The Top Of The List
Only one can be there at a time.
What does it cost and is it worth it?
When American Idol first started, me and a bunch of friends went and tried out. We tried out because we wanted to win.
But as the season after season went along and we heard about the contracts and obligations that came along with winning, it became very clear that the winner wasn’t the winner at all.
There’s a high price for number one…on this chart, that chart, this list, that poll, metrics metrics metrics. If you want to be on the top of the list, choose your list wisely.
Or make your own.
