About Playlists for BTS

Why?
BTS share their playlists with us all the time and these lists bring a lot of comfort. It would be a sweet token of ARMY's love for BTS if we gifted them playlists filled with songs chosen by ARMY.
The Project
'Playlists for BTS' is a project to create Spotify playlists for BTS made by ARMY. There are eight playlists each year, one for the whole group, and one for each member. Each ARMY can add two (max. three) songs to each playlist per year; these can be songs that remind you of BTS/a member, or songs you think they might like. For a guide to adding songs to Spotify directly, see the 'Adding Songs To Playlists' link below. For alternative methods of submitting songs, see the 'Other Submission Methods' link.
Into the Magic Shop: Song Choices Explained
If you would like to give more details about why you chose a certain song, you can tweet them to the @Playlists_BTS account (linked below), or include them in your anonymous submission (also linked below).
These reasons will be added to the 'Magic Shop' (see 'Into the Magic Shop' linked below), which will act as an archive of ARMY choices.
Tweets should include details of 1. the Playlist the song is added to; 2. the Song; and 3. the Reason, e.g., "BTS; Lovely Day (Bill Withers); Because even in the toughest days, knowing that I can always turn to BTS to bring me moments of happiness makes the world 'alright with me'". More examples of these can be seen at 'Into the Magic Shop'.
When
ARMY can add songs to playlists now. Eight playlists have been released so far: 'ARMY for BTS: 2021', 'ARMY for Jungkook: 2021', 'ARMY for RM: 2021', 'ARMY for Jimin: 2021', 'ARMY for Jin: 2021', 'ARMY for V: 2021', 'ARMY for j-hope: 2022', and 'ARMY for SUGA: 2022'. These playlists are now locked. New rounds of playlists (for the following year) open ~1 month after the previous playlists was locked, i.e., 'ARMY for BTS: 2021' was locked on June 13th, and the new 'ARMY for BTS: 2022' opened for collaboration on July 13th.
Individual member playlists will be made public on member birthdays, with the hope that a large enough hashtag can be used on Twitter and Weverse to allow BTS to see it.
