So, after totally losing my mind and doing a double SOTM compo, I've been wondering how other "hosts" go about choosing their shortlists of songs for voting on?

I just pick out what I think are the five best songs...don't worry about it and don't get complicated about it...for that month I am the dictator and the five choices are mine..loud echoing mad laughter follows.... :) :) :)

I'm with Kevin on this one, only hosted once but quickly realised if you think too much into is easy to lose ya mind. Reckon a bit of personal bias is healthy, if there were a strict set of criteria to look for we'd likely have the mostly the same people.

Go with your gut, although I try to include some positive bias to get some musical diversity.
After all it’s more of a showcase than a competition imho.
