Thanks to the 35 people who participated in last week's poll

Official results from week 1:

[ 13 ] The Cast Of Wonka - You've Never Had Chocolate Like This (#78)
[ 9 ] Flo Milli - Never Lose Me (#63)
[ 6 ] Travis Scott - MY EYES (#71)

BuzzJack's favourite top 100 hit for 2024 week 1 and auto-qualifying for the January monthly round is The Cast Of Wonka - You've Never Had Chocolate Like This.



Huh. I suppose I cannot ever underestimate how much BuzzJack doesn't like voting for rap songs in this. The first win of the year in a very limited field goes to a song from the soundtrack to Wonka, starring American/Frenchman Timothée Chalamet as the titular lead who also took it upon himself to provide vocals for most of the songs from the soundtrack, he's better known as an actor than a singer of course so this is unsurprisingly his first chart appearance. (Among the other cast who pop up on the song, albeit seemingly just for 3 words, is Matt Lucas who is a chart veteran both in his own name and in character as literal UK #1 artist Andy Pipkin). 'You've Never Had Chocolate Like This' doesn't seem to actually be the most popular song from the soundtrack but it's the one we've got in the low end of the top 100 seemingly just because it's included on the soundtrack twice in two slightly different versions. I've embedded the longer version which includes contributions from other cast members but the shorter version is billed solely to Chalamet. It's got the nod of approval from 37% of participants which is another pretty weak winner but to its credit it did at least manage to reach double figure votes and beat the 'none of the above' option by 1 vote. Not so much for the other two contenders, although they do both at least pass the 5 vote threshold. Flo Milli's debut hit comes in 4 votes behind Timothée & co. leaving the wooden spoon in the hands of the latest revolving door hit from Travis Scott's 'UTOPIA' album.

After the slow start to the year we have a more healthy 10 new entries this week totalling 34 minutes and 18 seconds, although worth noting that 2 of these 'new' songs are in fact from last decade. The fresh hits include veritable BuzzJack favourites like Lewis Capaldi (twice) and D-Block Europe. Will be interesting to see if 'none of the above' still comes into play in the results this week, I don't think any of these songs are likely to be universal BuzzJack faves but I also will hope that most people will like at least something here



Vote for as many or as few songs as you want and would be ideal if you can make sure you've heard all the songs before voting if possible!

Staying on time (close enough) with the weekly polls of the year so far, let's try and keep that up, next poll up on Sunday night / early Monday morning (21st into 22nd) x Don't forget to also vote in the December 2024 monthly round if you haven't already, that remains open for nearly another week as well (deadline 4pm on Sunday 21st).
