poptimists | POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: The Also-Rans

The wait is over: THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE tracks were mentioned in the votes for the Poptimists 2009 poll, and EIGHTY FIVE!!! of them got more than one vote. Today I'll be covering off the ones outside the Top 50 (so, erm, in the top 85) and for the rest of the week you'll be finding out answers to the crucial questions - what won? who got shafted by vote-splitting? WHERE DID "MY GIRLS" PLACE? And so on.

So here's 85-61. They don't get video links but if you love one of these tracks link it up in the comments, eh?

Top 20s were scored as follows: 25-20-18-17-16..down to 1. Tracks are ordered based on 1. No. of points received, 2. No. of voters (higher=better), 3. Highest individual placing. Where two mixes were nominated points were combined and the highest voted mix declared the 'official' placing though alternatives will be linked in the countdown. That's it I think.
