Most songs/artists that are nominated are either on my YouTube, or my mixtape compilations on DatPiff.


Other awards are givin' out that either have to do with my Top 10 countdown or my own personal feeling about a song. These awards appear under tha "Other Awards" section. No matter how many are won in this section, they are each displayed on one single award.


Tha last set of categories that are within tha "Other Awards" deal with how I deal wit people on tha phone and personally. Tha awards are: Most Frequent Person I Talked To By Phone Of 2011 (measured by how many conversations on tha phone I had wit someone in tha year) and Best Person I Talked To By Phone Of 2011 (measured by how long each conversation I had wit someone added up to). All these phone awards are wit music-business people only. Tha final award in this section iz tha Best New Person Of 2011 award. It's a one-time award for anyone I met in 2011 (music business and non-music business) and iz very special. For example, this year, I've met tons of people within tha year. All tha people I met won't get this award except one special person so tha one special person defeats tha chances of all tha others, which iz very special!


Extra awards given out will be *CERTIFIED CLASSIC* awards for any song I played at least 100x, playlist awards for any song I played at least 16 weeks on my playlist, and any awards for if an artist broke a record wit me (e.g., longest phone call).
