However, a lot has changed in four years. The thing that hasn’t changed? My graphic design skills. We clearly need a makeover (insulting the purple frame is an automatic ban).
I’m thinking 16 or 32 brackets, judged by voting polls of course. However getting the songs narrowed down will be tricky. Do we make a post asking for everyone’s top 10 and pick from there? Do we have a coding genius in our midst who can update the great BTS songs sorter? Or do we just use this old template and go from there?
Let me know your thoughts!

A 64-song bracket is a major undertaking! This is a fantastic way to determine the ultimate fan-favorite from BTS’s entire discography. Since a 64-song bracket is too long to list in its entirety, here’s a template and a breakdown of how it would work.
The Ultimate BTS World Cup Bracket: 64 Songs
This tournament is split into four divisions, each containing 16 songs. To create a fair and exciting tournament, you could seed the songs based on popularity (e.g., streaming numbers, chart performance, music video views), or you can randomize the matchups for a truly chaotic and fun competition.
How it Works:
* Selection: 64 of the most impactful and beloved BTS songs are chosen. This includes title tracks, B-sides, solos, and subunit songs.
* Divisions: The 64 songs are divided into four “regions” of 16 songs each.
* Seeding: Songs are seeded from #1 to #16 in each region. The #1 seed plays the #16 seed, #2 plays #15, and so on.
* Voting: Fans vote on each matchup, and the winning song advances to the next round. This continues until only one song remains in each region.
* Final Four: The four regional champions then face off in the semi-finals.
* The Championship: The winners of the semi-finals compete for the title of the Ultimate BTS Song.
The Four Regional Divisions
Here are four hypothetical regions, with a mix of eras and styles. You can fill in the rest of the songs or create your own lists.

* (7) “For Youth” vs. (10) “Dimple”

Thanks Tae, we actually did it four years ago.
