Results of my 2003 group survey



Wow! This year, I annoyed 71 people enough to cast votes. (Once again, just to fool you into thinking it was an honest contest, I didn't vote myself.) For those of you with short memories, I asked for up to 10 favorite songs, in order, for any or all of these 5 groups:
  1. Cadillacs
  2. Arthur Lee Maye & Crowns
  3. Heartbeats
  4. Spiders
When the dust settled, the Heartbeats were the clear winners, garnering first, second, and third place in terms of overall votes.

So here are the results. But first, the boring statistics:

The top 10 vote-getters:
  1. Crazy For You - Heartbeats - 407 points
  2. A Thousand Miles Away - Heartbeats - 404 points
  3. Your Way - Heartbeats - 403 points
  4. Gloria - Cadillacs - 390 points
  5. Witchcraft - Spiders - 359 points
  6. Bells In My Heart - Spiders - 349 points
  7. Gloria - Arthur Lee Maye & Crowns - 346 points
  8. Love Me Always - Arthur Lee Maye & Crowns - 330 points
  9. I Didn't Want To Do It - Spiders - 329 points
  10. This Is The Night For Love - Arthur Lee Maye & Crowns - 324 points
The best showing for a song that got NO number 1 votes was "One Day Next Year" by the Heartbeats (124 points).

Loads of songs got votes in each position, so this year I'm not gonna list them.

And now, without too much further delay: THE RESULTS (Ta-Da!). I assigned a weight to each vote - 10 points for #1; 9 points for #2; etc.

The results appear below.
