| IMPORTANT NOTES: in order to make it a clean progression,
I decided to list all the Queens for the year in which they WON their crowns
(the calendar year in which the convention was held). In 1993, SA started *naming* the Queens for the year in which they would "reign." Thus, Showtime is our 1994 Champion, Chicago Fire is called 1995 Champion, Weekend Edition is called 1996 Champion and so on.. ** Replacements are not officially called queens until they have performed shows and on the Coronet Club Show for three years. Thanks to Marti Lovejoy
for supplying the data.
