HKM bracket round 3 overview

All polls in this stage will last a week. I will upload 4 polls a day (I've found this a nice amount as both a voter and a poll maker), so all polls will be posted in 2 days, starting tomorrow, the 6th. This post will be updated with links to the polls when they go live and results when they finish.

And now that you're here and thinking about K3, go vote for Oya Lélé in the Top 2000 while you're at it.

Part 1:

10.000 luchtballonnen vs. Disco Oma -> 10.000 luchtballonnen (81.5%)

Altijd blijven dromen vs. Jij bent mooi -> Altijd blijven dromen (60%)

Pina Colada vs. Play-O -> Pina Colada (78.3%)

Jodelee vs. Dieper dan de zee -> Dieper dan de zee (55.6%)

Part 2:

Love boat baby vs. Kusjessoldaten -> Love boat baby (52.9%)

Ushuaia vs. Jij bent de bom! -> Jij bent de bom (65.2%)

Luka Luna vs. Als het binnenregent -> Als het binnenregent (60.7%)

Finals overview

We all had fun in the full K3 song bracket, but because the og songs were dominating I suggested to hold separate polls for the other 3 generations and over 20 people thought that was a fun idea. The first of those 3 competitions, the KKJ bracket, has been finished now so it is time to move on the the third generation: the HKM bracket!

HKM have 73 songs (unless I missed something) and a poll has shown a preference for a 64 song bracket. We hence need to lose 9 songs, which we'll do by dividing the non-singles over 9 polls of 5/6 songs. Only the song with the least amount of votes will not move on to the bracket, all other songs will get a chance!

(The colours indicate the different albums, as I wanted to divide them more or less evenly over the groups.)

The songs from the group stage will then be placed in the bracket corresponding to their placing in the groups*

FAQ:

What will you tag the polls?

All polls will be tagged #Best HKM song bracket

When does the tournament start?

I'm planning to start on October 13th

How many polls will you post per day?

I have found that about 4 polls a day is nice for me in both a preparing way and being able to listen to the songs before voting way, so I’ll do that. The group stage will be posted over 2 days with 5 polls on one of the days though.

How did you seed the bracket/make the groups?

I seeded the bracket based on the songs' performance in the big bracket. (See this post for a full ranking of all 128 songs.) I did a similar thing for the group stage, but that was more coarse, as many songs only got 1 vote in the original group stage, so I got to also shuffle them around a bit to get a proper division of the different albums.

How did you determine what songs are singles?

A combination of the Discografie van K3 Wikipedia page and looking at what songs have video clips. With clips from specials it was a bit confusing, because not all felt like they should be counted as singles? However the group stage should make sure all actual popular songs get through to the main bracket.

Why is this in English?

Because I want to leave the option open for non-Dutch speaking people to be(come) K3 fans.

What happens if a poll ends in a tie?

I will let them face off in a 1-day poll, if that doesn’t give a winner, both will continue.

What happens if multiple songs in the group stage get zero votes?

In this case I will let them face off in a 1-day poll to determine a loser.

*OP reserves the right to switch the order of the group-stage songs in the final bracket based on results in the groups/earlier rankings (Because Winner Group 9 has a better rank than Winner Group 1 right now (because of reasons), while maybe Winner Group 1 proves to be much more popular. Though this was probably a bigger problem in the original bracket, where Winner Poule 20 was up against Tele-Romeo, the later number 2, and Winner Poule 1 was up against Bubbel which ended in 75th place.)
