05. Perfect Stranger (with Magnetic Man) | 8.68 Highest: 11 (Dobbo), 10 (HarryEzra, gavindeejay, Davidson) Lowest: 6 (TawdryHepburn)

= Turn the Music Louder (Rumble) [with KDA and Tinie Tempah] | 8.68 Highest: 10 (Jack, lewistgreen, HarryEzra, Liam, George.koh) 9.5 (Klaus, Noahspike) Lowest: 7 (Dobbo, Cremey, HausofKatyB)

07. Emotions | 8.64 Highest: 10 (Cremey, Davidson) 9.5 (Klaus) Lowest: 7 (HarryEzra)

 

Emotions is the highest placed album track and a deserving winner of that accolade! Another beautiful song from Little Red that is full of emotion ;o. Turn the Music Louder (Rumble) is Katy's most recent Top 40 single and, particularly important, a NUMBER ONE SINGLE. It came together through KDA producing an instrumental with Katy & Tinie both using it separately to provide vocals over. They brought them together to bag themselves a number one single for themselves. It's such an infectious song! Perfect Stranger is a collaboration with Magnetic Man and was included on both their debut albums and was a Top 20 single.

Perfect Stranger is incred :wub: still sounds huge today, glad that made top 5!

 

Rooting for Katy On A Mission for the win now (it won't but still).

Yes at Perfect Stranger and Turn The Music Louder joint 5th :heart:

Emotions so deserves the accolade of highest album track. It is just stunning from start to finish.

Both of those at 5 are too high, but great to see Emotions at 7 :wub:

I have no doubt that 'Crying for No Reason' will win (and deservedly so) but what a great top 4. '5AM'! :heart:

I really want and hope 5AM pulls a bit of a shock and steals it from CFNR (as much as I love that too)

03. Broken Record | 8.94 Highest: 11 (HarryEzra) 10 (Jack, Josh, Liam, Cremey, Davidson, Noahspike) Lowest: 7.5 (Math) 7 (danG, George.koh)

= Katy on a Mission | 8.94 Highest: 11 (lewistgreen, Math), 10 (Dobbo, Josh, danG, Liam, Cremey, Davidson, Klaus) Lowest: 0 (TawdryHepburn)

 

Just missing out on a 9 average are joint bronze medalists Katy on a Mission and Broken Record! Katy on a Mission was her debut single and its powerful production helped it to become a big surprise hit, ultimately becoming her biggest selling hit. It is a massive statement song to arrive with, and even though it's dupstep inspired production has faded with time, it still sounds so good today! Broken Record was last pre-album single from 'On a Mission' and possibly becomes a surprise high placer here! When this was released, I wasn't as excited about it as her other two solo singles but I've really grown to love it over the years.

As has been hoped/predicted, we have a 5AM vs CRYING FOR NO REASON battle for first place!

 

Both were from Little Red and were next to each other in terms of release but which do Buzzjack members prefer?

Seriously can't abide 'Katy on a Mission', never could. Bloody awful.

 

'5AM', 'Crying For No Reason' and 'Broken Record' is a decent top 3!

 

'5AM' FTW!

'5 AM' is great but it is by no means better than 'Katy On A Mission' or 'Broken Record'.

 

It is definitely slightly overrated on here. 'Crying For No Reason' is her all time best so it must win.

5am out of those two PLS

2 great tracks there, Katy On A Mission was such a HUGE song back then and although there had been small flashes prior it felt like a huge moment in the Dance scene (that and I Need Air). Would love for that type of sound to come back!

 

5AM would be my preferred winner by miles here.

KOAM would've been the perfect winner but I'll take Crying or 5AM (hoping for the latter as some sort of justice for it not being the huge chart hit it should've been).

01. Crying for No Reason | 9.71 Highest: 11 (Liam, gavindeejay, George.koh, Davidson, Klaus) 10 (Jack, Josh, danG, Cremey, HausofKatyB, Math, Noahspike) Lowest: 6 (Dobbo)

02. 5AM | 9.34 Highest: 11 (Jack, HausofKatyB, Noahspike), 10 (HarryEzra, TawdryHepburn, Josh, danG, Liam, Cremey, Klaus) Lowest: 6 (Lewistgreen)

 

and we have our winner! Crying for No Reason manages to gather the most 11s and take the crown from 5AM, both help to represent the excellence of Katy's best album 'Little Red'! 5AM followed the underperformance of 'What Love is Made Of' and became the first 'proper' single from Little Red. Despite gaining a higher peak, it got lost within Q4 and had a swift chart exit. It is the ultimate track in Katy's discography that manages to pull both the dance and pop sides together thought to create a magnificent output. I would loved to see it released when WLIMO was and I'm sure it would have gathered more chart traction, at least Buzzjack fully appreciate it! Crying for No Reason followed 5AM as a release, and was released in the more quieter February period. It managed to give Katy another hit as well as helping her gain a No. 1 album! It is a truly beautiful track. this time being the ultimate masterclass in Katy's lyrics, one of the best aspects of Katy. She's able to pour her heart out in the song and the production helps to really build up and express this pain and angst. It all builds to one of the best outros seen in recent years. A truly deserving winner!

 

Amazing top 3 there even if a little predictable number one (but CFNR is still very good so no complaints really). 5AM and Broken Record are probably in my top 2 of hers so pleased they finished top 3.

Can't say fairer than that as a winner, ultimately.

Thanks to everyone for taking part and commenting <3
