Hi Tammy. This has been a bone of contention of mine for some time. So far I have not had any decent explanation and judging by previous results my fears that some songs are way out of position because of a flaw in the voting system are justified.

I am sure that this weird pattern of battle order happens to other people. A song cannot drop or climb in the charts if people do not get to vote on it one way or another. I do not think it is possible to cover every conceivable battle in the early round. Say that people only complete a few battles, so the results of these few battles are entered and affect positions for those few songs. What about all the battles they did not complete and how does that affect the other songs positions. Multiply that a few thousand times and you can have songs way out of positions because the fans never got a chance to decide.
