The results of our fourth annual user poll are in ...

For the fourth straight year, we asked our users to rank their favorite TV shows, movies, games, albums, and songs of the past 12 months. We received over 2,300 responses (the most yet), and the results are listed below.

Note that participants listed their five favorite titles of 2013 in each category, and we assigned a value of 5 points to each first-place vote, 4 points for second place, and so on down to 1 point for each fifth-place vote. We also asked our users to name the single most "overrated" release of the year in each category, and those "winners"—determined solely by the number of votes received, rather than points—are also listed below in each section.

Movies

Though their order was reversed, the year's two highest-scoring films with critics were also the top two vote-getters with Metacritic users. Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity was the runaway winner, collecting more than twice as many points as the next highest movie, which was 12 Years a Slave (2013's highest-scoring film with critics). In fact, the five highest-scoring wide releases finished within the top seven with users, including Spike Jonze's Her, which placed seventh despite screening in just a handful of theaters so far; that film opens nationwide on Friday.

A look at film critics' year-end top 10 lists reveals that critics and Metacritic users were on the same page with many of 2013's best films, with seven common films in each group's cumulative top 10. Users liked The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and Machete Kills more than critics did; none of the three finished in the critics' top 30, and the latter film received poor reviews when it originally opened. Critic favorites that failed to rank as highly with users include the documentary The Act of Killing, French import Blue Is the Warmest Color (#9 with critics, #15 with users), and Alexander Payne's Nebraska.

Games

Grand Theft Auto V, Metacritic's official game of the year for 2013 and the #8 highest-scoring game of all time, was a hit with users as well, though not as much as the PlayStation 3 exclusive title The Last of Us, a new IP from Uncharted studio Naughty Dog. Nintendo 3DS owners seemed to have voted with regularity, as three exclusive titles for that handheld platform landed in the overall top 10. PC gamers also showed love for a variety of indie releases, including The Stanley Parable, Gone Home, and Papers, Please.

And, while the fourth Assassin's Creed title placed higher with users than the previous installment did in last year's poll (at #5 compared to #8 last year), other franchises lost some support this year. Batman: Arkham Origins finished at #13 with users while its predecessor (Arkham City) place second in 2011. And this year's Call of Duty title, Ghosts, barely charted at all; the three previous CoD games each finished in the top 10 in our year-end user survey.

TV shows

For the second straight year, Breaking Bad is the runaway winner in our user balloting, much as it was in our survey of TV critic top 10 lists. Last year, the show was named on 63% of all ballots cast by users; this year, that percentage was up to 67%. (Yes, somehow one in every three users didn't vote for Breaking Bad at all, which helps explain how the show also finished second in the "most overrated" category).

The overlap between users' cumulative top 10 and critics' 10 favorite programs of 2013 was six shows. The Americans, Enlightened, Masters of Sex, and The Good Wife all scored higher with critics than users, while users favored The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Parks and Rec, and Homeland. (Of those last four, all but Homeland landed in the critics' top 20, however).

Music

Lady Gaga fans voted enthusiastically in this year's user survey, not only placing the pop star's ARTPOP in the #1 position in the album rankings, but also landing three tracks from the album among the top six in the best song rankings. Kanye West's Yeezus, the favorite among music critics making year-end lists, was second with users, and also landed three tracks on the top songs chart. Meanwhile, Metacritic's highest-scoring album of 2013—Sunbather by Deafheaven—finished at #12 in user balloting.
