Condorcet Album Poll: 1999 - Final Results Available

Update: The poll is now closed. For 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 1999, ranked #3 in that poll.

This shouldn’t take much time to complete. Only eleven 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 9, 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.

There were a clump of them that was hard to choose from as the best, but there are definitely a few that I knew were going to the bottom.

Great album, though!
