From the graph I can see the peak (Now 8) and the trough (Now 4). What is the favourite song on Now 8 and the least favourite song on Now 4?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Top song on now 8 - Walk This Way
Bottom song on now 4 - Eugene Wilde - Gotta Get You Home With Me Tonight

*drumroll* Will Run DMC retain their position as Average Top of the Nows? Could anything possibly be worse than Eugene Wilde? STAY TUNED for the next grillion Poptimist posts!

I am confused by the country stats. Do duets between a Brit and a Yank count as both, or something like that?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I just left them out.

I was wondering how you got to about 112%

Oh no, what we're looking at is the average rating given - not the total. Oops!
