#033. Avicii ~ Lonely Together (feat. Rita Ora)
I might hate myself tomorrow but I'm on my way tonight

Label: Avicii Music AB/Universal Music AB
Album: Avīci (01) - EP

Date entered: 18/08/17

Commentary

Is it too early to call this a modern-day musical masterpiece? Maybe, but it's already got the record for most weeks spent in my top 3 and the joint-record for most at #1 (12 so far). It's also a very strong contender for my EOY #1 for 2018 (I'm calling it now), everything about it is just brilliant. Perhaps surprisingly it debuted only at #3, behind two other Avicii tracks, but it just kept growing and now it's definitely my favourite of the EP. It once again demonstrates Avicii's ability to remain relevant without losing his touch, and rightfully became his biggest UK hit in years. We can't ignore Rita though, as her pitchy vocals add a lot to this track too and I'd say this song was responsible for reigniting my interest in her too, after the disappointing 'Your Song'. Avicii giving us the huge comeback I had been waiting for all year (and all of 2016 too) was my favourite musical moment of 2017 though, and this is up there with his best.

Great songs all around wub.gif I thought Lonely Together would be higher, but your cut-off is earlier than an actual calendar year tongue.gif

#032. Charli XCX ~ 3am (Pull Up) (feat. MØ)
you say you're sorry but you're lonely



Genre: Electronic pop
Label: Asylum Records
Album: Number 1 Angel

Date entered: 24/03/17
Chart sales: 1,032,400
Chart run: 80-22-21-22-22-18-16-23-31-24-25-30-32-36-43-55-52-69-74-96-93-88-83-84-71-64-57-59-64-67-86-x [31 weeks]

Commentary

Charli's solo material had been very hit and miss, mostly miss, so this following 'After the Afterparty' was a very welcome surprise, and with it being hidden away on a mixtape (which Charli seems to be doing instead of proper album releases now) I almost didn't even hear it. It's a brilliant pop song though and really the type of thing we should be seeing more of in general but the A. G. Cook sound (he didn't produce this track but it's got his influence) isn't deemed commercial enough yet. It sounds so fresh and refused to age for many weeks which really helped it here, easily making my top 40 of the year despite its #16 peak. Her new one with Tove Lo and ALMA is starting to work its way up my chart now too so perhaps we could see Charli here again for 2018.

#031. Aly & Fila meets Roger Shah and Susana ~ Unbreakable
siento fuerza y libertad, si contigo puedo estar



Genre: Trance
Label: Future Sound Of Egypt
Album: non-album single

Date entered: 09/12/16
Chart sales: 1,034,900

Commentary

Another BJSC entry now and also the lowest #1 with a full chart run here (though Bassjackers/KSHMR 'Extreme' would still be lower with its full run), we'll start seeing more of these as we get higher in the chart. It was our first entry of 2017 and finished just outside the top 30 in the final, just as it does now in my EOY chart. It's a very energetic and uplifting trance song from Egyptian duo Aly & Fila (the only Egyptian act to have a #1 single in my chart, and probably the only to ever chart at all) alongside German producer Roger Shah and Dutch singer Susana... so it only makes sense that the song is sung in... Spanish! Don't let the English language title fool you, I was surprised too but the vocals really stood out to me here, and the euphoria rush that is the drop. It spent four weeks at #1 here, although the song at #2, 'You Don't Know Me' by Jax Jones, will appear much later on in the chart! It's a strong number one contender so stay tuned.

#030. ALMA ~ Chasing Highs
we're doing it in slow motion



Genre: Dance-pop/tropical pop
Label: PME Records
Album: TBA(?)

Date entered: 21/04/17
Chart sales: 1,036,700

Commentary

Following her breakthrough single with Felix Jaehn, ALMA spends a second year in the year-end top 40 as 'Chasing Highs' grew into her biggest solo hit, eventually peaking at #21 but out-doing every other single that missed my top 20 this year. It was also her first UK hit, and hopefully not only but that looks likely. Her great unique voice powers through the song, over the tropical dance-pop production which actually sounds very fresh, and that isn't easy when tropical pop reached saturation point in 2017. It took a while to grow but it's just got an extra something to it that her other solo tracks don't.

All of them are great songs, especially "Rockabye" and "Came Here For Love"!

Lonely Together would be a lot higher if December was taken into account too (or if I still based it on personal opinion alone), at least it has the whole of 2018 to rack up chart points though. tongue.gif
Million sellers = 100 plays. Millionaires = less than 100 plays but still have a million 'chart sales' by my calculations (or estimations).

It was never going to be really but we had some false hope with it popping up in the Spotify chart.

It would be if I didn't base it on chart sales, I imagine it will be higher in my year-end list next year anyway though!

#029. Just Us ~ Cloudbusting
everytime it rains, you're here in my head



Genre: House/dance-pop
Label: Parlophone Records
Album: non-album single

Date entered: 17/02/17
Chart sales: 1,040,600
Chart run: 2-2-6-2-2-3-2-2-3-4-4-5-9-14-26-34-37-42-47-71-87-82-x [22 weeks]

Music video deleted and the audio video is unlisted, boo at the label trying to forget this happened already drama.gif

Commentary

In February of last year we finally got the long-awaited 'Cloudbusting', a Kate Bush re-working by US production duo Just Us originally put out as a bootleg entitled 'Everytime It Rains' which got a bit of Radio 1 airplay. Surprisingly though it did not manage to enter straight in at #1, as it went head-to-head with another big song which was released that week - namely 'Saving Light', more on that later. Though I was initially disappointed that it wasn't the same version as the bootleg, I quickly got used to the addition of the original Kate Bush verses (though of course, they couldn't license her actual vocals and had to use a soundalike). It was a huge banger and surely big hit in the waiting? Oh yeah, it didn't chart at all, other than scraping the ever-irrelevant sales chart top 40. But this is a great version, bringing the song right up to date without making it sound generic. It appears that Just Us will be a total one hit wonder though as follow-up single 'Flirtatious' was quite awful and they've not done anything else since.

So glad Chasing Highs did so well officially, here's to hoping she puts out something else just as good that makes a Top 40 impact wink.gif

This seemed to rise from nowhere into one of the biggest hits of the year, and at a time when French Montana had seemingly become long forgotten about he made this 'unforgettable' tune. basil.gif Though it's really Swae Lee who steals the song here with him getting over half of it. His echoey vocals are great though and I really enjoy the vibe of the song. French's rapping is give or take really but he doesn't detract from the song, its great production really sells it though, who doesn't love a bit of steel drums (or whatever that actually is idk), and a f*cking good time never hurt nobody.

Commentary

You may remember Mike Mago & Dragonette for their minor hit 'Outlines', well in 2016 they released their second collaboration 'Secret Stash' which to my surprise was... even better. Quickly jumping into the top 10 it only managed four weeks there before the Christmas takeout and never fully recovered but it had amazing top 40 longevity. The xylophone sounding synth used in the buildup and drop is particularly excellent, and Ms Dragonette's vocal once again works well on a dance track (although they've only ever charted three times, all their chart entries have appeared in my year-end lists). It's a shame this never got half as much attention as their previous but that doesn't stop it from doing well in this countdown.

Surprisingly Mark Knight hadn't made any chart impact for me before this year but when he released club anthem 'Yebisah' that was of course going to get a lot of love here. It's a full-on house instrumental with a simple piano riff but it's all executed perfectly. It took a while but eventually spent nine weeks in the top 10. If you love a bangin' choon take a listen.

Yeah this song just refused to get old for a long while leading to a mammoth chart run including another re-appearance in the top 10, which puts it well inside this year's Hot 40 when it missed out at #45 last year. Such a banger. Still yet to have another tune of his chart tho ohmy.gif

Commentary

I was very excited to see Duke Dumont and Gorgon City were to collab on a new single as both of their styles mix together well, and they certainly did not disappoint. Introducing singer NAATIONS they brought out a proper bop which got a lot of love in the dance forum and even managed to become an official top 40 hit. A real return to form for both artists production wise, and I'd say it's my absolute favourite of Gorgon City's. More of these plz.

#024. Jax Jones ~ Instruction (feat. Demi Lovato and Stefflon Don)
bitch I don't need introduction



Genre: House
Label: Universal Music/Polydor
Album: non-album single

Date entered: 23/06/17
Chart sales: 1,165,300

Commentary

From Duke Dumont to Jax Jones, and who'd have thought that Jax Jones would go on to be even bigger than Duke when 'I Got U' came out? 'Instruction' was of course the follow-up to the huge hit 'You Don't Know Me', still to come in this countdown, and the song instantly went to #1 just from the excitement of having another Jax single before being knocked off two weeks later by Calvin Harris. Which also means we have the odd statistic of Demi Lovato being one of the few people to have a single enter at #1, despite her being one of my least favourite singers. It's fair to say she doesn't ruin this song at all though (as I feared) with her sassy vocals fitting the song's vibe, and the lack of screeching that made 'Sorry Not Sorry' my least favourite hit single of the year. The Stefflon verse is great too and the unique production from Jax really makes this song so infectious. To date it is his only #1 as follow-up 'Breathe' has so far only managed to peak at #4, though at its current rate it looks likely to make the 2018 EOY so this should be another great year for him.

So glad Chasing Highs did so well officially, here's to hoping she puts out something else just as good that makes a Top 40 impact wink.gif
Seems unlikely now sadly, she killed all her momentum with 'Phases' drama.gif

Yes I was very pleased it managed to break her through even if she's unlikely to have another hit now.
Yebisah is amazing!

It had a massive chart run! #26 doesn't do it justice for how much I love it but it was stuck between years.
I seemed to be the only one here who really loved it, not sure how but it just really clicked for me.

thanks guys!~

#023. Kygo and Selena Gomez ~ It Ain't Me
who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?



Genre: Tropical house
Label: Sony Music Entertainment/Ultra Records
Album: Stargazing EP/Kids In Love

Date entered: 17/02/17
Chart sales: 1,167,300

Commentary

Not too long after the 'Cloud Nine' album we got the return of Kygo and with one of his best songs yet, his second-best performing song on my chart after 'Firestone'. Being a collab with Selena Gomez it could have easily been a sub-par release but Kygo stayed true to his sound and the song really stood out. Tropical house may be starting to get stale as a genre but Kygo who popularised it of course knows how to do it well (although subsequent releases haven't been quite as good). With an immensely catchy hook, great use of chopped up vocals and brilliant production, this unsurprisingly was a massive hit worldwide and in my chart. It also gives Selena at long last an entry in my EOY Hot 100, having been absent for the last 7 years of her career.
