Well, it was strange. We had 649 votes for 191 different songs - all that means is that it didn't take many votes for a song to get into the Top-10 (i.e. 2), though given the vagaries of the system one song got three votes and isn't featured in the countdown (as they were all fifth place votes). Don't blame me - it's AZ's bright idea of a system.
Any hooo.
Right, democratically everyone who voted got a first choice song into the Top-50, so the cut off point was 5-votes and songs from #44 to #13, in no particular order (though Excel may have alphabetised it) are:
