Latvia HoD in WWWSC& Retro WWWSC.

Post by Shovkovskyi/Peter on Jul 27, 2019 14:07:38 GMT 1
Knowing, that Latvia hasn't got many suggestions in this thread, I was wondering, who has the most suggested songs (only in this thread, including all the songs that were in playlists that have been published in this thread) and who of the most recent active Retro WWWSC players has got the least amount of suggestions? All these questions have now been answered. I will publish it all later today so you have time to guess, who might have the most songs suggested (you could guess a top3 or top5) and how many songs and which of the countries have the least amount of songs suggested (per edition that they have participated or in general). All I can reveal you right now is that 61 countries have taken part in this contest so far (at least once) and 53 of those countries have got at least 1 song suggested in this thread. EDIT: 54 was reduced to 53, because I forgot that Cuba hasn't even participated in this contest, but it has a song suggested in this thread. P.S. You need to remember, that all these numbers might not be 100% correct (should be 99% correct at worst) (especially for the countries with most songs), because I tried to NOT include songs that repeated as a suggestion and those, that have already taken part, before they were suggested. So I might have missed something, but even if I did miss something, it wouldn't change a lot in the final numbers). Those songs, that have participated in the contest AFTER being suggested in this thread are included in these final numbers that I just counted! P.S.S. Do not try to attempt and re-count them, because for me it took about 5 hours. Unless you have that much free time. P.S.S.S. Multiple countries have got the same song counted to their name IF that specific song was suggested to multpile countries.

There was a time when I received a bunch of them, that's why I predict myself to be in top 20 although I haven't received anything in a while - guess that's because I'm not using them lol.

I'd say the US probably won there. Maybe UK and Canada came close too And it might sound like an odd choice but I could see some country like Azerbaijan and Turkey get a good amount too.

I had that thought too tbh. It's in fact quite realistic imo. Not sure about Canada however tbh. 'cause I can't remember it having received many suggestions.

OK, I didn't get any response on the lower part of the table (I guess no one's interested in it - everyone just wants to know the top positions), so I decided to delete that post and do the full ranking of countries by the amount of songs they have received as a suggestion in this thread! IMPORTANT: if there was a playlist of songs (not each song separately) posted on this thread, I counted IN every song that was on that playlist (except the one's repeating)! There were 2 playlists and one of them made the difference, which you DID NOT EXPECT to happen. But, before you take a look at the full ranking, read the rules first, so you know, how it all came to look like this! Rules, that I used in this event: 1. Every song that has been suggested (and published obvs) on this thread counts + all the songs from a link to playlist, that also has been published (and formed as a suggestion to anyone) on this thread counts! 2. Repeating suggestions count as one. (for example, Brazil had "Lambada" suggested 3 times, but it counts as one, because it's the same song) 3. Songs, that are suggested on this thread (or are a part of a playlist that has been suggested in this thread to that matter), but have already taken part BEFORE they were first suggested, DON'T COUNT! 4. Songs that were suggested on this thread (or are a part of a playlist that has been suggested in this thread to that matter), but have been used only AFTER they were suggested for the first time, COUNT as an eligible suggestion! P.S. There might be some minor mistakes in these final numbers, because I might have missed some repeating songs as suggestions, but I did my best and even without those possible minor mistakes, the numbers would look pretty much the same. OK, READY?1. South Korea 244 (+ there was 1 song that will be available only in 2021, so it obvs doesn't count) (there was a link to a playlist of 200 songs posted (and suggested) in this thread, so every song from it counts here) 2. USA 231 3. UK 164 4. Germany 81 5. Italy 63 6. France 48 7. Finland 43 8. Greece 35 9. Spain 31 10. Philippines 30 11. Canada 29 12. Austria 27 + (there was a comment "anything from Falco", which is 98 songs (excluding “Rock me amadeus”), if I counted correctly, but as there weren't specific songs suggested or a link to a playlist of his songs posted in this thread, they were not counted into the total score) 13. Switzerland 23 14.-15. Cyprus 20 14.-15. Azerbaijan 20 16. Australia 19 17.-18. Ireland 18 17.-18. Armenia 18 19.-21. Turkey 14 19.-21. Sweden 14 19.-21. Slovenia 14 22. Mexico 13 23. Bosnia & Herzegovina 12 24. Serbia 11 25.-26. Chile 10 25.-26. Guatemala 10 27.-28. Iran 8 27.-28. Russia 8 29.-32. Malta 6 29.-32. Netherlands 6 29.-32. Poland 6 29.-32. Taiwan 6 33.-34. Slovakia 5 33.-34. Latvia 5 (3 of them I've used in the contest) 35.-36. Hungary 4 35.-36. Brazil 4 37.-38. Romania 3 37.-38. Denmark 3 39.-47. Belgium* 2 39.-47. North Macedonia 2 39.-47. Ethiopia 2 39.-47. Venezuela 2 39.-47. Croatia 2 39.-47. Portugal 2 39.-47. Morocco 2 39.-47. Indonesia 2 39.-47. Argentina 2 48.-54. Kazakhstan 1 48.-54. Norway 1 48.-54. Moldova 1 48.-54. Cuba* 1 48.-54. Japan* 1 48.-54. China 1 48.-54. Costa Rica 1 My comments: To be honest, I wasn't expecting such outcome either. We all failed to guess the 1st position. My worst fear, when I started doing this, has become true - Latvia has the least amount of songs suggested from the countries, that hasn't missed a single edition of this contest. I've used 60% of all songs, that have been suggested to me, so you can definitely suggest me some, because there's a high chance I might use them (starting from edition #81, because in the 70's I'm doing the letter challenge + the songs won't get "too old" or "overused" so they can sit in this thread for some time *Not only Cuba (as I first thought), but also Japan and Belgium haven't participated in a single edition in Retro WWWSC, but both Cuba and Japan have 1 song as a suggestion in this thread, while Belgium has 2. My question is - why suggest to someone, that isn't even taking part? (when they will, then do those suggestions, not now) I hope you are satisfied with the amount of songs you have received as suggestions. My SUGGESTION in this suggestion thread to all of you - we should probably focus more on suggesting songs to those countries, that don't have that much, because the top3 have enough songs for at least a century (in terms of editions) to use for without any more suggestions. Even the other countries in top7 have enough for a longer time to use. Obviously, I don't forbid to suggest to these countries as well, but maybe do it only once you really feel like it, not just throw a list of songs to one person (I mean to those, who already have a lot of songs suggested). Try to be more creative and support some of the least known countries as well Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this and will think about it next time you want to suggest songs to someone! P.S. If anyone's brave enough and have plenty of free time, you can go through 173 pages of song suggestions in the main contest - WWWSC - and do a list like this

Great and interesting research Shovkovskyi/Peter However, just as a piece of information (not changing any of the results you presented), Falco also took part in the very first edition of the main contest, not just with ‘Rock me Amadeus’ in #20.

Here it's only about the retro contest (except when the song has already been used, before the suggetion came in, in either of the contests) and the main contest wasn't really taken in consideration, because it hs it's own entry suggestion thread EDIT: and I also mentioned, that there might be some minor mistakes, so no one has to take this as 100% truth.
