Posted Tuesday at 23:381 day THE GROUPS EARTH AUDITIONSBefore Pop Fleet 26 can take off in the spacecraft to search the stars for Lady BuzzJack, we have been informed there are weight restrictions on board, and unfortunately each spacecraft - beyond personnel - can only hold a maximum of 12 additional people. As a result, our artists must sing for their lives in an attempt to board else they'll be left behind on Earth. It's time to welcome all of the groups to the stage as they audition for you, the voting BuzzJack public!How it works:Once you have listened to all of the artists perform you should post a ranking of each of the performances. You can rank them from best to worst (making clear which is your favourite down to least favourite), or use the template below:01 (favourite)020304050607080910111213 (least favourite)For those voting who have entered one of the artists into the competition, you should rank all thirteen performances in your own category (however it's encouraged that you vote for your soon-to-be competitors too), and when totalling up scores your entry will be removed from the list to retain anonymity in the competition.As always, even if you are not competing in The Pop Factor you can vote too!When voting closes, the twelve groups with the highest scores will proceed to the next round while ONE of the groups will be eliminated from the competition and will not be going through.Voting will close on Monday 9 February 2026, 17:59 GMTSo let's meet our artists and hear what they've decided to perform for their EARTH AUDITION...01020304050607080910111213Standard list of entries:The Chicks - Goodbye EarlScissor Sisters - I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’The 1975 - It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)A1 - Same Old Brand New YouGirlicious - Like MeAce of Base - All That She WantsErasure - Drama!HAIM - ForeverAtomic Kitten - The Tide is HighThe Corrs - BreathlessFlorence + the Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)Blondie - MariaABBA - As Good As New
Tuesday at 23:561 day Ace Of Base and the Scissors going in early with their bangers!! That's a very odd song choice from Abba when they have countless better known songs I'm pretty sure I already know what my favourite of these is gonna be but I will listen first to the ones I don't know!
Yesterday at 00:051 day What a list, Ace Of Base and the Scissors sending absolute bops and The Corrs sending a good offering too.Very intrigued to hear the ABBA song.
Yesterday at 00:071 day Any chance someone could put together a playlist on Spotify? I wouldn't ask Calum as he's done a lot already.
Yesterday at 00:081 day Florence would have been my #1 choice for an act that I think has the potential to win… and whoever did choose them has gone for exactly the song I would have chosen first too

Yesterday at 00:151 day The way Girlicious is genuinely my fave song here lmfaoI'll rate properly soon!
Yesterday at 00:241 day I'm so excited to see who chose Girlicious and to see more representation for them. Hoping 'Maniac' gets it's rightful moment!
Yesterday at 00:281 day A deep cut for ABBA! This will be educational for me. A1 beginning with that banger.
Yesterday at 00:481 day Not ABBA being the one here with the most hits, and yet having one of the most unknown songs (at least to me) in this round!!!
Yesterday at 00:571 day Wise choice from ABBA really, if you bare in mind there’s 13 rounds to go. You only have to be not last and with a back catalogue like theirs, there’s still endless well known gems.I say this having not heard it either but I highly doubt it’ll come 13th is all I’m saying
19 hours ago19 hr In all comps a mix of hits and lesser known songs which will make it fun! Great work Callum!
18 hours ago18 hr Giving the playlist a ,listen now and there’s been a few pleasant surprises so far.
17 hours ago17 hr I think this is the most competitive of the three auditions which I wouldn’t have expected!
