Condorcet Album Poll: Parade - Final Results Available

Update: The poll is now closed. For final results click here:

http://www.cs.cornell.edu...thm=runoff

This is the next installment in a series of polls ranking the songs on each album officially released by Prince or O+>. My goal is to determine which tracks should be included in a final poll to determine the overall top 25 Prince songs in the opinion of his fans.

For those of you who haven’t been following my polls, these are different than the usual “best song” threads in that they combine the preferences of all the voters into an overall list.

I am going through these in the same order that they were ranked in my earlier poll of the best Prince albums. Next up is Parade: Music from the Motion Picture Under the Cherry Moon, ranked #4 in that poll.

This shouldn’t take much time to complete. Only twelve songs to rank, and you know all of them. So please vote!

Please don’t discuss the preliminary results or campaign for your favorite song(s) until the poll is closed. I plan to close the poll on June 11, but I may close it early if the preliminary results are discussed on this site. This is to make sure the poll is as accurate as possible.

With 44 votes (thanks!), here are the results. In this case, the songs released as U.S. singles topped the list. I guess they made the right decisions in deciding which songs to release as singles.

Stay tuned for the Dirty Mind poll.

2. Mountains loses to Anotherloverholenyohead by 25–17
3. Kiss loses to Anotherloverholenyohead by 25–18, loses to Mountains by 22–20
4. Girls & Boys loses to Anotherloverholenyohead by 27–16, loses to Kiss by 23–21
5. Sometimes It Snows In April loses to Anotherloverholenyohead by 24–18, loses to Girls & Boys by 24–20

Well, I'm done taking these polls seriously. My favorite Prince song ever comes in at #5, while my pick for worst song on the album makes #1?! I don't understand you people...
