Ultimate 'Casualties of Streaming' Rate



Believe it or not, we are approaching 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 will be randomised and split into 12 groups (any songs that fit the criteria within the month of June 2019 will be placed in the later groups).

2 groups will be open each 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.

BTS really getting paid dust in this even with like their best song, poor hens xx

Great to see Duke Dumont, Christine and Vampire Weekend all through to the final as they're the only 3 I really loved from these groups though. LP and Sub Focus also good qualifiers and a nice surprise that Foo Fighters have made the playoff.

Good results in both groups, particularly glad to see 'Ocean Drive' and 'Cloudbusting' make the finals. Fergie robbed though.

Loïc Nottet deserved better not a lot else to complain about though!
