My fave statistic by Glenn McDonald, not just because I’m listed at at #1!*

Thought it might be interesting to list the artists that the people tied for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place have voted for since 2008. (One issue with statistic is that it’s just a count over time, meaning people who started voting after 2008 aren’t eligible.

I was surprised I was so high, but I see this was partly owing to Glenn’s creating his list mechanically without eyeballing it: by counting “featurings” as separate artists (so Ke$ha and Ke$ha ft. 3OH!3 are separate artists) he surely jacks up the scores of those of us who veer towards pop, dance, hip-hop, and r&b at the expense of those who go rock and indie. He missed that I had multiple Ke$has and Buraka Som Sistemas, and if you count the featured artists as individual artists themselves (e.g. Bobby Brackins ft. Dev is a vote for both Dev and Bobby as individuals rather than as an entity), I’ve got multiple Devs and Robyns as well. Of course, if you do that, I’ve actually made 92 choices, not 80. And someone who votes for tracks by DJ Khaled is probably closing in on infinity.

Also think that Chuck has an unfair advantage over me in that he has a policy of not listing an artist on both his singles ballot and his albums ballot in any given year.
