Lists should be ordered 1 to 10 if you possibly can. I'll assume any lists without specific numbering will have the number 1 at the top.
If you absolutely, positively, cannot order them then state on the post that they're unordered but they'll all get the half-way points.

As it's 12 days until the voting for 2025 opens I thought I'd remind everyone of the past 12 winners of what some people are calling, "that thing that that guy does on twitter and bluesky but he doesn't do it on twitter any more"

Time to go back to bed.
Reminder that all of the Festive 50 shows going back to 2013 are available on MixCloud for another couple of weeks at least. Then it'll just revert back to the last few years.
See you in November.
