Round 2: Year End Survivor #122
Stuntmasterz - for me a quite clunky mash-up in a time when mash-up culture was fresh and exciting. Friday Hill is far better. The two non-Kenzie members of Friday Hill went on to form Mojam, a Grammy award-winning songwriting and production duo who worked with Naughty Boy, Professor Green and Emeli Sandé. So Blazin' Squad's existence wasn't all bad.

The Pop Factor: Season 1 • The Grand Final: Part One
I was never really into Dirrty despite Stripped being one of my all-time top 10 albums oops. I didn't get round to buying it until I heard Beautiful. Love all of the other choices, that's a great pick for Mary J (again).

Wimbledon 2025
Amazing form from Sinner today, stunning quality, as Alcaraz wasn't playing badly for most of it at all. Some of the shots both managed to get in at times were incredible. A deserved win though for Sinner. I can't understand how Dimitrov played so well against someone that has looked so dominant in every other game he's played in this tournament. I guess Sinner just found his game hard to read and/or was having a slight off day.

The Pop Factor: Season 1 • Popped!
Shame to see Louise out, she was on a good run, but it's hard to see what song could have been picked next. The only realistic alternatives were a track from a recent album or Lil' Lou (which I love but doubt it would have got much traction either). CHVRCHES did pretty well but not sad to see them out 6th. Great to see PSB through and hope they are dark horses for the winner. You could basically pick almost anything from 1985-1993 from them and it would get through, they were that good. I'm less sure about their chances with post-1993 material although I love so much of it personally.

Wimbledon 2025
That was a very sad final to watch, felt very bad for Anisimova - I guess the body crumbles under pressure sometimes. But never thought I’d witness a double bagel in a Wimbledon final ever. I only had one hour free to watch yesterday between 4 and 5 and I didn’t expect to be able to see the entire match. She had been so strong on the run up to the final. Swiatek was so ruthless though, class player, at her best she is way better than Sabalenka for me so I hope she gets back to No.1.

KT Tunstall
Yes, it’s such a beautiful song. Made even better by KT on the piano. I really like her song Clueless from the musical of the same name, which she wrote the music for, tempted to see that show mainly for the songs. It’s very classic KT, with a 00s pop sound.

KT Tunstall
Glad you got to see her, I love Llangollen, what a great setting for that. She’s so great, she also played that title track in London last month at her Royal Albert Hall show. Apparently it’s coming out as part of an anniversary edition of the album to be released in October with a couple of other unreleased tracks. It’s a really beautiful song, I’m so glad she finished it. She played an absolutely insane gig on her 50th birthday - probably the best gig I’ve seen in years. I have a newfound appreciation for a few of the songs on the debut album I never loved as much as the rest of the album back in the day, like Silent Sea (always liked it but it was a clear highlight live and I’ve had it on non stop since) and Stoppin’ The Love. Heal Away was also gorgeous but I’ve always loved that. It reaffirmed the album as one of my all-time favourites. She brought on Melanie C, Jools Holland, Rick Astley, Natalie Imbruglia and Jools Holland during that evening to perform with her too, it was mad.

The BuzzJack Friday Chart Show Thread: 11th July 2025
Not Flopizam gold and nearly 50 places higher than Eyes Closed was on its 14th week, with another song by Ed still in the top ten. A true failure. Yasss at Acquiesce charting, one of my favourite Oasis songs - I'm very surprised it outsold/streamed Don't Look Back In Anger and Live Forever (and Wonderwall) but here for it. One of their greats, along with The Masterplan of songs that hadn't previously charted.

RESULTS • Buzzfestivalen 2025 • Andra Chansen
Voted. I like seven songs here so did have to make one sad cut, but left with a top six I really enjoy, hope lots of them are among the last finalists.

RESULTS • Buzzfestivalen 2025 • Andra Chansen
Can we get a Golden Wagner for this though? Or as Melodifestivalen like to call it, a 'Sofia - Alla' wildcard through to the final? The fact this didn't go further due to a dire draw is criminal.

It's the grand dame. The Mandy cover was a stain on modern music.

Buzzfestivalen 2025 • Semi-Final 4
Oops, although I didn’t expect to Q. It was a bit of a curio. A HudMo remix of a piece from Starlight Express but at least it got the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber into BJSC. Thank you to the voters! Congrats blacksquare and Cody, both great tracks - some good songs through in the second chance too! Thanks for hosting this one Rob!

-
Buzzfestivalen 2025 • Semi-Final 2
Taste! Love the two qualifiers, probably my two favourites overall.
-
Buzzfestivalen 2025 • Semi-Final 2
Shocked for Taahino, thought it would be top five - a big pop song! Molly last also surprising considering her BJSC past form.

Hoping to see Skall, Hendinia and Altyr go further! Very POP semi though so can’t be sure for Skall - hope it didn’t fly under the radar.
