And there we go… 2012’s results are in and, well, it made a slight difference to the overall top 100 placings from 1957-2012.

We have 2 new entries into the top 100 chart for this year, no prizes for guessing what they are, but the placings are very interesting. I have also updated the YouTube playlist to reflect the updated chart – click the following link if you’d like YouTube to play down the entire chart for you, no.100 to no.1.
