Any Comments about this chart?

 

 

 

Is this based on total votes over the year? I think it must be. There was MASSIVE hype about BBYD at the time, even if it was very, very average. If it had been a recent poll then it would have limped in at about 11.

 

Comments? It is a very boring, obvious and teenage-male chart.
