MWL fishy?

[twaintrain]

Has anyone noticed that whenever CMT.com does a poll and Shania is on it, she usually wins. But Shania is losing on MWL to Rascal Flatts and Cledus T. Judd -- Come on! I like those two but Shania has outsold Rascal Flatts by over 50 million and Cledus ain't THAT funny. Shania should be #1!

I do think that there is something fishy! I vote once a day, as well as at least 6 other people I know. There is no way those other videos, some are which are just plain stupid (just an opinion, not meant to offend anyone) get more requests than Shania does. I mean come on (over)... there is no way Cledus has more fans than Shania!!!

This is part of what I posted on this subject recently:

I have had my doubts about the honesty of CMT's voting polls since Labor Day, 2001 when it had a special show after a six-week long fans vote of their 100 favorite videos.

Here's why that vote total seemed highly suspect:

1. Shania went from 10 videos in a similar poll for Labor Day, 2000 to none in 2001.
2. There was no Tim McGraw videos in the top 100.
3. Lee Ann Womack's extremely popular I Hope You Dance, which was among the hottest videos at that time, WAS NOT in the top 100.
4. There were videos and artists that I had virtually never heard of.

I think it is very fishy too! I was thinking the exact same thing! Cletus is great and all, but how could he get more votes than Shania??? He is number one basically everyday! Something fishy is definatly going on.
