PFSC SPECIAL #2: Best Pop of 2023

 

 

WELCOME TO THE 2nd ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE BEST POP SONGS OF THE YEAR!

 

I want this to be a celebration of the very best Pop of 2023. You can choose anything that was released in 2023... as long as it is a POP release. So singles, album tracks, special releases etc... as long as it has a "Released in *insert month* 2023" release date. It's fair game.

 

I will be using guidance from the placings of artists within these genre forums, so if their thread is located in any of the other genre forums, then there is a high chance it won't be included. However, I do appreciate some artists do have some "pop" moments amongst their albums so I won't be TOO strict, but please stick to as pop as you can possibly get. An example of that could be (I'll use one from a couple of years ago as an example) Tinashe's '³³³' album is located in the R&B and Hip-Hop forum (rightfully so) but 'The Chase' - a song from that album - is very much a pop moment. So that kinda thing I won't mind. Ultimately though, I will have the final say.

 

I want this to be a celebration of the best pop releases of the year. YOUR favourites. Try not to go for something just coz you think it will win this contest. Go for something you have LOVED from this year.

 

If someone takes your artist first, I will be asking for your next choice. If your chosen artist is a featured artist and is being used by someone else (as a solo artist or vice-versa), you will be asked to reconfirm with a different artist. In the rare occurrence of covers, samples, interpolations etc... I don't mind them being entered, but if someone else confirms with a track that has also used that same track, then you will be asked to reconfirm.

 

All the lengthy parts are out the way here is the only other rule:

 

- An artist with an "Artist Forum" here on Buzzjack CANNOT be entered. Here is the FULL list of those with Artist Forums:

- Ariana Grande

- Britney Spears

- Dua Lipa

- Girls Aloud (or Solo)

- Katy Perry

- Kylie Minogue (or Dannii appaz lmaoooo)

- Lady Gaga

- Little Mix (or Solo)

- Madonna

- One Direction (or Solo)

- P!nk

- Rihanna

- RuPaul (or the Drag Stars from the show)

- Spice Girls (or Solo)

- STEPS (or Solo)

- Sugababes (or Solo)

- Take That (or Solo; inc Robbie)

- Taylor Swift

 

Basically, this contest is predominantly for the pop hoes amongst us! Whether it was a chart hit or not doesn't matter. WE'RE CELEBRATING ALL THINGS POP FROM THIS YEAR (well, most - sorry Swifties </3). Exciting times! Remember... don't just choose a song coz you think it'll win, choose coz you LOVE it!

Let me mull this one over a little. I *get* it and I don't want to be *too* strict. Your 2nd choice would be fine. I do see your argument though... :thinking:

Aiming for my b2b last place again! :cheer:
