With the first round of playoffs in the books, we move on to the top 128! Hey, remember when people called this generation the “128 bit era” for a hot second? It wouldn’t have made any sense, but I’m kinda sad we don’t live in a world where some marketer’s trying to convince us the PS5 is 1,024 bit. Anyway.
Since it’s the playoffs, groups will be active until 9:00AM Pacific the day after they post[footnote]Or the Monday after they post, for groups that go up on a Friday[/footnote], or for roughly 24 hours. You can listen to a playlist of today’s songs (in matchup order) here.
Or you can work ahead!

Or listen to every song here.
