Posted January 8, 20241 yr Apologies for taking so long, I’ve got some mock exams this week so have had some revision to do. I was planning on kicking this off today but sociology decided not to stay in my memory so in my revision breaks I’ve finished my EOY but still have some work to do. I’ll probably kick results off tomorrow and they should be done by Friday but bear with!
January 9, 20241 yr Author As a reminder, here’s how the official top 10 songs of the year looked: 1. Flowers - Miley Cyrus 2. Sprinter - Dave & Central Cee 3. Escapism. - RAYE ft. 070 Shake 4. Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift 5. Miracle - Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding 6. Calm Down - Rema & Selena Gomez 7. Kill Bill - SZA 8. Boys a liar - PinkPantheress & Ice Spice 9. As It Was - Harry Styles 10. People - Libianca And now to see how buzzjsck ranked this;

January 10, 20241 yr Author Also sorry Joseph I’m shamelessly stealing parts of your posts :kink: shoutout fo Joseph for the posts it’s all his hard work!
January 10, 20241 yr Author #09: -42 POINTS Miley Cyrus Flowers 1st single from Endless Summer Vacation Released: 13th January 2023 Label: Smiley Miley Chart Statistics NE (26/01/2023) | 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-7-9-10-12-12-16-17-17-24-24-29-32-29-26-30-33-41-34-34-38-38-38-40-40-48-52-52-51-49-50-52-61-77-x
January 10, 20241 yr Author Now… personally I quite like sprinter, which is surprising as I have disliked almost everything central cee has ever (released) from his mouth! Sure it got boring after a while and radio one playing if every week didn’t help but imo it’s not the worst on the list. Miley, yeah she should be down here. Mediocre overrated song from the start. I still don’t get how this was massive but bangers from her like mothers daughter or midnight sky or even prisoner pale in comparison. Plastic hearts era deserved this success
January 10, 20241 yr Author Also spoiler alert, only the top 3 are in positive points! Which means everything 10-4 has negative points. Make predictions on who you think has fallen into the good graces of buzzjsck!
January 10, 20241 yr I don't mind 'Sprinter' either myself. Nothing I'd listen to on my own but it was ahead of any other Central Cee song, not that that's hard exactly. 'Flowers' I did like a lot at the start but was never a massive fave for me. She set the standard too high with Plastic Hearts and the amazing singles from it <3
January 10, 20241 yr Fairly sure about 2 of the songs that'll be on positive points but the other one could be one of a few :thinking: I never really loved 'Flowers' that much in the first place whereas I really like most of the other songs here so it would probably have been my -5 regardless but the overplay certainly hasn't helped lol
January 10, 20241 yr I hate Sprinter with a passion but the chart Show is to blame as they insist to play it every week even in week 75 :o Flowers deserves to be near the bottom, it has too many gimmicks, the story line, the lyrics, the interpolation, everything is so gimmicky
January 10, 20241 yr Fairly sure about 2 of the songs that'll be on positive points but the other one could be one of a few :thinking: I think it'll be the two long-running #1s on the weekly reshuffle this year plus one near the end of last year. There was a fourth long-running #1 earlier last year, but that has since outstayed its welcome somewhat so I expected it'll be in the negatives.
January 10, 20241 yr I'd guess Escapism and Miracle are +ve and then one of Calm Down or People or Anti Hero
January 10, 20241 yr I still enjoy Sprinter - I really like some of the rhythms like in the “too many many gal” bit, and the guitars and the chilled out mood of it. Flowers was a clever idea but got old pretty quickly.
January 10, 20241 yr surprised the majority of songs are in the negative, guess it means lots of different tastes in music
January 10, 20241 yr Author #08: -41 POINTS Libianca People 1st single from Walk Away Released: 6th December 2022 Label: 5K Records / Sony Music Entertainment UK Chart Statistics NE (12/01/2023) | 92-60-27-18-22-17-15-13-11-8-7-5-4-4-2-4-4-3-4-18-24-28-32-38-42-44-47-43-46-49-54-54-56-58-62-70-78-79-89-95-94-97-x
January 10, 20241 yr Author #07: -15 POINTS Harry Styles As It Was 1st single from Harry's House Released: 1st April 2022 Label: Erskine Records Chart Statistics NE (14/04/2022) | [1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-2-2-2-3-3-16-20-21-22-18-21-26-28-28-24-32-36-34-37-33-41-54-61-73-81-96]-19-30-37-45-43-34-7-6-8-9-8-8-9-7-6-8-7-8-10-12-10-4-9-7-5-8-13-14-41-44-49-49-51-50-51-56-58-58-59-61-65-62-58-63-57-67-79-x
January 10, 20241 yr Author One point ahead of Miley surprisingly is Libiancas people. I didn’t realise this was so widely disliked but 90% of her votes were negative :o Quite a gap between 8 and 7, Harry has -15 points. Imo as it was isn’t a bad song I just really dislike it due to how overplayed it is. I forgot how long it sticking around in the top 10 after it’s reset!
January 10, 20241 yr People is so dull, shocked it made the EOY top 10 actually even with the advantage of being available for the whole of 2023.
January 10, 20241 yr Completely get how some would see 'People' as uninteresting but I like the lyrics and sentiment and that overshadows the lack of interesting production imo.
