The Best Music of the Year
December 2011- November 2012
The Best Music of the Year lists are chosen by Austin Lovelace, Hayley Lovelace, and Chloe Cardwell. Each member makes a list of their ten favorite songs from the past year. Each song receives a certain amount of points; the highest song on their list receives ten points and the lowest song on their list receives one point, and songs in-between are given points respectively. If a song is voted for more than once, it receives an additional point for each time it is voted for. Once all of the lists are finalized, all of the points are added together to create a cumulative score of points. The song with the most points is awarded The Best Song of the Year, and the rest of the songs that earned enough points to place on the list are ranked second through tenth. The album with the most songs on the list is generally awarded The Best Album of the Year.
