March Madness WEST Bracket (2020) Mar 3, 2020 2:23:03 GMT -5

Post by sabre14 on Mar 3, 2020 2:23:03 GMT -5

Oops. This tournament is normally held in January -- at the latest February. I don't believe we've missed one since the mid-2000's and even though I'm busy these days, no way we start now.

Welcome to the ~~January~~ March Madness tournament in the country forum. For those unfamiliar, we use 64 of the top charting country radio singles from last year and match them up bracket style. It's simple -- just vote for your favorite song in each matchup. Here's last year's if you want a template for how this works. This was originally started by bamafan2102 .

We'll start with the WEST Bracket, then SOUTH, EAST and NORTH. Each individual round will be voted upon first. The EAST winner will face the SOUTH winner and NORTH will face WEST.

Numbers are pulled from the 2019 Billboard Country Airplay Year-End chart. I pulled duplicates from last year's tournament and replaced them for other high-charting singles that missed this year's top 60 on Billboard's year-end. I picked the 16 seeds.

Let's go!

Voting begins now and goes until Thursday at 10 am.

WEST

1. Whiskey Glasses
16. Closer to You

8. Love Ain't
9. We Were

5. Prayed for You
12. Love Wins

13. What If I Never Get Over You

6. Rearview Town
11. Look What God Gave Her

3. This Is It
14. Thought About You

7. Some Of It
10. Sixteen

2. Beer Never Broke My Heart
15. Dive Bar

"Miss Me More" vs "What If I Never Get Over You" is the most evilest thing that has ever happened on this forum.... Those songs deserved to face off against each other in the FINALE, or close to it!
