among the best.....of the last?

[minnie2007]

Is it grammatically correct to say:

Competition among the best fifty songs of the last thirty years
?

[dotkura]

no, verb is missing here. it's just a phrase not a sentence.

[minnie2007]

and which verb should I use? Thanks

[Anglika]

That will depend on what you are trying to say. Competition is fierce/Competition became fierce/Competition was fierce/Competition grew fierce/Competition has been fierce

Or There has been competition/There was competition

Your choice!

[Casiopea]

no, verb is missing here. it's just a phrase not a sentence.

Correction
No verb, not no, verb.
It's a phrase, not a sentence.
