So I'm confused about these, and Wikipedia isn't very helpful lol

What Wikipedia says is that the anniversary edition contains 2 discs, 1 with all the tracks and b sides, and the disc 2 with new remixes or previously unreleased tracks. That makes only Little Lady Love and All Around the World count as "new".

But Sometimes and Girls' Nite Out appear on the disc 1. Were these songs truly unreleased, as in, they weren't even B sides before?

Sometimes and Girls' Nite Out were previously unreleased as well, so Wikipedia is kinda wrong. Tracks 13-16 on disc one were the album b-sides (and were previously released, just not included on the original album's tracklisting) and 17-20 are previously unreleased.

Sometimes apparently leaked years ago

It did, I believe in 2016? And an acapella snippet of the song leaked online way back in 2008, apparently it was on a German promo CD or something.

I really liked it

that Jonas song too. I'm not a fan of them, but stumbled upon that song by accident, and I really liked it. Then I found out it was written by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub, I was like, of course

Nah, it would be just one voting. 

Each person will give me their list of songs, from 1 being the best, to as many songs as they want (100 is the limit). 

Depending on the position of the song, and the total amount of songs they're submitting, each song will receive a score (the more songs you submit, the higher their score is gonna be for your top songs, but I'll explain that on a new thread in November) 

So I'm just gonna add all the scores, and pick the 100 highest scores. Unless there's a lot of ties, I don't think there will be any additional rounds. 

 

But I'm starting a weekly Top 20 sometime this year, probably in late November or December, and this will be the new method to decide next year's Top 100. But I'll explain that in due time too.

Okay this is exciting I like the weekly top songs to ultimately have a more solid shortlisted songs. Thanks for always improving this.
