(Two anonymous ballots were handed in, but I have ruled them out being hers, as neither of them gave a high mark to Avril.)

More (i.e. some) children/teens needed in the postal votes I think! The youngest individual taking part was the Lex, I think. (unless Cis is younger than Lex)

Pretty much everything else clusters between 5 and 7. “Walk This Way” and Same Jeans and maybe Take That (don’t remember how it sounds) would be my only under 5’s. I predict that Poptimist girls like JoJo less than Poptimist boys do but that in larger society this is reversed. High scores for The Gossip are wishful thinking. Not such a bad set of songs, though.

I felt just like Lex must when he listens to the charts.

The best song won. Nelly should have come second. Take That underrated. Tom, can we have a sad kitten with a caption that says “Poptimists, why do you hate Mark Owen?”.

They are false metal.

JoJo was my highest ranked.

Be interesting to look at the stats of the voters, what with the top six songs being female fronted acts. I sthere a pop as feminine issue being developed here?

One “Triffid Farm” (ahem) was the Pop Tart. One “Marcello Carlin” was the Pop Nun.
