      Some of you have asked me how musicians and critics are voting?
Here are these rules. Maybe very simply or complicate.

      All the votes taken in consideration will give the artist or the album a certain amount of points, ranging from 10 to 1 (1st place - 10 points, 10th place - 1 point).

The Poll # 19th is open. The results: in summer, 2011.
