#240 Best Album of 1989 Tournament: Week #1 Wrap-Up
Hey folks!
Well that was a surprising first week, wasn’t it? In case you missed it, #97 seed NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER beat #32 seed HUNKPAPA by 16 votes, and #96 seed BUZZ FACTORY triumphed over #33 seed SPIKE by 10 votes. According to official Best Album Brackets ombudsman @hellonfriscobay.bsky.social, this will be the first time that a #96 seed and #97 seed faced each other in Round 2. Congratulations on making history, everyone! It can seem sometimes like seeding is destiny, but this is why do the voting — you never know what’s going to happen.
