Create a Song World Cup for your favorite artist
MUSIC CUP is a free song bracket maker: search an artist, run a World Cup with their songs, and narrow it down to your all-time favorite. Works right in the browser — no sign-up, no download.
What is MUSIC CUP?
MUSIC CUP (the Music World Cup) turns the eternal argument over which song is best into a tournament you can watch unfold: type an artist’s name, their songs line up automatically, and they battle it out World Cup-style — you make every call until a champion is crowned. By the end you’ll know, better than any playlist could tell you, which song you truly love most.
Whether you want to pin down your all-time favorite song, settle a friendly debate, or rediscover an artist’s entire catalog through a tournament, it takes only seconds: no playlist to build, no songs to add one by one. Just search and start the cup.
How to play MUSIC CUP
- Search an artist: type a name and their songs are pulled in automatically as the line-up
- Pick a pool: Top hits, Random picks or Pick your own — the size matches the catalog, up to 48 songs
- Advance round by round: 2 of 4 per group, a wildcard round to save the near-misses, then 1v1 knockouts
- Share the bracket: once a champion is crowned you get a bracket image to save and share

Songs come from iTunes stores around the world: Chinese-language, Western, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Latin artists are all searchable, with official artwork and audio previews — can’t decide? Listen first.
Three ways to start
Top hits for a one-tap kickoff, Random picks to unearth hidden gems, or Pick your own to hand-build a dream matchup — the bracket size matches the catalog, with up to 48 songs competing.

About MUSIC CUP
MUSIC CUP is created, built and run by Yuting and Zeqing, based in Singapore, as a product of Lambda Tech PTE. LTD., and first launched on July 21, 2026. The reason we made it is simple: we both love music deeply and are hopelessly indecisive — yet it is only in choosing that we come to know ourselves better. Its only official website is musiccup.app; sites on similar domains are pirated copies.
