Posted Friday at 19:235 days We would firstly like to thank @Jade for her beautiful dreamy pop theme in the 16th outing of PFSC, which I managed to win on my birthday <3 with Swimming Lessons by Camp Claude.Thanks to this we have the opportunity to host for the first time, and for the 17th edition of the contest, we invite you to Take 'Em To The Chorus (inspired by the classic callout by Timbaland on Justin Timberlake's Sexyback).What we are looking for here is POP with a big chorus please. Other than that the song can go off in any direction, but we insist that the chorus is a focal point of the track - melodic and with a clear change up from the verse/bridge. There may even be a key change in there but that is not compulsory!Here are the rules:Any song entered must not have reached the Top 100 in the Official UK Chart, and you cannot submit any song by any artist in the UK top 40 during the confirmations periodAny song entered must not have reached the Top 20 in another song contest on BuzzJackAny artist entered must not have an Artist Forum (Club) on BuzzJackAny song considered to have an unfair advantage over other songs or that may fall under veto rules widely used on BuzzJack may be vetoedAny artist entered is entitled to one entry per contest; this will be on a first come, first served basisAnd for this edition only:THIS MUST BE...POP! Please do make sure your entry is as pop as possible this time - mods may veto anything that they feel isn't pop enough (or, indeed, has no chorus, as that is the point!)If you have any questions, do let me know!Once you have chosen your entry, please PM me (gooddelta) with the following information:Artist:Song Title:Link (YouTube or alternative):The deadline for confirmations is Sunday 24th August 2025 23:59 BSTConfirmed:gooddeltauhstingJonjojimwattsAllStarBySmashMouthRobaWoW73AwardinaryTravisJulian_AddyCowTzyVibeSceneCody PiastriChez WombatLindseyLewwWhoOddyseyHerbsCameronRiserDobboAnselMango(25) Edited 8 hours ago8 hr by gooddelta
Friday at 19:425 days Confirmed my entry.We are going to be harsher than ever when it comes to the genre of the song btw! So make sure it's POP!!
Friday at 19:435 days Do I send it here now?Not trying to give hints but I'm thinking of saving it for PFSC Special (Best Of) 2025 if it will happen again. Edited Friday at 19:455 days by AllStarBySmashMouth

Friday at 22:475 days The currently ongoing contests really said no to the alt bloc (fair, shall just have to sniff out some melodies xx)
Saturday at 21:224 days okay I sent something as a “what the hell sure” moment but if I find something better in my grab bag or if it’s already taken then I’ll go for that
Saturday at 22:164 days Entered a song I'm hoping fits enough! It has such a great build to the chorus, it's got that dramatic movie soundtrack feel to it imo - I have a backup if needed but it doesn't quite hit the same 😅
Sunday at 21:053 days Interesting theme! Presumably there's no particular decade or time period the song should have been released in?
Sunday at 22:563 days Author Yeah, any time period is absolutely fine as long as it meets the other criteria!
Tuesday at 20:441 day Author Just a quick update to thank everyone so much for the entries submitted so far. I've listened to them coming in and people have really got the brief, some brilliant stuff <3We're on 21 entries so far which is amazing at this point and much appreciated! Do keep them coming, it would be great to have a BIG turnout to hear these BIG choruses. You have still got until the end of Sunday to confirm however.
Tuesday at 23:561 day I've got a few options I'm considering for this, just need to make my final selection!
