We've been busy going through our lists of contests to bring you the end of year Rankings for 2001. No real suprises at the top end of the table, but it does show you where the power in land is situated.

Yorkshire provide 4 of the top 10 bands, with the North West adding a further 3, Wales 2 and Scotland 1.

We've also shown the winners and losers in the points stakes as well, so read on to find out if 2001 has been a vintage or terrible year for your band.

This is of course not to say that they have become better or worse bands in musical terms, but it does show the ones who have made a bit of progress and those who have fallen off the pace a bit over the year.
