👊 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.

Two incredibly close calls here but in the end Sex On Fire wins by a single vote yet again and Womanizer just about beats Girls Aloud kicking them out of the game for good. Britney's other song here is out with September progressing. Ting Tings likewise only get 1 of their 2 through but it's not the one you'd expect, as That's Not My Name is eliminated due to a stronger competition. Kings of Leon have both of theirs through as Use Somebody gives Wiley the biggest thrashing of the round, however only one of theirs can progress to the final 4. Of the bloodbath pairing Coldplay end up beating Rihanna putting her out of the running for this year.

argh I missed the last round, first one I've missed :cry: though I would've voted for both Womanizer & Sex On Fire in those close rounds so that's not too bad at least :kink: (would've voted for Run/That's Not My Name/Don't Stop The Music (tho the latter is overrated) & wish Piece Of Me lasted a lil longer but I love cry for you as much)

yeah those were all easy af. As one of the rare ones that really loves 2008 chart music, the top 8/16 have been pretty underwhelming :cry:

Britney Spears - Womanizer vs. Coldplay - Viva La Vida (pull through D:)

Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody vs. Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire

September - Cry For You vs. Estelle featuring Kanye West - American Boy

Killers - Human vs. Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go (Love Human, but I assume it will win easy, Shut Up... getting this far is amazing, it's their best song next to Great DJ so I'm glad to see it).

Hardest was KOL! I like them both about the same. But the other 3 were relatively easy. Coldplay & Estelle are 2 of the most overrated songs of 2008. I like Ting Tings SU&LMG but it pales in comparison to 'Human'!
