so easily weaponised by the right over the last decade they state something wild that has no basis in reality and the media rush to provide 'balance'

This is more or less exactly what we mean by liberal bullshit. Of COURSE paracetamol doesn't caus autism, and it's safe to use during pregnancy. But the headline frames it as though it's a serious question! It isn't! It's bullshit! It WAS, many decades ago, and it's been REALLY FIRMLY ANSWERED!

#TheTwen2ie5 Update on this - two more advance lists in, so I should be able to publish 'Your 2020s picks' tomorrow (25th). I have made a rod, as previous challenges involved recording only songs/points/rank. Adding to that is Spotify, YouTube and country info. Hope it helps with taking part!

It is with profound sadness that The Yorkshire County Cricket Club announces the passing of Harold Dennis “Dickie” Bird MBE OBE, one of cricket’s most beloved figures, who died peacefully at home at the age of 92. Read more: yorkshireccc.com/news/harold-...

#TheTwen2ie5 Good morning, here's a short thread. The obvious reason why I've been pushing the double bonus and advance lists is to gauge enthusiasm and hopefully fill the 21 double bonus slots. As we're on six, with only eight days left, the latter looks unlikely now. However...

The Primavera Sound 2026 lineup will be revealed on September 25th! 🎟️ Get your full festival tickets at the current price before the lineup drops at www.primaverasound.com #primaverasoundbcn

Instead the fucking government wants to extend the ILR qualifying period to ten years Well done everyone

Another list (and a sixth double bonus selection) puts a Grammy AOTY winner in the 4-zone. (and if her fourth ends up as her top pick, I'm moving to Micronesia and leaving you all to it 😇) #TheTwen2ie5

#TheTwen2ie5 finally has a 5th double bonus slot claimed. (plus two from the Cool List confirmed and two more from the list who indicated they might choose it) Nine days of the window left after today...

Good morning, welcome to a new era/century. Three things: 1. This account is now @mu21cvs.bsky.social, until the big countdown in spring 2027. 2. The username is THETWEN2IE5, until January 2026 when it will switch to THETENX5. 3. Please see below regarding the double bonus. Thanks!

#ALL50RTS Two more things: The WHOLE LOTTA HISTORY page at mu21cvs.com has now been updated with the #ALL50RTS results. And here's the full Top 100 with stats, in the usual Google format. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

#ALL50RTS THE WINNER 1. 🥇 THE ROLLING STONES (1/2) 'GIMME SHELTER' UK 1969 Let It Bleed 272 points (sic) 3 x 12, 1 x 11, 5 HMs 12: @begoodjohnny84.bsky.social 12: @damjef.bsky.social 12: @darkgoshawk.bsky.social UK 1/54 🥇 1969 1/6 1960s 1/16 🥇 Openers 🥇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbmS...

Good evening, and welcome to the finale of #ALL50RTS. The seventh '50 songs' challenge in the last 3 years, and the last before this account becomes a 21st-century concern. This time, a one-off for non-singles. Yes, that's Donna Summer (0/0). What's Donna Summer doing here? Well...

Jagger muscles his way to the front again. David looks at him like “wtf dude?”

#ALL50RTS 2. 🥈 DAVID BOWIE (1/3) 'STATION TO STATION' UK 1976 Station To Station 177 points (2 x 12, 3 x 11, 2 HMs) 12: @meikle.bsky.social & @tonygallacher.bsky.social UK 2/54 🥈 1976 1/2 1970s 1/29🥇 His best placing, but still... not quite a golden year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY77...

#ALL50RTS 10 points per pick 20 to get logged 30/40 median age of picks in years, approx. 50 songs 60s v 70s 80% take up of HMs 90-odd voters The Top 100 climaxes with a battle between DAVID BOWIE 1976 and THE ROLLING STONES 1969 But Who's Really Got The Silver...?

#ALL50RTS I mention 103pts in August because… The top four are the only tracks to score 100+ in August (Month 2). When there were no HMs of course. Is this how #aTheTwen2ie5 will shake down? Is Month 2 the key?

#ALL50RTS 3. 🥉 BLUR (1/1) 'THIS IS A LOW' UK 1994 Parklife 176 points (1 x 12, 4 x 11, 2 HM) 12: @lotty.bsky.social UK 3/54 🥉 1994 1/6 1990s 1/24🥇 Brits - never more at it :) 11th at the end of July. 103pts in August. Bowie v Stones FOR THE TITLE! Later... www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZIY...

This is funniest possible headline for a song literally called "Song for Bob Dylan"

After another advance list, the Cha- s have now been joined by someone who’s “in the Zone” so to speak… #TheTwen2ie5

Reminder - this is why the #ALL50RTS countdown has stalled for a bit. Fans of the European canon, the shipping forecast and Ms Clayton will have to wait…

British millennials choosing yank garbage over stuff like red dwarf and Blackadder and peep show need to be poked in the eye

An excellent argument not just against ChatGPT, but in favor of human translators

#ALL50RTS ANNOUNCEMENT Things are going to get weird time-wise, as I will be travelling to Cornwall from 3am, and I don't think I'll have wifi access until late afternoon. So... I'm going to start the FINAL DAY COUNTDOWN before going to bed tonight!

#ALL50RTS Of the seven songs left by the way: - 3 are album openers - 2 are album closers (by the same band! SPOILER!!) - 1 might as well be an album closer and there's 1 other.
