Scoring was complicated(-ish).

Email votes: A sliding scale of 5 points for a number 1 choice.... down to 1 point for a number 5 choice. If no preference was expressed, they all got 3 points.

Earworms: I catalogued these and scored them on a sliding scale of 5 points for a number one all the way down to 0.5 of a point for a number 10. Again, if no preference was expressed, they all got three points.

This year I counted all of my own Earworm choices as well as those of the Guest Editors.... which explains things like Scott Walker, Sufjan Stevens and Billy Joel.

For the record, "Crazy" got 29.5 points. It was a pretty resounding victory really as second place scored 14.5.

Any mistakes in the scoring are all my fault. Any mistakes in the rankings above are down to Excel.

See you next year!
