Finally, officially closed. SORRY DUDES. Tallying starts now.

EDIT: Though if Matt would like to turn his list into an actual top ten then I'll give him time to do that because his is just an orderless list of over ten names.

[GoGo Yubari]

HELLO WORLD. Remember this? I didn't. Basically, I got about halfway through tallying the votes and then work started hitting me hard and I forgot, and I only realized it a couple days ago when

To be honest, it's been too long and the results are too thin to merit a full thing. I switched to the tallying method where you multiply by number of ballots just to get a top 30 (it didn't change the winner at all). Also, for the sake of transparency; I didn't bother with one of the ballots because my options when someone lists "in no particular order" is that either I order them myself or disregard (which is pretty much the risk you take when you outright don't follow the format of the way these things have always worked), and I was in a hurry to finish this.

So, behind the cut, the results of EWB's Favorite Singer IV!
