It is an odd choice but I think Tom Grennan will feel bigger to young people.

It's just occurred to me that not all B-sides and album tracks may be available on Youtube so you'll have to bear this in mind when entering!

Tagging those who entered last time to inform them that this is open: @jimwatts @King Rollo @Cody @Addy! @Scene @gooddelta @CowTzy @Julian_ @Jester @uhsting @Chez Wombat @Tafty @Dobbo @Herbs @awardinary @roba @Brer @Jade

Welcome to the latest song contest hosted in the 21st Century Throwback forum. I present you... Bop Idol 3! Seen as I somehow managed to win the previous edition of the contest (my first time ever winning any Buzzjack song contest) it fell to me, as rules dictate, to host the next edition. I've never hosted anything of this nature before so I would appreciate your patience for any inevitable shortcomings! So, on to the theme for this contest, which I deliberated long and hard about, flitting between a few different ideas I was toying with - but I finally came up with one that (just about) met with approval from the mods: Pop B-Sides and Deep Cuts! I'm from a generation that avidly collected CD singles, in no small part due to the B-sides or bonus tracks that were often included on them. Sometimes the B-sides were better than the A-sides. Then there are the deep cuts, hidden gems buried away on albums which were crying out to be released as a single but were ultimately left consigned to remain undiscovered by the general public. So what we're looking for here are songs released from 2000 onwards which were either a B-side/bonus track on a single, or an album track, but not released as a single in any territory. Genre wise we're looking for pop, but this can be anything from pop/rock to dance pop to bubblegum pop or anything in between. As long as it vaguely fits the broad spectrum of pop, that's fine. Here is your smallprint: 1. Only songs from the year 2000 or later are allowed. 2. The song must not have been released as a single in any major territory. 4. The song must not have been entered into the previous Bop Idol song contest. 5. The song must not have been a top 20 hit in another song contest on the site. However, any song that has previously been entered into these contests may still be vetoed, especially if recent. 6. Any other song that we feel is at an unfair advantage (e.g. well-known on the forum) will still be vetoed at host / mod discretion. 7. As this is a Throwback forum, it is encouraged, but not required, that entries are from a nostalgic time period, ideally up to 2015, however, anything released later may still be acceptable. 8. Artists may have no more than one entry per contest, so first come first served. This is an anonymous song contest, so no revealing or hinting at your entry please! The confirmation window will be open for a full week, so you have until 23:59 GMT on Sunday 16th Monday 17th March 2025 to submit your entry. Entries must be confirmed using the dedicated Google Form - please do not PM me - the link to the form is below: ENTER HERE: https://forms.gle/s4y1mue5LHk32u2eA Any questions or queries, please PM me. I look forward to hearing some undiscovered gems!

Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh!

I don't understand why people thought Abracadabra could climb to #1 with the release of the album, it's not quite THAT big.

I will if I remember!

Hey Seltin! The Sabrina song is growing on me, it's better than 'Bed Chem' at least! 'Born Again' isn't anything amazing but it's nice enough and should do alright here. Pretty much the same for Tate Ava's song is a total bop though Thanks!

Did she? I heard a bit of 'It Girl', don't remember FUFN!

I've just realised what the melody to 'Vanish Into You' reminds me of - it's Kylie's 'Every Day Is Christmas'!

It's a shame she didn't (or maybe wasn't allowed to) include a little bit of FUFN as part of her Brits performance!

Excited for new Sugababes, I loved the Lost Tapes album, even if the subsequent 'When The Rain Comes' didn't quite hit the mark for me!

Siuetta rather than Sieutta surely?

This sounded good on first listen the other day - no doubt I'll be hearing it more as it looks set to blow up!

Charted at #3 in the end, shame it became their first album to miss #1, but not too surprising as it was also their lowest opening sales.

Hi Sergej! Great number one, and it looks like she's finally about to get her first UK number one too! Lots of new entries by someone called Leony but unfortunately I don't know who that is 😕 My favourite new entry is the Benson Boone one, that's such a great song and good to hear something upbeat from him. I hope it becomes a big hit! Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' is good too and it's great to see him get a long overdue hit, even if I wish it was one of his last couple of singles that had smashed instead. Nice chart 😉

Radio X Playlist | as at 07/03/25 * Fontaines D.C. - It's Amazing To Be Young [1] Gigi Perez - Sailor Song [15] Inhaler - A Question Of You [3] Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine [23] Mumford & Sons - Rushmere [7] Sam Fender - Arm's Length [7] Sam Fender - People Watching [14] * Sam Fender - Little Bit Closer [1] Stereophonics - There's Always Gonna Be Something [6] The Kooks - Never Knew [4] The Lathums - Heartbreaker [3] The Wombats - Can't Say No [6] OUT: Doves - Cold Dreaming [5] Fontaines D.C. - Bug [6] Franz Ferdinand - Night Or Day [8] The Cure - All I Ever Am [4] Not sure why they need three Sam Fender songs on the playlist at the same time but there you go.

Got to be Ghost, what a song!

Gaga all the way!!

Thanks Sergej, glad to see there's lots you like in my chart this week 🙂

Well this is rather good! Best thing Guetta's released for a while 😃

On the Lady Gaga debate, I for one am quite happy that the new songs sound like her early stuff - so far I've heard 'Vanish Into You' and 'Garden Of Eden' and both are brilliant, particularly the former! Big catchy choruses, that's what's missing from pop these days. Really looking forward to hearing the rest of the album shortly, hopefully it's just as good as those songs.

He wants to try using some punctuation 🤭

Jeez that's a lot of Teddy 😐 you'd think they'd have the sense to only playlist one song per artist concurrently!
