Here are the results of the 1994 "Best Of Al" Song Poll. Listed are the 123 songs ordered by total points received and including each song's number of Top 20, Top 10, Top 3, Number One, and Bottom 3 votes. An 'x' signifies a half-vote or half-point; a 't' in the rankings column stands for 'tie'.
Note: If you're looking for vote-by-vote results -- e.g., "how many #5 votes did so-and-so receive?" -- you'll want to see Table Two : Song Poll Vote Distribution Table. Song results are broken down into two tables because the America On-Line mailer is notoriously testy about messages with lines of more than 72 characters.
Ties in this table are broken in order of (a) most positive points, (b) most top 20 votes, (c) most top 10 votes, (d) fewest worst votes.
