The question was raised in Discord but for transparency, I would ask it here as well: theprammys who are you? I want to prevent double counting, thanks.

FINAL RESULTSThe ranking of top 4 of 2023 March Madness is finalized after 39 days. Without further ado, the less voted song with 14 votes in the bronze match and has to be in 4th place is... {4th Place} SZA - "Kill Bill" (rnb, #1)Congratulations to rnb for a great debut performance even though it's the safest option available! which means, with 19 votes, the song in 3rd place is... {3rd Place} Little Simz - "Heart on Fire" (singingrulebritannia, #4)Congratulations to gates for achieving a personal best in a tournament Madness game! It's interesting that the top 2 are both female-fronted group songs submitted by our female posters. The gap between the top two was slightly larger. With 10 votes, 2nd place goes to... {2nd Place} Paramore - "Running Out of Time" (SabrinaFan, #5)SabrinaFan has another top 3 finish in a Madness with a Paramore song. Meanwhile, with 23 votes... {1st Place} Sobs - "Friday Night" (deca, #3)Congratulations to deca for a truly underdog and deserved win! It also fits that a song by Asian artist won a March Madness hosted by an Asian poster. And with that, I want to say thank you to everyone for participating and making this tournament possible! I had so many good discoveries come from this, and it was really fun to participate in every matchup. Who knows a semi-casual message in Discord could lead to this? I won't host STM but I am still looking forward to making discoveries there.

Thank you for hosting this event recordyear! I just had a brief dream before checking this thread that the Paramore song won March Madness with over 100 votes in the lead. Fortunately that wasn't the case, instead the winner is a song that I had discovered in early November. I did not think this song could be a winner in the Pulse Madness game, but I'm very pleased that this result proved me wrong.

Congrats decadevia! Great winner, and it's nice to see that pretty much a discovery for the overwhelming majority of us takes the crown. Wonderful job hosting recordyear!!

congrats violet!! i’ll admit Friday Night wasn’t my top choice for the winner out of the top 4, but it’s still a great winner and great discovery! it’s also cool that it’s not by a pulse favorite artist too :)
thanks for hosting recordyear, you did such a great job!

Wow! This is so refreshing to see as a winner. I never would have thought at the start of Madness that a lesser-known artist would lead the way to victory. Congrats, violet!
Thanks so much for hosting, recordyear! This was terrific.

i'm honestly still shocked i got this far in the tournament. i honestly thought this song was done for when it went up against gorilla. when i sent my list in and saw that post recordyear made about having never heard of any of my artists, i got kind of scared about how my picks would do and that everyone would tear them apart or that like haunted house and friday night would make it to the top 64 and then just fizzle out. that said, i am SO glad this wasn't the case. a special thanks goes out to everyone who voted for friday night and recordyear for hosting this tournament. i have to say, i never really got a chance to finish any of the previous tournaments just because my ability to commit to something like this can be so bad sometimes and im kinda surprised i was not only able to get so far but also keep up with the matchups (even if i missed a few due to social life things). point being, this has been so fun and i'll def try to send for stm.
in fact, i have all of my picks mapped out for stm. they'll probably be divisive, but maybe that'll work out like it did here. this is the first time in ages i sent stuff i was actually listening to instead of stuff just because i thought pulse would like it (or get an entertaining reaction out of it in some cases) and im glad all of my picks got such a warm reception here.

Congrats on the win, decadevia ! Paramore is definitely a fave on Pulse, so it's awesome that a lesser-known song took the win. "Friday Night" was a great discovery and a very well-deserved winner! <3 I'm honored to have come in second place, and thank you so much to everyone who supported "Running Out of Time." Thanks for hosting, recordyear ! I had a lot of fun.
