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 9th anniversary now, and 2nd time with me as the host.

 

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 2022 will be eligible. 103 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.

 

Past results

2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014

Simply rank your top 10 favourites like this (or at least 5 if you're struggling to find that many songs you enjoy)

+10

+08

+04

And if there is something on the list that you really hate, you have this option;

-02 Least Favourite

 

The song with the most points will win the title of the song Buzzjack thinks should have been a UK top 20 smash! :D and will join the hall of honorary UK top twenties (listed at the end of the post).
