A strong group is followed by a weak one, with only 3 songs avoiding immediate elimination.

[/spoiler]

It’s time for group play! We have 1,358 songs this time; we’re trying out 24-song groups this time, so we have 56 groups of 24, plus a 57th of 14. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! Songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got compared to how many people voted in that round. [footnote]For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song from that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60%[/footnote] After all groups are done, the top 384 songs from across all groups will advance to the playoffs.

…unless! After group play, but before the playoffs proper, there will be a wild card runoff! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the top 384, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 385+[footnote]Skipping any songs that would themselves be song 11+ for a given game[/footnote] in a play-in round.

We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 50 will be active until Sunday March 21st at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 49 will be active until 10:00PM tonight; vote here. Group 51 will start Monday and be active until Tuesday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.

You can listen to all songs in group 50 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
