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 14th anniversary now, however I have now decided to pass on the hosting of the competition to...

 

... 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 2024 will be eligible. There are 54 such titles now that Myles Smith has climbed into this week's top ten.

 

Last year P!nk won very convincingly with 'Trustfall', scoring 301 points a near-hundred point margin ahead of Kylie who placed second and the sleeper hit from Stephen Sanchez which placed third.

 

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).

Had to include an old Christmas song because I completely ran out of other songs I even vaguely liked.

Edited January 19Jan 19 by My...Tuppence!!

Not a particularly strong group from my perspective, could have given as many -2s as there are songs I wanted to give +ve points to!
