We made it! Another hard-fought ATRL March Madness comes to a close at last, after seven rounds, more than 330 votes and 62 fallen contenders, with your pick for the most indispensable cover. Did you prefer the sleek self-affirmation of #1 "It's My Life" or the plaintive lament of #1 "Torn"?

By a vote of 19-11, the winner of ATRL March Madness 2023 is...



























































































































































































































































 

 

 

(1) "Torn" Natalie Imbruglia

 

 

Congratulations to Natalie Imbruglia on her well-deserved title! After a dominant performance all tournament long, even the overall top seed proved no match for this '90s classic. It's sweet vindication for "Torn" nearly a decade in the making. Back in 2014, the song made it to the Final Four of our one-hit wonders contest, before losing in a tiebreaker to the Cardigans' "Lovefool."

 

Thank you to everyone who participated the past few weeks! I loved getting to dig into this theme with you, even if it proved a bit more controversial than usual. I am incredibly appreciative of your support, which keeps this tournament going year after year, and grateful for your challenging questions, which made it interesting. Come back again next March! If you want to see the complete results, and relive all the great memories, the final draw is posted below:

Not really deserved … but there were worse options!  Thanks for doing this Supa!

Amazing winner omg :jonnycat:

Truly pop perfection - the fact it's in the top 20 played songs of the UK in 2010s says everything 

 

It's My Life is an amazing #2 as well 

 

Justice for Angel of Mine 

 

Thank you for hosting!

thank you supa for your tournaments/games, always so much fun participating, perfect top 2 :heart2:

I think No Doubt's version of It's My Life to be a lot more compelling than Torn but have to admit that Torn captures the spirit of the 90's in a really special way. It's really simple but effective. 

 

Thanks @supaspaz for hosting the tournament! It was very fun.

 

Still thinking of Gloria

Oh well, that was expected.

Natalie's version of Torn is great, but I must admit I find Lea Michele's version better, though :fan:
