I guess this is the same as the cranky Member getting all upset when the Jets get 20k crowds as opposed to the 7k true believers out there.

Also, you forgot to put an asterix next to 'popularity contest'


And whilst i def dont listen to as much JJJ as i used to, its amazing how streaming services can steer you towards and away from ceetain music.

I spend on average 2 hours a day in the car and have music playing at work all day. Yet i still never came across that song or artist until yesterday.

And id def be shocked if the people voting in the hottest 100 are anywhere near regular or heavy listeners of JJJ.

its become a trendy thing to be involved in, and even trendier to let everyone know what you voted for. (Its always been cool oneway ortheother though).

The last time real JJJ listeners got their say they used to vote Joy Division as the winner every year thats when they changed the rules.
