What a classique. I'm good was amazing on release but now I'm quite fed up with it to be honest. Too many samples last year!Both Becky tracks are good efforts, I did prefer Run a fair bit though even if it's the more 'generic' single. Yes absolutely for RUTH - was great to see it do so well. There does seem to be an over abundance of sampling and covering at the moment but if a song's a bop then it's a bop. thanks James ~Â Giving Forever & Always a listen now (mostly as I didn't realise Owl City had more music out this year!) - the beat is great (wasn''t expecting the song to drop like that!) and of course Owl City sounds great.glad you enjoy it! I guess you've also heard his brand new track that came out yesterday too then? thanks Pete ~
January 7, 20232 yr I adore I'm Good (Blue), way more than I expected to. Bebe sounds so good and the production is so fun! Running Up That Hill is of course a classic too, loved hearing it in the chart last year :heart:

It is therefore the second-highest UK top 40 hit in this rundown (and third-highest UK top 100 hit). It marks the breakthrough for Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal who were complete unknowns to me (and most of us) beforehand. Another track to jump on the sample train, making heavy use of 'Let the Beat Hit Em's instrumental hook, it was nonetheless a very refreshing take on garage-house in the production and assisted by a wonderfully quirky vocal from Eliza. We can only hope when the follow-up eventually comes she can deliver another bop. Top 100 Chart History Eliza Rose 2022 04 B.O.T.A.

This wasn't reliant on a piano and string hook, however it had a lush string backing and otherwise soothing instrumental - making for a great melodic deep house track. It's the type of thing Nora excels at really and what's allowed her to rack up a huge number of hits over the years.

So erm, this is a bit awkward. I recently learned that as it turns out their lead singer has been jailed for a rather serious crime :mellow: so they deleted all their music videos and social media accounts, and have presumably split. However the chart is fully determined by points and I did enjoy the song a fair bit, it was also one of my BJSC entries of the year having discovered it through the Spotify algorithm. Top 100 Chart History Memorist 2022 04 The Empiric +++ #27 John Summit ~ Human [feat.

Already having proved himself to be one of the biggest DJs of the moment he brought out his most hit-ready single to date in 'Human', although despite some low-level support it couldn't have any level of chart impact. Having peaked at the tail end of last year, it continued to hit well into 2022 to comfortably out-perform all his other releases of the year. Still keeping with John's tight tech house beats but with a more commercial appeal was always going to be big with me anyhow. Top 100 Chart History John Summit 2020 11 Deep End 2020 18 Thin Line (with Guz) 2021 12 Make Me Feel 2021 49 Better Than This (vs. Parachute Youth) 2021 65 Witch Doctor (feat.

It doesn't change a whole lot from the original, although it wasn't a song I was very familiar with to begin.

It is yet another sampling in this rundown here with the song being a re-imagining of Bettye LaVette's 1960s recording 'Let Me Down Easy'. I wasn't expecting much from it given that they'd only ever made one minor chart appearance for me outside of Bronson, but it managed to be a truly excellent electronic track, very intricately produced.

For the last couple of years now Le Youth has associated himself with Lane 8's record label and specialises in melodic house, which especially seems to have been a good career move for him for my own personal taste.

It was another big summer smash, having managed three weeks at #2 behind LF System (who are still to come and thus confirmed as my favourite UK hit of the year). The track was of course heavily sampling not one but two 90s dance classics in 'The Bomb' and 'Gypsy Woman' which is sure one way to get easy nostalgia points. But alas, the song is a massive bop. It became the biggest hit yet for Brazilian DJ Alok, whose usual style doesn't do all that much for me but clearly knows how to... take the main credit for an idea Never Dull had then bump him down to the feature credit. :kink: Although to be fair, the song was re-jigged a fair bit from the original 'Gypsy In My Mind' bootleg to give it a bit more oomph. Then of course we have Ella Eyre giving a power vocal, reminding us why she's great on a dance track.

After the huge hit 'Pump It Up' it was assumed fairly unlikely that Brighton based DJ Endor would go on to surpass its success in my chart, however he did just that. It was also very much assisted by the choice of vocal sample, taking the same one that Croatia Squad used for 'Ven Pa Ca' (a year-end top 10 hit in 2019) - essentially for me acting as a tech house remix of that song, with a very tight groove and bass. Top 100 Chart History Endor 2014 16 In Reality 2018 70 Gunna Be Mine 2019 15 Pump It Up 2020 82 Fur 2021 90 Beat 2022 07 El Cuervo 2020 48 Zigazigahhhh +++ #14 Craig Connelly ~ Little Mystery [feat.

The song has all the makings of a trance classic, with enough of a runtime for it to properly develop into a big sounding anthem.

It comes from Mr. Belt & Wezol, a Dutch house duo who have been active since 2014 when their debut single 'Shiver' shot up to #1. They've only had two top 10 hits since, both peaking at #10, however 'Broken Moonlight' now becomes their biggest overall hit having spent the first half of the year in the chart. It isn't in their typical future house style however with this track being a bit more CamelPhat inspired - taking the production elements that made their commercial tracks really work. Also accompanied by a vocal from Yasmin Jane who further sets the dark tone of the track. Here's hoping they do another like this in 2023. Top 100 Chart History Mr. Belt & Wezol 2014 01 Shiver 2014 13 Feel So Good 2014 37 Pikachu (with Oliver Heldens) 2015 10 Finally 2015 33 Somebody To Love (with Freejak) 2016 15 Faith (with Daser) 2017 23 One More Day (with Aevion) 2018 28 Let's All Chant 2018 22 Stupid (feat.

German-born composer Aukai first released 'Cloudline' in 2016, with it being remixed five years on by German electronic producer Parra for Cuva. This song like most of Aukai's music prominently features the Ronroco, an Argentinian plucked stringed instrument, which sounds beautiful. Originally an ambient/electronic piece, Parra for Cuva gave it an extra uplift with an organic house beat and a few additional pads to perfectly compliment Aukai's playing. It therefore became his biggest hit, after having reached the top 40 twice before. Aukai is yet to reach the chart again but had just recently released an album which I ought to give a listen. Top 100 Chart History Aukai 2021 10 Cloudline [Parra for Cuva Reimagination] MILLIONAIRE Parra for Cuva 2014 27 Wicked Games (feat.

It's a bit more on the low-key side of the genre sonically mostly to make room for an emotional vocal. There's no big synth breakdown but it's made up for by being a really well written song and having a beautiful atmosphere. A song that really tug on my heart strings which made it instantly a big #1 eventually lasting for 9 weeks at the top, the longest runner of the year. It was also somehow my *worst* performing BJSC entry this year which I still don't really get, even with it being minimal.Becoming one of a very small handful of songs to reach the year-end top 10 twice we have 'Where You Are', although never reaching the weekly top 10 in this tracking year the song just refused to get old for the entire first half of the year.

After having scraped a chart position with 'Dancing Cliché' earlier in the year, there wasn't exactly any hype for a follow-up from Scottish duo LF System, but then this fell on my radar and became an instant hit, before taking a hike to #1 as it took off in the UK chart. Sampling the little-known 70s song 'I Can't Stop' by Silk, it turned it into a standout disco-house track, with lots of energy all throughout alongside well-timed tempo shifts. Definitely a great choice of track to pluck out of obscurity too with its big vocal hook, bassline and piano additions - altogether making for a timeless sounding house track. So far one follow-up has been released which was very much a B-rate version of this, not lasting too long after breaking in the top 20 from week 1 hype. Top 100 Chart History LF System 2022 90 Dancing Cliché 2022 01 Afraid To Feel MILLIONAIRE 2022 12 Hungry (For Love) +++

'What Have You Done To Me?' was also another BJSC entry of mine in the year. It's a very well structured melodic house track with the first third focusing on the lovely vocals of Arctic Lake before going into two distinct drop sections. The intensity variations throughout really help to make the track stand out as well, it's a real top effort on the production here making it worthy of it being Lane 8's biggest hit yet. Top 100 Chart History Lane 8 2014 18 Every Night 2020 15 The Flood (feat.

[31+ weeks] Video c_QK2U8Zb1g The top track for Grum now, after having had 'Afterglow' reach the year-end top five in 2020, he does it again with 'Don't Look Down' - both tracks with Natalie Shay on vocals. Likewise this is a big synthy progressive track, and a natural successor to their previous #1 stylistically. Assisted by its 80s synthpop influence, tension build and release and a great vocal performance - this was a track that once it had enough listens to grow on me proper it remained fresh for the rest of the year and beyond - it's now back in my top 10 from the year-end boost. Even if 'Look to the Light' ultimately proved to be stronger this remains a real triumph for Grum and would have made a worthy BJSC entry if 'Light' wasn't put out. Top 100 Chart History Grum 2014 20 Heartbeats 2014 25 The Touch 2014 43 Straight To Your Heart 2017 76 Price Of Love 2019 13 Tomorrow (feat.

It was my introduction to French production trio Bon Entendeur, who put the track out in April 2021 although I only discovered it after Sofiane Pamart remixed a Worakls song and I checked his Spotify page for other releases. French composer Sofiane of course provided the main selling factor of the piece, providing the piano composition and performance to go with the light dance backing. It is a very beautiful and intricate piece, so much so that I ended up learning to play it myself which certainly helped it hold up in the chart post-contest. I would certainly love to hear him appear on more dance tracks although his piano solos album this year was a great listen too. Top 100 Chart History Bon Entendeur 2021 01 Alba [feat.

January 11, 20232 yr glad you enjoy it! I guess you've also heard his brand new track that came out yesterday too then? thanks Pete ~ I saw it had been released but still need to give it a listen! Just reminding myself of Alba now - sounding very nice, I recognise it but enjoying it a lot now isolated from any other songs! The chilled-out vibe and sprinkle of Latin instruments work very well together.

Redondo previously made the year-end #3 with 'Love Too Deep' in 2014, but this year out-do themselves. It's a perfect update of the 70s track, keeping its infectious groove and giving it the speed and production uplift it needs to work as a modern club track. They also cleverly chose to save the original song's hook for the final section which helped keep the song interesting for many listens. It sounded great all throughout the spring and summer giving it a very lengthy chart run, but was ultimately stuck with a #2 peak by what would end up as the year-end #1. Top 100 Chart History Redondo 2014 01 Love Too Deep (Ferreck Dawn & Redondo) MILLIONAIRE 2015 02 Something Else (Ferreck Dawn & Redondo) 2015 09 Every Single Piece (with Bolier feat.

After 'Love Tonight' reached #2 in last year's chart, I was intrigued for what would come next, and ultimately that was another amazing record. Having entered straight in at #1 it held on for ten weeks which was the longest for any #1 this decade so far. The song is thematically similar to their previous hit, with once again use of the choir for vocals, plus another great sax interlude – however very much standing out as its own piece. It is particularly great in its full length version (used in the music video) with the song being given more time to progress, and with the top quality of the vocals and tight production it doesn't drag whatsoever. I certainly won't be forgetting Shouse, let's hope they don't forget to put out another top tune in 2023... Top 100 Chart History Shouse 2021 05 Love Tonight MILLIONAIRE 2022 01 Won't Forget You MILLIONAIRE +++

January 13, 20232 yr Reminding myself of Won't Forget You now (as now I'm hearing it I've definitely heard it this year!), it's a prett nice song and a strong follow-up to Love Tonight - it seems to take what that had and put it in a new 'body' sort-of! So I can see why you've chosen it as your chart-topper. Thanks for doing this EOY again Dan, I've enjoyed following along!

January 14, 20232 yr Author I saw it had been released but still need to give it a listen! Just reminding myself of Alba now - sounding very nice, I recognise it but enjoying it a lot now isolated from any other songs! The chilled-out vibe and sprinkle of Latin instruments work very well together. Reminding myself of Won't Forget You now (as now I'm hearing it I've definitely heard it this year!), it's a prett nice song and a strong follow-up to Love Tonight - it seems to take what that had and put it in a new 'body' sort-of!
