Vote Distribution:
Now here is the close call, 4Minute won with Volume Up! Surprise, surprise!
Probably helped Big Bang having 2 listed songs and therefore voting was divided among them. Maybe the same happened with 9 Muses.
I suspect if instead of Library for TTS I chose a second song for TTS, the same would happen. But TTS would have a song on top 5 anyways if only one song had been chosen.
"Lips" below "Like This"?...
You can check in Special Mentions what a free form would result, many songs were mentioned, voting would be even more distributed. Other options would be having an even bigger list of songs...
Some rants:
"Bad Boy should be best song"
"Brave Girls: Nowadays You would be my real 3rd best song if it was on the list."
