LAST UPDATED ON: October 19th 2009 (after ISC-45)

We now have an more ‘honest’ way to elect the “All time top-20 songs” from the International Song Contest. We used to look just at the amount of points a song received. Now we look at how much percent of the possible maximum amount of points a song has got.

For example: Turkey won ISC 1 OCT with 'just' 95 points. But there were only 20 voting countries in that final – including Turkey itself. So the maximum amount of points they could’ve had were 19 times 12 points (12 points from every player) = 228 points. They got 95 points out of a possible 228 which gives the song ‘Leave’ from Sertab Erener, that won ISC I OCT, a score of: 41.66 (95 pts), which is in fact very good! So don't be misjudged by the low 95 points. They got a score that is very hard to beat. In fact, it is almost impossible to score more than 50 points, since you 12 points from about half of the voting players!
