I'm gutted at Billie leaving but yasssss still at her avoiding the bottom 5 and beating some of the heavy hitters so I'll take that <3

I think it was Rush who guessed our plans correctly in the play-off thread haha. We thought Lovely was gonna be enough to sneak us through in a single elimination so we were gonna send Bury A Friend next round as it was a double and You Should See Me In A Crown after that. If YSSMIAC made it through, I think we would've just chosen our fave Billie song cos anything else would've def gone out

Sad to see Lovely be the song that puts Billie out but I think she was going sooner or later anyway, Bury A Friend probably would have been the only other song that had a chance of going through after that.

Yep, that was me! Can't fault the strategy; you did well to survive 3 times without even using 'bury a friend' yet.

If you'd gotten to the point where anything would definitely lose, imo you should've gone out with a bang and picked '!!!!!!!'

Being a massive nerd I’ve decided to create a points system depending on the placing of each artist each round and thus far Britney is leading the way

Holler managing to survive though 😐 if they had a couple more hits I'd have pegged them to have won this thing after seeing that get through. 😱😱

Posted by: Bjork May 26 2019, 07:53 PM

yes Holler was by miles and miles the worst in the list

So that leaves Calvin as the lone “new” forum in the game. Y’all just don’t think the others have that much appeal.

Can you not???

K-Pop - I don't know what happened there, I'd have assumed BLACKPINK were big enough to get past the first round.

RuPaul - is a TV Show more than it's known for it's acts songs

Billie - literally had one realistic track left (before going into album tracks/deep cuts) due to not being around for too long yet.

Paramore - They outperformed many peoples expectations I assume? They're against A LOT of big Pop Buzzjack faves. Managed to out do Rihanna and Ariana.

Calvin - doesn't look like he's gonna be leaving anytime soon. His fanbase is strong and has plenty of hits left to get him through each round!

I agree in all honesty. I think K-Pop should have done better though if I'm being honest, there's a big fan base on K-Pop, I just don't think it was the strongest song to send 'Boy With Love' probably would have qualified and K Pop will only continue growing in the UK.

Billie only had one more song left and for a new artist, she's done incredibly well and I'm sure if this takes place again then she could be a top 10 contender but for a new artist she's over performed.

I feel like Paramore could have lasted longer though, 'The Only Exception', 'Misery Business' are popular and 'Still Into You' would have came top 3 in almost any poll.
