It's time to pit together Buzzjack's most beloved battleaxes in a standard rate format to find out which of their singles we love or love to hate the most! Here's a reminder of the standard rules of the rate:

- Please rate each song a score between 0-10.
- .5 scores are allowed, just no 0.5 or 10.5's please!
- You also have the opportunity to give out one -1 for the song you dislike the most and one 11 for your absolute favourite song, this is across both artists' discographies and is not compulsory.

In addition to the rate, I will be working out the average score per artist for each poster to determine whether you are #TeamJess or #TeamAnneMarie - kinda like a star sign, something you can identify with and defend profusely even if you don't have much choice over the matter. Your team will be announced in the results thread too!

I have removed a couple features from each that literally had no impact in any chart and the big charity singles such as Times Like These and Bridge Over Troubled Water due to minimal contributions. Pls let me know if you do want to be rating these or any other singles I have missed.

THIS IS NOT WHAT WE AGREED!

Thanks for making this SO much harder! Now I gotta really think about which one gets my -1!

(P.s. I love that Anne-Marie's image literally looks like it's from Jess's POV in the above image.

Posted by: Klumzee 24th June 2020, 10:17 AM

I nearly put a 5 song limit on the 00's but I thought I wouldn't be that mean

I've never thought of that but I see what you're saying! I like to imagine they're having a stare-off.

Posted by: Scene 24th June 2020, 10:22 AM

I'm ready for this. My scathing rate will be posted later.

Posted by: JORDANLEE7 24th June 2020, 10:23 AM

What a great idea! Always been intrigued to see what would come out top here and what the overall averages are too.

I hope Jess wins or at least averages better throughout!

I need to listen to some of Anne Marie’s catalogue here but once I’ve done that I’ll be rating!

Posted by: Klaus 24th June 2020, 10:24 AM

Remind me to do this!!!

Want to see appreciation for Rumour Mill

Posted by: Klumzee 24th June 2020, 10:27 AM

On the face of it I would hazard a guess that I'm #TeamAnneMarie . I think I prefer Jess' features but prefer Anne-Marie as a lead artist. Plus she also has Rockabye which is divine I also got to see Anne-Marie at a small venue at a festival just as Alarm was beginning to chart and she made a good impression on me back then!

Posted by: Dexton 24th June 2020, 10:45 AM

Both have had some great and some bad, I’ll do this another day but on first look I feel as though Anne-Marie is getting both my 11 and my -1

Posted by: vibe 24th June 2020, 10:54 AM

Team Jess

I only know 3 Anne Marie songs.

Posted by: Andrew. 24th June 2020, 11:14 AM

Not this actually happening

Posted by: Slick 24th June 2020, 11:20 AM

I'd like to do this but I don't know all of the songs, and I'm not listening to Jess or Anne-Marie out of choice.

Posted by: Wall 24th June 2020, 11:21 AM

Posted by: Klumzee 24th June 2020, 12:00 PM

I'm not sure what the standard procedure is in rates, maybe give them a 5 as a neutral score? However we do encourage listeners to fairly judge all songs having listened to them, you never know you find some unearthed gems of theirs

Posted by: Chemistry 24th June 2020, 01:39 PM

I honestly don't think I even know any of those Anne-Marie songs.. I stll don't really know who she is tbh. And since when did Jess have sooo many songs? I am so out of touch with all these current artists.

00 is my mark for any song I haven’t heard because rim not invested enough to catch up. I had no idea Anne-Marie had released that much, is it her whole album? If the 00s are such a massive issue, I’ll change them but I didn’t feel like it was fair on Anne-Marie to mark songs I hadn’t heard higher than most of her discography.

These rates are SCATHING

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th June 2020, 04:29 PM

Excel won't take blank scores into consideration for averages, so if you don't know a song, leaving it blank is the way not to skew results!

Truly the rate we've been asking for

Posted by: Bjork 24th June 2020, 04:40 PM

if you don't know a song, just don't rate it, give it a --

Posted by: T Boy 24th June 2020, 04:57 PM

It’s Anne-Marie and Jess Glynne. A 00 would probably be on the cards anyway.

02 Mind On It (with Yungen)
01 So Real (Warriors) (with Too Many Zoos & KDA)

Anne-Marie has a fair few songs I really enjoy although also some which I'd happily never hear again. Jess's are mostly alright but only a few I'd choose to listen too. Overall the Clean Bandit collabs stand out as both of their bests.

Much prefer Anne Marie overall. I know some of her stuff can be quite basic, but she does have a great voice that doesn't grate like Jess' voice does. I would say Jess probably has the higher highs just from her early collab stuff though. After 2014 it went to shit.

Honestly all of those 1s and 2s I gave to Anne-Marie could easily be 0s as well, they are all easily among the most irritating chart hits of the last few years, but I try not to be too hyperbolic with my ratings.

Anne-Marie wins, but Jess gets the 11!

Jessie J >>>>> both these and NO I'm not apologising

At least let us try and cope with this before throwing another inflicting another one on us!!

Posted by: Andrew. 26th June 2020, 11:02 PM

Jonjo. Of all the Jess songs to give the -1 to, don't give it to the 11

Posted by: Jonjo 26th June 2020, 11:03 PM

Sorry. I just don't find singing goats appealing x

Posted by: Bré 26th June 2020, 11:04 PM

Posted by: Jonjo 26th June 2020, 11:10 PM

Jessie (J x) doesn't sound like a goat!! She can oversing but oversinging doesn't mean "goat"!

'Do It Like A Dude'/'Price Tag'/'Nobody's Perfect'/'Flashlight' are all better than every song in this rate (except maybe 'Rather Be' will beat a couple of them).

Even her weaker career moments are better than majority of these tbh + (believe it or not) Jessie J is actually amaze live. ('Calling All Hearts' can die a painful death though)

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th June 2020, 11:12 PM

I think this is the most questionable post yet

Posted by: Andrew. 26th June 2020, 11:12 PM

Jessie J is legit one of the most talented singers of our generation and that deserves to be said more outside of her own head

Posted by: Andrew. 26th June 2020, 11:15 PM

Don't you dare slander her 7th and most deserved UK #1

Posted by: #VoteGarden.keh 26th June 2020, 11:25 PM

Jessie J can sing, but chooses to over sing and that’s the reason I find her completely intolerable

Posted by: Bjork 27th June 2020, 09:13 AM

nothing extraordinary here, Jess is the less bad for sure.
None have released anything extraordinary solo
and both have one great track each which is in both cases the collab with Clean Bandit
but at least Jess has no offensive tracks
while Anne Marie had a stint of like 6 somngs in a row that were all diabolical: Friends-2002-Perfect to Me-Rewrite the stars-F** I'm Lonely-Birthday
that's 6 songs in a row which all deserve a -1 some of the most cringey lyrics in the history of music

Jess is generally okay, there’s some bops there but mostly just average-decent songs. Anne-Marie has a tendency to release either certified 10/10 bangers or absolute garbage and very little in between

Verdicts:

• Anne-Marie should stick to features.

Excited to see what comes out dead last- as much as I hate to say it I think a lot of the hated popular ones will come out further on top just because they were more well known than some of the others

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 05:23 PM

This is the real competition that's on everybody's lips! So many contenders for it There's a fairly clear bottom two but it's not the songs you would first think of imo!

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 06:01 PM

Welcome to the results stage of the most anticipated rate of the year! If you came for fancy graphics - you came to the wrong place! I'm hoping to get through songs from #42-#26 tonight and then the top 25 will follow afterwards.

Pls post your predictions for top 10, top 5 and the #1 as well as your predictions for who will be in the bottom! I'll post shortly who has made it into #TeamJess and #TeamAnneMarie to whet your appetites for our quens! x

Your team is more than just a team, it is an identity, a way of life and most importantly the artist you will defend until your death in the iLoon wars of the UK Charts forum. Once and for all, your fate has been decided as to which Buzzjack superstar you must fight for.

These teams have been decided by working out the average number of the scores each individual gave to the artists across all the songs in their singles discography. You have been drawn into a team based on which artist got the highest average score from your rate.

Making up Team Jess Glynne we have:

Divathinmuffin
Nina West
Tawdry Hepburn
T-Boy
Lee Wallace
George.Keh
Davidson
Chapman
Bre
Bjork
Electroboy
Liam
Josh!
Dan-G
Klaus
vibe
Dexton
LL Jord 7
Riser
Leww
Scene

And on Team Anne-Marie, the slightly less popular team, we have:

Cameron
UltraBeKind
Frenchie
NickF1
smidsey101
Klumzee
JosephStyles
Jonjo
Calum
MrAndrewMan
Jack

But who are Buzzjack's biggest supporters and haters of Jess Glynne and Anne-Marie?? Stay tuned!

Knew I would be team Anne-Marie. Intrigued to see which songs come last .

Posted by: Jack 10th July 2020, 06:25 PM

Whilst Anne-Marie has a couple of duds, at least she has shown some creativity throughout her career. Something Jess is incapable of.

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 06:26 PM

#42 - Anne-Marie 'Perfect To Me' (Avg. 2.483)

High Scores: (9 - Joseph Styles, 8.5 - MrAndrewMan)
Low Scores: ( -1 - Klumzee, Liam, Dan-G, LL Jord 7)



First to go and my pick of -1 material. Here comes Anne-Marie with a self-empowerment anthem about imperfection being the new perfection. It came after a flurry of hits with similar themes from other artists, however what sets this apart from the others is the rather questionable lyrics. They are way too ‘on the nose’ and are just horrendous beyond belief. Such lyrical delights include: ‘Getting too close for comfort, but comfort is what I need. So I eat my body weight in chocolate and ice cream’ and ‘Sometimes I wake up late and don't even brush my teeth. Just wanna stuff my face with leftover mac and cheese’, and my personal favourite, ‘I wish my legs were bigger, bigger than New York city’ honestly if you’re unfamiliar with the lyrics please give them a read as they are some of the worst ever in my opinion! The beat and melody are fairly inoffensive however this can be seen as the new offensive these days. Luckily the UK public didn’t take to this either and it stalled at #41. Those of you who scored this well, please let me know why you like this as I am really struggling!

#41 - James Arthur & Anne-Marie 'Rewrite The Stars' (Avg. 2.609)

High Scores: (8.5 - Riser, 8 - Chapman)
Low Scores: ( -1 - divathinmuffin, Calum)



Featuring not one but two of Buzzjack’s favourite artists. It’s James Arthur and Anne-Marie with Rewrite the Stars. I’m surprised this one did so badly as it’s just a straight cover that featured on the Greatest Showman: Reimagined Soundtrack (which also happened to feature Jess on ‘Come Alive’ with Years & Years). It’s a song about the male character trying to convince the female that they can change their destiny and fall in love by ‘rewriting the stars’. It’s a bit of lovey-dovey cheese that fits in perfectly with the rest of the soundtrack. It managed to chart at #7 in the UK, however the original which peaked at #16 has actually sold more which I did not realise.

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th July 2020, 06:30 PM

Perfect to Me is absolutely not that bad, the lyrics aren't always great but it's such a gorgeous sentiment!

Rewrite the Stars isn't essential at all, not gutted to see it out even if I quite like it.

Posted by: Wall 10th July 2020, 06:31 PM

Never say I’m team Jess Glynne

Thank god, awful first two out

Posted by: UltraBeKind 10th July 2020, 06:33 PM

Glad to be on Team Anne-Marie

However goodbye to those two songs, by far her two career lowlights. Perfect To Me is Thursday's ugly sister and their version of Rewrite The Stars is horrific, the original remains fantastic but Anne and in particular James are awful on it

Posted by: Wall 10th July 2020, 06:34 PM

Surely this is probably the lowest bottom two scores on a rate?

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 10th July 2020, 06:35 PM

I actually do really like Perfect to Me! Rewrite the Stars not so much, but I wouldn't say I dislike it.

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 06:37 PM

#40 - Anne-Marie 'Birthday' (Avg. 3.937)

High Scores: (10 - UltraBeKind 9.5 - JosephStyles)
Low Scores: ( -1 - T-Boy, Bre, Dexton)



One of the most recent singles to appear, it’s Anne-Marie’s 2020 take on the celebration of birthdays in musical form. According to Genius ‘Anne-Marie didn’t think there were enough Birthday songs, so she made her own’ – even her producers weren’t into it. ‘When it’s your birthday, you think, ‘’I can literally do what I want because it’s my birthday, everyone has to do what I want’’. All that commentary is slightly ominous for what is to come, however she does kinda make it work. Yes its obnoxious, yes it’s bratty, but when is a better time to feel your oats than your birthday? The production also takes on some modern trap production sounds, with yelps, crashes, bangs and wallops included which kinda helps it sound like a song that could go viral on Tik Tok. All in all, I shouldn’t like this, but it kinda bops a bit.

#39 - Jess Glynne 'Thursday' (Avg. 4.171)

High Scores: (10 - LL Jord 7, 9 - JosephStyles)
Low Scores: ( -1 - UltraBeKind, Scene)



Now for the first of Jess’ entries and it's her take on self-empowerment. This time it’s an Ed Sheeran co-write! This one is the better of the two in my opinion as it’s a bit more pleasing melodically and doesn’t have the WTF lyrics of ‘Perfect to Me’. This does not stop the cringe unfortunately. I think I may have rated this a bit harshly now (I gave it a 0), but the self-empowerment theme is not for me and it was absolutely EVERYWHERE when it was released so it wasn’t hard to grow sick of it. You can’t convince me that Thursday is not an odd choice of song title though and there are plenty of alternative titles that would’ve worked better!

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th July 2020, 06:40 PM

Birthday's OTT hate was pretty laughable in the chart thread each week :') not a shock but again, deserved way better

Thursday the lowest Jess song.... this rate is awful, that was the best song of her 2nd era x

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 10th July 2020, 06:42 PM

I can understand why Birthday is near the bottom. It's cute but nowhere near her best for me. Again, I wouldn't say I dislike it though.

Thursday on the other hand, how did it end up being the lowest Jess song? I agree that it's the best from her 2nd era and I really like it (I probably should have scored it a bit higher as I much prefer it to Perfect to Me).

Posted by: T Boy 10th July 2020, 06:46 PM

Anne Marie spends the whole of Birthday singing like she’s taking a 3 minute shit.

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 06:46 PM

#38 - Anne-Marie 'Gemini' (Avg. 4.203)

High Scores: (10 - George.keh 8 - Jack)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy, Scene)



The first non-chart hit, it’s Gemini. It does have a more amateur sound than the rest of her material being quite sparse in production and it’s not surprising this didn’t do so well. It shows off her voice well and was a nice inclusion on her first EP but I’m glad she’s upped the quality (arguably) of her material.

#37 - Yungen feat. Jess Glynne 'Mind On It' (Avg. 4.366)

High Scores: (9.5 - Riser, 8 - Leww)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy, Scene)



A flash-in-the-pan moment for Yungen and Jess Glynne, off the back of his hit single ‘Bestie’. This was expected to do big things, however this sounds very auto-pilot for both artists. Jess features on the chorus and middle 8, but sounds quite bored throughout it, we know Jess can use her voice better on songs like Hold My Hand and Take Me Home. For me it’s a weaker version of Not Letting Go and the song title is not said once during the song, a title such as ‘On My Mind’ or ‘I Got It On My Mind’ would’ve done the job much better imo.

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 06:58 PM

#36 - Too Many Zooz vs. KDA feat. Jess Glynne 'So Real (Warriors)' (Avg. 4.466)

High Scores: (9 - Riser 8 - George.keh)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy, Calum, Jack)



Another Jess track that never really took off. This was originally an instrumental track that I believe had been around at least a year before they put Jess’ vocals on top. This is a quirky brass section dance track but the Jess’ lyrics don’t mean much at all unfortunately. I am surprised this wasn’t a hit though as we have seen similar sounding songs do well but I guess the chorus doesn’t really pop off like it could have? I’d imagine this would sound great in the sun so perhaps this is the hit that never was?

#35 - David Guetta feat. Anne-Marie 'Don't Leave Me Alone' (Avg. 4.629)

High Scores: (9 - George.keh, JosephStyles 8.5 - MrAndrewMan)
Low Scores: ( -1 - Tawdry Hepburn)



The first song I’m surprised is this low, the later voters helped it drop down this low. I can see where some of the hate for this comes from, it is very generic future bass offering and both artists can do much better. However it is still well-produced and well-written (thanks Noonie Bao) and sounds fit for summer to me. This reached #18 in the UK charts and managed 9 weeks in the top 40 before hitting ACR.

Posted by: George.keh 10th July 2020, 07:00 PM

big fan of both Gemini and Don’t Leave Me Alone so shame to see them this low- the rest are all absolute dumpster fires good riddance to every single one- B*rthday in particular. 2002 to leave us soon too please

Don't Leave Me Alone

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 10th July 2020, 07:03 PM

Gemini and Mind On It are by far Jess and AM's worst songs for me. I wouldn't listen to either out of choice.

Not really a fan of So Real (Warriors) either but I really like Don't Leave Me Alone!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th July 2020, 07:06 PM

All these AWFUL Anne-Marie songs, gawd. Why didn't she just release 'Trigger' instead of 'Perfect To Me'? 'Don't Leave Me Alone' genuinely encompasses everything I hate about music in one song.

'Thursday' is really corny and cliched, but it kinda clicked when I saw her perform it at the Brits last year.

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 10th July 2020, 07:09 PM

Poor brave Birthday !!! And Warriors isn't that bad guys! Can't really argue with the rest though!

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 10th July 2020, 07:13 PM

Thursday being Jess’s lowest song is kinda sad to see but with the Ed involvement I did expect it to be low.

Perfect To Me being first out by both though is kinda deserved. It really is bad. For a time I was totally convinced it was gonna be massive as well at least that didn’t happen!

Come through and win this Jess

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 07:14 PM

#34 - lauv feat. Anne-Marie 'F**k I'm Lonely' (Avg. 4.671)

High Scores: (10 - Calum, 9 - Frenchie, JosephStyles)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Tawdry Hepburn, T-Boy, Bjork, Leww)



So apparently the initial inspiration for this song was Lauv getting ghosted by his favourite sandwich shop for a chicken parmie. It did evolve to become about a girl who he’s broken up with who he knows he shouldn’t hit up but he can’t help it when he’s lonely. On her guest verse, Anne-Marie acts as the voice on the other end of Lauv’s ramblings saying that she also shouldn’t and how she should have listened to her girls. The song acts as a release for those thoughts that you know you shouldn’t have, but sometimes you can’t help but feel. I’m not particularly a fan of the gratutitous swearing as the hook but I guess it’s a chill bop that’s well made and Anne-Marie and her sound fit in well with this song.

#33 - Jess Glynne 'No One' (Avg. 4.725)

High Scores: (8 - T-Boy, MrAndrewMan, Riser, 7.5 - JosephStyles)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Klumzee, Jack)



The Jess post-album release that no one but Heart.fm seems to remember yet they have it on rotation like it was a top three hit :’). This handclapping footstomping anthem is about being ‘no one until you’re somebody to someone’. This is prime example of a Jess song that is so generic by attempting to encapsulate an emotion that everyone may feel without putting any of her own experiences into it. The lyrics could relate to anybody about any person they’ve ever encountered and feels like a cheap attempt to get a hit song. This is why I struggle to see who Jess is as an artist as it does feel soulless and that any artist could have released this. It’s also quite Radio 2 MOR for Jess in sound which might explain why it didn’t do much in the charts.

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 07:15 PM

A friend introduced me to 'Trigger' this week, I was pleasantly surprised by it! Shame it wasn't released when you see some of the singles she has released

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th July 2020, 07:16 PM

Question - were all the 0s counted when people said they didn't know the songs?

fuck, i'm lonely is really good, and No One is one of Jess' better songs! That should've been a bigger hit for sure.

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 10th July 2020, 07:17 PM

No One isn’t bad as a song but that acting at the start of the video is bad!

Posted by: George.keh 10th July 2020, 07:18 PM

No-one is extremely forgettable and f**k I’m Lonely is so so so bland, happy they’re out. Just hoping for Kill The Lights to stay in as long as possible

#32 - Anne-Marie 'Her' (Avg. 4.741)

High Scores: (9 - Leww, 8.5 - MrAndrewMan)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace, Scene)



Anne-Marie’s most recent single release, another track to celebrate a specific day, this time Mother’s Day! This is a heart-felt piano ballad tribute to her own Mother and it is really well done! The lyrics have avoided some of the cringe we’ve previously experienced from Anne-Marie and it has turned out to be a mature effort from her. I think this is a hit in the making, it’s only an X Factor audition away from blowing up. Also my favourite ballad from either artist.

#31 - Wretch 32 feat. Anne-Marie & PRGSHN 'Alright With Me' (Avg. 4.9)

High Scores: (9 - George.keh 8.5 - Riser)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace)



One of Anne-Marie’s first features! Not a particularly memorable one to be honest, I think Wretch 32 is the highlight of this track than Anne-Marie, this was released in 2015 which was past Wretch 32’s peak and before Anne-Marie took off so neither artist was particularly a big name to draw people in. I think this could’ve been a cute top 20 at the right time as it’s very radio friendly and pop-leaning however this has been forgotten by nearly everybody these days.

#30 - Anne-Marie 'Heavy' (Avg. 4.983)

High Scores: (9 - George.keh 8.5 - JosephStyles, Josh!, Calum)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace, Dexton)



This was a bit of a blip in Anne-Marie’s success, only reaching #37 between the two big hitters Ciao Adios and Friends. I think this is a nice tropical bop but it doesn’t pack much of a punch to compete in the UK charts. I’m surprised it got as many low scores as it did as it is so inoffensive in my opinion.

Posted by: Klumzee 10th July 2020, 07:28 PM

They were unfortunately! A lot of posters did leave those scores empty which I have honoured by not including them in their average but quite a few have a number of 0's in their rates which I can't discredit if it seemed like a high number. TBoy said he wanted to keep all of his 0's even though he didn't know them. Majority gave out a reasonable average of scores though.

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th July 2020, 07:31 PM

Fair, thanks for the explanation! Can't argue with genuine 0s, everyone's got their own tastes of course, though I genuinely don't understand the logic of giving a 0 to a song you've never heard.

Her is pretty sweet, though I'm glad it wasn't an official single release really. I remember hearing Alright With Me at the time and finding it decent but it's really not a song I ever think about these days! Heavy was a bad single choice but on a song level it's great I'll forever be pressed that Breathing Fire got pushed back 500 times and eventually cancelled in favour of Heavy

Posted by: T Boy 10th July 2020, 07:33 PM

Heavy might have benefitted by having someone who could sing well singing it.

And let’s face it, if I actually listened to most of those 00s chances are they’d still be 00s.

#29 - Illy feat. Anne-Marie 'Catch 22' (Avg. 5.0)

High Scores: (10 - UltraBeKind, Dexton, 8 - Liam, MrAndrewMan)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy)



Time for our most random collaboration. Catch 22 is a track by Australian rapper Illy which features Anne-Marie. It was pretty successful in Australia, reaching #11 and becoming one of Illy’s best selling singles. You may know his most successful one ‘Papercuts’ featuring Vera Blue. I thought this would be a phoned-in feature but she also features in the music video alongside Illy so I’m glad she enjoyed her Australian holiday. Good of her to put in the groundwork in other countries as I’m sure that’s helped her career boost in more recent years. It’s a very ‘Australian’ sounding song and is quite juvenile in sound so I’m not surprised it didn’t do anything in the UK but it’s done decently in this rate with an average of ‘5’ exactly. Also surprise surprise this is the first time Dexton appears as a high scorer

#28 - Anne-Marie 'Karate' (Avg. 5.071)

High Scores: (9 - Leww 8 - George.keh, Jack)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy, Lee Wallace)



The world’s introduction to Anne-Marie, this was also the first song of hers I heard as it was entered into the Buzzjack Song Contest by Thelonia, otherwise known as poster lewistgreen, and finished in 22nd place back in 2015. This sounds very different to other songs she has released with a darker instrumental, sound and vocal effects from arcade games and Japanese counting. It’s difficult to imagine the change of sound she would have since then. I’m hoping she will become a bit more experimental with her music as this was a really exciting debut back in the day. I think this struggled a bit due to not being known as well and therefore receiving some default lower scores as I’ve only heard good things from Buzzjack posters about this song and it does represent a different side to Anne-Marie that others may not know about. Fun fact Anne-Marie also is a black belt in karate having trained most of her childhood in the martial art!

Posted by: Klaus 10th July 2020, 07:42 PM

Don’t Leave Me Alone is possibly the most generic song I’ve ever heard

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th July 2020, 07:42 PM

For me it just distorts the scores unnecessarily - of course it's not serious and this is just a bit of fun but it's a shame that scores like that could have actually changed some results! That's why if I didn't know a song, I'd leave it blank, or I'd actually listen to it - because you never know what discoveries you could make.

Karate was the first Anne-Marie song I heard! Would never have called that I'd become such a fan, as I quite like it but it's faaaaaar from her best (and musically very far from what she'd go on to release of course).

Posted by: George.keh 10th July 2020, 07:45 PM

Agreed- seems a little unfair to me if you don’t even give the songs a chance- you may enjoy the writing, production etc even if you know you don’t like their voice!

Posted by: T Boy 10th July 2020, 07:45 PM

Yeah, it’s Jess Glynne and Anne Marie, there are really no ‘discoveries’ to make.

An extra 0 here and there won’t distort results, most of these songs wouldn’t have been much higher. I did say you could do what you want with my 0s so feel free to do a recount if this is actually that important to you.

Posted by: Jade 10th July 2020, 07:46 PM

Omg THIS



Joseph literally confirmed to be a troll?

~

It warms my heart to see more people being on Team Jess than Team Anne (and Team Anne truly is a menagerie of trolls, with Joseph quite rightly coronated as chief troll x)

Being fair to Anne-Marie though I do think a couple of her better songs are out already and deserved to be a bit higher - 'Her' is a pretty nice track and I really don't think 'Rewrite The Stars' is that bad either, I actually like it more than the original to be honest! (More because of James than Anne but Anne is fine on it). 'Perfect To Me' and 'Birthday' both very rightfully in the bottom 3 though, begone. (edit: and 'Karate' is not that bad either! at least it gets the 'honour' of being the first song with an average above 5 )

'Thursday' is a good choice to be Jess' lowest song, and out of her other songs that are gone already they're mostly either ones I've not heard or barely remember / don't really care for. I'll stick up for 'No One' to some extent as the best of her songs to be out so far but it's not one of her best. What I will say is why tf is 'These Days' not out yet, that's like her one song that's on Anne-Marie standard quality xx

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th July 2020, 07:46 PM

I probably wouldn't mind Anne-Marie as much if most of her discography sounded like 'Karate'. It's not that bad.

Posted by: Wall 10th July 2020, 07:47 PM

Interested that Jess came out top, I was expecting the opposite as Anne has more traditional buzzjack bops.

Posted by: Wall 10th July 2020, 07:47 PM

Jess Glynne legit does have some bops

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th July 2020, 07:48 PM

100%! Nobody loses anything from being open-minded and giving songs a go, and you may even gain something too


Of course an extra 0 may not send a winner down to #33, but it still defeats the point in my opinion. Nevertheless though, it really isn't important, it's more an observation than anything else.

High Scores: (11 - Calum, 10 - Cameron, UltraBeKind, Frenchie, NickF1, MrAndrewMan)
Low Scores: ( -1 - George.keh, Bjork, Electroboy)



Time for our #marmeet hit as you can see by the number of names in the above lists, it is also the lowest song to receive an 11 and joint 2nd highest for number of -1s!

I thought this was dead-set for a bottom five place however this song has just as many fans as it does haters! It was absolutely everywhere in 2018 and did very well in the charts, so much so that it is certified double platinum in the UK (sold over 1.2 million units). It’s a song about recalling past nostalgia and going back to simpler times. It’s a very well-written and catchy song that has hooks galore, as you would expect from a songwriter team of 18 people including Ed Sheeran, Julia Michaels, Benny Blanco and Steve Mac. Despite the outrage of singing about songs that were not released in 2002 amongst the chart community, it at least does not mention any songs that were released in 2003 or later! I could not stand this in 2018 thanks to the overkill on the radio, however time is a healer and it is sounding good again in 2020 to these ears.

#26 - Jess Glynne 'Ain't Got Far To Go' (Avg. 5.375)

High Scores: (10 - T-Boy, George.keh, Klaus 8 - Nina West)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Jack)



We’ve not spoken about Jess for a while! The last single to be released from her debut album ‘I Cry When I Laugh’ this was the first of her singles to miss the top 10 and the top 40, only peaking at #45 and spending 6 weeks in the top 100. This is a little more soulful from Jess whilst still maintain a fun pop core. I’m surprised this didn’t even reach the top 40 as a post-album single as it’s still got a very chart friendly sound and is strong enough on its own. I seem to remember radio stations dropping this fairly quickly after it didn’t soar up the charts so perhaps that’s what its downfall was.

Posted by: Cameron 10th July 2020, 09:47 PM

Hmmm I think that it will be an all Jess top 5 at this rate

Posted by: Chez Wombat 10th July 2020, 09:58 PM

I didn't vote in this as I didn't want to put myself though any more songs from these two than I had to, Jess Glynne has a narrowly better discography so I'd support her to win, although saying that, Rockabye might be my favourite one here. I guess Anne Marie should stick to features more x

Posted by: Riser 11th July 2020, 02:36 AM

Oops, wish I'd been following this earlier! I'm honored to be the statistically biggest Jess fan in this rate

Posted by: dan-G 11th July 2020, 07:56 AM

shame to see 'Thursday' so low but at least we've got most of the bad Anne-Marie songs out of the way. 'Perfect To Me' is a very deserving last place.

Posted by: Bjork 11th July 2020, 08:18 AM

Thursday is easily Jess Gynne's worst song, the lyrics are really bad... associating yourself with Ed Sheeran can easily result in that but it's a 2/10 song... so she easily beats Anne Marie who has at least 6 songs that are a 0/10 and could all be a -1: 2002, Perfect To Me, Frends, Birthday, Rewrite the Stars and f**k I'm lonely.

Posted by: Scene 11th July 2020, 09:46 AM

So true EXCEPT Friends is one of the rare instances where Anne-Marie delivers something good. Her solo music on a whole though is tragic.

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 02:19 PM

I'm hoping to restart the results from 5pm tonight which might be a lil early for some but I have some IRL plans forming for tonight! I'll aim to get all the way to #11 but it depends how quickly I can rattle through the posts All commentary is written it's just a matter of formatting each post.

Some of these results

Rewrite the Stars should have been dead last, and by a long way. Awful cover.

2002 deserved better

Posted by: Bjork 11th July 2020, 03:32 PM

The funny thing is they have so many similarities career-wise

- first #1 a collaboration with Clean Bandit
- a song written with Ed Sheeran
- collab with Rudimental
- a feature on a Guetta track
- a self-love anthem (Perfect to Me, Thursday)
- a song in the Great Showman covers album.

#25 - RAYE feat. Jess Glynne 'Love Me Again' (Avg. 5.467)

High Scores: (7.5 - Calum, Riser 7 - Tawdry Hepburn, vibe, MrAndrewMan, LL Jord 7, Scene)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy)



Poor overlooked Raye. Not even 7 time chart topper Jess Glynne could make this a hit! The original is a great pop song with a brilliant melody where RAYE talks about trying to convince her ex to love her again. Jess contributes a guest verse on the single release where she acts as the supportive friend to RAYE and takes part in a call and respond bridge whilst singing and ad-libbing over the rest of the track. I tried to rate this based on Jess’ contribution which was tricky as she doesn’t add too much to the original imo, if anything I prefer the original bridge! This made it to #55 upon it’s original release in solo format but I’m sure the record label bosses were hoping for a bigger climb after the Jess remix. This also has a surprisingly low top score of 7.5, no song has got that low so far!

#24 - Anne-Marie 'Boy' (Avg. 5.5)

High Scores: (10 - UltraBeKind George.keh 9 - Jack)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy)



Another of Anne-Marie’s early releases which I was not familiar with when creating the rate. It does have the similar early sound that Karate and Gemini did with more minimal production, a kick-drum and hand clap make up most of this track. This one does have a bit of personality in the vocals which see Anne-Marie after a boy’s attention, but she’s wondering maybe he might be gay instead? I enjoy the fact the last chorus has a change in lyrics after she’s found out the truth. It’s a quirky chirpy track that’s quite a fun listen so I can see why it’s made it into the top 25. Again I think this struggled with many not knowing the track as I think it would be fairly popular with Buzzjack had it been a hit single.

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 11th July 2020, 04:06 PM

Talk about a useless contribution from Jess on "Love Me Again"! "Boy" I can do without too.

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 04:15 PM

#23 - Rudimental feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan Caplen 'These Days' (Avg. 5.656)

High Scores: (11 - Lee Wallace 9.5 - Dan-G)
Low Scores: ( -1 - smidsey101, JosephStyles)



Our second #marmeet track that just manages to out-do 2002 in the rate results. These Days was the comeback single for Rudimental back in early 2018 for their third album. This also features Macklemore and Dan Caplen alongside Jess Glynne to create an exciting supergroup you would not have predicted to work together. However this managed to end up very plain despite the names involved. It sounds like Rudimental’s attempt at what a Macklemore track would sound like with Jess vocals over the top but made so safe that no radio station would ever snub it. It’s very much a straight-forward pop song that could’ve been so much more in my opinion as all three artists (honestly Dan Caplen who?) have created far better tracks than this one in the past. This did manage to climb to #1 for a single week after 7 consecutive weeks at #2 behind Drake’s God Plan. Despite my feelings for it, this was a genuinely massive hit and it would’ve been a shame if this never made it to #1.

#22 - Alex Newell feat. Jess Glynne, DJ Cassidy & Nile Rodgers 'Kill The Lights' (Avg. 5.724)

High Scores: (10 - Nina West, George.keh, Davidson 8 - Cameron, Liam, Riser, Leww, Jack)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace)



Another jam-packed collaboration involving Jess Glynne. This was released back in 2016 but I only became familiar with it after a fantastic lip-sync to this song on the 12th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race which saw both queens saved from elimination thanks to their excellent performances. It’s a fun throwback disco song from Alex Newell that has some brilliant production sensibilities thanks to Nile Rodgers and DJ Cassidy. It’s quite different to the rest of Jess’ singles as it doesn’t sound like a chart hit but still sounds good! This was doing disco before the recent revival of the genre in 2020 so perhaps had this been released this year we could’ve seen another mega hit for Jess?

I've also included the lip-sync video as it is very good and even better than I remember it being watching it live a few months ago!

Love Me Again is gorgeous wtf lmao

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 04:23 PM

#21 - Snakehips feat. Anne-Marie & Joey Bada$$ 'Either Way' (Avg. 5.793)

High Scores: (9 - divathinmuffin 8.5 - smidsey101, Riser)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy)



I’ve always had a soft spot for this song when Buzzjack hasn’t been so receptive of it, so seeing this reach the top half of the results is great all things considered! It’s a slow RnB/trap jam where Anne-Marie takes the more dominant role in pursuing a man but she’s good either way if things don’t work out. I don’t think Anne-Marie is necessarily the highlight of the track but she helps create the vibe so well and her vocals are smoother than ever. Snakehips do an excellent job on production and Joey Bada$$’s guest verse is short but sweet. Apparently this interpolates Imogen Heap’s Hide & Seek which I’m not too sure on where that is but maybe it’s my own ignorance and it’s super obvious?

#20 - Jax Jones & Jess Glynne 'One Touch' (Avg. 5.812)

High Scores: (9.5 - Riser 9 - Electroboy, Jack)
Low Scores: ( 0 - UltraBeKind)



This also reminds me of ‘No One’ in that this is a generic cash cow attempt at appealing to everyone, this is made slightly better with the Jax Jones production but it does feel very much a Jess song rather than one of his own. The lyrics talk about that person whose touch you can’t live without and how life is so tough when they’re not around. This could’ve been a massive UK hit with two of the biggest names in popular chart music currently, however there isn’t much to love about it or even remember it for and it stalled at #19 in the UK charts.

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 11th July 2020, 04:23 PM

Genuinely don't get the hate for "These Days" Sure it's not the BEST but it's perfectly fine in what it tries to do.

"Kill The Lights" is a bop but it owes none of that to Jess :')

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 04:25 PM

It managed a surprising number of middling scores! If it had a few more active lovers it's average would've rocketed up as it doesn't have many haters! I can't say Jess Glynne is the reason why I like it though and this is a Jess Glynne rate so I see why it didn't do as well as it could have!

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 11th July 2020, 04:25 PM

Snakehips being lower than "One Touch" is a bit off!

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 04:39 PM

#19 - Rudimenal & Major Lazer feat. Anne-Marie & Mr. Eazi 'Let Me Live' (Avg. 5.833)

High Scores: (11 - NickF1 9 - Riser, Jack)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy, Lee Wallace)



Now for the second Rudimental collab between the girls. It is a joint production between Rudimental and Major Lazer which is certainly evident in its sound and also features vocals from Mr. Eazi. To me this has all the hallmarks of the artist’s previous successful songs and I’m very surprised this didn’t make it to the top 40! Perhaps the public were a little worn about by the Major Lazer sound by the time this was released in 2018? It’s a song tailored for summer listening with maximal production and horns galore. My only thought is that there’s not much of a chorus ‘leave me alone, let me live my life’ is all there really is to it so perhaps it’s not the most memorable of any artists tracks? One of my personal favourites from either Anne-Marie or Jess and I’m not sure what I was thinking when only giving this a 7! Also Lee give this a listen I guarantee you'll like it and rate it more than a 0!

#18 - Jess Glynne 'All I Am' (Avg. 5.859)

High Scores: (10 - T-Boy, Dan-G 9 - UltraBeKind, Josh!, Riser)
Low Scores: ( -1 - Jack)



Unfortunately this song is the epitome of what frustrates me about Jess Glynne, there’s nothing about ‘All I Am’ that excites me or makes me feel any sort of emotion good or bad. Of course it sounds perfect for the radio with a nice sing-a-long chorus and slinky production to make an earworm of a song for a wide range of listeners but it’s such so generic that it doesn’t really mean much at all to anyone. ‘Cause all I know and all I am is you’ ? I am confusion. I think this is why Jess has struggled to grow a fanbase when there’s not much about her to get behind in my opinion. Fun fact this was co-written by James Newman, the UK’s Eurovision entrant for 2020!

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 04:39 PM

All the averages were super close in this section, even one more voter would've thrown off a number of positions!

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 04:50 PM

#17 - Nick Jonas, Anne-Marie & Mike Posner 'Remember I Told You' (Avg. 6.051)

High Scores: (10 - Calum 9 - Cameron, Frenchie, Scene)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace)



Now into the 6's (finally!) and this is a surprise! I had no idea what this song was before I did the rate and I’m surprised this is the one that’s managed to out-do all the non-chart hits. I would say that it managed to avoid getting the low scores due to being reasonably unknown, but it’s also got a fair good fans who gave it highly favourable scores so perhaps I just need to familiarise myself with this to get on board with it? It’s a collab with Nick Jonas and Mike Posner that sounds well suited to the charts these days and would do well on streaming. I’m guessing it was released too late in the album campaign to have an impact? It’s another smooth offering from Anne-Marie and her voice compliments Nick Jonas’ very well! Perhaps this is her calling rather than some of her latest ‘gifts’ we’ve received?

#16 - Anne-Marie 'Then' (Avg. 6.064)

High Scores: (11 - George.keh, MrAndrewMan 9 - Frenchie, Davidson, JosephStyles, Klaus)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy)



Ballad time for Anne-Marie, we haven’t slowed down the pace quite as much as Jess does but we still get into our feelings on ‘Then’. She sings about the significance of a previous relationship and how the times were so good back then. It’s a interesting topic to talk about as we’re often encouraged to completely cut off ex’s or to make them into something so problematic that we can’t believe that it ever happened, when in reality our feelings are usually more ambiguous. It was a pleasant surprise when this was released as Anne-Marie was starting to take off with her fun and thoughtless songs, whereas this offered something different. Buzzjack has always been a fan of this so I’m not surprised this has done well in the rate and even managed to pull a couple of 11’s!

#15 - Anne-Marie 'Do It Right' (Avg. 6.103)

High Scores: (10 - George.keh, Dexton 9 - Davidson, Liam)
Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy)



Now for the last of Anne-Marie’s singles before she started to hit it big. I see this as the song that bridges early Anne-Marie with the Anne-Marie we know now. This song packs more of a punch than her previous material and I think this did get a bit of airplay on Radio 1 as I was quite familiar with this even back in 2015/16. Anne-Marie talks about the stage between lust and love and thoughts about commiting to a relationship rather than the highs that a casual fling brings.

Posted by: Calum 11th July 2020, 04:57 PM

These Days too low All I Am far too high x

Remember I Told You is a bop

"0 - T-Boy" appearing in almost every result - legit what's the point? :')

Then is gorgeous!! The emotion when she performs it live

Posted by: Klaus 11th July 2020, 05:01 PM

All I Am is just all of Jess’ songs combined into one. It sounds exactly like you would expect a Jess Glynne song to sound, there’s nothing exciting about it.

Remember I Told You and Then are underrated bops!

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 11th July 2020, 05:02 PM

That Nick Jonas song gave me Casio demos for my nerve!

All okay-ish there apart from All I Am.

Posted by: Jonjo 11th July 2020, 05:04 PM

'Do It Right' is so low That should be top 10 in this rate tbh.

'These Days' and 'Remember I Told You' are bops. The former is over played, but agreed with Lew in that it's cute at what it tries to be.

Pulling for a Rather Be win! But I wouldn't mind 'Rockabye' winning either

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 05:04 PM

#14 - Jess Glynne 'Hold My Hand' (Avg. 6.125)

High Scores: (10 - Nina West, T-Boy, Chapman, Dan-G 9 - divathinmuffin, Tawdry Hepburn, George.keh, Bre, Klaus, vibe, Riser)
Low Scores: (-1 - Cameron)



If you don’t know this song, please come out from under your rock! The musical embodiment of Jet2 for God knows how long, this was Jess’ very first solo #1 song. It’s not difficult to see why this did so well. This has a universal euphoric sound which fits perfectly with the lyrical content. The dance piano chords made this perfect for summer, perfect for dancing and literally any occasion, and this song took good advantage of that! I’m sure this would’ve been a top 5 on the rate were it not for its horrific overplay by corporations using it to advertise or push the idea of forced happiness and fun, this is all we can associate this song with anymore! Some of you were completely broken and have given it your -1s, others are still holding strong and giving this some very high marks. But one’s thing for sure, we all have an opinion on this song

#13 - Jess Glynne 'I'll Be There' (Avg. 6.171)

High Scores: (10 - Calum 9 - divathinmuffin, T-Boy, Liam, vibe)
Low Scores: ( -1 - Lee Wallace, Jonjo)



Please welcome to the stage, Jess Goat! The real G.O.A.T. Jess attempts a cheeky little yodel in the chorus of this song, a trend that has not caught on unfortunately. This is another of the marmite songs in her discography, if it weren’t for a couple -1s and the odd 0, this would have been well into the top 10 as the majority of Buzzjack favoured this song. This is her most surprising of her #1’s for me. I believe it snuck in there for 1 week on a low sales week so her most ‘non-#1’ if you will. The song was still pretty successful in the charts regardless of its peak and did exactly what it needed to do to help Jess continue to have success in her second album era.

Also can we appreciate that T-Boy appears in both of the high scores in this post

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th July 2020, 05:05 PM

I didn't mind Hold My Hand at the time but the Jet2 overplay has made me never want to hear it again x

I'll Be There.... I'll pass on that one x

Posted by: Jonjo 11th July 2020, 05:06 PM

Honestly HMH would be SO much more preferable had it just been a hit and long forgotten about. The Jet2 exposure is horrendous and really hurts it's quality, for me.

IBT is vile. I hate that it's catchy and worms its way into my head, but it's so bad!

#12 - Tinie Tempah feat. Jess Glynne 'Not Letting Go' (Avg. 6.562)

High Scores: (10 - Frenchie, George.keh, Josh!, Leww 9 - vibe, Jack)
Low Scores: (0 - Scene)



Another of Jess’ #1s this time with Tinie Tempah. This screamed smash hit even on first listen and it sure did become a #1 on its debut week. I think this was one of the last held-back songs to reach #1 so I’m not sure this would have done it these days as it sounds a bit dated already, it suits the sound of the early 10’s much better than the late 10’s. Jess’ contribution only sticks to the chorus, but it’s so catchy and flows very well that it’s difficult to imagine the track with anyone else. It was by this point we were starting to realise how much of a chart behemoth that she was becoming, this was her 4th #1 out of 6 charting songs to date and both of those were top 10 hits too.

#11 - Marshmello & Anne-Marie 'FRIENDS' (Avg. 6.564)

High Scores: (11 - UltraBeKind 10 - JosephStyles, Josh!, Scene)
Low Scores: ( 0 - Bjork)



Just missing out on the top 10 is Anne-Marie’s guide on how to losing a spelling bee contest, it’s F R I N D S! I’m honestly surprised how well this did considering how much vocal hate this receives across the site, perhaps it is the same people running their mouth over and over? Like 2002 this song has improved over time since its major overkill in 2018 and I can recognise it’s a proper earworm these days. This managed a #4 peak and stuck between #4-6 for 8 consecutive weeks which I’m sure wound up our chart forum greatly. I hadn’t considered this before but now I’ve listened to Anne-Marie’s discography extensively (thanks!) I think this is the perfect balance between Anne-Marie’s early sound and current sound. The delivery is punchy, filled with swagger and she demands your attention on the track, this is paired with the pop sensibilities of Marshmello who has turned the track into a future bass offering with trap beats and strummed guitar chords. This commentary was much more positive than I was expecting it to be!!!

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th July 2020, 05:24 PM

Not Letting Go is soooo bland. Tinie is capable of way better!

Posted by: Klumzee 11th July 2020, 05:25 PM

There we have it all caught up to the top 10! I shall continue with all the remaining songs tomorrow evening so please stay tuned until then to find out Buzzjack's favourite Jess Glynne or Anne-Marie song! Here's a reminder of all the songs that are still to be announced:

Alarm
Ciao Adios
Don't Be So Hard On Yourself
My Love (with Route 94)
Rather Be (with Clean Bandit)
Real Love (with Clean Bandit)
Right Here
Rockabye (with Clean Bandit & Sean Paul)
Rumour Mill (with Rudimental & Will Heard)
Take Me Home

Please get predicting! Who you think has only just scraped in and who's going to be contending for the top 5 or the victory?? I'll post a time to get things started at some point tomorrow but 7pm tomorrow evening is what I'm envisaging.

Ciao Adios
Don't Be So Hard On Yourself
Take Me Home
Alarm
Right Here
Real Love (with Clean Bandit)
Rumour Mill (with Rudimental & Will Heard)
My Love (with Route 94)

The bottom 3 to leave ASAP would be ideal and then we'd have a strong top 7!

PREDICT:
Rockabye (with Clean Bandit & Sean Paul)
Rather Be (with Clean Bandit)
Don't Be So Hard On Yourself
My Love (with Route 94)
Real Love (with Clean Bandit)
Ciao Adios
Right Here
Take Me Home

Not Letting Go sounds perfect for the summer, although I always found it a bit dated at the time! I don’t like how it feels very rigid in chorus - verse - chorus ie they don’t really blend with each other. I do really like it though!

FRIENDS is one I probably shouldn’t like but it sounds great to me!

Rumour Mill Top 10, we stan!

Posted by: Bré 11th July 2020, 07:36 PM

Songs like 'Hold My Hand' and especially 'All I Am' definitely do lack much in the way of personality, I get that criticism, but I still think that they are very good for the straightforward radio filler pop songs they are (HMH moreso, it's a shame that the endless corporate shilling of that song has lowered its popularity on here so much over the years, I still consider it one of her best songs, it finishing below 'I'll Be There' and 'Not Letting Go' here is pretty shocking!) 'These Days' on the other hand just took that overly safe and bland sound one step too far for me - I don't know if I'd have such great disdain for it if not for it being such an inexplicably massive hit but I'm pretty sure I remember finding it pretty exceptionally bland even when I first heard it. Glad that one missed the top half as well. 'Love Me Again' (the original version) I never remotely understood the love for on here, I think the Jess version improved it very slightly but it was still just sort of ok at best. Sticking up for Anne-Marie again I think 'Then' is also a little underrated here - I wish a song like that or 'Her' could actually become a hit for her if we have to put up with her at all. x

With 'FRIENDS' thankfully just missing the cut (should be way, way lower but ah well xx), I like all but one of the top 10 songs - 'Ciao Adios' is another one of Anne's worst moments for me but I'm aware that's less of a popular opinion than all of my other Anne lowlights so not surprised to see it so high up, it'll probably be top 5 even. Agreeing that it'll most likely be an all Clean Bandit top 2 but fingers crossed for 'Don't Be So Hard On Yourself' to hopefully be the highest non-feature.

'Do It Right' was my favorite Anne-Marie discovery in this rate, out of the songs I hadn't heard! I'm glad it did well here.

Thank you for all the comments and participation so far guys! Definitely has made the work involved for the rate worth it and it's been fun to interact with all of youse! I'm going to push this back to start at 8pm tonight instead. Be there or be square

Posted by: Rob S 12th July 2020, 12:54 PM

'Karate', 'Alarm' & 'Rockabye' are literally the only songs by Anne-Marie that would be rated high had I rated. 'Trigger' is also quite decent but I think Jess just edge it with me as I like a couple more of hers compared to the number of Anne-Marie tracks.

Having said that Jess hasn't really put out anything properly good since 'Take Me Home'

That's an considerably solid top 10 though.. either of 'Rockabye' or 'Rather Be' to win and 'Alarm' ideally third!

Whilst your eagerly awaiting tonight's results, please enjoy this interlude of quen Anne-Marie teaching us some British slang

#10 - Rudimental feat. Anne-Marie & Will Heard 'Rumour Mill' (Avg. 6.703)

High Scores: (10 - George.keh, Klumzee, Electroboy, Klaus, Dexton 9 - Lee, Davidson, Riser)
Low Scores: (0 - T-Boy)



Ohmygah how did this make it to the top ten?? This snuck in very last minute thanks to Scene’s vote on deadline day. One of my personal favourites (only topped by Rather Be and Rockabye imo) and an underrated gem in both Rudimental and Anne-Marie’s discographies but I’m so glad Buzzjack saw some sense to rate this well! This is a chill mid-tempo bop where Anne-Marie and Will Heard dispel all the gossipers and vouch to carry on despite what the rumour mill says. The production takes on a deep-house sound but manages to stay so relaxed and keeps those classic Rudimental trumpets as well as pitched vocals. Anne-Marie and Will Heard’s voices blend together perfectly in this duet for a sleek well-made offering that screams drinks at dusk mood. I adore the way it builds throughout without ever fully going for it, always leaving you wanting more! This never made the top 40 in the UK charts yet it has managed to stay remembered and relevant.

#9 - Jess Glynne 'Take Me Home' (Avg. 7.093)

High Scores: (10 - Cameron, UltraBeKind, Calum 9 - Chapman, JosephStyles, LL Jord 7)
Low Scores: (2.5 - smidsey101)



This is Buzzjack’s favourite Jess or Anne-Marie ballad! I’m personally not too big a fan of this as it feels quite manufactured into being ‘the winter ballad moment’ of her discography to show she’s a ‘well-rounded pop star’ but it’s a pleasant listen at least! This is also the first song to not receive a 0 and we had to wait all the way up until 9th place to get that LOL. This was released as the 2015 Children In Need charity single which would’ve helped boost its sales and chart position thanks to the extra promotion it receives on the show’s broadcast. I do appreciate that Jess’ vocals sound better than ever here and that she delivers the song with passion, both belting and softly singing to show the light and dark in the song.

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 07:23 PM

#8 - Jess Glynne 'Right Here' (Avg. 7.25)

High Scores: (10 - Nina West, George.keh, Electroboy, Josh!, Scene 9 - Davidson, Dan-G, Dexton)
Low Scores: (0 - Lee Wallace)



Jess’ debut solo single! This came out right in the middle of the 2014 deep-house trend and was a stand-alone single for quite a while, we were not to know the Jess domination that would follow! This feels fairly forgotten about in the public eye as Jess has followed this up with much bigger hit singles since, however I think this is a benefit to this song as overplay has not ruined its appeal. It’s a low key bop and I enjoy the trumpets with the deep house beat that make for quite a cool single. This is the highest song not to receive an 11 which is quite easy to see as it doesn’t stand out as a highlight but it is a very solid part of her discography.

Posted by: Klaus 12th July 2020, 07:26 PM

Rumour Mill is SO good, so chill & melodic - great to see it Top 10

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 07:31 PM

#7 - Jess Glynne 'Don't Be So Hard On Yourself' (Avg. 7.546)

High Scores: (11 - Bre, LL Jord 7, Riser 10 - George.keh, Josh!, Klaus, Dexton, Scene)
Low Scores: (-1 - Leww)



So this is how you do a self-empowerment anthem! This my personal favourite of Jess’ solo tracks, building on the success of Hold My Hand, this carried on the upbeat dance-pop backed by heavy piano chords and strings formula that worked so well before. The song talks about how we all struggle at times and how important it is to pick yourself up afterwards. This is also the highest song to receive a -1, why are you such a hater Leww?

I particularly enjoy this song as this was the theme to a CBBC series based around the goings on at an ice rink and told the stories of young athletes across a number of ice sports (get that mainstream exposure synchro!) I’m pretty sure I featured in the background at some point at one of the national championships (yas).

Posted by: George.keh 12th July 2020, 07:35 PM

The 0 given to Rumour Mill because it hadn’t been listened to Glad to see it make top 10 though! I actually like all of 10-7

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 07:40 PM

#6 - Route 94 feat. Jess Glynne 'My Love' (Avg. 7.578)

High Scores: (11 - Leww, Scene 10 - Tawdry Hepburn, George.keh, Davidson, Chapman, Dan-G, vibe)
Low Scores: (1 - JosephStyles)



Just missing out on the top 5 is Route 94’s one and only chart hit which I still can’t work out if Jess’ vocals have been pitched down a tad or not?? This was one of the songs at the fore-front of the deep-house trend and managed to make it all the way to #1. Making this Jess’ second #1 only 3 weeks after her first #1, Rather Be, had left the top spot. This is one of those songs that you either get or don’t get at all with very few middling scores received. It’s unusual in Jess’ discography as it mainly relies on the piano instrumental and brooding synths rather than her vocals which are more an accompaniment to the track rather than essential. It can be seen as quite sparse as there are not many lyrics and of those that are present, they are repeated multiple times throughout the song.

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 07:42 PM

Just before we crack on with the top five, here's a reminder of the remaining songs!

Alarm
Ciao Adios
Rather Be (with Clean Bandit)
Real Love (with Clean Bandit)
Rockabye (with Clean Bandit & Sean Paul)

One of these songs will be crowned our winner! 3 remain for Anne-Marie whereas Jess only has 2 songs remaining.

Posted by: Scene 12th July 2020, 07:42 PM

I actually only discovered 'Rumour Mill' through this rate so I'm pleased I managed to get it top 10 at the last minute. One of AM's finer moments.

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 07:44 PM

It pushed Not Letting Go out which had been top 10 for nearly the whole thing. Goes to show the importance of each and every vote!

Posted by: Bré 12th July 2020, 07:52 PM

Not these results going severely downhill at the last moment xx Yay for 'Don't Be So Hard On Yourself' correctly being Jess' highest song as lead artist I guess but disappointing that it isn't even in the top 5 and has come behind 'Ciao Adios'.

Mildly amusing that in a rate of Anne-Marie and Jess Glynne, there are more Clean Bandit songs in the top 5 than Jess Glynne songs, and the same as the number of Anne-Marie songs. All Clean Bandit top 3 incoming?

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 12th July 2020, 07:55 PM

Don't Be So Hard On Yourself deserved higher! Not a huge fan of 'My Love' but it's not bad.

Posted by: T Boy 12th July 2020, 07:55 PM

Ciao Adios being top 5 is a disturbing development.

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 07:55 PM

#5 - Anne-Marie 'Alarm' (Avg. 7.741)

High Scores: (11 - Dexton, Jack 10 - Cameron, UltraBeKind, Frenchie, George.keh, JosephStyles, Josh!)
Low Scores: (2 - smidsey101)



Time for Anne-Marie’s solo breakthrough, this was the song that brought her name into the public conscious and helped pave the way for her future hits. It managed to peak at #16 in the UK charts yet it stayed in the top 40 for 20 weeks which is almost unheard of these days thanks to ACR. I remember this coming out and thinking it sounded quite different to what the other female popstars were releasing at the time and this still has a fresh sound to it 4 years later.

This song is about the moment a relationship begins to be questioned and the alarm bells go off and being strong enough to cut yourself off from that toxic person. I think this is one of the strongest choruses of any of her songs, it’s catchy and tells a story at the same time and doesn’t rely on the drop to make it memorable. I actually saw Anne-Marie perform an acoustic version of this live at a festival in 2016 just as it was blowing up to less than 100 people and it really showed off the strength of the songwriting. Little did I know it had a team including Steve Mac and Ina Wroldsen behind it!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th July 2020, 07:58 PM

I find 'Take Me Home' quite unpleasant to listen to, it really sounds like she's straining hard to hit notes she can't quite reach. I never quite "got" 'Don't Be So Hard On Yourself' either.

'Right Here' I hold in higher regard now than I did then, but I just love Gorgon City's sound. Also 'My Love' is

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 12th July 2020, 07:58 PM

Love 'Alarm'! . 'Real Love' is by far my least favourite here now so hoping for that to be out next...

Posted by: Klaus 12th July 2020, 07:58 PM

I’ve never got into Alarm, it’s just very... there for me

Real Love shouldn’t be Top 5 either, I like it but I’ve gone of it a bit since its release. It’s quite basic when you think about it ‘real real real real love’

Posted by: UltraBeKind 12th July 2020, 07:58 PM

Anne-Marie having more songs in the top 5, talent wins

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 08:03 PM

#4 - Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne 'Real Love' (Avg. 7.875)

High Scores: (11 - Electroboy, Josh! 10 - Cameron, Riser)
Low Scores: (2.5 - smidsey101)



Not quite the CLEAN sweep some were hoping for! This was a very comfortable 3rd place for so long before being pipped in the last couple days! This was the second time Clean Bandit and Jess had collaborated, hoping to recreate the success again after CB had a little wobble. There was lots of hype around this at the time and it did disappoint slightly upon release as comparisons were being drawn to Rather Be which many artists would kill to have a song become that successful. I think as time has passed this has shown to be a strong song in its own right and it’s another euphoric, care-free moment from Jess. I think the lyrics are a bit weak and the chorus is not particularly thought provoking but it’s been produced very well and Jess’ vocals suit the Clean Bandit production really well.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th July 2020, 08:06 PM

No way should 'Alarm' be lower than 'Ciao Adios'. Jeeeeez.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th July 2020, 08:07 PM

I feel like 'Hold My Hand' is genuinely a much better song than 'Real Love', but it's just all the overplay since then that's probably tainted it for most people.

But I appreciate 'Real Love' wasn't just a copy of 'Rather Be' like it easily could've been.

Posted by: George.keh 12th July 2020, 08:07 PM

Love all these in the top 5. Alarm and Real Love were both brill at the time and still sound as fresh now

Posted by: Scene 12th July 2020, 08:08 PM

So Anne-Marie is the winner when it comes to solo songs.

Posted by: Bré 12th July 2020, 08:09 PM

'Ciao Adios' in the top 3

'Real Love' doesn't feel as memorable to me as most of Clean Bandit's other big hits (not to say it's worse than the others, it's miles better than 'Symphony' and 'Solo' and on basically the same level as 'Rockabye' for me, it just doesn't feel as distinct probably because they have another better song together).

Posted by: Scene 12th July 2020, 08:14 PM

Let's not pretend there was a great deal of competition.

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 08:16 PM

#3 - Anne-Marie 'Ciao Adios' (Avg. 7.906)

High Scores: (11 - Cameron, JosephStyles 10 - UltraBeKind, Davidson, Josh!, Klaus, Calum, MrAndrewMan, Dexton, Scene)
Low Scores: (1 - Bre)



Ciao Adios Bre is DONE. The bop that solidified that Anne-Marie wasn’t playing any games here. This is a melodic song that brings slight Latin/Ace of Base vibes to a modern 2017 production. This does follow a very similar lyrical theme to Alarm about the break-up of a relationship thanks to the boyfriend being unfaithful and Anne-Marie deciding to not put up with their sh*t any longer. This was one of my favourite songs at the time and after her material thus far, she was looking to be one of the UK’s next big popstars, a star is born! I wouldn’t have predicted this top three to begin, however I can see this is a very Buzzjack friendly song and one of the few that I think we can admit is a certified bop regardless of our feelings towards the artist.

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 08:16 PM

So Rather Be vs. Rockabye for the title! Who saw that coming?

Posted by: T Boy 12th July 2020, 08:16 PM

I guess but is that how the winner is decided? Anne Marie seems to have higher individual songs whereas as Jess has more posters in her ‘team’ suggesting she’s favoured overall.

Posted by: Bré 12th July 2020, 08:17 PM

Would me lowering my score to a 0 for 'Ciao Adios' have been enough to knock it down to #4? If so I retroactively lower my score to 0 because it only got a 1 from me because I didn't want to give an excessive number of 0s

I will give it to her that it's probably her catchiest song but catchiness isn't always a good thing.

'Rather Be' to win pls xo I do like both of the top 2 but 'Rockabye' has always been a little overrated.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th July 2020, 08:18 PM

'Ciao Adios' is jarring as hell.

Posted by: Scene 12th July 2020, 08:23 PM

I still hear "shower the horse I'm done". An equine hygiene anthem.

Posted by: T Boy 12th July 2020, 08:25 PM

I’ve never heard that but now I don’t think I’ll hear anything else instead

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 08:27 PM

#2 - Clean Bandit feat. Anne-Marie & Sean Paul 'Rockabye' (Avg. 8.765)

High Scores: (11 - Frenchie, Klumzee 10 - divathinmuffin, Nina West, Davidson, JosephStyles, Jonjo, Bjork, Liam, Klaus, Dexton, Leww)
Low Scores: (1 - smidsey101)



So it’s come down to the Clean Bandit features! Just missing out in 2nd place, although they were never particularly close at any point in the rate, it’s Rockabye which also features Sean de Paul! My choice for the 11 points! This song is a little contentious as it was written by Ina Wroldsen about her love for her child and was blocked by Clean Bandit’s label from actually featuring, presumably due to not being a big enough name. Instead Anne-Marie was shipped in to sing guest vocals and as far as I’m aware she is childless so it could be seen as a little disingenuous. Instead Ina released ‘Favela’ which is more than similar in sound and lyrical theme yet didn’t have the same impact. This is full on Ace of Base and strays quite far from Clean Bandit’s usual wheelhouse with only some rudimentary strings thrown in at the beginning and end of this tropical-house/Latin-pop blend to remind us they actually took part on this track. This is one of the best pop songs written in recent times in my eyes, it’s got hooks galore, brilliant melody, fantastic ad-libs and guest verse from Sean Paul which do not sound ridiculous in context and actually has some deep lyrical content for a pop song. It’s summery, tropical sound perfectly juxtaposed it’s Winter release and stood out immensely on the radio. This also made became a Christmas #1 in the UK and was the first non X-Factor or charity related song to do this since Mad World back in 2003! 9 weeks atop the UK charts helped this to become one of the longest running #1 singles of the 2010’s.

which means our number #1 is...

...

...

...

...

...

...

#1 - Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne 'Rather Be' (Avg. 9.046)

High Scores: (11 - divathinmuffin, Nina West, T-Boy, Davidson, Jonjo, Liam, Dan-G, Klaus, vibe 10 - Frenchie, NickF1, George.keh, Klumzee, Chapman, LL Jord 7)
Low Scores: (2.5 - smidsey101)



And here we have it, Buzzjack’s #1 Jess Glynne or Anne-Marie song is ‘Rather Be’. Congratulations Jess! I can’t say this was a surprise or ever in doubt considering it racked up 9 11’s and only 5 posters ranked this below an 8. This sounded so unique when it came out and we’d never had a chart hit that combined classical and electro sounds into a pop song the way Clean Bandit were doing. Both artists were relatively unknown at the time of release but soon became household names thanks to their consistent hit rates. I think the song is excellently crafted with a big singalong chorus and can appeal to just about everybody without ever sounding like it was trying to, that’s the mark of a brilliant pop song. Did anyone else think Jess Glynne was the Asian girl who Clean Bandit were stalking in the video? This has been certified 4x platinum (sold over 2,400,000 units) and joins a very elite group of songs to achieve this record. It also landed in #2 of the 2014 UK charts behind Pharrell’s Happy and won a Grammy for ‘Best Dance Recording’ in 2015. I think overexposure has killed this song off slightly as it was everywhere for a good couple of years, I seem to remember it featuring in an M&S food advert for a while but this hasn’t damped Buzzjack and the world’s adoration for this song. Jess Glynne was an essential part of this song providing a memorable vocal and showing of her abilities to the world on the first time out and has achieved the well-deserved accolade of winning this rate!

I have not pre-prepared a full results table, but bare with as I write this up!

Posted by: Klumzee 12th July 2020, 08:29 PM

Just tried this, it brings it to the exact same average as Real Love (7.875) so a -1 would have been necessary to knock it from the top three!

Posted by: T Boy 12th July 2020, 08:29 PM

So glad Rather Be won, such a classic. Very well written and well produced and Jess’ vocals really got my attention. She might lack personality but she’s a talented girl.

Posted by: JosephStyles 12th July 2020, 08:33 PM

A predictable winner, I don't really mind Rather Be but I prefer many Clean Bandit songs over it, including Rockabye. So pleased Ciao Adios made the top 3, I didn't see that coming!

Thanks for hosting this Klum, been brilliant to follow

Posted by: Bré 12th July 2020, 08:38 PM

That makes me feel better then x (much as I dislike it it's definitely not -1 worthy when 'Birthday' and 'Perfect To Me' exist)

Jess taking the W predictable but good winner, my 2nd favourite song on the list overall after 'Don't Be So Hard On Yourself'. (Also I definitely did think Jess Glynne was Asian for a little while because of the 'Rather Be' video lmao)

Thanks for running this Klum, has been good fun xx

Posted by: Bjork 12th July 2020, 08:38 PM

the right winner won: Clean Bandit <3

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th July 2020, 08:44 PM

I find it hard to enjoy 'Rockabye' these days, whereas 'Rather Be' hasn't ever really reached that point so I guess it's the more timeless track of the two!

Well I'm glad we all agree Clean Bandit shits over both of these two

Ciao Adios is awful tho, how is that top 3? I guess I should've voted. Hold My Hand is still very charming for me so that should've been top 10! (I guess I just avoid Jet2 adverts?).

Nearly a Clean Bandit sweep So glad "My Love" got #6 considering it can be quite polarising

Patrick this has been one of my favourite rates ever on Buzzjack - such a clever idea and so well-executed. Well done bab x

Interesting the top 2 was a battle between their UK #1 singles they got with Clean Bandit.

I’d say the better song of the two won in the end

Jess won in the end
