👊 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.

Pompeii is the only song in the final from the 2010s/20s - unless Mr Brightside counts as a 2019 song since it came from that round :lol: In fact, if we split the 16 years of 2006-2021 in half, from 2014-2021 only Symphony (and Mr Brightside again if it counts) even made the last 16. Anyways...

I think it'd be neat if MCR end up winning this after being literally the first song in the first round. x
