cheer.gif I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out on top!

Posted by: Dexton 21st June 2020, 03:04 PM

STARTING NOW FINALLY, I don't think I've ever started a rate results on time :')

119. Beyonce - Top Off (with DJ Khaled & Jay Z) - 2.63
118. Destiny's Child - She's Gone (with Matthew Marsden) - 3.05
117. Beyonce - Perfect Duet (with Ed Sheeran) - 3.16
116. Michelle Williams - Fire - 3.81
115. Michelle Williams - Heard A Word - 3.875 (less 7.5s)
114. Beyonce - Walk On Water (with Eminem) - 3.875 (more 7.5s)
113. Beyonce - Mood 4 Eva (with Jay Z & Childish Gambino feat. Oumou Sangare) - 4.09
112. Michelle Williams - Do You Know - 4.125
111. Beyonce - Shining (with DJ Khaled & Jay Z) 0 4.136
110. Beyonce - 7/11 - 4.27
109. Beyonce - Part II (On The Run) (with Jay Z) - 4.4
108. Destiny's Child - With Me (feat. Jermaine Dupri) - 4.45
107. Kelly Rowland - Ghetto (feat. Snoop Dogg) - 4.5
106. Beyonce - Ring Off - 4.63
105. Beyonce - Video Phone (Solo or feat. Lady Gaga) - 4.66 (less 9s)
104. Beyonce - Friends (as The Carters with Jay Z) - 4.66 (more 9s)
103. Beyonce - Heard About Us (as The Carters with Jay Z) - 4.72
102. Michelle Williams - If We Had Your Eyes - 4.75
101. Beyonce - Ego - 4.79

All these songs missed out on the Top 100 singles! I was shocked at the total number of songs honestly I expected it to be much lower for some reason. Beyonce loses more songs in this block however it's Michelle who is in the ultimate loser, having 4 of her 10 singles booted out before we even begin the Top 100 the poor hen. Kelly Rowland manages to only lose Ghetto with Snoop Dogg (go figure) and Destiny's Child's two random collabs which are... definitely songs. I'm not shocked at Top Off being the least liked single of them all - it only got a 2 from me and the highest it got was only a 6. Perfect Duet is very unsurprisingly low down here as are other tragedies Fire, Walk On Water, and Video Phone.

Future reveals will be in blocks of 10 until the Top 10~

Posted by: Slick 21st June 2020, 03:06 PM

Wow, 'Ego' and '7/11' so low!

I didn't like '7/11' at all until I heard it out at da club and since then I realised what a BOP it is.

Posted by: Jonjo 21st June 2020, 06:21 PM

Ego and Video Phone should be lower :')

Diva not appearing yet is also way too high for it.

Everything else, I guess I'm not too surprised at atm!

Posted by: Scene 21st June 2020, 08:06 PM

No real surprises here. laugh.gif

Posted by: Dexton 22nd June 2020, 08:38 AM

100. Beyonce - Brown Skin Girl (with Saint Jhn & Wizkid feat. Blue Ivy Carter) - 4.86
99. Michelle Williams - Fearless - 4.93
98. Destiny's Child - Get On The Bus (with Timbaland) - 4.954
97. Beyonce - Diva - 4.958
96. Beyonce - Love in This Club Part II (with Usher & Lil Wayne) - 5.04
95. Destiny's Child - Stand Up For Love - 5.05
94. Beyonce - Spirit - 5.1
93. Michelle Williams - The Greatest - 5.125 (less 9s)
92. Beyonce - Summer (as The Carters with Jay Z) - 5.125 (more 9s)
91. Beyonce - Before I Let Go - 5.15

More mostly average songs out now, Brown Skin Girl is forever underrated on Buzzjack for whatever reason and should 100% be at least 50 places higher tbh

Posted by: vibe 23rd June 2020, 02:21 PM

With Me
Get On The Bus
Videophone

All out way too soon !!

Posted by: Slick 23rd June 2020, 02:24 PM

'Diva' should be at least 40-50 places higher. I HATED it when it came out (I bet my posts about it on this forum are a right hoot) but it's grown on me so much.

Posted by: Scene 24th June 2020, 11:42 AM

What a bunch of average nondescript songs.

Posted by: HausofGhibli 24th June 2020, 06:21 PM

> catching up

109. Beyonce - Part II (On The Run) (with Jay Z) - 4.4
105. Beyonce - Video Phone (Solo or feat. Lady Gaga) - 4.66 (less 9s)
101. Beyonce - Ego - 4.79

From the first batch, these I can all see why they are so low but really they deserve to be a bit higher :') Shocked about Part II in particular ohmy.gif

From the next set, Diva is far, far too low! Mess. Excited to see how the rest of this turns out biggrin.gif

Posted by: Dexton 25th June 2020, 07:17 AM

90. Michelle Williams - Believe In Me - 5.18
89. Kelly Rowland - Gone (with Nelly) - 5.22 (less 7.5s)
88. Kelly Rowland - Kelly - 5.22 (more 7.5s)
87. Beyonce - Lift Off (with Jay Z & Kanye West) - 5.227
86. Beyonce - Apeshit (as The Carters with Jay Z) - 5.33
85. Beyonce - Here We Go (with Trina) - 5.38
84. Beyonce - Feeling Myself (with Nicki Minaj) - 5.4
83. Kelly Rowland - Ice (feat. Lil Wayne) - 5.5
82. Beyonce - Work It Out - 5.41
81. Kelly Rowland - Train On A Track - 5.55

A big chunk of Beyonce singles are out now, including he debut Work It Out!, and a more recent effort in Apeshit which was part of her and Jay Z's The Carters project. This is the highest a 'Carters song will be in this rate, although Beyonce + Jay Z will be returning! We also lose quite a few Kelly Rowland singles although nothing to be sad about kink.gif

Posted by: vibe 25th June 2020, 09:02 AM

I love Ice

But Gone was very disappointing .

Posted by: Scene 26th June 2020, 12:43 PM

82. Beyonce - Work It Out - 5.41
81. Michelle Williams - Train On A Track - 5.55

Not Work It Out being out so soon. sad.gif So underrated in Bey's discography. My appreciation for it returned after Fourth Impact's performance on XF in 2015. *.* Train On A Track is by Kelly Rowland! laugh.gif

What is 'APESHIT' doing that low! That's easily one of the best things she's done in recent years.

(I mean I shouldn't be surprised as it's basically a Migos song but still xx)

Posted by: Dexton 26th June 2020, 04:03 PM

80. Michelle Williams - Hello Heartbreak - 5.56
79. Beyonce - Party (feat. Andre 3000) - 5.59
78. Kelly Rowland - Invincible (with Tinie Tempah) - 5.63
77. Beyonce - I Care - 5.72
76. Michelle Williams - Say Yes (feat. Beyonce & Kelly Rowland) - 5.75
75. Destiny's Child - Nasty Girl - 5.77
74. Beyonce - Ring The Alarm - 5.91
73. Beyonce - Until The End Of Time (with Justin Timberlake) - 5.95
72. Beyonce - Get Me Bodied - 6
71. Kelly Rowland - Lay It On Me (feat. Big Sean) - 6.05

We've now lost all but one Michelle song! nocheer.gif I will confirm it'll be a little while until We Break The Dawn is out at least x We lose some decent-good songs here in Ring The Alarm and Say Yes especially, the latter of which is apparently well liked on Buzzjack. Or at the very least, only the people who like it have anything to say about it and everyone else stays quiet (re: AF Idol discussions) laugh.gif

As a bit of trivia/to inspire some predictions: #2 will be a MASSIVE shock to I think everyone here; the Top 20 contains some questionable singles you would not otherwise expect; and one of Beyonce's biggest hits is about to miss out on Top 60!

#2: I think it will be When Love Takes Over perhaps?
Beyonce hit that misses top 60: Single Ladies

Posted by: #VoteGarden.keh 26th June 2020, 09:03 PM

I think I forgot to send in my votes for this- glad to see Spirit do so badly- despise that song, so cheesy.

Single Ladies to do worse than expected too please

Posted by: Dexton 29th June 2020, 08:03 AM

62 for Single Ladies!!! Didn’t expect that but not surprised, one of her worst ever songs for me

Posted by: Slick 29th June 2020, 04:47 PM

Work It Out, Ice, Single Ladies, Get Me Bodied, Why Don't You Love Me? all SO LOW.

MESS.

Posted by: vibe 29th June 2020, 04:54 PM

No No No out !!!

Agreed - MESS !!

Posted by: HausofGhibli 29th June 2020, 06:23 PM

Single Ladies performing as atrociously as that... Don't tell Jay mellow.gif

The Girl Is Mine (with 99 Souls & Brandy) deserved more too, but understandable why it's so low against the artists' "proper" releases ~

Posted by: Dexton 30th June 2020, 12:44 AM

I’m not surprised at Single Ladies result but I do wish it had at least made Top 50 over some of what is to come! That said, this is a great collection of singles and especially from now the quality just gets better and better. Expect more shocks to come x

Posted by: Dexton 30th June 2020, 04:25 PM

60. Kelly Rowland - Down For Whatever (feat. The WAVs) - 6.4
59. Beyonce - Run The World (Girls) - 6.41
58. Beyonce - Mi Gente Remix (with J Balvin & Willy William) - 6.5
57. Beyonce - 03 Bonnie & Clyde (with Jay Z) - 6.58
56. Kelly Rowland - Coffee - 6.61
55. Beyonce - Hymn For The Weekend (with Coldplay) - 6.66 (less 10s)
54. Beyonce - Check On It (feat. Bun B & Slim Thug) - 6.66 (more 10s)
53. Kelly Rowland - What A Feeling (with Alex Gaudino) - 6.68
52. Beyonce - Hold Up - 6.72
51. Beyonce - Put It In A Love Song (with Alicia Keys) - 6.75 (less 11s)

Bit of a shock exit for Check On It which I would firmly put in the Top 50, whist I also wish Mi Gente and Hymn For The Weekend had a better showing although I'm not too surprised there. What A Feeling is a classic dance tune I'll always associate with 2010s dance music - similar could also be argued for Run The World (Girls)

~

Down For Whatever has been robbed
And Mi Gente

Posted by: Scene 30th June 2020, 07:31 PM

57. Beyonce - 03 Bonnie & Clyde (with Jay Z) - 6.58

frankie.png too low!

Posted by: George.keh 30th June 2020, 10:37 PM

Justice for What A Feeling an absolute banger

Posted by: Liam.k. 1st July 2020, 06:47 PM

Top 50 time seems like a good place to jump into the countdown! My thoughts so far:

'Perfect Duet' did not deserve bottom 3. I get that it's overplayed and refuses to leave the chart but I think it's one of Ed's best and Beyonce is a great addition to the song.

Pleased that 'Diva' at least made the Top 100 as it could easily have achieved a lower score, but it deserves so much better. Like Slick, I did hate it at first but that's due to 11/12 year old me hating anything that wasn't pop. Easily one of her best now, the lyrics are so catchy and I love the attitude of the track.

Shocked at 'The Girl is Mine' and 'Hymn for the Weekend' appearing so low, I swear they've been unfairly rated just because they're not either artists' 'proper' releases as Bal put it.

Buzzjack showing they're bizarre taste again with 'Single Ladies' placing at #62.

Didn't get chance to rate Kelly's songs but 'Down For Whatever' would have been at least a 9. What a banger!

Posted by: Bré 2nd July 2020, 08:11 AM

Single Ladies and Run The World are both far too high xx (Down For Whatever and Hold Up as well actually lol)

That is most of the songs that I strongly dislike gone before the top 50 though, not bad really!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd July 2020, 12:32 PM

Some real shit out here, thank god. Although cry.gif at 'Why Don't You Love Me?'

Posted by: Dexton 2nd July 2020, 05:02 PM

50. Beyonce - Green Light - 6.75 (more 11s)
49. Destiny's Child - Girl - 6.772 (less 10s)
48. Beyonce - Flawless (feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie or Nicki Minaj) - 6.75 (more 10s)
47. Kelly Rowland - Daylight (feat. Travis McCoy) - 6.833 (less 11s)
46. Beyonce - XO - 6.833 (more 11s)
45. Beyonce - Savage Remix (with Megan Thee Stallion) - 6.875
44. Kelly Rowland - Rose Colored Glasses - 7.05
43. Michelle Williams - We Break The Dawn - 7.05 (more 11s)
42. Beyonce - Deja Vu (feat. Jay Z) - 7.083 (less 10s)
41. Beyonce - Listen - 7.083 (more 10s)

And that's it for Michelle! Her last song exits at #43. Not even cracking the Top 40 what a brave girl x Speaking of a girl, outpeaking it's remix/sample/whatever you wanna call it is the original Girl from Destiny's Child also missing the Top 40 along with some more notable hits. Theres some immediate shocks like XO, Listen, and to a lesser degree Flawless and Savage Remix, whilst I'm not overly surprised at Daylight and Deja Vu not doing overly well.

Lot's more tiebreakers in this batch too, it seems they never stop :lol:

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd July 2020, 11:54 PM

'Deja Vu' is underappreciated, and 'XO' is one of her absolute best.

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd July 2020, 02:11 AM

'Diva' should have been bottom 2 with Video Phone in all honesty. puke.gif

But These results are going pretty expectedly for the most part, I'd say on a personal level 'Single Ladies' is probably about in it's right place, but I expected higher for it! But I know it's a very mixed bag on here with that song, always has been!

I will forever die on the hill that 'Check On It' is severely underrated! sad.gif What an absolute banger that is. But again, I can't say I'm too surprised at it's positioning. 'We Break The Dawn' deserved top 10, but it's slightly over performed my expectations! A SONG! 'Rose Colored Glasses' is beautiful. I'm lowkey surprised that made top 50! ohmy.gif

'XO' disgustingly low! I always thought it was appreciated a lot more than DIL until quite recently... which baffles me :\ Was it because it wasn't a bigger hit? Knowing Buzzjack, probably yes.

Posted by: UltraBeKind 3rd July 2020, 02:26 AM

I missed the rate but Listen & We Break The Dawn deserved so much better cry.gif

1. It's a nonevent compared to the dynamic DIL.
2. It's a "wtf" lead single when they literally had top bops in DIL and Blow.
3. It's lacklustre compared to the rest of both Tedder's production discography and self-titled's tracklist.

All this tbh. It's a song that should be much better than it is, like it's less than the sum of its parts.

To be fair DIL was also a lead single technically, I suppose so XO can target pop audiences and DIL the hip hop audience. But even then it doesn’t quite work. A misfire for sure but I suppose both songs still did reasonably well commercially, despite not being huge hits

Posted by: vibe 3rd July 2020, 04:44 PM

I would have thought Listen would have been higher.

Posted by: Liam.k. 3rd July 2020, 05:45 PM

I did too tbh. I like it but not love it like I used to. I'm not sure if being overused on X Factor has spoilt it slightly.

If my memory serves me right, 'XO' was the lead single ('Blow' was an early option too right? But label was told it was too explicit for radio or something) and DIL only got made a single because it did well on album release.

Partly true although XO and DIL are both listed as lead singles. XO was pushed as a single 3 days after album release and DIL 4 days

Imo it should have been DIL then Blow and skip XO all together

Posted by: Bré 4th July 2020, 02:00 AM

I definitely remember 'XO' being given the single push in the UK first despite 'Drunk In Love' clearly being more popular.

Not a big fan of 'XO' but she has far worse. On the other hand 'Drunk In Love' is her best song soooo

'***Flawless' is too low, an iconic song! (The Chimamanda version that is)

Returning to the countdown, we see Beyonce being absolutely slaughtered drama.gif Some great songs are eliminated here. The 1-2-3 punch of losing Sorry, Freedom, AND Formation here leaves us with just All Night left from the Lemonade era. Ironic considering how badly it performed in the Single of the Decade survivor... Also gone are some bops from Kelly and Destiny's Child, Emotion of which I kind of expected to be higher up although Top 40 is probably where I would rank it personally tbh.

20. Beyonce - Naughty Girl - 8.041 (less 9s)
The fourth and final single from Dangerously in Love, here is Naughty Girl opening our Top 20. It became her fourth consecutive Top 10 hit in the US and further secured her name in the music industry. I feel this typically gets the least love out of the four singles from this album but I'm glad to be proven wrong with it out-doing both Baby Boy and Me, Myself, and I!

19. Destiny's Child - Independent Women Part I - 8.041 (more 9s)
The soundtrack single for Charlie's Angels released in 2000, imo both this song and the movie are far better than what 2019 gave us! Indepndent Women Part I became a massive worldwide hit and was the first to feature Michelle Williams as the newest member of Destiny's Child.

A recent entry to AF Idol which knocked us out of the contest nocheer.gif This was a Top 20 hit in the US but didn't perform overly well anywhere else. I'm really glad it's managed Top 20 here though as it's one of my favourites from Kelly, it's a smooth r&b jam I'm always in the mood for.

17. Destiny's Child - Bootylicious - 8.083 (less 11s)
On the flip side we now have a huge commercial smash from Destiny's Child's prime, Bootylicious. #1 in the US, #2 in the UK, this was huge and is rightfully this high in the results.

11. Beyonce - Beautiful Liar (with Shakira) - 8.458


As we reach the Top 10 we lose not one but two Beyonce collabs! I was very shocked to see Telephone not even Top 10 here considering Buzzjacks love for both that track and Lady Gaga in general. Beautiful Liar is great to see so high though, and I'm not entirely surprised that Survivor is the 3rd DC single left standing - with Lose My Breath and Say My Name yet to come they definitely feel like the Top 3 Destiny's Child hits.

With these out of the way, it means the Top 10 is 50% Kelly Rowland! A shock if ever I've seen one tbh. Then we have 3 Beyonce tracks and 2 Destiny's Child to go. If Kelly wins maybe we should change to "Kelly Rowland and Destiny's Child Forum"...

10. Destiny's Child - Say My Name - 8.5

The third single from their second album 'Writings on the Wall'. The whole era was a huge worldwide success but this song specifically represented a crucial moment in their future. This song was recorded by the four original members of the band: Beyoncé, Kelly, LeToya, and LaTavia. However when the video dropped, LeToya and LaTavia were conspicuously absent and replaced with two new girls: Michelle Williams (who remained in Destiny’s Child until their final album in 2004) and Farrah Franklin (who lasted five months). It's a huge song, one of my very favourites from them and apparently many others judging by this rate!

Posted by: HausofGhibli 13th July 2020, 08:36 PM

Telephone missing the top 10 is fair enough here given it's only a Beyonce feature, but it is still a stomper. Shocked that Beautiful Liar has beaten it though!

I somewhat disagree there, the original is an awful dirge but the Freemasons remix somewhat transforms it.

Not necessarily to something I listen to out of choice, but something I get my life to on the dancefloor.

9. Beyonce - Drunk In Love (feat. Jay Z) - 8.58

One of two lead singles from Beyonce's self-titled album, we have Drunk In Love at #9! I would honestly rate this as my very top Beyonce song tbh. It's a continuation of sorts of their biggest hit together, Crazy In Love, touching more on their love as a married couple and basically sex as a married couple (with some alcohol thrown in there). It's sexy, it's strong, it's empowering it's everything you want out of a Beyonce song and more. I'm gutted it's not at least Top 5, but 8.58 is a great score and the songs above this are generally great too.

Posted by: Dexton 15th July 2020, 06:02 PM

8. Beyonce - Crazy In Love (feat. Jay Z) - 8.625

Next is the other big Bey + Jay collab, Crazy In Love! Most likely this is both his and hers biggest hit by quite some margin. This is probbaly my second favourite from Beyonce tbh, I know this is likely a lot of people's go-to song but for good reason. It's just that summer banger that literally everybody knows.
A very respectable 8.625... but at #8 it means we 100% have a new winner as the last rate in the forum ended up with Crazy In Love at #1! Very interesting indeed...

Posted by: Dexton 16th July 2020, 04:22 PM

7. Kelly Rowland - Work (Original or Freemasons Remix) - 8.681

FINALLY a Kelly song is out drama.gif I do wish it wasn't this out yet though... Following on from Crazy In Love it's only fair that this is yet another iconic song from the 00's, albeit less iconic (although there are very few other songs as iconic as CIN tbf). The original is an r&b anthem in it's own right but then the remix comes along and it bangs *.* Arguably one of my favourite ever remixes and I'm so glad it's made the Top 10!

6. Kelly Rowland - Dilemma (with Nelly) - 8.81

Now for another Kelly single, this time it's her solo debut with Nelly which was one of the biggest songs of the year and arguably the most successful song of both Kelly and Nelly's respective careers. It's Kelly's highest selling single in the US and in the UK! I loooove this song so much I gave it one of my 11's.

Lose My Breath to storm the win plz. I like the rest, but there are far better and more worthy songs of being top 5 cry.gif

I suspect 'When Love Takes Over' will win.

Posted by: George.keh 21st July 2020, 12:25 PM

So so so pleased with that top 5!

Posted by: Dexton 21st July 2020, 02:24 PM

5. Kelly Rowland - Stole - 8.85

First out in the Top 5 is a song I did not expect to be this high when the rate started, but I'm kinda happy it got this far. Following on from the smash hit that was Dilemma, Stole was the lead single from Kelly's debut album.

Posted by: Dexton 21st July 2020, 03:54 PM

4. Beyonce - Sweet Dreams - 8.91

Wow! So that's it for Beyonce, out at #4 with only 'Lose My Breath' remaining in terms of songs she has any involvement with laugh.gif I was shocked that this wasn't Top 2, just as shocked that Crazy In Love wasn't #1 tbh. Sweet Dreams was a single from the I Am... Sasha Fierce album (another one) and actually wasn't a massive hit, it's a decently well known song although mostly in the UK which explains it's popularity on Buzzjack!

It's a battle between Destiny's Child and Kelly Rowland (and David Guetta laugh.gif) for the #1!

David Guetta performing better than Beyonce in her own rate. tearsmile.gif

Posted by: George.keh 21st July 2020, 07:16 PM

Omg slay Kelly!!! All top 5 songs are FAB as I’ve said but Commander and Sweet Dreams would be my top 2 out of what’s left!

Posted by: vibe 22nd July 2020, 11:52 AM

Stole is so so good !!

It would have reached number 1 possibly if released earlier. It was on the import charts for about 7 weeks (from memory).

3. Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over (with David Guetta) - 9.09 (less 11s)

It's a tie for 2nd and 3rd... with the song in #3 being a revolutionary dance track by David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland! This song essentially started the trend of pop singers collaborating with producers which is still a popular trend today (although David Guetta doesn't exactly get huge hits anymore). It's euphoric and such a feel good song, one of Kelly's best for sure dance.gif

Posted by: George.keh 23rd July 2020, 05:23 PM

Omg I thought this was gonna be top 2!!! Commander omg

Posted by: HausofGhibli 23rd July 2020, 05:38 PM

Kelly smashing this top 10! I am happy to see Dilemma smashing in particular! Sweet Dreams would have made a great winner, so I am gutted to see it "only" 4th ohmy.gif

Posted by: Dexton 23rd July 2020, 06:13 PM

2. Kelly Rowland - Commander (feat. David Guetta) - 9.09 (more 11s)

And #2 is the second David Guetta collab here and imo this doesn't come anywhere near When Love Takes Over. It's a great dance song sure but I don't think it should be this high laugh.gif Still I'm glad Kelly has so many fans here!

1. Destiny's Child - Lose My Breath - 9.25

And here is our winner! One of Destiny's Child's biggest and most iconic hits, Lose My Breath, credited to the final (and best) lineup of the group! I'm so glad this has won. There's very few other Destiny's Child singles that are as well liked as this, pretty much every other song has its fair share of lovers and haters yet this song got one 11 and five 10's!

I'll just add here that if not for Nick F1's -1 to Crazy In Love, it would have been the #1 song with a score of 9.5!
Thanks to everyone who got involved with this rate and tuned in for the results!

Didn’t get round to voting in this but Commander would have definitely got my 11 and Crazy In Love would have probably got a 4/5 :/

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th July 2020, 11:00 AM

A very worthy winner, I'm really not sure about 'Commander' beating 'When Love Takes Over' though.

Posted by: Scene 26th July 2020, 10:23 PM

Kelly officially the most popular DC member. ohmy.gif The forum should definitely be called "Kelly and co". kink.gif

Posted by: Jonjoliday 8th August 2020, 09:07 PM

Commander is ridiculously high. It's a bop, but top 2!? Nahhhh.

Amazing winner though. So timeless!

Posted by: Nick F1 8th August 2020, 10:10 PM

Amazing to see so many Kelly singles in top 10!
Decent winner but Work >>>>>>

Posted by: HausofGhibli 16th August 2020, 09:45 PM

What a brilliant and unexpected(?) top 2 ohmy.gif

Kelly absolutely dominating the top 10 is also a massive shock to see! I love the Beyonce songs included in the top 10 though - Sweet Dreams and Drunk In Love deserved more though even though they did brilliantly.

Thanks for hosting this mammoth task, it's not an easy feat but it was done fantastically wub.gif

Renaming the forum now! laugh.gif

I was very shocked when I was compiling these results, obviously while the rates were coming in I could see that Kelly was doing well (perhaps favoured partly due to the fact she hasn't had a rate before?) but I didn't realise how crazy it would turn out until the end! Commander is around 10-15 places to high imo... it's a good song but the fact it's Top 10 over Survivor, Bootylicious, Telephone, and If I Were A Boy had me shook *.*

I don't think we could've asked for a much better winner though. Lose My Breath is indeed a timeless classic and as always well-loved on Buzzjack pretty much by all
