Festive 51 : 2025 — Voting OPEN NOW

Posted: December 2, 2025 in Uncategorized
0

Each year listeners vote for their favourite tracks; voting open Dec 1-21 and the shows span the last 3 days of the year.

The FESTIVE FIFTY ONE is back and you can vote for any tracks you want*** – Vote by email bluesky FB Twitter This FB or Tumblr or the form below

Here is a sortable pDF of all music played on the show in 2025 2025 played
*** I can’t play everything, songs that weren’t played do make their way in like ‘write-in’ candidates! …but … votes for mainstream corporate pop bollocks will just be discarded.

** If you can’t remember tracks titles you can just vote for a band/act – your vote will be ‘attached’ to their leading track at that point.

  • “Industry” can vote (i.e. PR/Labels) but your bias is adjusted by a reduced value vote (unless you clearly vote across the board and off business interests).

Votes are evaluated and worth 2 or more points based how many you vote for:

7 selections maximises your vote points but you can vote for up to 20
Ordering your vote verses just listing votes gives a slightly higher score to those at the top of the order

Voting for just one song will get minimum. If a flood of single votes come in and it’s obviously a ‘campaign’ it gets ‘capped’.
