ST24 Round 2 Results

The judges have made their decisions, and Round 2 of SpinTunes 24 is in the books. When you look at the full table, you might notice the wide discrepancy between rankings, and you might think to yourself, "These judges can't agree on anything!"

But in fact, the differences in rankings actually reveal something that all the judges do agree on, which is that this is an incredibly good batch of songs. The overall level of quality meant the judges had to consider small technical details, interpretation of the open-ended challenge, and their own personal preferences - all of which meant that a song that everyone agreed was enjoyable could (and often did) land near the top of one judge's rankings and the bottom of another's. That's why we've got five of them!

There were a handful of songs, though, that rose to the top of the rankings. After a second-place finish in Round 2, Vehicles of Beware charmed the judges with their gentle, world-weary tale of a traveling musician's life; "Getting to the gig" wins the round!

Sober lands in a very close second place; then at the top of a group of very similarly-scoring entrants are our tied third place finishers: Celestial Drift and Hot Pink Halo.

Read on for the full Round 2 results!
