WE'RE EXTENDING THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE TO DECEMBER 14TH TO ENCOURAGE LAST MINUTE SUBMISSIONS, SEE WEBSITE! www.squeezeandthanks.com/onlineaccordioncompetition EASY SONG SELECTION by Matt Lane: I have made a tool at mattlane.co.nz/2022/10/08/squeeze-and-thanks-accordion-competition-songs/ and you and can see the spreadsheet behind it at docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-zjEauT24i524eAme1HYnxXA2e4asKjTTJjem8JmoS8/edit?usp=sharing Please note it only has 1 Jan 2018 - 31 July 2021 I will try to add the other songs when I have time I hope this is helpful for you or your other fans (I have used it to find my song! 😎 ) **Be sure to double check using the Wiki method in this video before committing to song**
Absolutely love to hear the enthusiasm like this, this comment encapsulates this competition ♥️ wishing you the best of luck with your new song, can’t wait to hear what you come up with!
Game on! I've got an accordion and a computer, just had a mic delivered and I'm off! Attempting to get myself recorded well enough, not done anything to do with recording etc since I finished secondary school in 2011! Hopefully someone I know will be nice enough to let me use a camera! Can't wait to see all the others! Harris 🇬🇧
Hey man I like what you do, thats crazy but very useful for young accordion players, I wish u good luck and lots of new creative videos! greetings from Slovakia!
Hey, thanks so much Andrej ❤ I’m really glad you enjoy the videos we’ve put out, I’m grateful for you tuning in and supporting us. I hope you have a great weekend my friend, greetings from Buffalo, NY! 🤝
That's awesome to hear! I've been itching to get going with some lessons myself to try and up my chops, happy to hear you've been making progress with your playing and you're excited to get in on this, can't wait to see what you come up with! ❤
If you'd like to vote in an online accordion competition please be sure to check out RickeySpanglish covering Joji's - " Glimpse of Us " an Accordion Cover. I believe the wails, buzzes, and powerful humms from the accordion goes well with the mental noise and emotions during turbulent times. I tried to recreate the feeling of Joji's original in my cover. Please check it out. Thank You. ua-cam.com/video/WNnWWWVEMNI/v-deo.html
I'll need the participants to include their real name in submission form, however if you have another name you use for social media or anything like that and want to include that in the title, that would be fine
Does anyone have a browsable list of all songs that meet the criteria (a Spotify playlist or even a spreadsheet)? This is super exciting. Like others I don't actually know that many popular songs from the last 5 years
Happy to hear you’re excited Matt, that’s great! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to come across a browsable list myself. Maybe try searching out on UA-cam, “best billboard top 100 songs of [year]” and see what that brings up? Wish I had something compiled but the list could very well go on and on with so many artists just making it in, in like the last 90-100 for only a week or two. There could probably be several hundred if not a thousand or more in a years time. But it would be great if someone stumbles upon the perfect resource for this. Right now, the wiki method seemed to make the most sense… looking forward to hearing what you come up with! Appreciate your involvement with this ❤
Great question! I suppose it doesn’t really matter if it’s the entire song. Obviously, the more the better but if you’re only comfortable with some of it, stick to just that and it’ll be good enough 😊
Would the song "The Wellerman" by Nathan Evans count? It's from 2021 and it's been on a ton of charts it seems, but I can't tell if it's been high enough on the specific Billboard Hot 100, there's a lot of confusing information on the wiki. Love what you're doing here!! I'm excited to enter!
Hey Andrew! I did some research on it just and i’m not seeing anything about this song making it on to the US billboard hot 100. It seems like this was a hit more overseas in Europe but not here in the states… so unfortunately this one won’t make the cut. You can search out “top songs of 2018” or the following years and see what comes up and use those as a way of narrowing it down. Also if there is a mainstream US artist you like, pick a top song from them and try searching out the wiki information on it. Hope you find something you enjoy. Can’t wait to see your submission!
So happy to hear you’re excited brother, hope you have a lot of fun with this and wind up with a new song that you really enjoy playing! Good luck my friend! ❤
glad I read the comments early, if it's gotta be a song from the top 100 in the last 5 years I'll pass :/ that seems pretty restrictive. I don't even play conventional accordion music, I just don't really like mainstream pop stuff. "Wait I saw a good accordion cover of Toxic a while back, maybe I could- oh no wait it's from the last 5 years." RIP my music tastes I guess :p My song backlog is long enough as it is, if I'm gonna learn something new I'd rather just put it towards something on there. Still, neat channel here. I'll check out the other videos, I've had to cobble together something like those accordion charts from scratch. It'd be nice to have a more complete version.
I’m not sure, I’ve sent out emails, put it on my social media and have had others sharing it to promote it… hope it’s not too late for you, the deadline is extended to Dec 14th at midnight!
Thanks Pamela! Hope you find a song you enjoy covering and that you enjoying the learning process. Be sure to use the song selection tool that’s pinned to the comments here at the top of the list, I just updated this recently. It’s also on the webpage of the event too, over 2400 songs organized by the artist’s name so it should be a lot easier to narrow in on one you like using that. Best of luck!! ♥️

About to finish mine, is it alright if I don’t put my real name on the form? Thanks
I'll need the participants to include their real name in submission form, however if you have another name you use for social media or anything like that and want to include that in the title, that would be fine
@@SqueezeandThanks great! Will my real name be mentioned at all if I don’t want it too?
will be sending a video soon
Can’t wait to see it! :)

My sister posted our entry last night. I... think we made it?
does it matter if we play whole song or not?
Great question! I suppose it doesn’t really matter if it’s the entire song. Obviously, the more the better but if you’re only comfortable with some of it, stick to just that and it’ll be good enough 😊

@@SqueezeandThanks Thanks for the response and for clearing that up! The overseas stuff seems to be what I was confused about! I can't wait to submit!
So happy to hear you’re excited brother, hope you have a lot of fun with this and wind up with a new song that you really enjoy playing! Good luck my friend! ❤
Guess I’ll have to learn songs composed by other people besides Yann tiersen. See you all at the finish line bwahahahaha
