As we get ready to ring in the year 2018, your SNH48 Today team has been busy collating results from all our reader polls done either on Twitter (from January to April) or through our news site (May onwards.)

Those results, combined with the votes from our team, have been used to create Top 5 lists of SNH48 Group related songs, stages, music videos, events, and original content. These Top 5 do not include rankings of members as those would be too subjective.

We also did not include events related to one specific member (e.g. Ju JingYi’s graduation.)
