In Round 3, five of the remaining fifteen songs in last year's top 20 were eliminated. Seven of the nine remaining new songs were eliminated, while the other two (Old Time Rock and Roll and I'm Shipping Up to Boston) have advanced to the final.

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

TMT20 ROUND 4
Round 4 consists of one group of ten songs (the 4th and 5th place songs from each of the five groups of Round 3). The top five songs advance to Round 5 and earn a spot in the Top 20.

The voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.

Give your top four songs 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three or four songs (awarding the 1-point vote is optional).

Blur - The Universal
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
Eagles - Midnight Flyer
Jefferson Starship - Jane
Ludwig von Beethoven - 9th Symphony in D minor, Op. 125, 4th movement
Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Muse - Uprising
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 4 points
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- PPV in Round 3
- PPV in Round 2
- Last year's result (1 > 2 > ... > 20 > Round 4 > Round 3 > Round 2 > other)
- PPV in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Random chance

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.
