All I want for Chistmas is no longer Mariah Carey

[k6ccc]

Mariah has been displaced as the most requested song this year.

I have run MIIP for quite a few years which for those not familiar with BobO's great add on, allows your viewers to request that songs in your playlist be played either sooner or later.  One of the features of the MIIP client is that it gives the show owner statistics on among other things, the number of times that each sequence has played and how many votes that song has received.  This year I added the song voting stats to my show website so that anyone can see which songs are getting the most votes.

In years past, Mariah has consistently held the #1 spot every year.  Mr. Grinch has always held the number 2 spot.  Here's the numbers as of 24 Dec....

Song title	Artist	Votes up / down
You're a Mean one Mr. Grinch	Burl Ives	49  /  0
Feliz Navidad	Jose Feliciano	39  /  0
All I Want for Christmas is You	Mariah Carey	38  /  0

That list is fascinating!   I myself would put most of these songs above Maria Carey's.   Before I will sequence a song, I have to like the song since I will be listening to it many many times over and over.  I just don't think I could do that song, just like I couldn't do Wham's "Last Christmas".   I like Feliz Navidad and have it in my list, but I wouldn't have guess it would be so high on the list.  I imagine a poll like this comes in handy from year to year in order to know what to take out and replace with new in order to keep the show below potentially several hours.

Bobs MIIP program is free and keeps track of which songs get bumped up in the que by onlookers. It is a really great program to use and yes, it allows you to decide to pull a song out of your shows playlist at any moment. It does so much more that what you can see by the poll shown above.
