Welcome to the second Kill or Save on DeathList!
I feel like the first round was popular with the #1 hits of the 70s and now everyone is open to the 80s. Well, you didn't want it any other way!
“Kill or Save” is all about finding the best or the favorite song within one topic.
Initially, each song has 20 points. To increase or decrease the number of points, you can award 4 points and subtract 6 in each round. Deduction and addition of points can vary, e.g. add 2 x 2 points or subtract 2 x 3 points. Important: You can only vote once a day to keep it fair. Yes, I know it might get a bit confusing due to the different time zones we all live in, but I'm just appealing for fairness and honesty. So please only vote once a day!
You always have to use the last vote as a guide.
For a better overview, please mark your voting (e.g. + 2, + 4 or -3, - 6) and classify the song according to its current value.
Here are the UK-No.1-songs of the 80s:
We start with the years 1980 and 1981, then 1982/83 and so on. Form each round 5 songs will enter the last round, the Grand Final, consisting of 25 songs:
1980/81: 43 songs = the last 5 songs will enter the Grand Final
1982/83: 38 songs = the last 5 songs will enter the Grand Final
