Stevie stays alive
Every. Vote. Counts. With one of our Sweet Sixteen matches decided by a margin of 0.35 points, that is as true as ever. The honor of overcoming the darling of the tourney goes to “Sir Duke,” squeezing by Tristen’s “Baby Drugs” by the slimmest of margins: 102.5-102.15. Congrats to Stevie Wonder. Next up- “Australia.”
Not to be outdone in the “I’m a Legend For A Reason, Voters” category, “Get Rhythm” has no problem with “Pulling On A Line,” winning 103.2-93.4.
The last of our Sweet Sixteen matches awaits. Playlist is here, and votes are due at midnight EST on Friday, October 19th. Best of luck to all songs!
