Reddit Top of the Pops

The official subreddit for trying to get our own generic pop song to the top of the charts!

So Far...

Well, we're on a roll! So far, we've had some backing tracks submitted, now we're at the stage where we need lyrics and singers / rappers.

Where You Come In

Please listen to these backing tracks (http://tinyurl.com/c9vkm9j), and submit your demos for lyrics (either typed as words, or as demos of you singing them - they do not need to be vocally perfect). Title your post "Lyrics submission: my post".

Then, if you're a vocalist, please pick up somebody's lyric suggestions and submit yourself singing to it. Video is best, but audio is great too. Title your post "Vocals submission: my post".

Get Involved!

This is a rough guide of where we're at. We strongly encourage you to get involved and submit your creations. We're all very kind here, because we're all here for the same reason - to get to number 1! :)

General Execution Plan

~~We all nominate starter backing tracks, ones with the most potential in this thread:~~ http://tinyurl.com/c9vkm9j
Producers make polished versions of the backing tracks
Lyricists write lyrics
Singers record lyrics
Have mixers mix the backing tracks and the recorded vocals
Have masterers master the final mixes
Have videographers create music videos
Register as a charity
Have a host release the EP online
Collect and distribute royalties accordingly
Bask in glory

This is to show the progress so far.
