NCT B-SIDE
BATTLE TOURNAMENT
Get ready to go non-stop with AKP’s favorite NCT b-sides!
We combined b-sides from all NCT units, eliminating title tracks, songs released as single and b-side variants of a tt in another language (the Chinese version of Love Talk, for instance.)
We started with 125 songs. Voters were asked to vote for their three favorites with the top two of each round automatically advancing to the finals. Third place songs went into a playoff round. From the finalists, voters picked their favorite 10.
Here is the complete overview of the entire tournament:
