For those who have a Twitter account, we're doing a tournament bracket on Twitter with all* Editors songs, just for fun New polls every day at 10am CEST / 9am BST! (tip: turn on notifications for the account so you don't miss any) Bigger version of the photo here*for some reason Formaldehyde isn't in the bracket at the moment, not sure what I did wrong but I'll probably sacrifice the Twilight version of NSBTW for it since that's technically a demo and there are still 3 other versions of that song included, unless anyone has a better idea?

Wow, How on earth did you make that bracket chart? That must have taken some thinking!

Wow, How on earth did you make that bracket chart? That must have taken some thinking! I first made a list of all Editors songs (fun fact: based on a then complete list Feak made on the old forum years ago) and forgot to add Formaldehyde because I'm an idiot, and randomly paired them on a tournament draw generator website. The actual bracket is from www.printyourbrackets.com/ and I just pasted the song titles on it (screenshots from Spotify) this is the kind of thing I fill my weekends with when you put me in lockdown for too long apparently even though it actually didn't take that long once I gave up on trying to find a website that did all the steps for me

Great job with all this H. Thanks for you time and effort in running it all thank you! it was great fun although some results were absolute madness and there were some heartbreaking choices. Finals starts tomorrow, I'll leave the poll up for a day or two so everyone gets a chance to vote

and the winner is..................The Racing Rats! Kind of an unexpected winner if you ask me. Okay it's a single from an album that's clearly very popular, and it's a song they always play live, but I never expected it to beat Papillon and I was also surprised it kicked out Fingers and Smokers. What do y'all think? (look at that cute lil rat)

Before it started I was expecting a final between Papillon and Munich, then once Munich was out I did expect it to be Papillon vs Racing Rats. Of course I love those songs, but I would have picked something more obscure haha Love that rat btw

its the live experience that carried it the win, not the album version imo. not that the album version is bad, but it would be hard pushed to make my top 20 of studio tracks, maybe not even top 30. And there is a fair few of those that have never been played live. Live only it would be further up but still not top 10
