Results for the previous round see Katy Perry win for a second time! Katy Perry - Firework [ 20 ] [57.14%] Cee-Lo Green - Forget You [ 15 ] [42.86%] A song that has been mentioned before but has not been up yet (I don't think anyway!) is Tinie Tempah ft.

Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (Amazing) Just gotta say - LOVIN the new rules (although maybe 10-6-4-2-1, bridge the gap a slightly more for a REALLY hated song)

So What's My Name proves not to have the same domination Only Girl did, as it loses out to Katy Perry's Firework (although not so many voted this time) Rihanna ft. Drake - What's My Name [ 11 ] [36.67%] Katy Perry - Firework [ 19 ] [63.33%] Katy's first challenger will be Cee-Lo Green - Forget You VOTE AWAY!!

Could Mike Posner PLEASE stop breathing so much in his song!! No need for it!! Ruins a song!

Pretty much, hardly any new releases, christmas songs dropping right out so you expect re-entries and climbers

Looks like you spoke too soon lol, highest RE!

Rihanna wins for the second time, and being on the role that she's been on, it's possible to get another 10 wins, however she has to overcome Katy Perry first This time of year always means lack of new songs, so some will be repeated. Results: Rihanna ft. Drake - What's My Name [ 32 ] [66.67%] Cheryl Cole - The Flood [ 16 ] [33.33%] Next challenger, Katy Perry - Firework VOTE AWAY

Is anyone else noticing that Christmas songs are peaking lower and lower as the years go by? :(

I think i may agree, I think Rihanna is definitely the 'big' artist around right now! (it DID lose out to OGITW tho)

So Rihanna defeats Olly Murs with What's My Name - Could she do another 9 wins and have another retired song?? Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me [ 13 ] [31.71%] Rihanna ft. Drake - What's My Name [ 28 ] [68.29%] Next challenger is Cheryl Cole - The Flood VOTE AWAY

Matt Cardle didn't last long as Olly Murs gets a decisive win! Matt Cardle - When We Collide [ 10 ] [25.64%] Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me [ 29 ] [74.36%] Next up to challenge - Rihanna dt. Drake with What's My Name VOTE AWAY!!

So after Rihanna retires undefeated, Matt Cardle wins the first battle between two fresh songs! Matt Cardle - When We Collide [ 23 ] [67.65%] Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) [ 11 ] [32.35%] Next challenger for Matt, another X-Factorite, Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me! Who will win this time?? GET VOTING!!

Lol, nah, not much of a rap/hip hop fan really, I don't really know the ins and outs of how that side of music works. I won't knock his rapping skills (not a fan of it, but can't deny he's good at it!) but if you look at an act like Eminem, he's a rapper who never sings but the majority of his tracks are solo pieces. Having said that, and I'm contradicting myself a bit here, Eminem has recently started to collaborate more, I guess it's just the way the music business is changing over time.

Just wondering, does Tinie Tempah do ANY tracks on his own or does he have to collaborate with others to make himself successful?? I can't think of one track he's done as a solo (apart from Pass Out which although uncredited, had Labrinth helping him out!)

So Rihanna wins for the 10th time meaning Only Girl retires undefeated. Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) [ 28 ] [59.57%] Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (Amazing) [ 19 ] [40.43%] So now for something different, really the lesser of 2 evils, Matt Cardle vs. Black Eyed Peas!! VOTE AWAY!!

Great idea!!

YAY! I came last!! (although I did only enter 1 game!) Maybe next year I'll have a better track record!

Once again Rihanna wins, for the 9th time now, so if she wins again I will start with 2 fresh songs next time, rule being when a song wins 10 times it retires undefeated (also,I, like many of you feel, it is getting rather dull having the same song win EVERY time!) Anyway, the official results are as follows: Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) [ 33 ] [66.00%] Katy B ft. Ms Dynamite - Lights On [ 17 ] [34.00%] One more outing for Rihanna, this time against a song that is past its peak in the charts, however was suggested last time and I had been thinking about it myself... Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (Amazing) Can Rihanna hold on for a 10th time and retire undefeated, or will Bruno Mars end her run?? GET VOTING!!

Still got a few hours left, but it seems like OGITW is going to win AGAIN!!! So, I'm going to wait for 10 wins then start again as I am also getting fed up seeing it win all the time!
