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. ;)

 

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 2024 will be eligible. 82 titles are therefore eligible for competition. The top 40-50 voted titles (depending on ties) by this time next week will qualify to the voting round of the competition. Simply vote for as many songs in the above poll as you like.
