Sorry, ya'll. This was supposed to be started two weeks ago but life got in the way lol. Welcome to the annual January Madness tournament in the Pulse Country forum (sometimes held in February or March lol). If you're new, it's pretty simple. 64 of the biggest hits from the previous year will be pitted against one another in a bracket-style setup. It works just like the March Madness basketball tournament. We will have four separate brackets (1 through 16) and see who advances to the Final Four. But how do we determine who moves on in each matchup? Easy, just vote for your favorite! Normally this goes the duration of January but since I'm starting this in the third week of January, this will go into February, so just ignore the "January" title of the tournament LOL. If you'd like a look at how a past tournament went, here's a template. Thanks to bamafan2102 , who originally started this years ago. 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. The numbers are pulled from the 2020 Billboard Country Airplay year-end chart. Duplicates from 2019 have been pulled out and replaced with other higher-charting singles. I picked the 16 seeds. The seedings are luck of the draw, it's based on the year-end chart rankings. Voting begins now and goes through Sunday morning. As always, comments are welcomed.  WEST 1. Chasin' You 16. Her World or Mine 8. I Love My Country 9. In Between 5. Some Girls 12. Love You Like I Used To 4. Catch 13. Drowning 6. Beer Can't Fix 11. Pretty Heart 3. Lovin' on You 14. Big, Big Plans 7. God Whispered Your Name 10. 10,000 Hours 2. Die from a Broken Heart 15. Monsters |

WEST
1. Chasin' You
16. Her World or Mine
Easily picking Wallen here
8. I Love My Country
9. In Between
Ew at me voting for McCreery, but this was an easy choice
5. Some Girls
12. Love You Like I Used To
Meh at both of these
4. Catch
13. Drowning
I still really like Catch
6. Beer Can't Fix
11. Pretty Heart
Like both of these
3. Lovin' on You
14. Big, Big Plans
Least favorite Combs single but still better than BBP
7. God Whispered Your Name
10. 10,000 Hours
Urban's song is so bad
2. Die from a Broken Heart
15. Monsters
Easiest vote of the round. Would be surprised if DFABH doesn't make the finals in the West bracket

1. Chasin' You
16. Her World or Mine This is one of my favorites of last year so this vote is SUPER easy for me
8. I Love My Country
9. In Between don't care for either of these but I at least don't hate McCreery's song
5. Some Girls just chose random here, don't care for either!
12. Love You Like I Used To
4. Catch
13. Drowning this is hard because I think I enjoy the production of "Catch" better but those lyrics to "Drowning" tip the scale in Chris Young's favor
6. Beer Can't Fix
11. Pretty Heart this is hard and I'd be okay with either song moving on but I need to give Parker McCollum my vote
3. Lovin' on You meh on both of these but I like Luke Combs a lot more overall
14. Big, Big Plans
7. God Whispered Your Name the fact that I like Keith Urban overall more is why I'm voting for him because both of these songs are trash
10. 10,000 Hours
2. Die from a Broken Heart this vote is devastating as I love both songs but "Die From A Broken Heart" is just on its own level over everything else
15. Monsters
