Here is the relevant section of the rules for HMs, setting out all your options.

Plus an excerpt from today's MIDNIGHTS page, updated daily and linked below.

These two have, not coincidentally, been promoting the

SPECIAL (double bonus) rule since before the start.

Still time for you to double up if you want!

I know there are some *proper* veterans of my other game-based music challenges still playing this.

I added this teaser just for you.

(I also added a list of old-school Twitter challenges to the end of the WHOLE LOTTA HISTORY page...enjoy the memories)

This rather overdue pick (which is in my HMs) means that all six "Popjustice £20 Music Prize" winners of the decade have now been chosen.

100% aimed at manufacturing consent amongst an audience that skews left.

Usual insidious BBC game-playing.

Pretends to be an impartial observer in UK politics when it's actually an active participant.

*Again* the top story on BBC 6 music is about immigration

How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!?

The obsession of 6 Music news on immigration and asylum is frankly bizarre

This week I have been revising the structure of Part V to allow more participants, while still treating ever-presents as special.

This meant a little tweak to section 2 of this page.

Everything about this is wretched, but what really gets me is the closeups of the wheels and how it looks like there’s zero friction between the tires and road. It’s as if the trucks were superimposed over a background image with no sense they occupy the same physical space.

Please be aware of this change:

I will not accept any extra HMs that come in after:

7PM (UK TIME) on 30th November
(previously 9pm).

MIDNIGHTS has also been updated, but here it is on FUTURE NOSTALGIA, as the same will apply to the 10s and 00s.

Thanks.

CUT-OFF news is updated every day here.

I'm promoting it today because the song in the last auto-qual spot (138th), on 34 points, uniquely received TWO advance 12s (and a 10).

But it hasn't been posted once.

Unsurprisingly, it's a rap song...

I just want to point this out in case anyone needs clarification, as it has no points so far (which surprises me a little):

All Too Well (10-minute version or Taylor's Version) MUST be picked for the 20s.

The *original* version for the 10s.

Also mentioned in FAQs for Rule 1.

One more thing about the optional extra HMs.

Deadline is 9pm GMT on 30th November. The closer to that time you leave it, the later the parade starts. Obviously.

See the MIDNIGHTS and FUTURE NOSTALGIA pages. Latter linked below; screenshots also shown.

HMs - last word.

The only player who posted and hasn't completed five is @eddierobson.bsky.social.

Anyone who didn't do them - you need five to be invited to the finale in 15 months time. See GET LUCKY below

Double bonus players will need 50.

Anyway...

About 10 people need to post at least one HM to reach five.

2 left

@helenenen.bsky.social
@mathewkumar.com

3 left

@mightygodking.com

Then the main 50 starts again tomorrow!

Two sets of 25, 5 HMs in between (for which you had six days). Simple.

How many more times?

There's a resource, put together for every player to use - keep ignoring it (along with everything I write here, and what 95% of players are doing on the feed) and see where it gets you.

Good morning, welcome to the middle day of your part of the challenge.

MIDNIGHTS always keeps you up to date, but here's an excerpt for those behind with HMs (i.e. you've posted 2 or 3).

JUST FOR TODAY I don't mind you posting more than one to catch up.

As we discovered in the old days of prediction contests, guessing is a mug's game.

I never expected anyone to send a full list of 50 HMs in October, but having received one i need to ask a favour:

Please DON'T send in such a list until late November (the last 10 days)...

Only one player is "behind" on HMs (i.e. they started but haven't posted more than one), which is

@eddierobson.bsky.social

Not too worried as he is a double bonus player so has to send 50 by 30th Nov anyway - just don't want to be dealing with HMs on 1st November.

Hello everyone.

Going to take the opportunity of HMs week to run a BONUS CHECK for Month 1.

Please see below and let me know if there are any errors in bonuses used. Don't be shy - with a website to run, errors are more likely than not.

Please also READ THE REPLY. Thanks.
October 28, 2025 at 3:10 PM
#THETWEN2IE5

We'e coming up to 80 players posting HMs, which is a take-up rate comparable to #All50rts - thanks everyone.

Plus there are a few who haven't posted but are claming the double bonus, so they must submit a full 50 by 30th Nov anyway.

Daily 75
Lists 20
Total 95
HMs 77 so far
