The DeuxDuel Baroque lineup
22 songs · 18 artists · 1912–2024 · listed A–Z, not ranked
What this list is
DeuxDuel draws from 22 songs when it builds a Baroque matchup. Two of them appear side by side, you play a 30-second preview of each, and you pick the one you would rather hear. Every track here is a real Apple Music catalogue song, hand-picked for this category — not pulled from a streaming chart — and voting needs no music subscription.
The order below is alphabetical by artist. It is not a ranking and does not imply one.
No ranking is published for Baroque yet. DeuxDuel only publishes a chart once a category has real head-to-head evidence behind it, so this page shows the lineup and nothing more. How the ranking works.
