👊 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 2 days so make sure to get your votes in quickly.

20 v 11 v 17 | When The Sun Goes Down - Arctic Monkeys vs. America - Razorlight vs. Me & U - Cassie

Congratulations to Nelly Furtado who wins in a mammoth landslide against the admittedly easy competition of Akon who only sailed through by virtue of being pitted against a rap song in Round 1. The Killers also have a convincing victory against Bob Sinclar, again who beat a rap hit in Round 1. Beyoncé fairly easily beats The Kooks this time despite the tiebreak last round, with both songs of the second tiebreak losing out to Arctic Monkeys although Cassie would've won of the two, putting up a good fight against the Monkeys. We don't have any ties this round but Sexyback and Smile were very close to tying against Sorry and Unfaithful so commiseration to those.

Finally yay for Gnarls Barkley, MCR, Bodyrox, Cascada and David Guetta going through convincingly. Not so yay for Rogue Traders and Fedde Le Grand losing.

I seem to like the left hand side :o

Thought 'Me & U' might be advantaged in that 3-way on the basis of the other 2 being more likely to share fans genre-wise, which looks like it happened somewhat, but not enough to win.
