Let's try to do again. It's my second Year-End chart after this list.

http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=204875

Check it, if you didn't see it before.

My old system with 14 national singles charts, which I used for the previous chart don't work in the streaming era. It's the same, mostly weak songs everywhere.

So I don't have any constant good music sources now and possibly missed some good songs from 2017 year.

# 38. Man-Go - Gali Nebegrizti

Una's "The Waiting Game" is my favourite album from the last 5 years. Sadly "Angel Like You" wasn't a single and illegal for my chart.

# 26 - # 30:

# 26. Melissa Naschenweng - Net Mit Mir

# 27. Katrine Lukins - Silhouette (NF - Latvia)

# 28. Inga Valinskiene - Gele

# 29. Steps - Story Of A Heart

# 30. Man-Go - Sustabdykim Laika

Probably I'm only the one big Steps fan, who don't like any other songs from "Tears On The Dancefloor" and prefer Kerry Ellis' cover version.

"Story Of A Heart" is the most popular song from my chart, but was peaked only at # 74 in UK. It's the same result with "Stay My Love". Three songs were more successful in UK singles sales chart from this top 50 (Angels In Chains - # 65, Life’s About To Get Good - # 64 and one top 40 hit).

# 21 - # 25:

# 21. Kasia Mos - Flashlight

# 22. Samantha Harvey - Forgive Forget

# 23. Up - One By One (NF - Latvia)

# 24. Jessie Chris - Burn

# 25. Helene Fischer - Achterbahn

Before the contest Kasia Mos was personal big favourite, but she got only 2nd place in my Eurovision ranking behind one great performance.

With # 14 position in UK sales chart "Forgive Forget" became the most successful song from my top 50.

# 11 - # 15:

# 11. Marija Akelan - Meile

# 12. Ruta Sciogolevaite - Kai Tu Galvoji Apie Mus

# 13. Amy Macdonald - Automatic

# 14. Monika Sedziuviene & Linas Lapenas - Buk Salia

# 15. Jenny Augusta - I Go Where You Go (NF - Norway)

My new celebrity crush Monika Sedziuviene at # 14 with her first from three "Muzikinis Issukis" performances in this chart.



Not sure if anybody check my links for low-known songs, but I recommend "Meile". Beautiful song, even if your music taste is very far from Lithuanian pop.

# 8. Gabija and Zygis - Jau Kaledos

Charming and hardworking Dutch singer Ivana Raymonda Van Der Veen is my # 1 music discovery of 2017.



“Jau Kaledos” already became the one from my all-time favourite Chrsitmas songs, which was released some weeks after the finish of this personal list : http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=207111

Elize & No Stress is the first Romanian act in all history of my Year-End charts. Fantastic “Fara Bariere” got a bronze medal in my Ideal Eurovision - 2017.

# 3. Monika Sedziuviene & Ruta Zibaityte - Super Mergaites



My favourite video of 2017 year is the performance from Lithuanian TV show. "Super Mergaites" is a cover version of 69 Danguje's hit.

In past Ruta Zibaityte had three perfect "Your Face Sounds Familiar" performances in a role of 3 Lithuanian pop legends (Mia, Natalija Bunke and Inga Valinskiene).

# 2. YVA - Kaukes



After long pause in 7 years new YVA song was released. The ladies already were on the top of my Year-End chart with "Brunetes Blondines" in 2007.

# 1. Bucks Fizz - Dancing In The Rain



Most unpredictable comeback in the year of big comebacks.

It's not first # 1 for all group members in my Year-End charts. Firstly "The Land Of Make Believe" was my favourite song of 1981. In 1983 year Bobby McVay got # 1 ("Never Giving Up") as a part of Sweet Dreams' band. Finally Cheryl Baker's solo hit "If Paradise Is Half As Nice" became my favourite song of 1987.

Sadly, but all three new singles didn't reach UK Top 100 and their videos have very poor view numbers on Youtube, even much less than YVA.

Nice chart, The Fizz were a really pleasant surprise for me last year, I didn't expect the album to be so good. Classic Mike Stock pop.

Great to see Steps and Helene Fischer in the top 30 too <3 Need to check out a lot of the Lithuanian tracks!
