It's that time of the year again. Here is the one rate to decide which song that missed the top 20 really should've peaked there. ;) Back for its 8th anniversary now and with a brand new host, thanks Dobbo for keeping it going until now!

 

Here is how it works. Any song that entered in the top 40, but failed to reach the top 20, for the first time in 2021 will be eligible. 96 titles are therefore eligible for competition, which will be randomly split into two semi-finals.

 

We have no time for songs that miss the top 20 twice, so only songs that reach the top 20 of the semi-final will qualify to the grand final.

 

Last year Dua Lipa won in a landslide with "Hallucinate". Could she do so again this year with "We're Good"?

 

Past results

2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014
