Blind music tier listWho is your favorite music artist?

Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Daft Punk, Eminem, Taylor Swift, Stromae: rank artists from your favorite to the one you like least.

Ranking size
  1. Place each card, no take-backs.
  2. Swap up to 6 cards.
  3. Flip 2 pairs at the end.

How to play the blind tier list

Pick a theme and a ranking size, then start the game. Cards drop one at a time: for each one, you choose a free rank. Once a card is placed, it stays there.

You never know which card is coming next. Put a great card too high and you may have no room for the next one: that’s the whole twist of a blind ranking, also called a blind tier list.

  • Swap: don’t like a card? Replace it with one from the bonus pile, hidden as well.
  • Flip: once every card is placed, you can switch the spots of two cards to fix a mistake.
  • Top 10: 3 swaps and 1 flip
  • Top 20: 6 swaps and 2 flips
  • Top 50: 15 swaps and 5 flips

The 121 cards in the Music theme

Every game draws at random from these 121 cards. The French music deck can also be played on its own: each card’s full profile is on its page.

Frequently asked questions

Which artist has sold the most records?

The Beatles are generally considered the best-selling music act in history, ahead of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. But sales don’t tell you who you like best: a blind ranking makes you decide.

What is a tier list?

A tier list is a ranking in tiers, from best to worst. Tiers are usually lettered: S for the elite, then A, B, C and D.

How do you make a tier list?

With a regular tier list maker, you drag pictures into tiers freely. On BlindTier, you pick a theme and a Top 10, 20 or 50, then place the cards one by one without knowing which one comes next. It’s free and needs no sign-up.

What is a blind ranking?

A blind ranking is a game where you rank items without seeing the rest of the list. Each item is revealed one at a time and has to get a final spot, so you make every choice without knowing what comes next.

How is it different from a tier list?

In a tier list, you see every item before sorting them into tiers. In a blind ranking, items are revealed one by one and every spot is final: you have to bet on what’s coming.

Is the game free?

Yes. BlindTier is free to play in your browser, on desktop and mobile, with no sign-up.
