Thanks to everyone who voted this past round. The results were extremely close, with the standings fluctuating constantly throughout the voting period. Ultimately, two dance-pop classics of the early aughties bit the dust. Say goodbye to...
"Waiting For Tonight" by Jennifer Lopez, which never rose above the middle of the pack in the early rounds of voting. As the number of remaining songs dwindled, so did its support, and it was quickly dismissed by voters this round.
Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" which may be the most shocking early exit from this game yet. Despite enormous mainstream popularity, Beyonce remains a polarizing figure on ATRL's threads. As certain fan favorites escaped the danger zone through save votes, a couple of last-minutes ballots pushed NME's best song of the decade (and Rolling Stone's third-best, and Pitchfork's fourth-best...) out of the game.
