Division 15 took the Delorean and Marty McFly back to the 50's as we continue station to station's 32 artists in 32 genres. This is the 15th week where 20 voters receive ballots of 32 artists and vote for 6 artists to move on to the semifinals round. The Top 8 are rewarded each Friday and get featured on station to station. While voting was the lowest this week, out of the 20 voters, 13 (65%) cast ballots in the 50's Pop/Pop-Rock division, it turned out to be some of the tightest results yet. No artist ran the board and the top 4 all vied for first place until the last three ballots were cast in the last 24 hours. Out of the 32 artists, 23 received at least one vote. 7 different artists received first place votes.
If Elvis is the King of Rock 'n roll, then he didn't perform as well as expected in Division 15. The Father of Rock'n Roll, Buddy Holly received the most love this round on 9 ballots to capture the most points. The chairman, Frank Sinatra, also beat out the king with the most 1st place votes cast this week. Elvis took third place and it make me wonder if he'll be a dark horse or a dud to make it into the final 64 at the end of this tournament. Chuck Berry also received a good amount of love capturing 4th place this week. The rest of the field winds up nicely with Ray Charles and The Everly Brothers receiving a first place voite a piece and ending up 5th and 6th, respectively. Roy Orbison was on two more ballots than Jerry Lee Lewis as they both will move on to the semifinals finishing in 7th and 8th place.
