The % at the end is Performance Rating: the average % of voters per round who do *not* vote for that song. So it's a 0 to 100 scale, and higher is better.
This includes the voting in the original Survivor games, not just this Tournament of Champions.
One major effect of this system: Most Maiden and Bruce song scores are 15% too low. The songs from 2009 top tens went directly to 2010 Finals; they were in fewer rounds and faced tougher competition, so they never got to build up big scores against filler. This makes Hallowed's 90.2% score especially impressive.

Coming up later this year: Maiden 2011 and Champions II. I have a feeling these two songs may meet again.
Stargazer is 2 places too low once Powerslave got knocked out and I think there's too much Maiden in the top 10 (yes I know it's a Maiden forum), but overall it's good. Thanks for hosting SMX!
Had I participated in this one, I'd have made an effort to get both Metropolis and Darkside Of Aquarius higher (currently, my favourite DT song and favourite Bruce song, respectively).
I've twice made an attempt at DT. Once in the '90s, the second time about a year or two ago.
Given my general taste, I should like them, but both times they failed to make an impression.
Not that I disliked them, it's just that they didn't stick.
When they opened for Maiden I was very impressed with their skill, less so with their songs.
I am going to give them another try, but only when I can give them some time and my undivided attention.
