Since we're discussing the presentation format (and if there will be a fans section) how about presenting all fans instead of the biggest fan(s) for songs with, say, 5 or less voters? If this requires more work then forget about it, but perhaps it is actually more work to find the biggest fans then...

Thanks so much, DaveC!

Sweepstakes Ron

Ultimately, fairly expected results. "Think For Yourself" once again gets screwed over...

Sweepstakes Ron

I have a small way you guys can help me out: Nicolas and jamieW are the only ones whose lists I have yet to scan for any duplicate entries. If anyone could look at those two lists for me and point out any duplicates that might exist, that would be excellent.

If you need a way to kill time before the rollout begins, I'd suggest checking out the individual lists. There's a lot to discover in them... believe me, there is a lot.

I'm very glad you got your list in! But I still have to be upfront about these duplicates... How do you wish to deal with them?

Is this video from the most recent list?

Yes, it is! I made it myself, in fact. But I'm definitely not making one for this year. Anyone else is welcome to take up the task.

I hate to interrupt your triumphant return, but... you put in a duplicate here. It's okay, you're far from the only one (no pun intended) who's done this.

The deadlines already passed, really. I'm basically just waiting for Dan. But it will still take several weeks before the results are ready.

Sweepstakes Ron

The plan is for the rollout to show the top 2000. After the rollout ends, I will share the complete spreadsheet, so you can view all the data and manipulate it however you please.

Sweepstakes Ron

OK...I know I said I wouldn't edit my list anymore, and I haven't but...I just realized I forgot to put Running Up That Hill on my list, and that's an all-time favorite of mine. Is there any way I can squeeze it in if you've already added it to the spreadsheets? If it's too much of a hassle I'll ju...

Crap, I missed. Though it wouldn't have affected the round's outcome anyway, so fair enough.

If there's are duplicates just delete the later one and move everything else up. Thanks! There are, indeed, some duplicates, though I haven't found them all yet. Would you like to come up with several "reserve" songs to fill out the remaining spots to keep your list at 1000? Just curious:...

Okay, I was going to keep this a secret, but since everyone is still grieving, I'll just let it out... I was going to add Gillingham's list anyways. I mean, I wasn't lying to you – I decided this after I had made my initial decision. Gillingham told me I shouldn't make an exception for him just beca...

Thanks for giving me a bit of extra time to finish my list, Sweepstakes Ron. But unfortunately I find myself in the same position as Father2TheMan - I'm just not going to be able to submit a list today. After a busy couple of months, I've spent this weekend being a list zombie in the hope that I co...

Sweepstakes Ron

Oh yeah, one more thing: I haven’t scanned a lot of the most recent lists for errors or duplicates yet. So keep an eye on your inbox just in case.

Sweepstakes Ron

And with that, THE POLL IS FINALLY OVER! Of course, some people still having late lists coming in. The hard deadline will be signified by me posting a list of everyone whose list was submitted (after I add them all into the spreadsheet). This will be followed by a long, arduous period of double chec...

^Gillingham hadn't noticed the minimum rule until after he'd posted that, and so he sent me a message saying that, unfortunately, he is unable to expand his list.
