The Tanita Tikaram Song Poll

The final results

 

Here is the result from the Tanita Tikaram Song Poll (12th September - 31st December 1998).

The total of 23 persons voted. Lots of thanks to all of you!!!

 

First - a short repetition of the rules...

You were suppose to give points to 89 different Tanita Tikaram songs (or as many as you knew...).

The points were to be given with respect to Tanita Tikaram’s songs. If you thought the song was an average Tanita song you gave it 4-5 points. The songs you thought were better than an average Tanita song you gave higher points (6-8). And consequently - the songs you think was below an average Tanita song you gave lower points (0-3).

8 point is the maximum point to give a song and 0 point is the minimum.

You could give points to as many songs as you wished. If you don’t knew the song, you marked it with "No opinion".

 

The final result and how the points was calculated...

  1. The Grand Total List - Songs - the song with highest total amount of points is ranked as number one etc. If two or more songs have the same Grand Total - the song with the least number of votes will rank first.

  2. The Average List - Songs - the song with the highest average point is ranked as number one etc. The average for a song is calculated as the grand total divided by number of votes. Points 0-8 is regarded as a vote, while "No option" is not. To prevent a song come top with only a few person voting for it - the song must have points from at least 50% of the votes (i.e. 12 votes). If two or more songs have the same arithmetic average they are rank equally.

  3. The Grand Total List - Albums - The grand total for each song of the albums is added together - and divided by the total number of songs on the album. The album with the highest point is ranked as number one etc.

  4. The Average List - Albums - The average points for each song of the albums is added together - and divided by the total number of songs on the album. The album with the highest point is ranked as number one etc.
