The Semi-Finals is over.

Now, it's time for the two-part finale!

For Track of the Year, here is the link: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58337

- 2007 Limited Track of the Year - finals

1. Finals - Part 1 (aka. Longlist) (December 12-15) - Similar to the LOVE/HATE poll, the ten songs will compete in a poll where BJ users decide which of the ten songs they love and hate. The five songs with the highest overall votes will advance to the Part 2 of the Finals.

2. Finals - Part 2 (aka. Final/Official Nominees) (December 16-20) - The final five songs will compete in a poll and the song with the most votes will be titled "2007 Limited Track of the Year".

The Results - Total Votes: 53, as of 11:30pm, December 11 - NOT TAKING ANYMORE VOTES AFTERWARDS AS SEMI-FINALS IS CLOSED:

Group 1:

Top 5 (advancing to Part 1 of the Finals - Longlist: 3 clear longlist finalists, 2 decided by a tie-break) -

1st. Kelis - Lil' Star - [ 8 ]

2nd= Mutya Buena – Real Girl - [ 7 ]

2nd= Maximo Park - Our Velocity - [ 7 ]

4th (after the tie-break)= Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough - [ 6 ]

4th (after the tie-break)= Robyn - Handle Me - [ 6 ]

There are three songs tied at fourth place, these are:

4th= Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough - [ 6 ]

4th= Melanie C - Carolyna - [ 6 ]

4th= Robyn - Handle Me - [ 6 ]

Two songs will advance to the next round and one song will be eliminated. Here is how the tie-break happened.

Firstly, I have looked at the result from the previous poll (Pre-Semi Finals) and seen how many votes each song has received.

Robyn - Handle Me - 8 votes

Melanie C - Carolyna - 7 votes

Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough - 7 votes

So, Robyn having the most votes amongst the three will go to the next round. Then, we are left with Melanie C and Manic Street Preachers. Because they had the same number of votes also from the Pre-Semis, I have decided to look at their runs on the UK singles chart, as both songs have charted before, and these are:

Melanie C - Carolyna - {49} -> 1 week, peaking at number 49.

Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough - 26-{2}-8-16-16-27-33-44-68-67 -> 10 weeks, peaking at number 2.

So, because Manic Street Preachers have spent in the charts longer (and also have a better peak position) than Melanie C, it has been decided that Manic Street Preachers will be the second song to go to the next round. Melanie C is eliminated.

Eliminated song (after the tie-break) -

4th= Melanie C - Carolyna - [ 6 ]

Other eliminated songs (in order of appearance at the poll) -

Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder - [ 4 ]

Rihanna ft. Ne-Yo – Hate That I Love You - [ 5 ]

Mark Ronson f/ Lily Allen - Oh My God - [ 0 ]

Kanye West - Stronger - [ 4 ]

Group 2:

Top 5 (advancing to Part 1 of the Finals - Longlist: 4 clear longlist finalists, 1 decided by a tie-break) -

1st. Aly & AJ - Potential Breakup Song - [ 11 ]

2nd= Shayne Ward – No U Hang Up / If That’s OK With You (Double A-side) - [ 7 ]

2nd= Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend - [ 7 ]

4th. Nelly Furtado - Do It - [ 6 ]

5th (after the tie-break). Mika - Happy Ending - [ 5 ]

There are two songs tied at fifth place, these are:

5th= The Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet - [ 5 ]

5th= Mika - Happy Ending - [ 5 ]

Again, I have looked at the result from the previous poll (Pre-Semi Finals) and seen how many votes each song has received.

The Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet - 5 votes

Mika - Happy Ending - 8 votes

So, because Mika has received more votes than The Klaxons in the Pre-Semi Finals, it has been decided that Mika will go to the next round.

Eliminated song (after the tie-break) -

5th= The Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet - [ 5 ]

Other eliminated songs (in order of appearance at the poll) -

Just Jack - Starz in their Eyes - [ 4 ]

Feist - 1234 - [ 4 ]

Scissor Sisters - She's My Man - [ 0 ]

The White Stripes - Icky Thump - [ 4 ]

So, this is the longlist of ten songs for 2007 Limited Track of the Year (The Top 5 songs with the highest Overall Score will advance to the Official Nominees Round):

Kelis - Lil' Star

Mutya Buena – Real Girl

Maximo Park - Our Velocity

Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough

Robyn - Handle Me

Aly & AJ - Potential Breakup Song

Shayne Ward – No U Hang Up / If That’s OK With You (Double A-side)

Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend

Nelly Furtado - Do It

Mika - Happy Ending

In this round, you vote for ONE song which deserves to be in the Official Nominees (the LOVE poll) and ONE song which does NOT deserve to be there (the HATE poll). Alternatively, it's like LOVE/HATE poll. The final score will be decided by this equation: LOVE votes - HATE votes = Overall Score. The Top 5 songs with the highest Overall Score will advance to the final round, which is the Official Nominees Round (Part 2 of the Finals).

OK now, VOTE!
