2017 Album Rates [Ideas]

Recommended Posts

tumblr_ovamy8hLLJ1u99d4xo1_250.gif 

So as far as I know (with my pre 2017 knowledge of FOTP) there were only 2 rates for 2017 albums (one being a larger version), which I found odd considering other pop forums (at least the ones that I've lurked on) make a way bigger deal out of the end of year rates. I also noticed that the results were revealed in a results show format which I, as someone who deals with TIMEZONES, of course most certainly cannot make it.

So what exactly am I suggesting?

1) Have different rates and group the albums into different categories (debuts, big pop girls, comeback albums, R&B etc.) and have different people run each one. The rates don't all have to happen at the same time, so that people have enough time to sit through all the albums.

This way people can take part in rates where their preferred style of music is involved and there's more hype overall.

2) Instead of a countdown/results show format, reveal the results over a period of time (a certain amount of songs will be revealed on each day and gradually becomes lesser as the winner reveal nears).

This would mean that there's more participation and DEFINITELY more drama and anticipation!

Of course this is just an idea, and I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on it!

This might be too early, but here are my suggestions for albums we can use in these rates!

(just wanted to get this out here!)

 

Pop:

R&B

Alt R&B:

Others:

Bjork — Utopia

Tori Amos — Native Invader

Paramore — After Laughter

 

I'm probably missing out a lot, so do leave your suggestions!

you get a heap of album rankings/reviews at the end of 2017 from FOTPers. thats why people dont really invest in rates because it might contradict how they feel later or spoil the results

I know the Reycists, Gabe and me have done yearly countdowns for the last few years but there have been loads of new members so hopefully more will do it too!

Yes I love rates and also I am new member! It's always fun to have this huge event where (mostly)everyone is involved and I hope that somehow countdowns and rate become more prominent here!

The other ideas seem more interesting (except the one with debuts, you won't pay me to sit through Zara Larsson) but realistically, only the FOTP faves one would get a decent number of participants. Also yes, the reveal-over-a-couple-of-days format is better because it's exhausting to try and do, like, 50 songs at once + gives more people a chance to participate at different times.

yes I was thinking of Demi and Halsey, but what can I group Halsey under? Alt-pop? (I haven't heard the album so I wouldn't know)

 

Halsey is either pop or alt-pop, let's just put it under pop music before some Lana stans start dragging you for putting her under alt-pop! jj2

I actually think I might be one of the only few who actually likes So Good (well most of the songs at least).

Yes the plan is for the FOTP faves one to have the most hype, since it pits everyone's favourites together. But the other side rates can also have a good amount of participants since not every one is necessarily a pop stan and it might get some participation! 

Also the reveal format does give more time for graphics and other preparations so overall I do think it's better than a countdown format!
