The count is totally wrong. Dangerous cannot be Nr. 2 !!! 1 week wasn’t enough to get the counts right?

Listen To Your Heart: 10 votes as Nr 1, 2 Votes as Nr. 2
Spending My Time: 8 votes as Nr. 1, 1 Vote as Nr. 2
Sleeping In My Car: 6 Votes as Nr. 1, 8 Votes as Nr. 2
Wish I Could Fly: 5 Votes as Nr. 1, 4 Votes as Nr. 2

Robbie, I think that’s the problem. I didn’t vote as Nr. 1, Nr. 2 or Nr. 3. I just voted for the 3 favourite songs from each album, in no particular order. The rules didn’t say anything about it, so I suppose everybody voted randomly (exactly like me).
The votes should be counted in total, the order the people mentioned the songs don’t count at all.

It seems that the voting has a few people confused. I thought it was obvious that you’d be voting with songs in order ie number 1 was your first choice, 2 was second etc. Clearly this wasn’t the case. I don’t have the votes here with me at the moment, but if you ask Robbie, I’m sure he has them already. He can give you the ’correct’ results I’m sure.

Well,there are dozens of great songs to choose from.Like myself,there are many fans who like some of the ones that didn’t chart,the best.First girl on the moon and June Afternoon(demo) are up there,for me. Songs like The Rain, Heart Shaped Sea and Make My Head Go Pop are great too...There are just so many! Best song shouldn’t neccessarily mean-the biggest seller.Would love Per and Marie to release a live Album,I’m sure they would have enough material in the archives,i know there are a few bootleggish types floating around,from time to time but a PROPER one would be the Duck’s Guts!!!

As I understood there have been more categories to vote for.
In details: first we voted for the best song from each Rox album and then the Nr.1, 2, 3 songs out of each album qualified for the Best Roxette Song Ever Category. And in this category you can see the correct results above.
Simple as it is!

Umm...
No way is that the best song. I could personally name ten of their b-sides, which, in my opinion, are fare more superior.
It’s commercial success shouldn’t really count, should it? It’s too obvious...

Interesting results. I counted too, couldn’t resist, LTYH is indeed a winner, though I hoped so much for WICF or SIMC to win. Btw I voted for top3 songs from each album, that is Nr.1, Nr. 2 ,Nr. 3

Alright... but what’s this doing on the front page?
AURYTE said on March 21, 2008 18:27:
Listen To Your Heart used to be my favourite Roxette song. Now, I think, I’d say that it is Dressed For Success, Dangerous or Sleeping In My Car. It seems I’m getting more crazy with the years LOL
@pwbbounce: thank you very much for organizing this voting :)
@ChrisWilliams: it was said from the begining that the winner will be published on the frontpage!
