Billboard Hot 100 #34 - 1991

[Vizier]

Poll 34! 1990 saw a handy victory for Vanilla Ice, getting his only #1 into the championship bracket! Due to the reality of having more than 64 songs in the tournament, I've determined a new system for setting up the matches in the bracketing rounds!

Basically, songs will be seeded in order of their vote percentage in the poll they came into the bracket on. For example, Ice Ice Baby got 6 of 13 votes in the 1990 poll, which means it's seeded higher than Beat It, which got 6 of 18 votes in the 1983 poll. Songs that tied for a victory are subject to the same criteria (a year with 5 #1s sharing 2/11 votes will be low ranked, and a year with 2 songs with 6/13 will have each song ranked higher. The Triple threat matches of the first round will be located towards the middle of the bracket. Generally, the "best" songs by voting percentage will be 1-on-1 with the lowest percentage ones, and the middle-of-the-road ones will be in 3-way polls.

It makes sense in my mind, but you may need to see it in action to understand it...
