Time’s up.
Highlights this time… “All Day And All Of The Night” becomes the first #1 seed to fall.
“Come Dancing” becomes the only late 70s/early 80s comeback era song to survive.
Only one tie this time, and it’s the hardest decision in the madness, and the one I really didn’t want to have to break - “Sunny Afternoon” vs. “Waterloo Sunset”. Thanks. And the tie-breaker goes to…

Winners in blue.
