289. Sugababes - Wear My Kiss - underrated bop

#286 is definitely one of the best overlooked pop songs of the decade, it was in my top 1000 too though a few hundred places lower down
#285 would be my fave of that section anyhow and I don't usually like Miley.

^ Yeah I think 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart' is my favourite so far too wub.gif other highlights include 'The Story Of Us' (underrated Taylor song, sounds quite Paramore-esque), 'Dancing Makes Us Brave' (glad you introduced me to them via BJSC with 'Dilute This' <3), 'Roar', 'Talking Body' and 'Wear My Kiss' (Heidi's iconic star jumps in the video *.* I was obsessed with this when it came out, hasn't aged brilliantly but still a guilty pleasure)

Stand By You was SO much better than Fight Song for me, actually completely changed my opinion of Rachel so a real shame that missed the Official Chart sad.gif Nothing Breaks Like a Heart and Carry You Home are my other favourites so far!

Yasss glad it made it at least, it's so good <3 I'm surprised just how much I've gone back to it over the past couple years tho, in my EOY chart it was like 90th haha so it's def held up well!
It's such a good song <3 ngl I much prefer Miley's output last decade than this decade oops, she only has one more entry here and that's coming up in the next section oops x

The Story Of Us is such a banger, I hear that *.*
ahh glad you stan them cos of that *.* I used to prefer Dilute This but DMUB is by far my favourite nowadays
Omg I was so obsessed with Wear My Kiss when it came out, 9 year old me bopped to it 24/7. One of the last CD singles I bought </3 I don't rly go back to it much nowadays also but yeah it's def a guilty pleasure *.* and Queen Heidi *.*

I prefer Fight Song by a lot haha, that'll be popping up here much later!! Stand By You deserved so much better tho so I'm with you on that sad.gif That entire album deserved so much more, one of my faves this decade

(some format switch-ups and I've included my EOY positions from my charts from 2014 onwards, so you can see how songs have held up for me x)

261-280



261. Olly Murs - You Don't Know Love (EOY: 33)
262. WALK THE MOON - One Foot (EOY: 65 / 201)
263. Lauren Daigle - You Say (EOY: 77)
264. Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman (EOY: 43)
265. Charlene Soraia - Wherever You Will Go
266. Diana Vickers - My Wicked Heart
267. The Saturdays - Ego
268. Little Mix - Secret Love Song (EOY: 12)
269. Rihanna & Eminem - Love The Way You Lie Part 2
270. Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Time

271. David Guetta & Sia - She Wolf
272. Timbaland & Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again
273. Bebe Rexha - Meant To Be (EOY: 20)
274. Jessie J - Do It Like A Dude
275. Alexandra Stan - Mr Saxobeat
276. Kate Nash - Do Wah Do
277. Paloma Faith - Picking Up The Pieces
278. Liam Payne & Rita Ora - For You (EOY: 15)
279. GIRLI - Day Month Second (EOY: 37)
280. Miley Cyrus - Malibu (EOY: 14)

Let's have a quick commentary:
Of the older hits we have
- Charlene's gorgeous cover that stomps on the original
- Diana's iconic enunciation and def not a rip off of Under The Bridge. Once/The Boy Who Murdered Love used to be my Diana faves but MWH wins out at the end of the decade
- Saturdays banger Ego (which verges on just being in this decade) & more bangers in Good Time, Mr Saxobeat, Do Wah Do and She Wolf (the latter being better than titanium x)
- the superior part 2 of LTWYL, tho this would've been a lot higher a few years ago. I'm a bit bored of it nowadays
- another early 2010 hit with If We Ever Meet Again, acc aged so well and still a banger
- Jessie J's iconic breakthrough single that still pops off
- Picking Up The Pieces which never used to be a Paloma fave of mine but has wormed it's way up there, with some of her songs going the other way for me oops (Can't Rely On You only just missed my top 10 EOY in 2014 and it doesn't make my top 300 here is one example x)
- Final appearances for: Charlie Soraia, Diana Vickers, Owl City, Alexandra Stan, Kate Nash, David Guetta (ohmy.gif), Eminem, Timbaland.


Of the newer hits:
- well if we're going by what we'd expect from EOY, we'd be looking at songs that finished around 27/28 to be here, and none are really close
- Of the ones that decreased we have: Little Mix's ballad Secret Love Song which I still love but just don't go back to that much anymore, the Queen of country crossover hit, For You which still bangs but kinda already got a bit tired of by the end of 2018 and Miley again with Malibu
Of the ones that improved we have
- Olly Murs delivering the best song of his career in ages with a song that deserved so much better in the charts
- GIRLI proving that I'm not just here for ironically (So you think... still f***ing slaps and low-key nearly made it here) with the fab break-up f***-you banger Day Month Second (Listen to it if you don't know it!!)
- Dangerous Woman solidifying itself as an Ari fave of mine
- One Foot is a banger of life and easily the best thing WTM did, this deserved to be a real life hit
- You Say is utterly gorgeous and still has a strong impression on me with me returning to it a lot in 2019, glad it was a big hit in America <3

- Final appearances for: Jason Derulo, Liam Payne, Miley Cyrus, Olly Murs, GIRLI, Walk The Moon, Lauren Daigle

One Foot, Do Wah Do and Wherever You Will Go *.* Is that not Charlene's final appearance? I've never heard another song of hers so I'm interested if she has another song here!

Major lol at Nicki having only one appearance at #296, poor flop laugh.gif

You Say is such a beautiful song wub.gif It would have been brilliant for it to get the exposure here that it did over in America. Mr Saxobeat is a fabulous pop-dance tune as well!

Giving Day Month Second a listen now, wasn't expecting an electro song! Quite enjoying it biggrin.gif
