Well the stats are in: congrats to Bruce Warren (@somevelvetblog.bsky.social) on topping the #XPNCountdown table with a perfect 10/10 and a whopping 8 picks in the top 25, including "Watchtower" at #1. Mike V comes in 2nd, followed by @wendyrollins.bsky.social in 3rd then @shesmyfriend.bsky.social.

As promised yesterday, I calculated the XPN Host's #XPNCountdown selections according to @unclebrucy.bsky.social's scoring system. @jmcgnn.bsky.social, who has half his list done already has a 1 3/8 lead over @shesmyfriend.bsky.social. @kristenkurtis.bsky.social currently sits in 4th.
