👊 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.

I do love 'Pompeii' but -_- at it having now knocked out both 'Royals' and 'Do I Wanna Know?', both of which I love more - I guess I am now rooting for it to win the whole thing so those losses weren't in vain xx Yay for Klangkarussell making the final 4 though, and a very strong top 4 all around *.*

 

First Draw:

Klangkarussell featuring Will Heard - Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine) vs. Disclosure featuring AlunaGeorge - White Noise - (I liked 'White Noise' more at the time but I think the Klangkarussell song has actually aged slightly better, plus rooting for the underdog xo)

If Arctic Monkeys had won I would have had all my choices from last round through, I suppose it makes a couple of the draws easier to decide here. Although saying that I do think Pompeii is a great song too and the final songs falling more in my favour than other years makes these choices harder.

Solid final 4, but could've been better. I really don't get the love for Summertime Sadness, it's an alright remix, but it's not a patch on her other work, eh x

Interesting final four but some great songs, my Summertime Sadness votes are for the Lana original (if judged on the remix only, I'd have voted Pompeii in the first draw here and differently in some earlier rounds too...)
