You're damn right it was. Probably the only reason I actually bought her CD.

Unlike the idols from the main series, CG doesn't have too many characters that develop over time (meaning can't have too much room for characters like Miki, Ryo, and Touma due to the massive number of characters). Is it personality? Character design? Maybe even a character's gimmick? Because characters like Miku and Anzu are very popular character, even though they both run on a gimmick and not much else (The former is a cat person and the latter is mega lazy). I'm just really curious about this.

I think it's mainly the gimmick that each idol brings. Not in the sense that what gimmick people like most, but how fans can interpret those gimmicks and make themselves like the girls. A good example would be Anzu and Kirari. Both are 17 but each stand on the opposite ends of the height scale. When fans caught on to this, they basically paired the two on the spot. Or how about Kaede's puns? Or Miku's cat girl-ness but dislike for fish? Or how Minami always ends in sexy idol clothing, etc.
It is as MetalPredator have concluded. How popularity worked in CG, in all my time of observing fanart, is how they can turn a character into their own target of affection, chew toy, sex symbol, etc., using whatever data Namco gave us about the character. The more they can work with, the more people will talk about her, and thus making her more popular. It's also worth noting how much they like a character's traits, like the shy trait that most characters have, or Shizuku's beach balls, etc. Stereotypical traits in personality still apply here, but for the fanbase, it's a matter of what are the exciting traits they can exploit.

The third cinderella girl election has been announced...
The top five idols will get a group cd like last time, but there will also be a 9 person CD featuring the top three picks from each group, a lot like the Onegai Cinderella CD.
I like this setup, hopefully it means the top picks won't be 80% Cool like last time.

On a serious note, this is an excellent setup. I'm guessing they're doing this to compensate for the fact that Cool idols DOMINATED last year's election which felt a bit......off. Passion didn't get jack that year. Another thing that could happen is that we may have repeats of the whole Anastasia thing like last year. Remember, she didn't have a voice at the time yet she won 2nd place! Can't wait to see the winners on April 18th!
Btw, Team Minami and Team Natalia to the end!

I LOL'ed at Syoko's song name. It's so like her to have it named like that. 8)
