Brer

please no

We have exactly 40 entries at the moment so that currently works out well - if anyone is still sitting on a last minute entry you can still submit it but I can't guarantee it'll get in as we'd need to jump to 44 per the format of the contest x

I think the first week was a little bit stronger overall but I actually added one more song to my playlist from this week (21 to last week's 20). Blondie - Atomic David Bowie - Alabama Song The Jam - Going Underground John Foxx - No-One Driving Martha And The Muffins - Echo Beach 3 songs I knew extremely well already and 2 discoveries here - always good to expand my knowledge of Bowie's discog and this is a brilliantly leftfield track from him, sounded like it could have been taken off a black midi album. And John Foxx is 2 for 2 on great songs now, just looked up some spoilers and I see he has 2 more songs to come although both also landing in the 31-40 range, poor guy - very much looking forward to seeing if they keep up the quality of the first two. 'Echo Beach' is my overall fave of the week, never gets old x Stiff Little Fingers and Rush were my next favourite discoveries of the week, and The Vapors and Siouxsie And The Banshees just missing out as my next fave songs I knew already (albeit I don't think I knew the latter was a Siouxsie And The Banshees song).

I don't think this was ever going to go any other way

To be fair beyond the first couple of days not many songs are going to be showing consistent big drops from day to day (or if they were they'd quickly fall out of the top 200 entirely), the point is that it's been consistently dropping quite a bit from where it was at the same point in the previous week, which has been a consistent downward trend so far. Debatable whether or not that dropoff can be called 'dropping off a cliff' but you're not really comparing the same thing.

I found something else. If this one is taken too I'm sending Honey G - Hit You WITH The Honey G and you'll all deal with it xx edit: looks like this one was fine but you should all relisten to this masterpiece anyway

Ok mine was taken already so I'm back to having nothing oop

Ooh I thought of something. Now let me hope no one else had the same idea already. Confirmed x (Did you set the fields on the form to appear in a random order? )

Must admit I'm finding it a bit difficult to find inspiration for an entry here but I'll get something in by tomorrow x

1 Ellie Goulding - Figure 8 2 CHVRCHES - Bury It (feat. Hayley Williams) 3 Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia 4 Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip 5 a-ha - I've Been Losing You 6 Louise - 2 Faced 7 Mary J. Blige - Just Fine 8 Christina Aguilera - Infatuation 9 The Saturdays - Notorious 10 Little Mix - Oops (feat. Charlie Puth)

Oop. Well hopefully it should function as intended for anyone who confirms from now on x I'll just delete the first Cheiron submission from the response form. Anyway, hooray for finally having another edition of this after a 4 year gap! And after that whole time I still don't have an entry in mind particularly ddd so will have to brainstorm x (16 out of 18 entries so far being recycled artists lel)

Whoops I forgot to turn on the settings to allow response editing / limit to 1 response. Now fixed, what does it show when you click on the form now? Curious if it retroactively picks up one of your previous submissions and if so which one x

Afraid you're not allowed to do this - Louise to be disqualified immediately x

Louise actually got through? Rigged, I demand to see the results xxx I did wonder what would happen if there was a tie for the win, yay for CHVRCHES getting to make it through as well, 'How Not To Drown' was easily my fave from the Golden Wagner round and it's another good pick for them in this round, hopefully more to come <3 gave my other two coins to Elton John and Damiano David ('Mars' was way better than all his previous songs from this for me, good to know his solo album produced at least one song that's somewhat on par with Måneskin's discog), SASAMI just missing out, also want to acknowledge that the WALK THE MOON and ENHYPEN songs were pretty good discoveries as well. I was thinking 'Beg For You' was another pretty curious choice for Rina oops, I do quite like it but like... it's not even her song and I don't think it's that highly regarded on BuzzJack as far as Charli songs go! I think 'XS' would have walked a spot in the final but alas x

Here's my playlist which I am going to try and keep updated with all my faves per week (going to playlist anything that I'd rate 7.5/10 or higher, which is a nice round 20 songs for this first week, including both sides of the Amii Stewart double A). My top 5: Amii Stewart - Paradise Bird Azymuth - Jazz Carnival The Buggles - The Plastic Age John Foxx - Underpass Michael Jackson - Rock With You

Interesting theme choice! I've sent a song from an Italian X Factor act to BJSC before (In The Loop), so would have had that in the back pocket if I'd just left it as a potential after discovering it x

If 'Victory Lap' goes top 10 that'll be the second top 10 hit for Skepta nearly 13 years after his first! (I think we've had a thread about such long gaps before but not sure how to go about finding it x). Feels wrong that he's only had one before, and of all things it was just a feature on a long forgotten Wiley song.

I'll be storming onto the stage for the live shows with a pineapple on my head x

Sovarasma is not a different country x

At least a couple dozen people on this website (including me) definitely did know it in 2020 because it was sent to the BuzzJack Song Contest shortly after its original release x

I'll try and remember to vote in the later round(s) but I'm not going to have time to vote in this now (I didn't even notice this had started ngl oops), I always find these first rounds of 'vote for 30 songs out of a list of hundreds' quite intimidating anyway lol

Oops I did not realise the deadline for this was as soon as today, I assumed it was Tuesday again I don't have time to listen to all the songs as I have to go out at 5pm but I will quickly listen to the ones I don't already know, I guess the full ranking isn't so important if we're only voting for 3 songs x

🐁

Samples Mazzy Star's 'Into Dust' - heard this on Radio 1 the other day, it's a nice rework x

Not last yasss
