Following the long awaited 3rd victory for Altyr Muunilinst in the 125th edition of the contest last month, we would like to welcome you all to Darpabrak for the 126th edition of the BuzzJack Song Contest.

The confirmations thread will be posted later in the week, but now is a time to join together and celebrate all that is good about Altyr Muunilinst and maybe even discuss your hopes for the contest.

Until we meet again.

We’re going pop this month and I’m ready to DNQ x

We've got a indie-pop stadium anthem for you! Get ready for a big chorus!

Planning to send a summer bop!

Oh my god, yay! I've been waiting patiently

I’ve got an absolute BANGER lined up. It’s not quite Mi Amor, but I’ve been playing it just as much patiently waiting to get this thing going.

One of my potentials this month has a grand total of THREE views on YouTube, looking at my recent track record I might as well risk it.

Posted by: King Rollo 20th July 2020, 05:15 PM

I'm going with some indie/pop again.

This month I will be seeking JUSTICE for one of my previous DNQs xx

Not recycling the artist of course because why would I do that, but it does have the same producer and is by an associated artist - I think the song is a little more accessible this time. Also serving a music video that is very appropriate to today's social distancing times x

I have no new ideas so I may send a rap track

Because, as I've already made super clear, pure sales alone don't matter much in the current chart, but in general sales (pure+streaming) they do make a difference, see by the ROCKSTAR case, that's not an opinion, that's a fact.

I already disproved you when you used Rita Ora as an Alibi to undermine the original ACR rule, saying that in 2017 she'd lower the price of her songs on iTunes to escape ACR, but at the time of today's UK industry (with pure sales almost dead), reducing the price of a song won't even give half the effect that a discount would have on Rita and other artists' stuff back in 2017, when a discount really had an effect on the songs' chart positions, as they were still selling a lot on pure sales. This no longer fits the current scenario, since pure sales, as I said, are almost dead, so the fact that they changed the rule to prevent artists from manipulating charts with discounts on pure sales, today, is already useless and it would be much fairer for them to go back to the ACR rule of the beginning, which dresses the industry much better in 2020.

And I really don't know where we're going if you insist on playing blind and keep distorting what I say to every new quote you give in my posts. Also, don't bring my comments made on other topics to this topic, as they have nothing to do with it. Stay on topic.

since the last contest was over I already switched between three songs that I wanted to send to this...I've hammered all three songs a lot and now I am not sure if I even want to send any of them

Posted by: Popchartfreak 21st July 2020, 03:14 PM

i will enter something old, something new, something borrowed or something blue. But not The Fantastics (topical 1971 reference)....

Help with potentials is required if anyone has a few mins to spare! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=140771&view=findpost&p=6608054

SOMEBODY sent the most boring song on an otherwise incredible album a few months ago so I might just recycle an artist that I gave 0 points to when they were first sent oops

Posted by: travis 22nd July 2020, 11:44 PM

I actually have no clue what to send this time around! Gonna have to do some digging in my old potentials and some new releases.

Can’t wait to send my little gem that I’ve been hanging onto for a while now. POPHub slayage 2.0
