THIS ROUND IS DIFFERENT. Vote for what you think is the BEST song here.
No song can be eliminated unless it wins a majority of votes. If no song gets a majority in the initial vote, that round will go to a runoff, with the top two songs from each round competing against each other directly. If there is a tie for second or a multi-way tie for first, then more than two songs may end up in the runoff.
No poll will be called until one of these things is true:
1. At least 30 votes have been cast
2. At least 15 votes have been cast for the leading song
3. A full week has passed since the poll began
A runoff round can be started before 30 votes have been cast if the two leading songs are far enough ahead that they will still be the two leading songs when 30 votes are eventually cast no matter which songs the remaining votes go to.
For the album elimination polls, I also didn't allow people to change their vote, as I didn't want people to be biased and vote for a song they don't actually think is the worst in order to save a song that they like from being eliminated. However, with the runoff system, that's not a problem, as votes for songs that have no shot of winning the round will not be thrown away. As a result, you will be allowed to change your vote.
So, without further ado, get voting! Vote for what you think is the BEST song, and the song with the most votes will be removed after each round. One song will be chosen as the worst song of U2's entire catalog. Along the way, I will be noting some other less-significant results like the worst of each decade or the worst actual U2 song if Elvis wins.
