Bandwagoner

Draft real artists, not athletes. Your roster scores every week off the real music charts. Free private leagues with your friends.

Bandwagoner is fantasy sports for music fans. Instead of drafting quarterbacks and point guards, you draft real recording artists, and your team scores every week based on how those artists actually perform on the real music charts.

HOW IT WORKS

Start a private league and invite your friends with a link, or join an open public league. On draft day everyone meets in a live snake draft with a pick clock and builds a nine-artist roster: six starters across R&B/Hip-Hop, Pop, Rock & Alternative, Country, an Other slot and a Flex slot, plus three artists on the bench.

From there it is a ten-week regular season of head-to-head matchups, followed by a four-team playoff to crown a champion.

HOW SCORING WORKS

Your artists earn points from real chart data every week, never from opinion:

Chart position. The higher an artist's song or album ranks, the more it is worth. Chart movement. Climbing earns points, debuting earns a bonus, sliding or falling off the chart costs you. Longevity. Artists who stick on the chart week after week keep paying off.

Songs and albums score separately, so a hit single and a big album week both count.
