Billboard Hot 100 Final Round (Poll)

[Vizier]

Welcome to the last hurrah for this 3-and-a-half month long project, the finals for The Billboard Hot 100 tournament! Over 1,000 songs were eligible at the start, and it all comes down to the final 2 as chosen by the members of the Wrestlecrap Forums.

I'd like to thank everyone who has voted in these polls, and kept the tournament fun and interesting, it's always nice to check the topic on my phone during my break at work and seeing another familiar name voting and bumping the topic.

Also, I do intend on doing a Billboard Mainstream Rock chart poll, but not for a week or so after this poll finishes. Would like to have time to not want to check the forums for votes every few minutes

With that, we see the final poll. One of the earliest #1s of the 1980's [6th to be exact] in Another Brick in the Wall, and the 2nd to last #1 of the 80's, We Didn't Start the Fire.

Finals



8. Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)
#1 for 4 weeks - March 22 - April 19, 1980
Previous Opponents: I'll Be There, Silly Love Songs (4-2-0); Stayin' Alive (4-2); The Lion Sleeps Tonight (6-3); Bennie and the Jets (5-4); Another One Bites the Dust (7-4)

VS



6. Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire
#1 for 2 weeks - December 9 - 23, 1989
Previous Opponents:You Are the Sunshine of My Life, MMMBop (6-0-1); Arthur's Theme (4-2); I Want to Hold Your Hand (5-2); Take on Me (5-2); Beat It (6-5)

The song with the most votes at the end of three days from this posting will be crowned champ-een.
And the best part is you don't HAVE to tell everyone who you vote for, unless, of course, you want to

Happy voting/discussing!

Thank you!

I'm glad these final matches have been a bit more suspenseful (Although I'm sad that I had to call 2 matches early due to people not voting). The final being 2-2, then 5-5, then 6-6, and now 8-8 is... making me worried it'll end in a tie. Since I have no tiebreak function.

Another Brick in the Wall vs We Did Start the Fire vs the song that hit #1 since the 2010 poll was put up? (Katy Perry - California Gurls)?

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

make them co-#1, i say.


also, if you do that rock #1s poll, i'll be ecstatic.

[Vizier]

About 18 hours to go, and we're knotted up at 11!

Will we have co=champions?

Rock #1's tournament would be a good idea since you ran this one so well and consistently. Pink Floyd's might ought to be counted out (if it's eligible) since it won the "regular" tournament.

The Rock #1 poll will be awesome
