2006 Viewers Poll: The Results!

The 2006 Popjustice Viewers' Poll: The Results!

During December we asked you to vote for your high­lights and lowlights of 2006.

You did vote. You did so in your thousands.

Then we did a bit of counting, and a bit of adding up, and we compiled your votes into a series of Top 5s.

It is nice to see Lily Allen and Justin doing well. Unfortunately we forgot to include many 'Worst…' cat­egor­ies so you never got a chance to tell us what you thought about Gwen's 'Wind It Up'.

But anyway, here are the greatest and least great bits of 2006, according to the readers of Popjustice…
