Throwing all my support behind a Roger Sanchez win! wub.gif My favourite song of all-time.

I'd expect nothing less than a 'Bad Romance' or 'Toxic' win but both are amazing so I would be okay with that.

Total Votes: 9
Average Score per Vote: 6.44 [7th]
Highest Score: 10 (Taylor Jago)


Another early winner next, the winner of 40, Teardrop. Much like Toca's Miracle, it was an infrequent yet high impact scoring track, ending in 7th in the average score table. It edged ahead of the aforementioned song due to picking up 1 more vote.

13. Spice Girls - Wannabe




Total Score: 59
Total Votes: 13
Average Score per Vote: 4.54 [18th]
Highest Score: 10 (vibe)


Next out is in fact the earliest song of all to feature in the final. Winner of Now 34, Wannabe was an early leading contender but it's votes & therefore score dried up in the mid to late stages.

11. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone




Total Score: 61
Total Votes: 14
Average Score per Vote: 4.36 [21st]
Highest Score: 10 (Ultraviolence1989)


Just missing the top 10 is the Now 62 champion, Since U Been Gone. In contrast to the previous track it was a very frequent scorer, picking up exactly half of the total entrants' votes but ended 4th last in average scorers chart thus meaning it just falls short of the elite bracket.
