Battle of Songs (Season 1)

This is the first ever season of Battle of Songs, the third generation of the "Ex-Music" trilogy. It has been announced by the host cwrpg02 the same time when the eleventh and final season of Music Station was set to end at 60 episodes. The season was premiered on May 19, 2021.

On May 16, 2021, the host had teased that the show may possibly be rebranded, this meaning Music Station was abruptly cancelled. The show would re-debuted once again under a different title. On May 18, the title of the show was revealed to be "Battle of Songs".

The categories are now expanded indefinitely, as the "Other" category has been permanently removed starting from this season. For the first time ever since Ex-Music's debut, a fresh new spreadsheet in Google Sheets is used to collect the database of the show, as Ex-Music and Music Station all used in one single Excel file. Also, the host have shared that spreadsheet to the public to view the full database for the show.

Format
The first season of the show saw few changes compared to the eleventh and final season of Music Station. Several copyrighted elements have been removed, including the Clock Format, Money Tree and the "One Song One Thousandaire" minigame. Major modifications have also made into the core rules, instead of competing for one top prize, contestants competed for accumulated money through infinite amount of matches. Some basic elements such as castings and decisions were remained the same.

During the game, when the song wins a match, the contestant(s) could earn random amount of money between 100 CWH to 1,000 CWH. Unlike the previous format, the money are cumulative. The contestant(s) can leave the game with money already won rather than playing on. If the song loses the match, half of the cumulated money will be lost, so the contestant(s) can only leave with half of the money already won.
