Pop Open Group D RESULTS

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

As before I'll be updating the results regularly over the afternoon. It was VERY close, though with a clear winner. Top three go through.

First Place - "Stripper Friends" by Aimee Allen. 9 first-place votes. 31% of total points. piratemoggy wins and goes into the Noughties group for Round 2.

Second Place - "Loving Pauper" by Gregory Isaacs. 5 first-place votes. 21% of total points. martinskidmore qualifies and is put into the Fifties And Before group for Round 2.

Third Place - "Equal Share" by Lutan Fyah. 5 first-place votes. 17% of total points. byebyepride qualifies on # of first-place votes and is put into the Eighties group for Round 2.

Fourth Place - "Making Money" by Elephant Man. 4 first-place votes. 17% of total points. boyofbadgers is OUT.

Fifth Place - "Dollar Sign" by Sticky ft Lady Stush. 3 first-place votes. 15% of total points. dubdobdee is OUT.

What this means is that piratemoggy gets to choose which Round 2 group she is in (out of Noughties, Nineties, Eighties, Seventies, Sixties and Fifties & Before) and which the third-placed qualifier (byebyepride) is in.

I fear anguish in my future! Depends how many people hadn't heard Stush before, judging by how things stand now.

Through by a squeak on # of first-place votes.

blimey!

It's nice to know that one's vote counts. That's the second week in a row I think where it made all the diff.

Of course I'd rather more Poptimists overall were voting...

One step at a time!

Up to 26, plus I know a handful of possible voters were at Glasto, so I'm hopeful of 30 on Injustice. (Though the zipfile is much bigger this week, lots of 320 kbps rips).

My top two = the voters' bottom two! :(

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Well Stush would have been my top pick easily, if I hadn't heard it before.

Ironically I think it was giving my No 2 vote to Lutan rather than Aimee or Gregory - which was pretty close - that sent poor Ele home!

If I had entered a no. 2 place vote for Elephant Man, what would have happened? Would I have still gone through on no. 1 votes, even though EM would have a higher %age points?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

No, you'd have been out. It's %age first, then # of first place votes, THEN who got their track in first.

ha! my tactics paid off.
