My nom history:

Spoiler:

Week 31: Battle Garegga Perfect Soundtrack - Megalomaniac - 8th place
After the results of this week, I knew I would fit into the cliques of Gamingforce quite nicely

Week 36: Power Rangers Zeo - Battle Racers (Game Rip) - City Circut - 4th place
"THIS IS THE WORST WEEK EVER YOU'RE NOT HELPING"

Week 41: ZUNTATA HISTORY L'ab-normal 2nd - Dandy Lady (Super Chase) - 3rd place
This YACK Track did rather well in a highly acclaimed week.

Week 46: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Movie (SNES Game Rip) - Energy Generator Lab (Stage 5) - 3rd place
Still much better than Artic Circle D Point

Week 51: Armed Police Batrider (Game Rip) - Stage 5 Chasing Gang's Need Speed - 5th place
My first Stage 5 theme. A legacy (a kid and silly proclamations) was born here.

Week 54: Spanky's Quest (SNES Game Rip) - Ruins - 2nd Place
Stage 5 theme. 2nd place! Awesome, this tune and I go way back.

Week 57: BORDER DOWN Sound Tracks Vol.2 - Go Ahead (Stage 5) - 3rd Place
Stage 5 theme. Lost to my two least favorites of the week, go figure.

Week 61: Arc Hound (Game Rip) - Stage 5 - 6th Place
Stage 5 theme. Shortunes are awesome.

Week 64: Pop'n Twinbee - Graffiti - Sky Avenue (Stage 5 BGM) - 7th Place
Stage 5 theme. Man for a short period of time I seriously thought Pop'n Twinbee had the greatest soundtrack of all time.

Week 66: ChaosField Sound Track - spray -boss- - 6th Place
My forced entry into Percussion week because people keep secrets from me. Looking back, I wish I gave 3 points to Ruthless, it really is superior.

Week 72: Metal Slug ~Complete Sound BOX~ - Cliff and Cave (Mission 1-2) - 2nd place
My first tune nominated with the sole intention of winning. The fact that it is one of my favorites from that year is not even relevant. I WILL WIN WEEK 72 (My nom did not win by only a couple points, at least this is still my best performing track)

Week 75: Hotdog Storm (Game Rip) - Stage 5 - 3rd place
Stage 5 theme. Also <33333333333

Week 78: Phalanx - The Enforce Fighter A-144 (SNES Game Rip) - Underwater (Stage 2) - 8th place
My second I WILL WIN nom. Still depressing.

Week 83: SILENT SCOPE TRILOGY Original Soundtrack - SUPREME 4th place
My first non-in-game tune. Did much better than I thought, this is some hardcore stuff.

Week 86: Great Maho Daisakusen Original Soundtrack - THUNDER STORM~ Stage 5 - 4th place
Stage 5 theme. Excellent track, did alright. Almost everyone found it odd.

Week 89: Klonoa of the Wind 2 ~ Something Forgotten Wished by the World Original Soundtrack - Going to Lunatea - The Sea of Tears (After Polly's Entry) - 6th place
Only nom that's not truly mine, but damn impressive nonetheless.

Week 93: Knytt (Game Rip) - Tutorial Music - 5th place
360+ minutes of playtime and counting. One of my more daring noms with pleasing results.

Week 96: Raystorm - LUMINESCENCE (Area 5) - full take - 6th place
Stage 5 theme. Absolutely brilliant, but trumped by one song I thought was even better. That Top Gear track placed higher than this which makes no sense whatsoever.

Week 100: five musicians 8080 - Search for the Lost Riff - 3rd place
I discovered this tune sometime during week 80 and was already planning my victory speech. It didn't win.

Week 102: ~Welcome to the Karuland~ PUZZLE BOBBLE - GEKIRINDAN etc. - WHAT'S INSIDE (BGM 5 - A.D. 4580) - 3rd place
Stage 5 theme. Pleasantly surprised by this result, I expected this one to bomb, and almost decided on not going through with this in the first place.

Week 104: Contra Spirits (Contra III: The Alien Wars) - Hell Messenger (Stage 5) - 6th place
Stage 5 theme. With Contra 4 coming out, I found myself hooked on the classic contras in preparation. Playing Contra III again reminded me how the soundtrack, and this track specifically, rocks like no other.

Week 107: Bugs Bunny - Rabbit Rampage (Game Rip) - Things That Go Bugs In The Night - 7th place
A delicious SNES Jazz (read: Jazz, not Jazzy) nom I've been wanting to nominate since the beginning, it is unfortunate that it found it's way into THE GREATEST WEEK OF ALL TIME.

Week 109: SILENT SCOPE TRILOGY Original Soundtrack - The Fly -Valley- - 8th place
As a testament to the soundtrack's awesomeness, this marks the first time I nominated a second track from an album/game rip. This actually appeared much earlier than Supreme in my consideration list.

Week 112: Zed Blade (Game Rip) - Universe Blue (yueez MIX) (Stage 2 & 5) - 2nd place
Stage 5 theme, sort of. An absolute gem from one of Namiki's earlier works. Amazed at how well it did in this also great week.

Week 115: 19XX The War Against Destiny Capcom Sound Track - City Light in the Black Straight (Mission 5) - 6th place
Stage 5 theme. This song is divided into 2 parts to fit the gameplay. I prefer the monstrous part 2 over the first, though you would've heard a different opinion if you asked me a few years back. Both kick ass.

Week 118: Battle Garegga Perfect Sound Track - Subversive Awareness (Stage5 – Cloud) - 5th place
Legendary Namiki track. I have yet to, and would rather not, rank my noms in order, but this would be somewhere at the very top. Week was sick, too, but very little can deter me from giving this 3 points.

Week 120: Zero Gunner 2 (Game Rip) - Aerial Capital (Stage 7 part 1) 5th place?!
One response shattered every possible expectation of everything known to mankind, making this my best nom ever. Gaining 8 points in the last minute and jumping up 2 places in the ranking made me realize that we need more voters.

Week ???: ???

Total Nom Count: 27
In-Game Music: 25
Arrange: 0
Concept/Original: 2

Average Placement: 4.81th place. Still goldless, but not complaining.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've updated my stats up to week 120. Nothing too notable, results as somewhat unpredictable as ever.

How ya doing, buddy?
