👊 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.

31 v 10 | Lady Gaga - Bad Romance vs. James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings

Lady Gaga almost got defeated but is still in the running with all 4 of her songs, with Agnes and Dizzee Rascal being close calls. However, anyone who has noticed how the pairings are being made may have realised that Gaga will only be able to progress with 2 songs into Round 4, as she will now be going head-to-head... with herself. As will La Roux who have both of their songs progress with ease, the former doing so even against Taylor Swift. Of the three ties of last round; Beyonce managed to beat Jay Z this time with Journey lagging behind, Lily Allen thrashed both Flo Rida and T.I. - the latter very nearly being the first to have nil points in a round, and David Guetta beat the pairing of JLS and Ciara. The Black Eyed Peas were caught in three incredibly close calls, but only progress with one; Boom Boom Pow just manages to beat Keri Hilson, but their bigger hit in I Gotta Feeling loses out to Day N Nite, and Meet Me Halfway narrowly loses out to Beyonce.
