The easiest way to get enough nominations to make it work would be to allow more than 3 nominations per user. Maybe let us each nominate another 3 songs/games. 

Two reasons I would rather not do that.

1. Since there's little overlap between the lists, that becomes an issue since bascially anything someone says will be nominated and I'll have to figure out a way to narrow that down.

2. If there's not a lot of interest, then I'm not sure I want to spend much time on this.

Since it's looking fairly unlikely at this point that a ton of songs will recieve more than one vote even if several more people voted, I doubt it would be viable to pick entries based on which get the "most" nominations. I think the alternatives are either including everything in an uneven (and quite large) bracket or for there to be some sort of "elimination round" before the tournament itself.

For example it could be set up in a Google Forms where people can pick 5 or 10 songs they want to advance (since people would presumably pick those they nominated themselves, it would definitely have to be more than 3) and then the top 64 or 32 songs make it to the tournament. Example:

Don't mind the red lines, my browser isn't set up in english.

Edit: Picking up to 10 songs might be best since otherwise a handful of the best known songs could soak up the few votes people don't put on their own nominees, leaving most songs with 1 vote anyways.
