It's that time of the year again. Here is the one rate to decide which song that missed the top 10 really should've peaked there. ;) Back for its 13th anniversary now and with a brand new host...

 

... just kidding it's me again. :D

 

Here is how it works. Any song that entered in the top 20, but failed to reach the top 10, for the first time in 2022 will be eligible. A bump in the number of hits this year sees 63 entries in play this year so we will go back to using the 18 point voting format.

 

Last year Ava Max won for a second year running with a little assistance from Tiësto. She sadly won't make it five years running in the top three however as she failed to have any hits in 2023.

 

Simply rank your top 15 favourites like this (or at least 8 if you're struggling)

+18

+15

+13

+12

+11

+10

+09

+08

+07

+06

+05

+04

+03

+02

+01

 

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 10 smash! :D and will join the hall of honorary UK top tens (listed at the end of the post), which now includes back-dated honorary top 10s from the 21st century having ran retrospective contests in the 2000s forum (see the forum for previous results).
