I’m randomising my main from three doomed single picks. One of those also has a purple, so probably not that one. (I like how poll discourse has evolved to the point where comments must appear encrypted to anyone not playing)
I don’t know how much can be derived from the number of picks (since some songs were safe very early) but it could easily be a lot closer than people imagine
Pitting the songs against each other changes things — I also bet there are more anti-Babe votes than anti-likely runners up (but prob not enough to make a difference)
Comments
I cannot imagine everyone here just ignoring all the purples, and someone sending a list may have already mained it (or other purples) in advance.
E.g. the choice for me is Bob Vylan or a purple.
In all honesty I expected to be maining the amapiano or possibly 'Mum', so now I feel like I have a free shot.
(I also think... you know what you said in the pub about 'Teardrop' in 1998... that, more than any other January poll)
