Donald Trump was your first alternate last year. I’ll put him into the 2022 pool for you.
That’s great. Thanks.
Any reason you haven’t done Vicente Fernandez?
I didn’t know anyone had him. I’ll update soon.

Vicente Fernandez: DEAD!
Fernandez was a Mexican singer, actor, and film producer. Nicknamed ““Chente””, ““El Charro de Huentitán”” , ““El Ídolo de México”” and ““El Rey de la Música Ranchera””, Fernández started his career as a busker, and went on to become a cultural icon, having recorded more than 50 albums and contributing to more than 30 films. His repertoire consisted of rancheras and other Mexican classics.
Fernández’s work earned him three Grammy Awards, nine Latin Grammy Awards, fourteen Lo Nuestro Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He sold over 50 million copies worldwide, making him one of the best-selling regional Mexican artists of all time. In 2016, Fernández retired from performing live, although he continued to record and publish music. He died December 12 at age 81."

Go to the alts if you still have them
Highest ranked dead alt wins
One year we had a tiebreaker for the caption thread. That didn’t go over well.
I’m OK with being co-champ, but ISTR that several years ago there was a tie-breaking rule. I don’t remember whether it was “number of hits, then number of uniques, then number of tragics”, or some other order of precedence.
It was order that entry was received
