    Quota for each match is 6 votes, when a song reaches that within the time limit (1 hour for this round) voting for that match ceases.

    Dolly had only 2 votes when Dylan reached 6, I know there were some more votes for Dolly after that but they were not counted.

    I use this process as votes conceded will be in play in future rounds for tie breakers. This leaves it easier for me also :)

    John Fogerty
    Sonny West
    Dépêche Mode
    Erma Franklin

    While I like both songs now, I had a word with my 80s self who would have trotted happily across broken glass to hear Dépêche Mode & chose that but for me, Chaka Khan would have trounced all the other songs in this group otherwise!
