<pre>        overall-charts from 1994





yeppa, here's biz kid on the keys!
another year has passed and you are now
reading the last issue of skyhigh for
1994. so what is more natural than doing
a compilation of all the issues released
in 1994! - well i did!
i sat down on my fat ass and counted all
the votes used in the issues released
this year!

before starting i must tell you this :

you must remember that these charts are
not really fair. what does that mean?
it means that groups or persons who had
their breakthrough in the end of the
year haven't got that many votes,meaning
they don't have got that many points!
so my advice to you is, not to take this
too serious. sure they give a good view
of the different cathegories, but still;
just take it for what it is, ok!!!

well, let's cut the crap and get down to
bizness!!!!

ELECTRIC got 40%!!! of the votes!!!
this means that he's the absolute no1!!
JUNKIE 'only' got 10.1%, and DAVE got
9.2% of the votes!
well a lot of dead guys are in the list.
it seems that designing covers isn't
that exciting anymore.
in my eyes duce of extend should have
the other 40% and share the top position
together with electric! extend has the
best cover/paper artists at the mo!!!
