This is my attempt at filling the K3 tag with actual K3 posts. Submissions and/or requests are welcomed and if you want me to reblog a post of yours feel free to ask/tag me.

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.)
Heyah Mama staat op 1157, en wordt uitgezonden om 19:00 op 27 december en Oya Lélé staat op 884 en wordt uitgezonden tussen 16:00 en 17:00 op 28 december
Mensen ze hebben de oude k3 catalogus op Spotify geüpdatet! Alle nummers van K3 en het IJsprinsesje staan er nu op! En nummers die eerst alleen op single of deluxe cd’s zijn uitgebracht zijn nu ook beschikbaar! (Ster aan de hemel staat nu bijvoorbeeld op het Alle Kleuren album)

Ik zit de laatste tijd nogal te denken over de reünie setlist en nu vroeg ik me af op welke nummers de mensen die gaan hopen? En welke denk je dat het niet gaan halen?
I have a lot of data from the polls so I used it to make a full ranking of all 128 songs that made it to the bracket. For this I used two rules: songs that made it to later rounds would be ranked higher than songs eliminated earlier and within a round the songs would be ordered by the absolute number of votes they got, this felt fairer than the percentage, because almost anything got obliterated by Oya lélé, but for example Opa still managed to get 5 votes in the first round, which I think is more impressive than getting 4 votes in a poll with 20 votes in total. (Opa had a percentage of 11.4, 4 votes of 20 would be 20%), because a lower number of total votes seems to imply people cared less about both songs.
Anyway having said that, some fun facts:
3 songs only got 1 vote in total, De aarde beeft, K3 Kan Het! and Oh ja (Though Kus van de juf only got 1 vote in round 2)
Top 3 songs that did better than their original rank would have expected are: 3) Verliefd (3 biggetjes), was ranked at 103 and ended up in place 10; 2) Hokus pokus dikke dokus, was ranked at 119 and ended up in place 22, and; 1) Mr. De president, originally ranked 114th and ended in place 16
On the other hand top 3 songs that did worse than expected: 3) Whoppa! ranked 43 and ended in place 120; 2) Jij bent mijn Gigi, ranked 21 and ended in place 106, and; 1) Dans van de farao, ranked 14 and also ended up in place 106 (both got the same number of votes)
Hippie shake on the other hand performed exactly as expected, it was ranked 8th and ended up in 8th place
The highest ranking non-og songs are 10.000 luchtballonnen and Mamasé at a shared 18th place
The highest ranking hmj song is Superster at the 32nd place
Full ranking behind the cut
(I used Tumblr's enumerated list, so the shared places aren't shown. Just remember that from place 20 on most spots are pretty close together.)
(K)3 redenen om op Oya Lélé te stemmen voor de top 2000
K3 is al 26 jaar een onderdeel van de Nederlandstalige cultuur, iedereen kan wel een paar K3 nummers opnoemen en toch staat er geen nummer van hen in de top 2000
Oya Lélé is waarschijnlijk het bekendste en meest populaire K3 nummer, iig in Nederland, het is het K3 nummer dat het langst in de Nederlands top 40 heeft gestaan
Oya Lélé is gewoon best wel een vrolijk nummer dat we wel kunnen gebruiken in deze tijd
I was in such desperate need of more 3 piggies content I taught myself an editing software and made a meme-y edit of the 2024 musical <3 with English subtitles so I could force my non Dutch friends to look at it too lmao
ENGSUB_3 biggetjes (2024) part 1.mp4
Sorry the text is a bit chaotic sometimes, the white text popping around the screen was my original edit but then I filled in the gabs with subtitles so everything was translated, so sometimes there’s a bit of a text overload
But I hope you enjoy 🫶
(part 2 is almost finished I had SUCH a blast making this lol)
