Last year, the music industry brought in so many amazing artists, including original YouTube sensation Justin Bieber and the ever enchanting Lady Gaga became bigger than ever. (Even though I can argue against some of them, the fact is, they're climbing the ranks higher than anyone ever thought possible)
Last year, we saw Eminem rise from the ashes and re-invent his music, and we saw Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne keep on trucking and putting the best music there is out there (in my humble opinion).
So, Internet folks, want to get behind your artist and help them elbow their way to the top of the ? Here's some info on the tournament.
The tournament interface was a project in and of itself. It's a new breed, and a lot of effort has been put into the design and functionality of it for the launch date. There's 64 songs in this tournament (with 32 matchups) that face off against each other over six rounds -- each round lasting three days. (Check out the complete details on the tournament page, where you can sign up and get to voting.)
