Link: http://acharts.us/song/1600 We all knew how popular the song was. But, I did not realise that it was going to be THAT huge! 13 weeks at number 1 in Austria, 14 weeks in Germany and Switzerland and 15 weeks in France! I mean, that is really long for a song to be at the top of the charts. It did well in the UK as well, peaking at number 3.

The third poll is over. And there were 44 votes made in the third poll. Here are the results - as of 11:55pm, October 2 - NOT TAKING ANYMORE VOTES AFTERWARDS AS ROUND ROBIN 3/20 IS CLOSED (Purple denotes being safe, Red denotes being eliminated): It reads like this: Placings. Artist - Song - Votes/Points awarded (chart run) - total points 1st. Rihanna - Umbrella - 11 votes/5 points (1-1) - 10 points (total) 2nd. Girls Aloud - Sexy! No No No - 8 votes/4 points (2) - 4 points (total) 3rd. Groove Amarda f/ Mutya Buena - Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control) - 6 votes/3 points (3) - 3 points (total) 4th. Robyn with Kleerup - With Every Heartbeat - 5 votes/2 points (2-2-4) - 10 points (total) 5th= Alex Guadino f/ Crystal Waters - Destination Calabria - 7 votes/1 point (3-5e) - 4 points (total) 5th= Beyonce f/ Shakira - Beautiful Liar - 4 votes/1 point (1-5-5e) - 7 points (total) 7th.

Biffy Clyro - Folding Stars - 1 vote/eliminated (no runs) - 0 point (total) (big thanks to JoÑn¥ for the name correction) 10th. Hard-Fi - Suburban Knights - 0 vote :o /eliminated (no runs) - 0 point (total) So, because there are two songs who have the same amount of votes to be in the 5th place, I have decided to put BOTH songs in the next round. So, in this game, five new songs will be added as normal (making it ELEVEN in total - for this round robin only), but SIX songs will be eliminated - should there be a clear Top 5 (which it will, I hope). So, new songs this week (big thanks to Jack for the nominations): JoJo - Too Little Too Late Timbaland - The Way I Are Kelis - Lil' Star Nelly Furtado - Say It Right Gwen Stefani - 4 in the Morning Songs still in the game, and in the semi-finals consideration: 1= Robyn with Kleerup - With Every Heartbeat (2-2-4/10 points) 1= Rihanna - Umbrella (1-1/10 points) 3. Beyonce f/ Shakira - Beautiful Liar (1-5-5e/7 points) 4= Alex Guadino f/ Crystal Waters - Destination Calabria (3-5e/4 points) 4= Girls Aloud - Sexy! No No No (2/4 points) 6. Groove Amarda f/ Mutya Buena - Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control) (3/3 points) Songs eliminated, but still in the semi-finals consideration (because they have been in the Top 5): 1. Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent (5-3-7/4 points) 2. Kate Nash - Foundations (3-6e/3 points) 3. Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own (4-6e/2 points) Songs eliminated, failing to get in the Top 5 altogether - NOT qualified for the semi-finals consideration (with placings/Round Robin that the song was in): Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate (6th/RR1) Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough (7th/RR1) David Guetta - Love is Gone (7th/RR1) Feist - 1234 (8th/RR2) Travis - Closer (8th/RR3) The Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet (9th/RR1) The Enemy - Away From Here (9th/RR2) Amy Mcdonald - Mr Rock & Roll (9th/RR2) Biffy Clyro - Folding Stars (9th/RR3) Kasabian - Me Plus One (10th/RR1) Hard-Fi - Surburban Knights (10th/RR3) Also, feel free to nominate any songs which are not on the list.

Link: http://www.heatworld.com/Article.aspx?arti...t+in+38+seconds! Now, this is where I start to wonder: How is 38 seconds possible? Even through the power of internet it seems impossible. It must be an exaggeration. I mean the arena has tens of thousands of seats!

I heard that the song In God's Hands was going to be released in the UK about a couple of months ago, but I don't think I've seen it in the Top 75. Also, can't remember when it was released either. So, anyone know if it charted? If not, did it make the Top 200 anyways?

1. Sugababes are number 1 solely on downloads (making them the fourth artist ever to do so - after Gnarls Barkley, Mika and Rihanna), big jump from 35-1 (is it the second or third highest jump to No. 1 within Top 75?, let me know). 2. NONE of the HSM2 songs are in the Top 20. Last year, Breaking Free made it to number 9. 3. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars: STILL in the UK Top 75 at number 75! It's their 56th week in the charts. Anything else?

Note: This is Round Robin 3/20 (The poll sub-heading said 2/20, but it's actually 3/20 - as said in forum post title and poll title). The second poll is over. Of the 64 votes (as of 11:00pm, September 29 - NOT TAKING ANYMORE VOTES AFTERWARDS AS ROUND ROBIN 2/20 IS CLOSED): Here are the results (Purple denotes songs being safe, Red denotes the songs which are eliminated): It reads like this: Placings.

No No No Billy Clyro - Folding Stars And, to summarise the competition so far: Songs still in the game, and in the semi-finals consideration: 1.

How did you retrieve the sales data? Just wondering.

For official rules: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50760 So, the first poll is over. With 64 votes, here are the official results (as of 11:59pm, September 25 - NOT TAKING ANYMORE VOTES AFTERWARDS AS ROUND ROBIN 1/20 IS CLOSED): These 5 songs will stay in the game: 1st. Beyonce f/ Shakira - Beautiful Liar - 15 votes (5 points) 2nd. Robyn with Kleerup - With Every Heartbeat - 14 votes (4 points) 3rd. Kate Nash - Foundations - 9 votes (3 points) 4th. Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own - 7 votes (2 points) 5th. Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent - 6 votes (1 point) These 5 songs are eliminated: 6th. Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate - 4 votes 7th= Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough - 3 votes 7th= David Guetta - Love is Gone - 3 votes 9th. The Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet - 2 votes 10th. Kasabian - Me Plus One - 1 vote Some extra note (in case of an "emergency"): - Should any song(s) "retire" because they have been in the Top 5 for five times, the songs in the 6th place (then, 7th - depending on the number of songs retired) will be in the next poll as a replacement. Plus, that song in the 6th place who is replacing the song that is "retired" will get 1 point. Just to make sure. Anyways, new songs this week: Rihanna - Umbrella Feist - 1234 Alex Guadino f/ Crystal Waters - Destination Calabria The Enemy - Away From Here Amy Mcdonald - Mr Rock & Roll Also, feel free to nominate any songs which are not on the list. OK now, VOTE!

Here's how it goes. It may sound strange, but it will work (I hope). Every Sunday and Wednesday, I put up ten songs on the list. Just like Soundclash and TRL, you vote for your favourite. The Top 5 most voted will remain in the poll, whilst the lower half (6th-10th) will be eliminated. This will continue on until November 28 (The final round robin) - which totals to 20 round robins. Here are further rules for this Round Robin: 1. If the song you see is not on the list, feel free to nominate a song or two and I might put it on on the next stack. 2. The song(s) you nominate MUST be released in 2007. 3. Once the song is out of the Top 5 (or is eliminated), it cannot re-enter. 4. If the song is in the Top 5, it will be rewarded points based on placings (eg. 1st = 5 pts, 2nd = 4pts etc.) 6th-10th will get 0. 5. So that the "favourites" won't drag on the round robin too much, a song in the Top 5 can be in the Top 5 for five times maximum. Then, it will be "retired" until the semi-finals. After 20 Round Robins, this is what will happen in Semi-finals (November 29 - December 3 (poll round) December 4 - 9 (semi-finals)): 1. All the songs which have been in the Top 5 (current, former and "retired") will automatically be considered for the semi-finals (this will give fair advantages to the songs in the later RRs). 2. The 10 songs which have gained the most points during the Round Robin will automatically be qualified for semi-finals. Others will compete in a poll round where the Top 10 most voted will advance to semi-finals. 3. These two groups will then merge, which will make 20 songs in total. The Top 10 most voted from there will go to the Finals. At the Finals (December 10 - 16): The Top 10 will then compete and the song with the most votes will be named the "Track of the Year". OK, so hopefully this will work alright. I really hope the rules made sense. It's my first time doing this kind of thing, so go easy on it. So, vote and if your song is not on the poll, nominate and I might put it there on Wednesday. So, which song is the "Track of the Year"? VOTE (AND NOMINATE)! p.s. - I am doing this for fun, so don't go all hating and stuff. p.s. 2 - This poll is to find out the Track of the Year, so this game is not indefinite, obviously. p.s. 3 - The 10 songs that I have chosen for Round Robin 1/20 is based on the songs that I thought of from my head.
