👊 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.

Kungs vs. Cookin' On 3 Burners - This Girl vs. Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna - This Is What You Came For

 

great results there, I'm particularly impressed that Lush Life managed to beat Into You for the latter being so highly regarded in Record of the Decade. Kungs also narrowly beating Mike Posner is great to see although I had expected he'd win by a bit more than one vote. however this round goes it'll be shaping up to be a great set of finalists.

very tough to choose the second duel as they're both huge favourites, Faded being one of the best chart hits of the entire decade makes it my final choice.

My votes for 2016 - Round 4 are as follows...

 

The Weeknd featuring Daft Punk - Starboy

Alan Walker - Faded

Sia featuring Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills

Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna - This Is What You Came For *

 

* This was too close for me to call because I do like the Kungs record, but I voted for Calvin Harris and Rihanna mainly because I am a fan of Drake and Rihanna.
