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. (Unless explicitly given "0" plays, tracks submitted without counts will be excluded from the album weight described below under "Scoring Methodology"; this applies to both standard album tracks and bonus tracks.) 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, the length of an album, 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 a weighted multiplier equal to the number of songs submitted by that person (see example below), and those points will then be distributed among the album's songs according to the percentage of total album plays the given song has.
So if Person A turns in play counts for only 13 songs on Stronger (instead of the total possible 18), then the album is given 13 total points to split among the 13 submitted songs. (However, if Person B submits play counts for all 18 songs on Stronger, then the weight would simply be 18 instead of 13). This weight better ensures that songs on longer albums receive a fair amount of points; my reasoning is that, in theory, someone could actually give an equal number of points to all 75+ songs. For example:
Person A:
Stronger = 1596 plays
Mr. Know It All = 145 plays
What Doesn't Kill You = 223 plays
(145/1596)*13 = 1.1811 (roughly)
(223/1596)*13 = 1.8164 (roughly)
This means Person A contributes approximately 1.1811 points to the overall score for Mr. Know It All and 1.8164 points for Stronger (WDKY). Thereafter, each album for every person will be calculated in precisely the same fashion, and subsequently all points for each song will be compiled (so, the points from Persons A, B, C, etc., for Since U Been Gone will be added together). Thus, a list ranking the plays for all of Kelly's five albums will be created whilst minimizing many factors that could negatively influence the results.

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. 
15 June 2012 - Very large extension.
16 June 2012 - First batch of results presented.
WHICH SONG WILL WIN?
THE FIRST ROUND OF RESULTS
SHALL BE REVEALED

. Matt Bomer is flawless.
Only 3 people (including me) voted for the last option 
But I do think it would do well 
Wait should I take this one or does someone else wanna handle it?
