BuzzJack Music Forum _ Buzzjack Song Contest _ CONFIRMATIONS - BJSC CXXVI

Posted by: Qween 24th July 2020, 03:28 PM

Welcome all to Darpabrak for the first phase of the 126th Buzzjack Song Contest.



From the moment you read this you will be able to confirm your chosen artist and song for this months contest.
This does not apply to anyone who failed to vote in the final last month, you have been cast out and thus your entry is unwanted.

You may enter by completing the following https://forms.gle/QZHdaayUD3r1txL97, after which your entry will be subject to the following http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=196914. If your entry is deemed to be unsuitable it will be mercilessly culled and you will need to submit a replacement.

Please take the time to check you have not sent a song which has already been entered into a prior edition of the contest, or a song by, or featuring, one of the following artists who placed in last months top 3:
Nova Miller
Izzy Bizu
Noonie Bao

You are also unable to send the same artist as you sent last month, no matter what level of BOP they may have laid down in the preceding weeks.
However, you may feel free to enter an artist someone else sent last month if you are okay with being side eyed into oblivion.

You have until 23:59 (UK Time) on Thursday 30th of July to submit your entry.

In very quick with my confirmation this month. I had a couple of potentials hanging over from last month but have gone with something I heard a couple of weeks ago and very quickly fell in love with.

Posted by: Dobbo 24th July 2020, 03:39 PM

That's the earliest I've confirmed in yonks, down to very fortunate timing more than anything!

Posted by: lewistgreen 24th July 2020, 03:44 PM

Straight in there with my confirmation. Ready to flop x

Posted by: Codeiric Diary 24th July 2020, 03:44 PM

I went with the cheap route but I have a backup which will for sure DNQ just in case

I’m just desperate lol

Posted by: RobBot 24th July 2020, 03:45 PM

f***, I was meant to be on top of this because I feel like my entry could be very in demand and I'll be gutted if I don't get it.

Posted by: RobBot 24th July 2020, 03:51 PM

I just know we've all gone for the same thing. laugh.gif

Posted by: Jack 24th July 2020, 05:06 PM

Sent a Kelly Clarkson/Jordon Sparks esque pop rock bop!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 24th July 2020, 05:13 PM

Gone (for now) with my <10 views song. I may also be breaking my 'no Americans' rule as I can't find anything about this person online whatsoever.

Posted by: Dexton 24th July 2020, 05:27 PM

For once I actually have a lot of potentials so I need a day or two to decide!

Posted by: Bré 24th July 2020, 05:42 PM

Confirmed my song now. This is the first time this year I've gone for an artist not from the UK or the USA (gone Swedish this time). Aren't I being boring ~

Posted by: Cameron 24th July 2020, 05:45 PM

I adore my entry this month. Call me excited for something different!

Posted by: J00psyMethyd 24th July 2020, 05:45 PM

I'm very tempted to switch to dance for another top 15 but you've got my pop rock one for now as planned

Posted by: Rob S 24th July 2020, 06:07 PM

Confirmed, was going send another pop song as I was really struggling to find anything but then found this other song jumped out at me the other day and now am way more content with it (the pop one could be a hit too though)!

Posted by: Chez Wombat 24th July 2020, 06:16 PM

I actually have a number of potentials, one I just heard today on my run! ohmy.gif But I do see it has a more blog coverage than my entries usually do so I might hold off a bit and use one of my older ones (*someone enters it here and it smashes*)

Posted by: LexC 24th July 2020, 07:04 PM

New Lexico are in with another scandi bop.

Also peaking behind the curtain I can see that two of my three other potentials have been sent so I'm expecting to seethe with jealousy while they both smash!

Posted by: Quarantilas 24th July 2020, 08:27 PM

I have confirmed a little something a friend introduced me to earlier and I am living for

You're good!

Up to 27 entries so far and, apart from the already resolved Altyr/Cor Lupus/Hendinia clash, there haven't been any other artist or song clashes so far. Though there is at least one entry that will 100% be vetoed so should probably get on that ASAP. x

Posted by: Codeiric Diary 25th July 2020, 05:56 AM

And I am most certainly DNQing because of that clash so I blame John x

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 25th July 2020, 07:39 AM

Confirmed with something I hope will do quite well which is unusual, so hopefully not setting myself up for a disappointment

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 25th July 2020, 12:33 PM

Gone for some German synthpop this month wink.gif

Posted by: lewistgreen 25th July 2020, 12:37 PM

I only heard my entry on Monday and already I'm full on loving it, I hope the rest of you enjoy it. I feel like every time I don't go dance these days it's a risk sad.gif

Posted by: Cameron 25th July 2020, 12:40 PM

I remember the days where song clashes meant veto ala Billie 'Give Me The Knife' laugh.gif

Posted by: Chez Wombat 25th July 2020, 01:38 PM

I've sent something less contentious for now, going with similar vibes to Jade this month cool.gif

Posted by: n'tAlice 25th July 2020, 01:47 PM

Stuck between Portuguese 80s-inspired synthpop and Libyan synthpop (half-Arabic, half-English). Both male vocals oops

I'm liable to change my entry and fortunately this is out of too many tracks I love rather than just having a placeholder. But currently I'm on my first guitar-based entry since 2018 and unlike many others, it's not a recycle yay.

Posted by: Bré 29th July 2020, 11:14 PM

About 24 hours left to enter y'all ~

Up to 53 confirmed nations so far, currently missing the following who entered last contest:

Cadelicia
Daehun
Jayrusalem
Lotunia
POPHub
Ramrynia
Singerpurear
Tartford
Trifoski
Ultraviolenceland (I feel like it's poor timing for Sam to be caring about any music other than Taylor kink.gif)

LMAO! Poor Sam.

I don't think she's listened to (or particularly cares about lmao) anything else this week! laugh.gif

It isn't already taken but it is currently on the Radio 1 A-List which makes it an automatic veto so your backup will be necessary anyway kink.gif

someone finally tried to enter rain on me :')

will send another shortly

Posted by: Popchartfreak 30th July 2020, 04:01 PM

sent a 2014 unavailable remix of a 50-year-old worldwide flop album track from an obscure US act that hit in South Africa years later and became a 21st century cult success without having to die first. I'd never heard of him or the track until just over a week ago.

I'm pretty sure no-one will ever enter or playlist this one.......!

5 of the last 7 entries we've received were either already taken or auto-vetoes (and, in one case, both). Does anyone want to come through with a less problematic last minute entry? laugh.gif

Posted by: Qween 30th July 2020, 07:06 PM

Well, if you come to Altyr I guess it’s only right and proper to be as cheap and problematic as possible in our honour .

Posted by: Quarantilas 30th July 2020, 07:37 PM

Is there only one music blog left? laugh.gif can’t remember the last time there was so many double and triple confirmations!



Defo keeping us busy this month!!




Welcome back Tom!!!

Posted by: Oliver 30th July 2020, 08:21 PM

Reconfirmed, but I'll continue looking as I've been incredibly silly leaving it this late.

Posted by: gooddelta 30th July 2020, 08:23 PM

Interested to see the vetos! Triple confirmations, they must be tipped to do well if not vetoed ohmy.gif

Great to have Numayania back cheer.gif

Posted by: RobBot 30th July 2020, 08:26 PM

I must say I'm surprised there hasn't been a veto yet given a certain song was triple confirmed in the past 20 minutes laugh.gif

Posted by: Bré 30th July 2020, 08:26 PM

These have been vetoed:

Aly & AJ - Joan Of Arc On The Dance Floor 39
- artist DNQed in BJSC 2, came 9th in BJSC 18 and 2nd in BJSC 122 3+12
- artist had 5 US Hot 100 hits between 2005 and 2008 12
- currently #41 on the BuzzJack multichart, peaked at #38 and has been charting for 8 weeks 12
- low to mid level blog coverage

Duke Dumont and Say Lou Lou - Nightcrawler (Tensnake Remix) 34.75
- Say Lou Lou came 14th in BJSC 48, 19th (as featured artist) in BJSC 51 and 4th in BJSC 114 3+12
- Tensnake came 18th in BJSC 54, 30th in BJSC 58 and DNQed in BJSC 63 0.75
- Duke Dumont had 5 UK top 40 hits in 2013-2017 12
- double confirmed (other confirmation was for original version) 7
- appeared in 2 personal charts (Dan, Thom Kay), original version has appeared in more charts
- low to mid level blog coverage for both original and remix

Yves V - Home Now (feat. Alida) 34
- Alida came 2nd in BJSC 58, 14th in BJSC 98 and 15th (as featured artist) in BJSC 108 (sole vocalist so full veto points counted) 5+12
- Yves V had a very minor UK hit last year ('We Got That Cool' (feat. Afrojack and Icona Pop), peaked at #68)
- double confirmed 7
- heavily samples 'Ecuador' by Sash! (UK #2 hit) 10
- appeared in 2 personal charts, 1 of which is a current BJSC participant (Dan)
- mid level blog coverage

SUNMI - pporappippam 27
- artist DNQed in BJSCs 93, 99 and 101 and came 13th in BJSC 108 10+7
- charted at #5 in South Korea this year 10
- appeared in 2 personal charts, 1 of which is a BJSC participant (Bré)
- standard K-Pop blog coverage

John also changed away from it before it could be officially vetoed but to avoid the question of if it would then be allowed to get through for someone else we also pre-emptively vetoed Hanna Ferm - Sweet Temptation via mod discretion due to being confirmed 3 times in the first 15 minutes.

Everything else confirmed so far (as of about an hour ago) should be fine unless there are any last minute changes of circumstances (i.e. if we get yet more double confirmations lmao)

I really like 'pporappippam' (rare for a K-Pop song) but SUNMI is just too overused still.

Oh Aly & AJ and Hanna Ferm were vetoed a few days ago, just not posted at the time. The others should have been sent out now too.

Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 30th July 2020, 08:48 PM

SUNMI won UKMIX song contest just 2 days ago and I lowkey wanted to confirm but now glad I decided to skip it!!!

Posted by: Bré 30th July 2020, 08:54 PM

SUNMI won PopJustice's song contest as well (first K-Pop song to ever win there, and I dare say it might have been a possible first ever BJSC K-Pop winner as well? but alas)

I do recommend people listen to it anyway xox

Posted by: UltraFolklore 30th July 2020, 09:08 PM

I have confirmed, and I may reconfirm within the next couple hours

edit: f*** it, I'm happy with it and don't wanna turn off folklore so that entry will do x

Posted by: Thom Kay 30th July 2020, 09:13 PM

Reconfirmed, more out of desperation than anything else though lol

Posted by: Bré 30th July 2020, 09:16 PM

And we have another double confirmation!!!

(don't worry Tom, it's not you again laugh.gif have messaged the person responsible x)

You'd have thought that with the relatively big gap between contests there'd be less, not more, room for people to have settled on the same songs. xx

I must have stepped out of a Tardis to the early-mid 2010s seeing all these confirmation clashes.
great to see someone else here appreciates the Tensnake remix of Nightcrawler anyhow, it's better than the original in my view. that Yves V song is rather good too and the other vetoes sound decent on a first listen.

Posted by: Bré 30th July 2020, 10:45 PM

Sweet Temptation is a good song as well, I can definitely see why so many people had it on their radar. Would also have done really well I'm sure. (And for what it's worth it finished 2nd to SUNMI on PopJustice lol)

Posted by: RobBot 30th July 2020, 10:48 PM

Posted by: *Callum 30th July 2020, 10:59 PM

Okay I have resubmitted my entry and it’s quite different to Sweet Temptation but hopefully will go over equally as well lol

Posted by: gooddelta 30th July 2020, 11:15 PM

Is there a maximum number of confirmations a song can have before it’s an auto veto? laugh.gif

I’ve heard Sweet Temptation three or four times but despite the hype, I can’t properly get into it so far. Needless to say it would have been a potential winner here though.

I think someone needs to submit Sweet Temptation by The Temper Traps now just to complete this mess


Probably wouldn't work so well given it's called Sweet Disposition kink.gif

Idk any of these vetoed songs, don't mind me I'm just in a little bubble.

I think this is still the most confirmed song in one contest yes. And then someone sent a different song by her not too long after and it DNQed. laugh.gif

This is the second time this year we've had a quadruple confirmed Scandipop song though (following COY's Promises), it's really like we've gone back in time like a decade to when this happened every month xx

Is there a maximum number of confirmations a song can have before it’s an auto veto? laugh.gif


The framework only goes up to 5 confirmations which is worth 12 veto points, not exactly an auto-veto per se but 12 points is enough for it to be vetoed and at that point it would be pretty much certain to.

In our latest instalment of 'instantly denied entries', one of our double confirmers has reconfirmed... with a song that was already sent a year ago.

Stay tuned for the next episode of this increasingly absurd series. x

And the next episode is here!

Same person's 3rd attempt is also a double confirmation! cheeseblock.png

(sorry I'm spamming this thread too much, I'm just in awe at the repeatedly blocked entries coming in, surely they have to end at some point x)

Posted by: n'tAlice 30th July 2020, 11:46 PM

that's why we need like a cap for vetoes per year lmao

Posted by: Quarantilas 31st July 2020, 05:53 AM

Some people wouldn’t get past the first contest of the year if we did that!! Even if it means more work for us I’m not really in favour of a three strikes style policy although some months it is f***ing tempting.


This month is a slight anomaly though so hopefully things return to normal next month.

Posted by: FrankLuck 31st July 2020, 06:18 AM

Just to make things a bit more complicated... is it too late to confirm? kink.gif

FAYE - Water Against The Rocks

I think I was one of them! We were all basically like omg there’s a new song with that sound that always does well in BJSC

One of those months where the confirmations thread will be longer than the voting ones.

Reconfirmed with a similarly epic entry.

It would have been inappropriate at this point if this wasn't somehow also a double confirmation. biggrin.gif

Your reconfirmation is fine so we're now just waiting for 2 people to settle on an entry that's not already taken. That plus needing to run the last batch of songs through the veto framework which I'll get to shortly. Hope we'll be able to get to the semis today still. x

(Happy to see Land of DW back btw!)

Oh so NOW you all like Hanna Ferm? Where were you when she undeservingly DNQd for Hushky years ago?

she took the pimp slot on meltiest year hunni

'sweet temptation' is as cheap as they come entry-wise

Omg someone else just confirmed SUNMI now as well.

Literally nearly every song coming through today is needing to be reconfirmed immediately. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.



That would be me
And I see my second second choice has also been vetoed laugh.gif (Yves V and Alida)
(I will find something within the next 30 min)

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st July 2020, 06:30 PM

Everyone's going for vetoes and double/triple confirmations whilst I'm quietly sat here with my song which currently has 8 views on YouTube laugh.gif

Right I think we are finally nearly done here, hopefully still on track for semis to be up tonight. Huzzah.

Posted by: Bré 31st July 2020, 07:56 PM

These songs were also vetoed:

TWICE - MORE & MORE 15 / 27?
- charted at #4 in South Korea this year 10
- currently #39 on Japanese Spotify, also charting in most other Asian markets and peaked at #58 on global Spotify earlier in the year 5
- standard K-Pop blog coverage
- artist has been vetoed previously for 'substantial exposure' on the basis of having one of the largest first 24 hour YouTube views ever, this song had a slightly smaller debut but ended up passing 100 million views faster than their previously vetoed song so 'substantial exposure' may still apply here 12?

CXLOE - 12 Steps 22
- artist came 41st in BJSC 103, 7th in BJSC 107 and 2nd in BJSC 117 10+12
- appeared in 1 personal chart (uhsting)
- mid level blog coverage

but we are now done with this for another month ofc, let us pray this month was an anomaly with so many last minute double confirmations and vetoes. xx

Posted by: Oliver 31st July 2020, 08:00 PM

Knew I was being a little cheeky there trying that CXLOE song at 9:30pm on deadline day, but shy bairns get nowt.

Just double checked the submission form and I did enter and name the Pop Mix, so no idea where the club mix has appeared as my entry.

There isn't a 'Pop Mix', 'Matt Pop' is the name of the artist who remixed it. IIRC you confirmed it as just 'Matt Pop Remix' which isn't a tag that's actually used anywhere - admittedly I probably should have retagged it as 'Matt Pop Radio Edit' instead so that's my bad but both versions of the Matt Pop mix are the same apart from the radio edit being a bit shorter.

Yeah, that's I'm not too bothered, but the 5+ minute version is a bit much for a song that barely needs the 3 minutes.

Sorry I meant Radio Edit, I'm not sure why I said pop.

Posted by: Bré 6th August 2020, 12:13 PM

I edited the name in the OP now, the link always went to the radio edit anyway (although it was the longer version in the Spotify playlist oops, so sorry if anyone using that is allergic to slightly extended versions of songs).

It's a great excuse when I DNQ though.
