👊 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.

okay now I'm salty 'here with me' is fine and all but it shouldn't have beaten 'ladbroke grove' in the slightest

 

also 'dance monkey' going out to a very overrated song stings

Kygo & Whitney Houston – Higher Love vs. Mabel – Don’t Call Me Up - (came very close to abstaining on this one as they're both bad songs by artists who I have a general disdain towards and I really couldn't care less which one goes through but I guess DCMU is marginally more listenable)
