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 7's top 5 were If, Let's Go Crazy, Landslide, Let's Get It On and Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours, so their songwriters get to place songs in round 8.
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 top five in earlier rounds (Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, The Dream/Beyoncé, Adele and Dolly Parton).
ROUND 8 - Due July 12, 10pm EST
