2022 March Madness (FINISHED!)

(this op is mostly copied from last years march madness thread)
Read please
The same rules from previous tournaments apply here.
If you are new or need a refresher, you need to list at least 6 (preferably 12) songs that you have been enjoying from the last few months. The release dates for these songs don't need to be in that time period, but keep them recent please (recent eras are your best bet) โ if you have questions on specific songs, ask us in your PM please. Your first 6 songs will then face off against other people's entries until we can proclaim our champion!
Your list of songs is due by 8 PM EST of Tuesday, March 15th.
To enter, do NOT submit your songs in thread. Please PM the hosts (@lyhom, @iamsam, and @cm7com) your top 12 songs in order (only your first 6 are in the game). If you don't send to all of us in the same PM, we will ask you to send again or else your picks will not be counted. We will then randomize the order based on all of the players. Doing it this way will give everyone an equal chance to submit first and not lose out if you submit right before the deadline. If you choose songs that someone already selected, We will pull from your six alternates. So choose 6 of your favorite songs for your submission, and then up to 6 additional wild cards just in case. You will receive a PM from us if I need additional songs from you.
The rules are:
***please read this because we do not have the time and patience to be telling you stuff that is literally right here***
1. There is no limit on the number of participants. The number of rounds is subject to the number of participants. Otherwise, we will go through the usual cycle of preliminaries, quarter-finals, sweet sixteen, semi-finals, final four, and championship. Rounds will last ~24 hours. We will post the full bracket on Challonge.
2. Vote for the song you most prefer of the two songs listed. One vote for each matchup per person. Vote for each matchup, even if you can't decide between them. Failure to vote for each matchup will result in a forfeited vote (none will count). You do not have to submit songs to be able to vote. You are also encouraged to listen to every song, even those you are unfamiliar with. Don't just vote against a song because you never heard of it.
3. In the first ~two rounds (subject to change depending on number of participants), ties will be broken by higher bracket number. For subsequent rounds, ties will be broken first by total cumulative vote, including previous rounds. Keep this in mind when you rank your songs. Note: if a song was on bye for the first round, ties will be broken by second round votes and on to make it fair.
4. For this tournament, you may not use songs that were used previously in other tournaments. You will be asked to change them. If you are unsure of what songs were previously used, please check below this post for the full list of songs that have been used in previous tournaments. I'm going to make sure to check each and everyone's songs to see if they were previously used. Also, this is pretty important for you to check because every tournament we have had to tell people they cannot use a song because they decided not to look if it was used previously. Don't make our job harder.
5. For submissions, please format your selections as the following: Artist f/ artist - "Song title" (preferred name, #) (ex. SafetySuit - "Never Stop" (James, #1)) (obviously if there is no featured artist, don't put one down. If there is, please include. We're not as knowledgeable as Spotify or 1wxrld [remember him?]) - this makes things much easier for me to compile.
6. This shouldn't be a rule, but with what happens with every one of these, it needs to be said. Don't start with the "oh, they're not voting my songs because it's pop/rock/rap/whatever!" Quit whining โ you ruin this for everyone else. Also, don't vote against a song because it was by a user you don't like. You're the worst kind of person.
7. To kind of avoid this, if you have the time, it'd be nice if you provide comments with your votes! At least for me, I like to know what you think of my songs, and I bet others do. Plus, this shows you actually listened to the song instead of making blind votes.
8. I usually don't have to exclude specific songs, but with the re-recordings of Taylor's albums coming over the next year or two, I need to clarify that the only tracks from each album that can be sent are previously unreleased songs; in Red's case, that means all of the (From The Vault) tracks, aside from All Too Well (10 Minute Version), since it's an extended version/remix of an old track, rather than an original track in its own right. Remixes of songs will also be excluded if they've already been sent if they're simply adding another person to the already existing song with minimal (if any) production changes.
(copying tags from 2021 wtm)
Main tags (anyone who was tagged for/sent for the last three tournaments):
One-time tags (every group from the tag list thread - this is the only time I'll tag everyone, but if you want to be tagged in future reminders just ask):
If you are not on this tag list, you are still free to participate! If you see anyone I missed in the tags, be sure to tag them! Basically if you're new since 2021 WTM โ too lazy to figure who to tag.

If you are not on this tag list, you are still free to participate! If you see anyone I missed in the tags, be sure to tag them! Basically if you're new since 2021 WTM โ too lazy to figure who to tag.
