It's that time of the year again. Here is the one rate to decide which song that missed the top 10 really should've peaked there. ;) Back for its 10th anniversary and still with the same host as ever, me.

 

We've had 57 'non-top 10' top 20 hits this year; coincidentally this is exactly the same number as we had in 2018 AND 2019, although 'Watermelon Sugar' was still a non-top 10 top 20 hit at the time of voting last year. Any song that entered in the top 20 for the first time in 2019 will be eligible, excluding songs that went on to make the top 10. Any songs that enter the top 20 this week will appear in the 2021 edition if they don't reach the top 10. "Afterglow" by Ed Sheeran and "Paradise" by Meduza will not be included given that they are looking to reach the top 10 this week (if Meduza just miss out, I'll put them in next year's one).

The song with the most points will win the title of the song Buzzjack thinks should have been a UK top 10 smash! :D and will join the hall of honorary UK top tens (listed at the end of the post). Last year 'Lose Control' from Meduza took the title, narrowing beating 'Never Really Over' from Katy Perry.

Honestly the way she's ascending the Christmas pecking order, it wouldn't surprise me if Kelly Clarkson goes top 10 in the near-future as well
