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 2025 will be eligible. 87 titles are therefore eligible for competition. The top 40 or so voted titles (depending on ties) by this time next week will qualify to the voting round of the competition. Simply nominate as many songs in the below list as you like by reposting the list below with the songs you don't wish to nominate removed.
