Anyone who wanted to see this probably crunched the numbers long ago but I was interested to find out, so here's the 2010-16 counterpart of Nick's AM vs EOD analysis: 10. Caribou - Swim (#214) 6.

Mad respect for "Happy Birthday Johnny" The song is kinda about me. I wrote about the magic of the number 23 online. And the line on the song is: "Happy new year, Johnny, Is it 23?" And to anyone saying it's a stretch, well, what does that line mean if it's not a reference to me? Genius has several...

Updated my list!
Acroamor, do you have a formula decided yet, out of curiosity?

I've been using one that I'm not satisfied with just to experiment with, but I'll be trying some more out in the near future.

I actually ran an album cover poll once upon a time, which you can see the results of here. That being said, I'd be thrilled to something like it happen again. I'd imagine the results would be wildly different five years later. I'm also curious how using a tournament format would fare as opposed to ...

It's interesting to look at everyone else's predict-it brackets. It seems like almost every single one has the same match-up for Game 100 - The Archandroid versus Have You In My Wilderness, and almost 70% of the predicted brackets has one of those two taking the crown! Doing some quick math, that wo...

It is remarkable how much 2014 sticks out here. The more recent years I'd imagine have some degree of bias against them, but 2014 feels like it should be doing better? And then I look at its crop of songs versus other years and am forced to agree.

Both are damn near wretched, in my opinion

I'm choosing to believe this usage of wretched is like when people used "that's so bad" to mean "good".

Just so you know, acroamor, it might be good for you to just remove my list from the rankings as of right now. It will likely change to a very drastic extent, not just like me changing around a few places but me starting from scratch. Oh, I figure everyone will be changing there's drastically. This...

And now, here's the final copy of the spreadsheet. Feel free to experiment with it however you might like.

I accidentally listed Titanic Rising as my number 17 song when it was supposed to be Everyday. I think this would have probably moved it above Purple Mountains. I'll try to be more careful next year.

So for this sort of the list, I'm borrowing an idea from the Pazz and Jop poll (RIP). They dubbed it "Enthusiasm", and it's calculated by dividing the total number of points a song received by the number of people who voted for it. This allows you to see the divide between High Enthusiasm - songs th...

Nice job with the rollout, acroamor! This is a fantastic top 15. What was the formula used?
