(Full, current standings can always be found here)

First, an important announcement: I was doing some bookkeeping, and I discovered a mistake in how I recorded the results for groups 14 and 26. I accidentally double-counted someone in each of those, resulting in every song from both of those groups being slightly lower than they should be. The playoff standings have been updated; most notably, this resulted in several songs from group 26 jumping from 39.13% up to 40.91%. I regret the error, and have developed a new procedure to prevent this in the future.

Group 51 Results:

Newly Eliminated 1Except for any that become wild card challengers at the end.

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. 2For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song from that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60% 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+3Skipping any songs that would themselves be song 11+ for a given game in a play-in round.

We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 53 will be active until Thursday March 25th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 52 will be active until 10:00PM tonight; vote here. Group 54 will start Thursday and be active until Friday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.

You can listen to all songs in group 53 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
