Many thanks to everyone who voted or otherwise participated!! There wasn't quite enough enthusiasm to justify a results broadcast, but at least we do have enough votes for results in each group, so I will present them in this thread shortly. Traditionally, the highest scoring song in each category that has never been nominated for TMT will be automatically nominated in the next TMT regular edition.
