Zara Larsson

18th - 0.399537287



BuzzJack icons Lotita and JosephStyles pose with the poster girl herself, Zara Larsson!

Lee is unavailable for comment, but I imagine he would have this to say about 18th place: The way Zara is being slept on, she honestly stood no chance during this contest when an artist can send an appalling song but smash it.

Round 2: 16th [24/53] (tied) Poster Girl

Olivia Rodrigo

17th - 0.409739443

Olivia deserved better than this but for someone with only 1 album and literally all her songs being from 2021 (bar all I want & a couple less relevant HSM: TM: TS songs), she slayed this to not even finish in the bottom quarter of the results *.* These rounds gave us a chance to show y'all most of Olivia's big hits, from breaking hearts everywhere with drivers license to the epic cruel summer sampling on deja vu to banger of life and unquestionably the song of 2021 good 4 u! <3 They all did ok but got eaten up by the older classics in their round, I'm sure this time in like 5 years they'll be slaying these tho x We also sent two songs which verge the line of being album tracks/singles at this point with videos/some pushes but also not really being pushed laugh.gif I was impressed how traitor performed as you guys showed more taste than the chart forum! And I'm glad we sent brutal which I think definitely showed another side of Olivia to most of y'all and it was great to see some new and surprising fans voting for here and enjoying the music that we sent and discovering how talented Olivia already is <3 But anyway 17th is too low so well... good 4 you, you look happy and healthy... not me cos I'm now like a damn sociopath.

Taking over, or deleting it? sarah11.png!!

17th seems very respectable for Olivia, considering that she's such a new artist with just one album! *.*

Zara and Olivia both deserved better. good 4 u 18th?! huh.gif

I suppose 17th overall isn't bad for Olivia given how new of an artist she is though.

Olivia's done well considering the field she's competing in, she's beaten artists with far more expansive discographies!

Rita Ora

16th - 0.41828841

I feel like Rita is an odd one in this contest... she has the bangers to back her up and get her far enough, but unfortunately she can never *quite* get enough love to move further. I had planned to try and be a bit more strategic/aim for the longer game, but Joseph & Jay knew she wouldn't go far anyway so wanted to see where the biggest hitters would land her. Definitely could've been worse for her, but one day, we will get her further pirate.gif The absolute anthem 'I Will Never Let You Down' ended up being her biggest hit in this edition... WE STAN!

(commentary by Tafty³³³)

Round 1: 8th [36/60] I Will Never Let You Down
Round 2: 18th [21/53] The One (feat. Imanbek)
Round 3: 21st [20/53] (tied) R.I.P. (feat. Tinie Tempah)

Calvin Harris

15th - 0.47787062

A triumphant win in Round 5 with 'We Found Love' (SNATCHED before Rihanna's forum could use it themselves) really improved Calvin Harris' average score across the 5 rounds. Unfortunately for him it was not quite enough to claw his way into the Top 12. A respectable result though, which makes Calvin the highest placed male artist forum!

(commentary by Jay)

Round 1: 14th [25/60] (tied) I'm Not Alone
Round 2: 19th [19/53] Faith
Round 3: 13th [27/53] This Is What You Came For (feat. Rihanna)
Round 4: 18th [18/56] Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean)

Agreed with you both cry.gif Round 5 was certainly a bloodbath, but I was a little surprised that Rita didn't pick up more votes - at the time it was a hit it seemed like a huuuuge BuzzJack fave! Nice that Never Let You Down managed Top 10 for her at least!

As I said in the commentary, a respectable result for Calvin! I actually love This Is What You Came For but I know it had a very mixed response on BuzzJack... so it coming 13th was probably no surprise. Deserved more x

Yeah, that's a decent placing for Calvin! Placing higher than some of the pop girls. Good stuff.

Best songs released in 2021 in this countdown hands down heart.gif

Rita's problem is that she doesn't really have a personality compared to the big stars.
