Hello! A couple months ago, I did a bracket for my top 32 songs of 2013, but I thought it would be more interesting to do a more collaborative bracket for March Madness. I have tried to pick eight songs that have hit my own top 10 within the last three months, and ranked them below. Anyone is free to participate by ranking their own set of eight songs. We will combine all the songs into one bracket, and vote on songs to move forward in the bracket. You have until March 10th to list eight songs. Rules: There is no limit on the number of participants. The number of rounds is subject to the number of participants. Otherwise, we will go through the usual cycle of preliminaries, quarter-finals, sweet sixteen, semi-finals, final four, and championship. Rounds will last 24-48 hours. I will post the full bracket at Challonge Vote for the song you most prefer of the two songs listed. One vote for each battle per person. You are not required to vote on each battle. In the first round, ties will be broken by higher bracket number. For subsequent rounds, ties will be broken first by total cumulative vote, including previous rounds. My entrants for 2014: 1. Drunk In Love - Beyonce 2. Let It Go - Idina Menzel 3. The Man - Aloe Blacc 4. Hard Out Here - Lily Allen 5. Trumpets - Jason Derulo 6. Animals - Martin Garrix 7. Dark Horse - Katy Perry featuring Juicy J 8. Chocolate - The 1975

...now I realise I don't really know. I just did the same as this: which doesn't work if you don't have a personal chart. I guess just pick current singles or songs that came out in the last few months? Hopefully not songs like Talk Dirty, Burn, Team, Counting Stars, Let Her Go, Hey Brother, La La La etc that are pretty ancient, but I doubt that will stop anyone so you may as well go ahead if you need those

What is the eligibility period for selecting our songs? In my head, I was thinking it would be something from the past year, and make this kind of an annual thing. But if there are songs outside that period that you want to include, put them in!

You have plenty of time to change yours. I'm not starting this until March 10. (I'm keeping mine, though.)

Wait, so you have to add songs on the ballot in order to play, or it's a free for all for the entire board?
