It's the #PWC26 GOLDEN BEAT Announcement for the best discovery of the tournament.
We have a joint 3rd, a 2nd and a 1st place to award, none of which reached Pollhalla. (The top Pollhalla entrant was runner-up Eftalya Yagci's "DARBUKA" with 6 noms)
86 out of 144 tracks got a pick!

In @peoples-pop-polls.bsky.social #PWC26 news, "USA" (or "Take Me To America") by Dubioza Kolektiv has become a viral hit apparently!
Peoples Pop Polls' July poll is 1996, a year I barely know for country. Recommendations would be appreciated. #CountryRockSunday [Tom goes by year of first release whether it's album cut or single.] Be as obscure as you want.
