Now it’s time for the knockout rounds. We’ll be single-elimination from here on out. You can see the bracket (with results!) here
The top 256 will run from the 3rd through the 10th, 32 songs a day. Groups will no longer be feathered, and will instead be open until 9:00 am Pacific the day after they go live (roughly the time the next group goes live). You can listen to a playlist of today’s songs (in matchup order) here, or listen to the entire top 256 here. You can find all 8 groups in the spoiler.

Another tie! Gave it to Crystalis because I like the part where it goes into a minor key for a bit. Minor keys are just better than major ones. That’s a music fact.
