What is your favorite Act on 21st Century Breakdown?

Three acts jostled hard early: Act II opened on top for ten days, Act I grabbed it and flip-flopped twice more, and by day 35 Act III took the lead. That was the last change. For the next 404 days — more than eleven times the length of the entire early scramble — the standings never moved again.

Act III closed at 1,423 votes (35.8%) to Act I's 1,306 (32.9%) and Act II's 1,245 (31.3%), a 117-vote gap built almost entirely in the first month and then simply maintained. The United States, the single largest voting bloc at 193 votes, actually backed Act I — but it wasn't enough to outweigh the rest of the map.

• Four flips, one month · All 4 lead changes happened within the first 35 of 439 days
• 404-day hold · Act III's lead stood unchanged from day 35 through day 439
• US goes its own way · America, the top country at 193 votes, favored losing Act I
• Act III skews male · 153 men to 60 women — the most lopsided gender split of the three
