Mercurial World already? It was #20 on my list, but I thought it was so popular here that it would get a high ranking regardless. By the looks of it (as despite the high number of top 5s it is in the bottom half), it was quite divisive. It also seems like a small number of very low [#20] places (or...

I'm guessing it isn't that one. I reckon that might be around 5-8.

I'm surprised there is any runaway victor. I have two guesses (probably bad ones) at what it might be... either my #1 (which isn't my own nomination) or my #6.

State of Independence - Donna Summer vs Jon & Vangelis This is the other way around: Jon & Vangelis are the original and Donna Summer has the cover. Did the voter intend the nomination to be for Jon & Vangelis or Donna Summer? If the nominator intended for it to be Jon & Vangelis, t...

On the second topic, a suggestion. How about if the (unique) sing lands in the persons top 200 it gets assigned two numbers rather than one. So the random number selector is twice as likely to get those songs, and there is a bit of a weighting towards those higher in people’s lists, while still a ch...
