It’s time for group play! We have 2,953 songs this time, in 24-song groups1. That means 123 groups! Triple digits for the first and probably last time! 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. 2 After all groups are done, the top *mumbles* 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 5123, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 513+4 in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 2 will be active until Wednesday September 14th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 1 is active until 10:00PM tonight; vote here. Group 3 will start Wednesday and be active until Thursday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 2 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
