in week #57 we had 52 nominations:

50s : 5 (10%)

60s : 9 (17%)

70s : 14 (27%)

80s : 11 (21%)

90s : 9 (17%)

and in the Top Ten:

60s : 4 (40%)

70s : 5 (50s)

90s : 1 (10%)

could it be that this is the first time that we have a song in the Ten for a second time?

and another interesting thing: there are six songs that were the #2 in the Ten of one person, but didn't get any votes from any others...
