You might actually want to put an * next to the Kim mentions seeing as he said he was going to try and get her for that track, but the newer information makes no mention of her and if they got her she would probably be getting hyped.
In regards to a Vital, yeah. However, people can bump it from time to time to keep it at least on the front page. Not as easy or good as a Vital but it could still allowed the thread to do some good.
