When I started up the poll, "LionHeart" was actually doing well.
About the 4th day, it started to drop rapidly.  It was well over
Never ForEver, The Whole Story, The Sensual World, and both of
the CD's from the Box Set.  More surprisingly, "The Kick Inside"
was the top album, but "The Dreaming", and then finally, "The
Hounds of Love" took over the top spot.
Also, 'Under The Ivy' was the song leader for a long time, but
on the last two days, this was changed. I was hoping that a 
B-Side of Kate's would be her fans' favorite. I just love that kind
of irony.

I was extremely disappionted that 'Hammer Horror' did so poorly, 
along with 'Violin', which I expected not to do as well as others,
but not that bad.  I guess we all have some sort of disappointments
in our lives.

Ok. Ok. Since people have been referring me as Richard Darwin, and are
not sure who I am, I have changed my sig. so noone will be confused any
more.
Anyways, it was time for a change.
