Calling All Music Lovers!
July 2024 Unofficial Challenge!
Time to try one of these unofficial challenges out, if you guys would have me!
Here's the prompt: Choose your favorite or one of your favorite albums or songs of all time and write about why it's so important to you. You can take any approach; delve into the lyrics, the instrumentals, the production, or just the way it makes you feel and why. Easy, simple, and fun. Really sell it to me! It can be as long or short as you want, word count doesn't matter to me.
I promise to listen fully to whatever album or song you write about in order to put myself in your shoes and understand why and what you feel towards the music, and I also promise to not let any personal preference in my taste in music affect my judging. I mostly like all genres of music anyway! I'm excited to hear from you all.
Sadly, I am currently a broke Dunkin employee who cannot gift cash prizes as of right now. So for the first place prize, I will like and comment on 25 of your works, as well as subscribe to you if I already am not. (Shoutout to Belle for this idea! Check out her unofficial challenges as well.) For second place, I will read, like, and comment on 10 of your stories and subscribe, and for third place I will do this for 5 amd subscribe as well.
All submissions must be in by the 27th, and results will be in by July 30th! Just leave them in the comments below.
I thought this might be fun, and I might discover some new music on top of it! I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone :)

Are Retail Expansion Decisions Failing Because You’re Ignoring Location Intelligence?
Retail expansion often looks straightforward on paper. A promising city, visible footfall, familiar competitors—everything seems right. Yet many stores struggle within months, while others succeed just a few streets away.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Unfortunately, I missed this one while on a break of sorts. There are a couple of songs I would love to have chosen for this. Great challenge idea, Angela. Congratulations on Top Story!

Congrats on your Top Story!!!
Congratulation for top story
Angela, unfortunately with everything I have going on with my move I don't have the time to do your challenge justice, but I think it's a great idea. If I had time I would talk about Santana's Europa or anything by Jimmy Smith. Good luck with this and congrats on Top Story!
At last... here's my entry... https://shopping-feedback.today/beat/pressure-vg15b0gs2%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Ugh!!! Just now seeing this. I may be able to pull something out of the hat by then. Congrats on your TS!
Nice introduction, thanks
This sounds like fun. As long as people have jobs they are never broke. Maybe temporarily out of cash until the next paycheck. I will get to work on the challenge.

Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
I am so in. If I can remember in the morning, 😆
I kid you not, I was drafting a very similar challenge last night but didn’t finish! Now I’ll have to reconsider…or just revise, lol. I’ll have a think! This sounds very fun and fruitful! Im always looking for new music!
I like this idea, Angela. Might be hard to narrow it down to a single song or album, though.
This is brilliant. I love it :)
Creative challenge! Great top story Angela💘
I have written about this before...but I have a few other ideas in mind... 🎶 🎵
Congratulations 🎉
Glad to see this got Top Story, Angela! Hope it increases interest and the amount of entries you get! :) Well done!
