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...
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
