An open reader preference poll, not a music-industry chart, expert ranking or representative survey. Choices start alphabetically and are not an exhaustive list. Votes express personal taste; artist inclusion does not imply endorsement.
Counts combine publisher-supplied historical poll totals and accepted website votes, not verified unique people. One vote per category per network per day. Results sort by votes; tied choices share a position. No votes means no leader.
