Imagine if Tom Petty was counted as one artist, he would have the most votes by far. I voted for One, Remedy and Digging in the Dirt. Not a very strong year.

I voted Remedy and Digging in the Dirt, I couldn't find a 3rd song that I really like for a 3rd vote.

And so far, there have been 43 songs that have broke into the next stage of the tournament.

1990 has the most qualifying songs, with 7 songs. But it also has the record for most songs to break into the next round with 1 vote, which is 3 songs.

Last day to vote! If you haven't voted yet, please do so!
