Just one last reminder to vote if you haven’t already in this round.
The final horn for the Sweet 16 sounds in about 2.5 hours (4pm EST).
Aaaaaaaaand, there’s the final buzzer.
We had some of the closest matchups to date in this round. Hey Jude-Penny Lane was a real barn-burner, as were BOTH matchups in Bracket D. Holy shit, were they close!
In fact, we had a tie in the D Bracket, which means the decision to send a song home was decided by the flip of a quarter!
On to the results (winners in bold, “upsets” in red):
Bracket A
Can’t Buy Me Love 44, Twist and Shout 18
I Feel Fine 43, Please Please Me 19
Bracket B
Help! 35, Ticket to Ride 27
Norwegian Wood 42, We Can Work it Out 20
Bracket C
Hey Jude 32, Penny Lane 30
A Day in the Life 49, I Am the Walrus 13
Bracket D
Come Together 31, Here Comes the Sun 32 (OT) <—that’s the coin-flipper, folks!
Get Back 30, Let it Be 32
The next round will be posted shortly.
