This is a tournament to determine the best song on my spotify playlist that I use for rideshare passengers. There are 266 songs and we will do one on one matchups until we have a winner. Each group will consist of 32 songs or 16 matchups and voting will take place over 1 week or until 25 people vote. So if you'd like to vote, and I wish you would, just reply what you think the best song is in each matchup! This is all your personal opinion, don't worry about historical analysis or importance or anything like that. This is for the song only, the music video should not be considered. The bracket was randomized at random.org. Only complete ballots will be accepted, if you don't know one of the songs watch the video! So here we go!

1) My Sharona - The Knack vs. Hurts So Good - John Mellencamp


2) You Can't Hurry Love - Phil Collins vs. Old Town Road - Lil Nas X ft. Billy Ray Cyrus


3) Blank Space - Taylor Swift vs. The Winner Takes It All - ABBA(meryl streep cover)
