👊 BUZZJACK 15TH ANNIVERSARY KO 🥊

We may have just collectively got Mollie King BACK in the iTunes Top 40 but the fun doesn't stop there. We'll be celebrating the last 15 years of Buzzjack with a favourite pastime of the forum which is of course voting in polls. Taking inspiration from the successful format the Artist Forums have been using we'll be putting the biggest songs of the past 15 years head to head. Here's how it will work.

In theory, the year-end top 64 for each year will partake. However to avoid repeats the song will only be put in the first year it made the top 64, and the few positions below 64 are added to make up the difference. Any songs that made the top 64 of 2005 will likewise not be put in the 2006 round and not be a part of the game. The titles will be seeded by pitting the year-end #1 with the #64, and so on as would often happen in actual sport. Of course, year-end positions often don't correlate to BuzzJack tastes so we could very well see some tough match-ups even in the opening stage of the competition. In each round half of the competing songs will be kicked out until there is one standing. The top 4 of each year will go to the Grand Finale to determine the ultimate champion of the BuzzJack Boxing Ring.

To vote simply highlight your favourite of each pairing.

A new round will open every few days so make sure to get your votes in quickly.

Sadly LMFAO just lose out to Nicki Minaj this time around, with Pitbull leaving as well it wasn't a good round for rap-dance hybrids. Rihanna gets both of hers through, but they will now be paired together so RIP to S&M in advance. We Found Love was once again the biggest winner of the round thrashing Profesor Green. Adele is also through with all three of her songs, beating out Nicole Scherzinger, Jessie J and The Wanted. Thankfully Bruno Mars is now out of the competition getting beat by Coldplay and Aloe Blacc. We also sadly lose Earthquake, Jar of Hearts and Feel So Close although all three were paired against even stronger songs. Ed Sheeran is vanquished for now thanks to DJ Fresh. JLS are the second-biggest losers of the round having gone up against Katy Perry.
