To be fair, having listened to some of the entries, classing them as songs is still a bit of a stretch

I think it's snappy, vintage and memorable so it will stick! Not sure @dandy* @King Rollo or @Jester would be happy to change it though!

I'd rather enter the worst contests than the best ones

More silly ideas, just for the craic (and coz I'm currently distracting myself), not looking to enforce change:

Don't You Forget About Me

The Vinyl Countdown

The Winner Takes It Y'All

Retro Active

Love this one!

Some more:

20th Century Joy

Now That's What I Call Retro

... BuzzJack One More Time

Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and Friends

Buzz School Musical 🤣

I remember there used to be talk of doing a 'worst songs' BJSC spin-off. Not sure how much I like the idea in itself but I had the perfect song for it lmao and it has since been removed from YouTube 😔 It was called 'Less is More' (apt!) and even the video was ridiculous. It had some likeability though as it was catchy, it just sounded so generic and off 😆

I suggested that once, an inverse contest where the song with the fewest points is the winner, clossest to zero! :D

20th Century Joy

This is my favourite out of all the ideas! Very clear, to the point and likeable. Songs from the 20th century that bring people joy! (Not that I can figure out what the pun is )

T-Rex - 20th Cenutry Boy was the intended pun there!

I was on there too, and Regina was on my shortlist to send.

But I've always had in mind to send this specific song by The Cardigans to something or other and it felt a perfect fit.

Aside, ahem from the fact, that it very much is not a 'bop'. But then a few other songs in the lineup aren't either.

Haha I did say to Herbs that I thought Regina was him and if not, it was you!!

Surely you'd need to find the most boring song to score the fewest points. So it could end up being quite a dull listen if everyone was doing that.

I've never purposefully tried to come last in any contest, but if I did I'd probably look for a dull b-side by some D-tier 90s boyband or something, rather than something actually 'bad', because something that sparks any kind of emotion in someone will often score points.

Can we do that for BJSC?! My qualifying rate would dramatically increase!

Actually, I think it’s harder to finish purposely last than to finish first. If you ban the ballads which, from what I can see here, don’t really do that well anyway the contest could become more interesting. But either way, it’s not like I really care for it to happen, it just seems fun and experimental in my head.

Agree, it's extremey difficult to score zero. In BJSC it happened twice in 20 years in the semis, and never in a final.

In a forum with such diverse tastes, somebody is always likely to enjoy a song enough to have it in their top 10/15.

A few days ago I accidentally got this achievement in some game hahah.

So It could also be something like a special badge on buzzjack if you finish with zero points 😂
