Projected Final Bubble: 42.31%
Usual disclaimer about the 42.11% songs applies, especially since there’s still an outside chance that a few of them make the top 512 without runoffs.
[/spoiler]
It’s time for group play! We have 1,866 songs this time, in 24-song groups. That means 77 full groups, plus a 78th group of 18. 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 512 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 512, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 513+[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 76 will be active until Tuesday September 28th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 77 will start Tuesday and be active until Wednesday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 76 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
