Here, I'll just post the original again. I don't want to hunt down a link to the last time I posted it. All you have to do is write down your plays counts; I'll do the calculating.
ALL-TIME KELLY CLARKSON
PLAY COUNT RANKING
WHAT TO INCLUDE:
As the "all-time" would suggest, be sure that every song off Kelly's five albums has a play count associated with it when results are sent in. (Those songs without a count will simply not receive points from you.) If you'd like, including plays from EPs, remixes, and the like is perfectly fine—that one is completely up to you.
SCORING METHODOLOGY:
In an effort to eliminate factors (for example, the age of an album, newer computers, reset counts, etc.) that might tamper with an accurate ranking of all Kelly's songs, a specific scoring methodology will be employed. For every participant, each album will be given an equal weight (1 point) and its point will then be distributed among the album's songs according to the percentage of total album plays the given song has. For example:
Person A:
Stronger = 1596 plays
Mr. Know It All = 145 plays
What Doesn't Kill You = 223 plays
145/1596 = .0909% (roughly)
223/1596 = .1397% (roughly)
This means Person A contributes approximately .0909 points to the overall score for Mr. Know It All and .1397 points for Stronger (WDKY). Each album for every person will be calculated in precisely the same fashion, and subsequently all points for each song will be added together (so, the points from Persons A, B, C, etc., for Since U Been Gone will be compiled). Thus, a list ranking the plays for all of Kelly's five albums will be created whilst minimizing factors that could negatively influence the results.
PARTICIPANTS:
1. Mr. Know It All
2. Addicted (maybe)
3. joelovesmusic
4. Mzd
5. jpsketch
6. KevinKDC (maybe)
7. [Bask] (maybe)
8. Taigan
9. dancepopCC
10. JClarkSTAN
11. doyoucrywithme
12. EdgeOfAddiction
13. kellyclarkson
14. lifeofparish
15. tell_me_a_lie
16.
17.
18.
DATES:
Either typed out or captured in a screen shot, play counts must be sent via personal message to Mr. Know It All by Friday, 8 June 2012 (preferably), which allow results to be presented over the course of the following week. I will allow a slight extension for those slower members of the base ( ), but results shall proceed the next Monday regardless.
I might alter these dates slightly as needed (this includes moving them both earlier and later), but the following stand for now:
01 June 2012 - Sign up begins.
05 June 2012 - Begin sending play counts.
08 June 2012 - Play counts due.
10 June 2012 - Last chance for late plays. 
11 June 2012 - First batch of results presented.
