2025 Talossan Music Top 20 Special Edition: Songs with no Lyrics

Many thanks to everyone who nominated songs. Of course, people who did not are still very welcome to participate.

Piano Fantasia - Song for Denise
Stromae - Merci

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- 24-hour tiebreaker round
- 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.

Again the deadline has passed and we only have two votes on group 5 of the unusual time signature round.

Group 5 will close when we get one more voter.

Additionally there is a tie for second place in group 1 of the no lyrics round, so there will be a 24 hours tiebreaker round.

Give your top song 1 point. Voting will close in 24 hours.
