👊 BUZZJACK 15TH ANNIVERSARY KO 🥊

For any newcomers here is how this works. 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.

A big shame to see Faul & Wad Ad, Mr Probz and Route 94 leaving, though at least two of those were close and Mr Probz put up more of a fight against Sia than I expected. Clean Bandit winning against Mark Ronson with ease is great to see too. Lol that Pitbull and Imagine Dragons tie again though, I believe that is a first. Maybe the two should do a collab and perhaps it'd give them some relevance again.

 

Lilly Wood, Duke Dumont, Kiesza and Tove Lo thrashing their competition is very welcome too, though sadly Kiesza now has too big of an opponent in Clean Bandit and I've been made to vote against Lilly Wood too as thankfully Oliver Heldens did indeed beat Idina Menzel.

I guess we are all 'Changes' haters after all, no way it deserved to lose to one of Calvin's worst hits. x
