In the competitive ecosystem of League 28, only one specimen could claim dominance. What follows is a document of that struggle.
Narrated by Brian C. · BBC Natural History Unit · Music League Documentary
The competitive ecosystem of League 28 is a place of extraordinary musical pressure. 12 specimens — each possessing their own finely tuned curatorial instincts — have gathered once again to engage in the ancient ritual of point accumulation. We observe from a respectful distance. It came down to a tie at the top.
Shane — the dominant specimen this cycle — has demonstrated the kind of consistent point-gathering that marks a truly exceptional competitor. 76 points. 0 round wins. The runner-up, Eric, trails with 76 points — close enough to apply pressure, but unable to breach the alpha's territory.
"Very familiar with this song... had no idea it who it was."

The specimen's most remarkable display: submitting "Things Can Only Get Better - 2018 Remaster" by Howard Jones — a selection that attracted 15 points from the voting pool. In the natural world, we would call this a perfect mating call. Here, we simply call it the highest score of the league.
In the "Eric's Theme - Sound of the Beast" round, jsexe secured dominance with "Crazy" (11 pts). In the "Carrie's Theme - All You Do To Me Is Talk Talk" round, Carrie secured dominance with "Giorgio by Moroder" (12 pts). In the "Dan's Theme - We’ve had over 3000 songs and I can’t believe no one had played a song by..." round, Eric secured dominance with "Things Can Only Get Better - 2018 Remaster" (15 pts).
The population remained stable — a sign, perhaps, of a well-established social hierarchy.
And so, as the season of League 28 draws to a close, Shane retreats to the apex of the leaderboard — for now. Nature is patient. League 29 will bring new pressures, new selections, new competitors emerging from the depths of their music libraries. We will be watching.
