HOW IS EMINEM NOT ONE OF THE CHOICES

I just wanna rave about his first two or three albums

Posted by: Jaspine Thompson 26th February 2016, 06:12 PM

f***ing yes

I thought about that but for now I'll leave it to the smaller artists. Maybe in the summer though!



31. In The Ayer (feat. will.i.am) 5.066666667
32. Turn Around (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) 4.964285714
33. Get Low (with Waka Flocka Flame feat. Nicki Minaj & Tyga) 4.875
34. Can't Believe It (feat. Pitbull) 4.863636364
35. Who Dat Girl (feat. Akon) 4.785714286
36. How I Feel 4.730769231
37. Tell Me When You Ready (feat. Future) 4.375 (6.5 high)
38. Available (feat. Akon) 4.375 (6 high)
39. I Don't Like It, I Love It (feat. Robin Thicke & Verdine White) 3.882352941
40. There Goes My Baby (with Enrique Iglesias) 3.8
41. Here It Is (feat. Chris Brown) 3.375

Not off to the greatest of starts for me So Here It Is is at #41 which I quite enjoyed listening to, giving it a #9 featuring Chris Brown from the My House EP. It didn't chart in the UK, but an even bigger loss is next at #40 with Enrique Iglesias with There Goes My Baby. I gave it a 10 because it's quite a great but underrated summery song (which you could tell by its lyric video) unfortunately its average was a pretty shit 3.8 as it recieved 2 -1s and a 0. But I already know the forum has limited Enrique fans, but it's better than his previous single I'm A Freak, no? the song peaked at a floppy #50

Getting a slightly higher average of 3.88 is the Robin Thicke collab. But there won't be many fans of him here either it recieves more -1s though (3) and 2 0s, along with other mostly very low scores. It peaked at #7 in the UK.

I'm glad How I Feel is quite low here. It's quite a poor sample from him despite the previous singles before it being great Flo's rapping wasn't must better for me. It did reasonably well in the chart though, peaking at #8. A few more collabs and older songs complete the top 30 misses.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 26th February 2016, 06:24 PM

"I'm A Freak" sucks and "There Goes My Baby" is equally annoying. I'm all for the use of a generic progressive drop, but if even I say it's too generic, that's saying something ENRIQUE.

Posted by: Jaspine Thompson 26th February 2016, 06:50 PM

21. Dirty Mind (feat. Sam Martin) 5.409090909 (8 high)
22. Feel It (with Three 6 Mafia & Sean Kingston vs. Tiesto) 5.409090909
23. G.D.F.R. (feat. Sage The Gemini & Lookas) 5.409090909
24. Be On You (feat. Ne-Yo) 5.409090909
25. Sweet Spot (feat. Jennifer Lopez) 5.409090909
26. Shone (feat. Pleasure P) 5.409090909
27. Elevator (feat. Timbaland) 5.428571429
28. Tonight Belongs to U (with Jeremih) 5.409090909
29. Run (feat. Redfoo) 5.333333333
30. Hangover (with Taio Cruz) 5.409090909



I actually thought #30, Hangover with Taio Cruz did quite well here so I'm happy for that Cody had complete control over the tying Sweet Spot and Shone, as he gave both their maximum scores, only Sweet Spot a 9 and Shone an 8.5. My least favourite here, GDFR ends at #23 with some guy called Lookas and Sage The Gemeni. I don't really like this because the production sounds too similar to PSY's Hangover (haha, Flo Rida has a song called Hangover here as well ) which I didn't like at all :/ (but his other tracks I love) and the rapping didn't really "suit" him in the track. But clearly it's a moderately favourable track from the majority here, so never mind

Feel It is catching #22 collaberating in a dance track with Three 6 Mafia, Sean Kingston and Tiesto it peaked at a considerably shabby #86 in the chart. Again it's not the sort of thing Buzzjack supports so it's good to see it high as #22

Just missing the top 20 is one of his most recent tracks Dirty Mind. Quite good, but nothing special in my eyes (or ears ) do you see a swinging lamp in the video, or something else?




I'm planning to post #11-#20 tomorrow and the top 10 on Sunday. Then if I'm not busy I'll open the next rate

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 26th February 2016, 06:52 PM

In The Ayer is the only one in that section that's not utter crap, and that's not very good either. Good start to the results!

And G.D.F.R is the only loss in that section Wish that made the top 10, such a jam!

How I Feel low

Posted by: Jonjo 27th February 2016, 03:30 AM

No major travesties as of yet, but I am incredibly disappointed (not surprised) that 'Tonight Belongs 2 U' isn't in the top 20. WHAT A BANGER. Had it been an actual hit, I think it would be a hell of a lot higher tbh.

Posted by: Jaspine Thompson 27th February 2016, 10:36 AM

Yes it's quite the tune (produced by Guetta as well!)

I'm under the impression that Jeremih is another of those artists despised by Buzzjack hence the low score

Posted by: Jaspine Thompson 27th February 2016, 06:04 PM

#20: Let It Roll

You got me trippin' why our love is old
Come on baby, let the good times roll...

Avg: 5.692307692



It makes you feel good: mdh 10), Taylor, Spadz, Cody (8)

The party gon' stop: Harry (0), UV (2), gavindeejay (4)


This was pretty much the end of the Good Feeling era where I properly enjoyed his samples, as I am not a big fan of How I Feel. It samples Freddie King's "Let the Good Time Roll". It peaked at #17 in the UK.


#19: Goin' In (with Jennifer Lopez)

Tonight feels like we can do anything we like, oh
Tonight feels like the best night of my life...

Avg: 5.833333333



Nothing but the best: Cody (10), Lee, Riser (8)

Put me in a cell: Acidburn (1), mdh (2), mr_aly (4)


Flo Rida features in the J-Lo single Goin' In at #19. It did not reach the UK Chart. Decent listen but not a huge highlight in either artist's career for me.


#18: In the Dark (Remix) (with Dev)

Close my eyes, here you are,
Dance-dance-dancing in the dark...

Avg: 5.916666667



Yeah it’s time for the beauty: Spadz, Cody, Riser (9), Harry, Froot (8)

Girl I can’t see: Lee (-1), Taylor (2), UV (4)


The remix of Dev's #37 peaking single In The Dark features Flo Rida, making it eligible for this rate. And I'm glad it is because it's a bop loving the production and Dev's chorus *.* Flo Rida's effort as a featuring artist here is all but a great addition to further the quality of the song


#17: Club Rocker (with Inna)

You can be my daddy, I feel ecstatic,
Don't worry we can make love automatic...

Avg: 5.944444444



I think I like yo: Acidburn, Joe (8)

I think you're naughty: mdh, Harry (3)


Coming from Inna now, we have Club Rocker. She's got bigger anthems but this is still something I listen to now and then. It also missed the UK Chart.



#16: My House

Welcome to my house, play that music too loud,
Show me what you do now, we don't have to go out...

Avg: 6.384615385



You know that you wanna stay: mdh (11), Cody (9), Spadz, Lee, Riser (8)

That music too loud: UV, Harry (3), Chez (4)


Another very recent track which was in the top 100 iTunes UK quite recently actually. It peaked at #74, not too shabby Again one of those average but great tracks. Flows very well







5 more songs later and then we're doing the top 10 on Sunday hopefully!

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 27th February 2016, 06:09 PM

Where is Lil Jon's credit in "Goin' In"?

"Whistle" doing surprisingly well

Posted by: Jaspine Thompson 27th February 2016, 08:12 PM

Small adjustment.

In The Dark is actually at #18, leaving Club Rocker at #17, My House at #16 and Change Your Life at #15 I have made the appropriate amendments in the last post

#15: Change Your Life (with Far East Movement feat. Sidney Samson)

I can show you better better (oh oh),
Change your life forever ever...

Avg: 6.388888889



So good you don't wanna leave: mdh, Harry (9), Spadz (8.5)

I ain't never had a drunk: Taylor (3), UV (4)


It's quite a shame this didn't chart at all in the UK it's quite the tune with all the artists featuring on it sometimes the Sidney parts can drag on a bit but the song is overall great



#14: Whistle

Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby,
Let me know...

Avg: 6.470588235



You love freak mode: Cody (11), mdh, Lee (10), Spadz, Riser (9), UV (8.5)

Who in the hell done paved the road wider?: mr_pmt, Harry (2), Chez, Froot (3)


Now we're at "Whistle Baby" () It's one of Flo's biggest hits, released in 2012 from Wild Ones. Peaking at #2 and held off by the borefest that is Gary Barlow and The Commonwealth Band feat. The Military Wives - Sing The lyrics couldn't be more obvious as to what the song is about but apart from that, great little summer tune!


#13: I Cry

I know, caught up in the middle,
I cry just a little when I think of letting go...

Avg: 6.735294118



Look at me steering, got no boss staring: Spadz, Iz (11), mdh, Joe (10), Cody, Riser (9), Taylor, Acidburn (8)

Gave up on the riddle: Harry (-1), UV (0), Froot (2), mr_pmt (4)


I Cry (at this finishing at only #13 ) I think this had eventually surpassed my love for Wild Ones and I think this jut makes great use of the sample from Bingo Players/Brenda Russel. A radio friendly banger, but not loved enough here for top 10 it would seem at least it slayed the charts at #3


#12: Low (feat. T-Pain)

She hit the floor (she hit the floor), next thing you know,
Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low...

Avg: 6.764705882



Had the million dollar vibe: Cody, Lee (10), Spadz, mdh, Joe, Harry (9), mr_pmt, Chez, Froot, Jonjo (8)

She threw it back at me: UV (-1), Taylor (0), Iz (4)


All the way back to Flo's first ever single now. This was a big tune back then! I admit I probably don't love it now then when it was released but again this should have been at least top 10! At least there's some big tunes still left in the top 10


#11: Jump (feat. Nelly Furtado)

When I say jump, you say how high,
I ain't never seen nobody-ody get so high...

Avg: 6.807692308



High rollin' baby like I'm chokin' on pot: UV (11), Cody (9.5), Spadz (9), mr_pmt (8)

Wanna throw up: Lee (0), Acidburn (3)


This one was used in that film G-Force and features Nelly Furtado. It peaked at #21. The Nelly parts are very recognisable and memorable for me and I think #21 is a bit low for this song but it has a bit of redemption made for it as it is higher at #11 here

Posted by: Acidburn 28th February 2016, 12:53 AM

I would like to see an Akon singles rate next, what ever happened to him.

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 28th February 2016, 07:59 PM

Just 5 today as I've had a busy day (makes a change ) top 5 hopefully tomorrow!

#10: Good Feeling

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah,
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no, I get a good feeling, yeah...

Avg: 6.852941176



Oh, you like that gossip: mdh (11), UV, Taylor, Spadz (10), Cody (9.5), Acidburn, Haus, gavindeejay, Lee, Riser (9)

No more for you: mr_pmt (1), Chez, Joe (2), Iz, Harry (4)

Sampling Etta James' song Something's Got a Hold on Me, is at #10 with Good Feeling. It became his 3rd UK #1 and started his lineup of hits with samples. I'm quite dissapointed this isn't top 5

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 28th February 2016, 08:10 PM

#9: Sugar (feat. Wynter Gordon)

My lips like sugar, my lips like sugar,
This candy got you sprung, this candy got you sprung...

Avg: 7.033333333



Addicted to her gloss: Cody (11), Acidburn, Riser (10), UV, Lee (9), Spadz (8.5), Chez (8)

I've got a mouth full of cavities: Froot (3), mdh, mr_pmt, Harry (4)

A classic that still sounds as fresh today as back when, although I don't love the Blue (Da Ba Dee) sample remake by Eiffel 65 as much as I used to. The Wynter Gordon choruses are still great though so glad this headed for top 10 here it peaked at a measley #18 in the real charts, but sounds like a top 5 hit that should have been!

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 28th February 2016, 08:21 PM

#8: Right Round (feat. Ke$ha)

You spin my head right round, right round,
When you go down, when you go down down...

Avg: 7.352941176



Walk out that house with my swagger: UV, Spadz, Cody, Lee, Jonjo (10), mr_pmt, Haus, Harry (9), Riser (8)

Are ya out of control?: Taylor (-1), mdh (2), gavindeejay (4)

Right Round becomes Flo's first ever #1 in the UK. It features Ke$ha and like many of his singles, samples another song, You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) by Dead Or Alive. It's still a great classic and one of my faves from his older discography despite some low scores (and not a single 11 ) this places at #8. Again, this should be at least top 5!

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 28th February 2016, 08:52 PM

I'm done.

#7: Club Can't Handle Me (feat. David Guetta)


You know I know how, to make em stop and stare as I zone out,
The club can't even handle me right now, watchin' you watchin' me I go all out...

Avg: 7.588235294



Life of the club arrogant like yeah: Spadz, Chez, gavindeejay, Riser (11), Cody, Lee, Jonjo (10), UV, Haus, Froot (8)

It's so ridiculous: mr_pmt, Iz (2), Joe (4)



My favourite of them all finishes at #7. Damn. This fantastic track features credited production from worldwide famous DJ and one of my favourite artists David Guetta. At least it was a big #1 in the UK Charts Nicole Scherzinger actually provides the chorus' vocals but for some reasons she's uncredited here she should have been though as the chorus adds to the awesomeness of the track

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 28th February 2016, 09:14 PM

#6: Starstruck (with Lady Gaga feat. Space Cowboy)

I'm so starstruck,
Baby cause you blow my heart up...

Avg: 7.633333333



Number one on your playlist: UV, Cody, Haus, Harry (10), Spadz (9.5), mdh, mr_pmt (9), Acidburn, Joe (8)

I think it's goin down: NONE

Just missing the top 5 is one of Buzzjack's favourite artists Lady Gaga with Starstruck. It peaked below the top 100 UK charts but surefire redeems itself here production is catchy and Gaga's vocals flow rather well here Flo's part is a good listen too but not big enough to change my overall opinion on the song.

Posted by: Riser 29th February 2016, 03:46 AM

Yes at all the Club Can't Handle Me love I'm happy with that result simply because #7 is far higher than it placed in the David Guetta rate or the Now rate.

Voted for a Pitbull rate, that'd be a dream come true for me and I've considered hosting one myself, but as long as it happens eventually!

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 29th February 2016, 04:25 PM

#5: Troublemaker (with Olly Murs)


Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad (oh oh oh),
My mind keeps saying "Run as fast as you can"...

Avg: 8.058823529



You had me hooked again: Taylor, Acidburn (11), Cody, mdh (10),

I know you're no good: Joe (3)

Olly Murs' Troublemaker was #1 for two weeks in the UK. Flo Rida of course features on it, which is quite a rarity for Olly it does fit in very well to the song though! Shame Olly isn't quite up to this standard nowadays though surprised at how much love this song/Olly has got on here tbh!

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 29th February 2016, 04:51 PM

#4: Where Them Girls At (with David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj)

So many girls in here, where do I begin,
I see this one, I'm 'bout to go in...

Avg: 8.411764706



I swear you're good: Harry (11), UV, Spadz, Cody, Acidburn, gavindeejay, Lee (10), mdh, Haus, Froot, Jonjo (9), TJ, Chez, Joe (8)

No, no, I don't endorse that: mr_pmt (0)

A banger of a track now another David Guetta collab which also features Nicki Minaj. Big tune! #3 is thew highest it reached in the chart though (it might possibly have got to #2 midweek?) definitely sounds like a #1 imo.

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 29th February 2016, 05:00 PM

#3: Bad Boys (with Alexandra Burke)

Yeah, the bad boys are always catching my eye,
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind...

Avg: 8.764705882



They're straight up fun for me: Acidburn, Harry (11), UV, Taylor, mr_pmt, Joe, Haus, gavindeejay, Jonjo (10), Lee (9), Spadz, Cody (8.5), mdh, Froot (8)

It feels my heart's divided: Chez (3)

Another #1! This time Alexandra Burke serves as the lead artist. Nice track

Posted by: mr_pmt 29th February 2016, 05:35 PM

The fact 'Where Them Girls At' is that high actually seriously offends me. It's the worst type of useless generic crap, I'll never understand what good could be seen in it.

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 29th February 2016, 05:36 PM

#2: Higher (with The Saturdays)

So when I speak listen, this is my decision,
And you keep on messing up the words...

Avg: 8.852941176



It's getting hotter, hotter in here: Lee (11), Taylor, Cody, Acidburn, Joe, gavindeejay, Harry, Froot, Jonjo (10), Spadz (9.5), mdh, mr_pmt, Haus (9), Chez, Iz (8)

I'm gon' stay in on my own: UV (0)

It's no surprise to see that The Saturdays are riding high in the results! It's definitely one of their best, although not Flo Rida's. I like his part of course but to see some of his bigger jams lower than this is quite a shame I do really like this though as I did give it a 9.5 It went to #10 on the UK charts, and I believe it to be a big favourite from The Saturdays fans despite its low peak.

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 29th February 2016, 06:07 PM

and the winner is...





















Wild Ones (feat. Sia)

Hey, I heard you were a wild one, oooh,
If I took you home , it'd be a home run, show me how you do...

Avg: 9.117647059



Party rocker, foot-show stopper: Taylor, Joe, Lee, Jonjo (11), Spadz, Cody, Acidburn, Haus, gavindeejay, Harry (10), UV, mdh, Froot (9), Iz, Riser (8)

Got a hangover like too much vodka: mr_pmt (2)

Yes! this was very nearly my 11 as I wanted to give support to what I expected would have a lack of for, I Cry. Fantastic use of Sia's vocals here and the production is epic why this only reached #4 (Even I Cry peaked a place higher at #3) I'll never know


Below are the final results in a spreadsheet! Below average are the average scores each member has rated and the averages at the right are what each song has recieved

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 29th February 2016, 06:11 PM

As there is a tie for who is next, I will be deciding who is next to rate coming up soon!

Posted by: Riser 1st March 2016, 04:30 AM

Oh that top 5 is incredibly disappointing except for the winner. Thank goodness it's an actual Flo Rida song winning and not just a feature.
