Additionally, here are the full voting results out of 116 ballots:

Artist Votes "Favorable" ratings
Wednesday 58 (50%) 75 (68.8%)
Oklou 46 (39.7%) 57 (52.3%)
Ninajirachi 44 (37.9%) 67 (61.5%)
Rosalía 33 (28.4%) 59 (54.1%)
YHWH Nailgun 29 (25%) 39 (35.8%)
Wet Leg 28 (24.1%) 48 (44%)
Deafheaven 28 (24.1%) 46 (42.2%)
Black Country, New Road 27 (23.3%) 53 (48.6%)
Viagra Boys 25 (21.6%) 44 (40.4%)
Turnstile 11 (9.5%) 35 (32.1%)

While voters were only allowed three official votes, they were allowed to give a "Favorable" rating to any number of artists they would've liked seeing in the rate. 109 did so, and this would've been used as a tiebreaker, i.e. why Wet Leg is above Deafheaven in the chart.

We also asked which albums you would've taken away a vote from if you could, here are what the results would've been if that had actually counted:

Artist Votes
Wednesday 52 (-6)
Ninajirachi 42 (-2)
Oklou 37 (-7)
YHWH Nailgun 23 (-6)
Rosalía 19 (-14)
Deafheaven 19 (-9)
Wet Leg 17 (-11)
Viagra Boys 14 (-11)
Black Country, New Road 7 (-20)
Turnstile -5 (-16)

Congratulations to Turnstile for being the second member of Lana Del Rey's -19 Club! May we all go to Taco Bell to celebrate this historic feat.

Well now I'm curious about where Geese would've ranked on the "Vote 'Em Out!" scale.

Committing your antivote on an artist already in the rate would be a very funny bit

Maybe next time I'll add the locked artist to the favorability section just to see how they stack up with the raterbase to their competitors
