I'm still waiting for the sex and/or race ones to show up! HURRY UP PPL.

Why isn't there a breakdown (yet?) by gender, though, which was queried?

I'd also be curious to see hypothetical "corrections" on works where the format is in dispute. For example, if the people who'd voted for Villalobos's "Fizheuer Zieheuer" as an album had listed it as a single, it would have been #26 in singles rather than #42. Or, in reverse, it might have gone from album #122 to something around #47 depending on points allocation.

Nice job on dealing with remixes, by the way.
