I'm with Lex (why should something not liked by so many from a larger voting set be ranked higher?), though possibly some compromise is even better - %age times number of votes?

As for Crazy, it was my third or fourth favourite single of the year (and much my favourite TOTP moment)(and my favourite chart single of the year - Marit Larsen didn't crack the top 40), so it's by no means merely okay by everyone.

'why should something not liked by so many from a larger voting set be ranked higher?'

it's a bit like when a team from one champions league group qualifies with 7 points but a team in another group fails to qualify with 8 points...

with hindsight, i should not have put them in blocks.
