Yesterday, we decided to ask you what your favorite song of the year was. And boy, oh boy did you ever let us know!
Much like our Fave Albums of the Year (So Far) poll, our look at the Best Song of 2011 (So Far) was dominated by two of our favorite divas: Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. Spears and Gaga both found themselves ranked comfortably on MTV News’ mid-year countdown of songs, landing at Nos. 3 and 2, respectively, with “Till the World Ends” and “Heavy Metal Lover.”
In the last 24 hours, fans of both ladies went into overdrive, pushing the songs to the top of our poll by a, um, wide margin. By wide, we actually mean Grand Canyon enormous. “World Ends” and “Lover” accounted for nearly 98 percent of the vote (seriously).
The poll garnered a staggering 421,866 votes! Britney and Lady G accounted for 412,546 of them. Care to see how the final breakdown turned out? Read on.
Even though Britney’s Femme Fatale was your favorite album, you chose Gaga’s “Heavy Metal Lover” as your favorite song of the year (so far) with a commanding 215,683 votes. Britney wasn’t far behind, however, with 196,834. That’s 51.12 percent and 46.66 percent of the total vote, respectively.
As for the rest, Gaga and Brit left them in the dust. (It really is the year of the pop diva, isn't it?):
Lady Gaga, "Heavy Metal Lover" – 215,683 – 51.12%
Britney Spears, "Till The World Ends" – 196,834 – 46.66%
Beyonce, "Run The World (Girls)" – 3,390 – 0.8%
Katy Perry (feat. Kanye West), "ET" – 2,429 – 0.58%
Adele, "Rolling In The Deep" – 1,821 – 0.43%
Chris Brown, "Beautiful People" – 1,474 – 0.35%
Foster The People, "Pumped Up Kicks" – 255 – 0.06%
