Top 40 Wildcards: Why Beyoncé, Gaga & Fifth Harmony Returned
If you're one of the many fans feverishly voting in our Top 40 six-round poll bracket to name the No. 1 video of 2015, you've probably noticed something a bit peculiar. Three videos voted out in previous rounds have returned in Round 4 – Beyoncé's "7/11," Firth Harmony's "Worth It," and Lady Gaga's "Til It Happens to You."
These are what we here at Fuse call, the Top 40 wildcards. Every year when we do Top 40, many videos voted out in early rounds end up garnering vote totals higher than many of the matchups' winners in subsequent rounds. To give the dedicated fans (and their favorite artists) a second chance, we figured why not bring some of those high-performing videos back.
