Project Details
About "2023 BTS ARMY March Madness"
It’s MARCH MADNESS – To celebrate BTS’s early catalog of work, we’re letting ARMY decide which BTS songs released from 2013 to 2016 are tops this year!
Inspired by the NCAA’s March Madness, we’re having YOU vote for your favorite BTS early years songs and predict how the brackets will turn out! The top OT7 songs from Spotify have been seeded into four brackets. We’ll start with a round of 32 songs, and similar to the NCAA March Madness Basketball tournament, we’ll work our way down to one champion based on ARMY votes!
Voting will take place on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, so follow us and get your vote in, so your favorite song comes out on top!
