Welcome to the fourth Kill or Save on DeathList!
“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.
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.
Important: You can only vote once a day to keep it fair. Please date your daily voting with an exact date, e.g. “22.08.2023” or “July 13th 2023”, not just “today”.
Otherwise, I would like to thank all the players who are a bit careful and attentive! Thank you very much!
Here are the UK-No.1-songs of the 60s:
We start with the years 1960 and 1961, then 1962/63 and so on.
From each round 4, 5 or 6 songs will enter the last round, the Grand Final, consisting of 25 songs:
1960/61: 38 songs = the last 5 songs will enter the Grand Final
1962/63: 29 songs = the last 4 songs will enter the Grand Final
1964/65: 47 songs = the last 6 songs will enter the Grand Final
1966/67: 34 songs = the last 5 songs will enter the Grand Final
