The usual rules apply - simply rank the songs from first to fourth in each group. The top 3 songs will progress to the next stage. There will be 5 rounds of 32 songs - split into 8 groups of 4 - meaning 120 will qualify from 160 in this round.
PLEASE listen to each song before you judge and vote, otherwise you're a pretty pointless person.
