Ultimate 'Casualties of Streaming' Rate



Believe it or not, we have passed the 5th anniversary of the chart as we knew it being changed forever with the addition of streaming equivalent sales to the chart! What was perhaps a controversial move at the time quickly became a necessity to keep the chart relevant but this unfortunately meant a lot of great songs (and even more not-so great songs) were denied of a top 40 position. For further insight, you can view http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=218504 and the accompanying links.

In this rate, which follows UK #1s in the Ultimate series, we'll be finding which of these songs most deserved an official top 40 peak... but firstly we need to wade through all the filler. Over 450 songs will be eligible for this contest (to be clear: all the songs below made the top 40 in the sales only chart, but did not in the official chart). These have been randomised and split into 12 groups.

The last of these groups is here this week. There will be many songs in each group but only the top five will be guaranteed a place in the final whilst the rest of the top 10 will go to the play-off round. In the event where any of these songs do make the official top 40 they will be removed from the competition.

Simply vote from 5 to 10 songs in each group using the Eurovision voting format. If you want to remind yourself of the songs then click on the Spotify playlists provided.

Don't recall seeing Chip Pan or that Brexit song in any of these groups? No loss other than the amusement of who gets the most -2s.

Oh, I must've forgot to include the Brexit song in this at all.

If anyone wants to (negatively) vote for it, it's now in Group 12.

Just discovered now, thanks to You Tube, that BAMR feat. Caitlyn Vanbeck's Break Your Heart is a dance 'version' of Marillion's Kayleigh.
Pity it's underrated here, it's a great dance version.

+12: Antony and The Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
+10: Nicki Minaj feat. Beyoncé - Feeling Myself

^ really strong top 4!
+6: The Chemical Brothers feat. Q-Tip - Go

+4: David Guetta feat. RAYE - Stay (Don't Go Away)
+3: Ariana Grande - bloodline
+2: T-Wayne - Nasty Freestyle

Close: Under the Shadows (I love a bunch of other songs by Rae, shame I can't give this points too), Testify, Rooting for You, Like Sugar, Sirens

Group 12

+12: Rihanna - Kiss It Better (probably my favourite song in the game )
.
+10: Kiiara - Gold
+8: Tiësto, Jonas Blue & Rita Ora - Ritual
+7: Usher - Crash
+6: Rudimental & Major Lazer feat. Anne-Marie & Mr Eazi - Let Me Live

The pattern of a great group paired with a weaker group continues... I quite like everything in my vote this round though. Close: Run (what a pile-up of Nics in this round!), Summer Nights, All Night

+4: Ariana Grande - bloodline
+3: Chaka Khan - Like Sugar
+2: The Chainsmokers feat. Emily Warren - Side Effects
+1: Nicki Minaj feat. Beyoncé - Feeling Myself

next in line: 'The Queen Is Dead', 'Go', 'Sirens' (I didn't even like this at the time, but I'll forever remember its streaming-caused #41 peak in the very early days of streaming's inclusion and some dramatic reactions), 'Break Your Heart', 'Hypersonic Missiles'

-

+12: John Gibbons feat. Nina Nesbitt - A Spaceman Came Travelling (I'm still kind of amazed at this because I never thought much of John Gibbons' previous covers, nor would I have expected a song from the man behind 'The Lady In Red' to be what changes that)
+10: Kiiara - Gold

+3: Bring Me The Horizon - Throne
+2: Pia Mia - Touch
+1: IDLES Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

next in line: 'Raging', 'Keep Up', 'Listen To The Man', 'Bom Bidi Bom', 'Crash', 'Run' (wish the song Nicole Scherzinger had fruitlessly [in terms of chart success] performed on X Factor had been 'On The Rocks')

I now know that my favourite streaming casualty is one of these

The Avener & Phoebe Killdeer - Fade Out Lines
PRETTYMUCH feat. French Montana - No More
Purple Disco Machine - Dished (Male Stripper)
The 1975 - Somebody Else
Andy C & Fiora - Heartbeat Loud
Meghan Trainor - No Excuses
Little Mix - Is Your Love Enough?
Alicia Keys - In Common
Duke Dumont - Ocean Drive
Just Us - Cloudbusting
Henry Krinkle - Stay
John Gibbons feat. Nina Nesbitt - A Spaceman Came Travelling

Thanks for the bump, I totally forgot I hadn't already done this xx

Group 11

+12 Stay
+10 Go (lol at my top 2 having single word titles that are the opposite of each other x)
+8 WTF (Where They From)
+7 Rooting For You
+6 Stay (Don't Go Away)
+5 Hypersonic Missiles
+4 Believer
+3 Nasty Freestyle (solely for the first 10 seconds basically xx)
+2 Chinatown
+1 Sail On

-2 A Whole New World

Group 12

+12 Gold
+10 Kiss It Better
+8 Listen To The Man
+7 Arcade
+6 All Night
+5 Ritual
+4 Levels
+3 Keep Up
+2 Throne
+1 Raging

-2 A Spaceman Came Travelling (I love the original song but the John Gibbons version makes me want to die)

We saved the worst group for last there, I don't even remember those last 2 songs, I just vaguely recall enjoying them. 'Ritual' getting 5 points when I've heard it once and just thought it was decent says it all. At least the top 3 are good...

Pleasing to see Henry Krinkle and ChemBros make the final, shame David Guetta, Missy and The Chainsmokers couldn't join them but they're all in the playoff. And most pleasingly ZAYN has completely missed out, thanks to three sets of negative points!

Antony & The Johnsons ~ Hope There's Someone
Henry Krinkle ~ Stay
Kasabian ~ You're In Love With A Psycho
The Chemical Brothers ~ Go
Troye Sivan feat. Ariana Grande ~ Dance To This

A better set of finalists here, most of the group's best are here. Good to see John Gibbons make the play-off too.

Final
George Ezra ~ Listen To The Man
Kiiara ~ Gold

Led Zeppelin ~ Immigrant Song

Hooray 'Dance To This' and 'Go' being finalists

I'm surprised that 'bloodline' wasn't the more popular song with Ariana involvement, but not complaining as I gave more points to 'Dance To This'!

If Ritual goes top 40 could you just put the sixth placed song in the group in the final instead?

(I'm definitely not just saying that because all five songs in the play-offs are great )

Great to see all 3 of my top faves progressing in some way, including 'Stay' and 'Gold' to the finals!! 'WTF (Where They From)' making the playoffs is pleasing too. I didn't think 'A Whole New World' would even be in contention.

Poor ZAYN robbed by the negative points.

I knew any Rihanna's fart would go through to the finals. Also London Grammar songs are just able to cure my insomnia, they are all dull, but the last minute voters always love their songs.

By the way, the best thing about these results is Ariana Grande missing out with Bloodline.
