Each year, the Sing Thing groups vote on their favorite songs learned during that season (October–May). Each location votes on its favorite songs, and the preferences vary quite a bit as the groups are different in character — some groups have more girls, some groups have more boys, and groups have different mixes of kids to adults. Also, the groups don't necessarily learn all the same songs, although 80 percent are the same. These differences affect the preferences that make for a very lively mix of favorites.
