👊 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.

17 v 22 | Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5 vs. No-One - Alicia Keys
17 v 22 | Apologize - Timbaland featuring OneRepublic vs. Foundations - Kate Nash

An outcome I wasn't expecting (nor hoping for) firstly with the year-end #1 Bleeding Love losing out to Fall Out Boy, and by 5 votes too. Meanwhile Rihanna quite convincingly wins against herself as I suspected, with Umbrella securing most of the vote and having the biggest landslide of the round. Sugababes also very convincingly beat Gym Class Heroes, and with them land sliding in both rounds they seem like a firm contender. As I predicted we do sadly lose all three of the house producer driven tracks in this round, although Mason came fairly close to Kaiser Chiefs. The hyped Girls Aloud v Robyn battle ended up with Robyn claiming victory. There were a few closer calls though with JoJo beating The Fray by a single vote, and Hellogoodbye doing the same against Gwen Stefani (the second pop female they've managed to win against, but I suspect the third may be too much of a challenge for them...). However due to one poster disliking two songs so much they refused to vote, both Hoosiers and 50 Cent are through to Round 3 from a tie. However they are up against BuzzFave Robyn so, erm, good luck reaching double digit votes.
