Projected Bubble: 47.37%
Important reminder: the 47.37% songs that are being listed as “eliminated” aren’t, really, not yet. Once Group 98 goes final I’ll be randomizing the placement of all tied songs. So the important thing here is that 9 songs at that tier have so far fallen outside the top 512. The identities of those 9 have yet to be determined.
[/spoiler]
It’s time for group play! We have 2,360 songs this time, in 24-song groups2The first 8 are instead 25-song to make the math work. That means 98(!) groups! 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. 3For 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 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+4Skipping 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 98 will be active until Thursday May 26th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 97 will be active until 10:00PM tonight; vote here. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 98 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
