Toni Sant had this to say about the MMI poll in 2007: "It gives me great satisfaction to say that the MMI 2007 poll does not involve some convoluted jury nor is there any money making scheme from SMS voting. Taking full advantage of the power of the Internet we've placed the emphasis on the people who really matter to any musician: the listeners, or, to call them by their proper name, the fans. If you're a Facebook user you can vote. That's it. No gimmicks, no scams."

The MMI Listeners' Picks poll aims to establish the top favourite releases of the year among the weekly Mużika Mod Ieħor podcast listeners.
A list of music from Maltese recording artists released in 2007 was compiled by Toni Sant for his second annual MMI Listeners' Picks poll. This is not a fully comprehensive list of 2007 releases; Toni Sant has always admitted on his podcast and blog that he is somewhat selective - but the scope has always been to include as many titles as possible at the nomination stage.
Nominations
There were five categories on this poll: 'Online Music Videos' was introduced this year, joining 'Albums', 'Singles + EPS', 'Internet Releases', and the 'Maltese Based Overseas' categories. Links for each of the video as they appeared on YouTube were also provided through the voting pages.
The total number of titles nominated this year was 112, with 26 albums, 22 online releases, 19 overseas-based, 13 videos, and 32 singles/EPs.
Nominations were gathered between 14 September and 26 November 2007, based mostly on tracks played on the weekly MMI podcasts. However, several recommendations by podcast listeners were also included.
