This is a tournament idea I started working when I was doing the Top Hot 100 Songwriters of All Time list.
The songwriters for the top 5 songs from each round get to advance a new song to the next round. Round 5's top 5 were Eleanor Rigby, Emotions, Kiss, Life On Mars? and Little Lies so their songwriters get to place songs in round 6.
Songwriters that fail to make the top 5 will eventually get a second chance but not until at least a few rounds later. That's why there are songs by songwriters that almost made the five in earlier rounds (Stargate, U2 and Holland-Dozier-Holland).
