I’ve been running on way to little sleep the last few days. Duh! For some reason, I thought you were talking about Liberty Quartet.

“Everyday” is Triumphant’s new single.

I can’t remember what the single was. All I remember is what the single wasn’t – “Call it What it Is.” That’s the song I think they really need to send to radio before they come out with their next project.

It seems kinda odd that they would push these songs. Hmm…but on that note, Triumphant’s album Everyday is the best I’ve heard in a while. I guess “Everyday” is the single? If so, I wouldn’t vote it song of the year even though it’s a good song…just not the strongest.

OK, good point.

I understand, Daniel, but my question is whether the songs are even eligible since they are April releases. For some reason I thought the nominated songs had to be released by March 2009.

Tyler, it’s a risk Daywind has successfully taken before. They put “Once Upon a Cross” in their ballot before virtually anyone had heard it, and it made the top 10. If it had gotten the charting success it deserved, and really caught on, it would have peaked at the perfect points for top 5 and final ballots.

So since their risk has succeeded in the past, it’s somewhat less of a risk to try it again!

Well that’s disturbing, that’s all I can say. Daywind is supposed to be the “Premier” SG record label, and they may have just shut out two of their top artists (who without fail have a song in the Top 10 – Triumphant, BFA) for no good reason at all.

I’d expect it from some of the lesser-known labels, but not Daywind.

I guess it’s up to the fans to nominate “The Old White Flag” and “I Believe God” despite Daywind’s mega-blunder. Not only was Daywind’s “advertisement insert” not an advertisement, it actually had the effective of negative advertising (if, in fact, those songs are disqualified).

If that prevents TQ and BFA from having a Top 10 SN Song of the Year, more people than I will be upset.

Tyler,
It wouldn’t be the first time a record label has pushed a nomination that wasn’t eligible…or failed to push an eligible song.

Spoken like a true BFA fan! I don’t know near that many of their songs.
