We’re in the process of making some improvements to the Hall of Fame. One of the first changes we’re doing is to apply some stricter rules.

Here they are:

- All recordings must match the SingSnap backing track (unless recorded using the “SingSnap Original” track).

- No unfair advantage when it comes to receiving nominations is allowed (spamming other members, creating your own nomination links etc).

Recordings that don’t follow these rules will be removed from the Hall of Fame.

Our first edition of “Jukebox Jackpot!” on Friday, November 27, 2009 was a great success! There was a 25% increase above average of songs recorded on that day!

For the second edition of this special feature, “Jukebox Jackpot!” we will be taking the FIRST 40 ARTIST SUGGESTIONS from ALL SingSnap members!

We will post the link from this blog post on the Feature Page so everyone may see who contributed to the “Jukebox Jackpot!” theme. We are asking for ONE artist per member. Please, if you participated in the last “Jukebox Jackpot!”, choose a different artist from the last time!

The “Jukebox Jackpot!” theme is set on the calendar for New Year’s Day – Friday, January 1st, 2010.

Thank you in advance to everyone for your artist suggestions and HAPPY SINGING!
