#28. Let's Go (feat. Ne-Yo)
Rate score: 6.95/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, Jase, SamJudd, Jester) Lowest rate score: 2/10 (SevenSeize) 2014 rate position: 16th of 21 Year of release: 2012 Album: 18 Months UK Chart position: #2 YouTube views: 77.3m Spotify streams: 89.4m Released to follow-up 'We Found Love' over 6 months later, the wait for a new single was worth it as he delivered another banger and got a big chart hit with it too (a #2 hit naturally). Another standard but solid tune. #27. The Girls Rate score: 6.97/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Jade, HarryEzra, SamJudd) Lowest rate score: 2/10 (cqmerqn, Bjork) 2014 rate position: 13th of 21 Year of release: 2007 Album: I Created Disco UK Chart position: #3 YouTube views: 8.5m Spotify streams: 7.3m Way back to his second ever single now, this one followed 'Acceptable' into the top 10 instantly and then became his first top 3 hit. This came back in his electro pop era which sounds vastly different to what he would go on to release. A bit novelty, but still a bop. |

The Girls was what drew me to Calvin initially, after seeing the video on TV randomly once. Still a huge bop!

#26. Blame (feat. John Newman)
Rate score: 6.99/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, Dobbo, Jase, Joe, Dexton) Lowest rate score: -1/10 (cqmerqn, Chez Wombat) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2014 Album: 18 Months UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 700.0m Spotify streams: 446.7m Released after the 'Summer' this became his third song in a row to enter straight in at #1 and also gave Sir John Newman another #1 to his large collection. Not one of my personal faves of his but I gave it a 7/10 which is near enough to its actual rate average so this is an appropriate position for it. #25. Flashback (feat. Ayah Marar) Rate score: 7.05/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (Juan Carlos) Lowest rate score: 1/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: 8th of 21 Year of release: 2009 Album: Ready For The Weekend UK Chart position: #18 YouTube views: 19.5m Spotify streams: 23.4m This song can now really be called a 'Flashback' as it now approaches its ninth birthday. It seems to be held in high regard by a few but mostly got scores of 6 and 7. I gave it a 6 as it's one of his singles I am least familiar with and it doesn't hold much replay value in my view. |

#24. Thinking About You (feat. Ayah Marar)
Rate score: 7.09/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (BridgeCow, Jack) Lowest rate score: 4/10 (blacksquare) 2014 rate position: 9th Year of release: 2012 Album: 18 Months UK Chart position: #8 YouTube views: 71.2m Spotify streams: 107.0m The two Ayah Marar features are once again back to back but it is this that makes it on top which it should be. Released as the final single from '18 Months' it broke him the record for most top 10 hits from a single studio album until Ed Sheeran came along which was very impressive. Another great tune from him too. #23. Eat Sleep Rave Repeat (Calvin Harris Remix) (Fatboy Slim & Riva Starr feat. Beardyman) Rate score: 7.19/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (cqmerqn) Lowest rate score: 2/10 (Josh) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2013 Album: N/A UK Chart position: #3 YouTube views: 7.7m Spotify streams: 10.0m Marking the return to the chart for Fatboy Slim, Calvin Harris helped turn this club hit into a chart smash giving it some big room house beats. The song was a bit of a meme too which limited its shelf life but does surprisingly well for itself in this rate. |

#22. In My Arms (Kylie Minogue)
Rate score: 7.25/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (SamJudd, Jester) Lowest rate score: 0/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2007 Album: X UK Chart position: #10 YouTube views: 17.2m Spotify streams: 5.9m Following his successful album 'I Created Disco' he had the opportunity to produce for Kylie Minogue which resulted in this #10 hit single, one of Kylie's best. #21. I Will Never Let You Down (Rita Ora) Rate score: 7.30/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, Jase, SamJudd, Dexton) Lowest rate score: 0/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2014 Album: N/A UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 149.8m Spotify streams: 100.4m Another production credit drops out now, and this one was another #1 for Rita Ora and Calvin as a producer, planned for her 2nd album before the project was scrapped due to label issues and Calvin's break-up. It is a bit too pop focused for my loving, I was hoping for something a bit more dancey, but it's not bad and it seems to be a fan favourite for Rita so it missing the top 20 comes as a bit of a surprise. +++ Top 20 will be revealed in the next few days. Here are the songs that made it. Acceptable In The 80s Bounce (feat. Kelis) Call My Name (Cheryl) Dance Wiv Me (with Dizzee Rascal & Chrom3) Feel So Close Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean) How Deep Is Your Love (with Disciples feat. Ina Wroldsen) I Need Your Love (feat. Ellie Goulding) I'm Not Alone Only The Horses (Scissor Sisters) Outside (feat. Ellie Goulding) Pray To God (feat. HAIM) Ready For the Weekend (feat. Mary Pearce) Slide (feat. Frank Ocean & Migos) Spectrum (Say My Name) (Calvin Harris Remix) (Florence + The Machine) Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch) This Is What You Came For (feat. Rihanna) Under Control (with Alesso feat. Hurts) We Found Love (with Rihanna) Where Have You Been (Rihanna) |

A perfect top 5 for me would be:
1 Under Control We Found Love Sweet Nothing How Deep Is Your Love 5 Slide Ellie Goulding actually sounds decent with Calvin on production, but I Need Your Love is dated and much inferior to Outside |

QUOTE(Joe. @ Feb 27 2018, 02:25 PM)  I wouldn't rule Pray To God out of the top 5 I think that was his personal opinion rather than a prediction. Any predictions are welcome though, I think there'll be a few surprises! |

Oh no I know, sorry it was just a train of thought! I'd say Pray to God, How Deep is Your Love, Your Not Alone, We Found Love and Sweet Nothing for the top 5? (Not in that order). Possibly Spectrum instead of one of those... |

"Flashback" is still my favourite song from him. It never gets old for me to be honest. I wish it would have done better, but I guess it was great to see in the middle of this ratedown.
 As a side note, he needs to collaborate again with Ayah Marar. The songs he has done with her ("Let Me Know", "Flashback" and "Thinking About You") are really good. |

Oh yeah that's just what I would put in my Top 5
 Pray To God is nice but it's not something I go back to (at all) compared to his other stuff. I actually skipped over Spectrum when I did a top 5 then though, would be about equal to Sweet Nothing for me (Florence Welch is just amazing isn't she?)

'In My Arms' would have gotten my 11 obvs, but of his own stuff it has to be 'Feel So Close'. He can't top that.

#20. Only The Horses (Scissor Sisters)
Rate score: 7.35/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (SamJudd, Joe, dandy*) Lowest rate score: 1.5/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2012 Album: Magic Hour UK Chart position: #12 YouTube views: 11.5m Spotify streams: 12.4m Taken as the lead-off single from 'Magic Hour', it is still their most recent chart hit to date as they are yet to follow up the era. The Calvin production is not as lively as I'd have liked it to been, and that lets it down a bit here, but it was a good send off for them if indeed we'll never see them in the charts again. #19. This Is What You Came For (feat. Rihanna) Rate score: 7.53/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, danG, BridgeCow, Josh, cqmerqn, Jase, HarryEzra, SamJudd, Stu1985) Lowest rate score: -1/10 (SevenSeize) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2016 Album: N/A UK Chart position: #2 YouTube views: 1936.3m Spotify streams: 787.9m Surprisingly we get a Rihanna collab dropping out already, and the first to face the chop is the massive 'This Is What You Came For', which became one of the defining songs of the summer of 2016 and also became his biggest ever YouTube and Spotify hit (though still behind 'We Found Love' in sales). It got a lot of love including from myself, but SevenSeize had to ruin it with a -1, though it wouldn't have made the top 10 anyway. |

#18. Call My Name (Cheryl)
Rate score: 7.55/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, Josh, cqmerqn, SamJudd) Lowest rate score: 3/10 (SevenSeize, dandy*) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2012 Album: A Million Lights UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 51.6m Spotify streams: 11.0m This was the first single Cheryl released after dropping the Cole from her stage name, and with her star status plus a full-on banging Calvin Harris production it was going to debut nowhere other than #1. It's held up rather well too in my opinion. #17. Where Have You Been (Rihanna) Rate score: 7.55/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Joe, Stu1985) Lowest rate score: -1/10 (Jade) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2011 Album: Talk That Talk UK Chart position: #6 YouTube views: 443.9m Spotify streams: 148.6m Another Rihanna single out and this time for 'Where Have You Been', which Calvin produced alongside Dr. Luke and Cirkut. It was released as the 4th single from 'Talk That Talk' and became the second top 10 hit of that era, with both of those having the Calvin touch. It's another great addition to his production discography and one of my favourite Rihanna songs also. Could 'We Found Love' surprise and also miss the top 10 in this rundown then? |

#16. Ready For the Weekend (feat. Mary Pearce)
Rate score: 7.55/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, gavindeejay, SamJudd, Dexton) Lowest rate score: 3/10 (dandy*) 2014 rate position: 14th of 21 Year of release: 2009 Album: Ready For The Weekend UK Chart position: #3 YouTube views: 5.5m Spotify streams: 12.7m Calvin got his disco glasses back on for 'Ready For the Weekend', the title track of his 2nd album, which followed his first solo #1 'I'm Not Alone'. It's a fun listen, but hasn't aged as well as a whole lot of other Calvin tracks due to its novelty nature (similar to 'The Girls'). #15. Dance Wiv Me (with Dizzee Rascal & Chrom3) Rate score: 7.69/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, SevenSeize, Jade, PeteFromLeeds) Lowest rate score: 0/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: 10th of 21 Year of release: 2008 Album: Tongue 'n' Cheek / Ready For The Weekend UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 5.8m Spotify streams: 26.6m Getting Calvin his first #1 as a producer and featured artist was Dizzee's massive single 'Dance Wiv Me', which saw Dizzee embrace commercial dance rap pop and do a great job of it. It's rather good but I don't consider it as a proper Calvin highlight. |

#14. I Need Your Love (feat. Ellie Goulding)
Rate score: 7.80/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, cqmerqn, Bjork, HarryEzra, SamJudd) Lowest rate score: 5/10 (blacksquare, Stu1985) 2014 rate position: 17th of 21 Year of release: 2012 Album: 18 Months UK Chart position: #4 YouTube views: 715.7m Spotify streams: 256.2m Released as the second post-album single following 'Drinking', this easily became another top five hit for Calvin and also gave Ellie's career a boost though she was already very popular at this point too. '18 Months' is my favourite era of his and just like nearly the rest of the album this is a standout track. It improves from its surprisingly low 17th finish from last time this was run. #13. Under Control (with Alesso feat. Hurts) Rate score: 7.83/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (Dexton) Lowest rate score: 4/10 (dandy*) 2014 rate position: 12th of 21 Year of release: 2013 Album: Motion / Forever UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 200.7m Spotify streams: 222.3m Released as the lead single from 'Motion', 'Under Control' made its way to the top of the chart but thanks to perfect timing of the release more than anything. Nonetheless it's another great banger from Calvin, also helped by Alesso's trademark progressive house style, way before he sold out to tropical pop. It also gave Hurts an unexpected hit 3 years after their only other top 40 chart hit 'Wonderful Life'. |
