👊 BUZZJACK 15TH ANNIVERSARY KO 🥊

Posted June 30, 20213 yr

👊 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.

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.

Adele - Hello vs. Rachel Platten - Fight Song

Major Lazer & DJ Snake featuring MØ - Lean On vs. Galantis - Peanut Butter Jelly

James Bay - Hold Back The River vs. Sam Feldt featuring Kimberly Anne - Show Me Love - (kill it)

Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean vs. Felix Jaehn featuring Jasmine Thompson - Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better)

Justin Bieber - Sorry vs. Pia Mia featuring Chris Brown & Tyga - Do It Again - (obligatory f*** Chris Brown but this was a bop)

Years & Years - King vs. Naughty Boy featuring Beyonce & Arrow Benjamin - Runnin' (Lose It All)

Maroon 5 - Sugar vs. Sam Smith - Like I Can - (lowkey forgot that Sam song existed but it was one of their better songs from that era)

Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand vs. Avicii - Waiting For Love

Skrillex & Diplo with Justin Bieber - Where Are U Now vs. Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall

Jason Derulo - Want To Want Me vs. David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack - Hey Mama - (meh at both [2])

The Weeknd - Earned It (Fifty Shades Of Grey) vs. Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You

Little Mix - Black Magic vs. Nick Jonas - Jealous - (this is truly the battle of 'which shade of beige paint would you prefer' - Little Mix edge it out for having less cringeworthy lyrics but two of the most bang average radio filler songs imaginable)

Philip George - Wish You Were Mine vs. James Bay - Let It Go - (maybe the toughest choice here? both very mid level faves for me and both songs I haven't thought about for a long time, but I think the James Bay song would probably have aged better)
