[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Here's the top 50 of the year, worked out by a complicated formula involving the number of votes each song got and its percentage of the total vote for that week. Er, complicated in that I just timesed them together and multiplied by 100? Anyway I've kept all the figures in there (votes / percentage / score) so you can make your own minds up.
