While collating the results, I would (obviously) sort on the votes, descending, and The Classical was away in front by about half-way through.
Then other tracks started catching up, almost inpereptively, until the very last ballot, at which point "Totally Wired" sneaked in by one point, and I was like "Whoa?"
Yes, it's nobody's favorite (apart from Brix), but it did get the most individual votes.
So, hey.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 12:42 (eleven years ago) link
Interesting that it was the only track with a clear (though still fairly slender) majority of folks voting for it.
Only real surprise in top 10 for me: had no idea "New Puritan" was so popular!
Thanks for your work, Mark!
