Determining the Ultimate Hip Track
The Tragically Hip Best Song Bracket Advances to the Round of 32
The Tragically Hip's best song bracket has reached the round of 32, eliminating 96 of 128 tracks after two months of fan voting. The competition started with songs ranked by Spotify streams and has already knocked out entire albums like In Between Evolution and We Are the Same Sudbury Star. Five more rounds remain, which will take over a month to complete.
How the Bracket Began with Spotify's Most-Streamed Songs
The Tragically Hip bracket tournament started with 128 songs ranked by how many times fans streamed them on Spotify Cochrane Times Post. This list gave newer or more popular tracks a head start over deep cuts. The first round of voting ran for weeks, then the second round took just as long.
Earlier Albums Lost to Fan Voting in First Two Rounds
Entire albums disappeared from the bracket after just 96 days of voting Fairview Post. Songs from In Between Evolution, We Are the Same, Now For Plan A, and Man Machine Poem failed to advance past the early rounds. This means some Hip albums did not produce any songs strong enough to survive.
Fan Favorites Like Flamenco Move Forward in Competition
Some beloved Hip songs sailed through the early voting Stratford Beacon Herald. Flamenco and Escape is At Hand for the Traveller both won their matchups and remain in contention. These fan favorites show which tracks have the strongest support among voters so far.
Five Rounds Ahead to Crown the Band's Greatest Song
The final five rounds of the bracket will stretch voting over another month The Observer. Each round cuts the field in half, moving from 32 songs down to 16, then 8, then 4, and finally 2 for the championship. Fans can keep voting for their favorite Hip songs until a winner emerges.
