Welcome to the second round of the Best All-Time Paul McCartney Song Tournament, where fans vote weekly to crown the ultimate McCartney masterpiece before Sir Paul takes the stage in Palm Desert. And folks, the competition is getting spicy.
After a nail-biting Sweet 16 round (seriously, “Can’t Buy Me Love” squeaked by “Sgt. Pepper” with just three votes), we’re down to the Elite 8. The second round of voting opens at 6 a.m. Monday, Sept. 8, we need your help deciding which songs will make it to the Final Four.
Let’s take a quick look at the stats from the first round of voting:
Closest Matchup: “Eleanor Rigby” edged out “I Saw Her Standing There” with 76 votes to 61.
Biggest Blowout: “Let It Be” absolutely crushed “Silly Love Songs” by a whopping 106 votes. Sorry, Silly — maybe next time.
Total Votes: 1,112 votes from 143 fans. And remember, you can vote once per hour per matchup, so set those reminders!
