Borrowing iz's list of my songs of the year i thought it might be of interest to see how i rate them...
1. Kadie Elder – First Time He Kissed A Boy 2. Inga Humpe – Riding Into Blue 3. Fitz And The Tantrums – HandClap 4. Kishi Bashi – Ode To My Next Life 5. Princess Chelsea – The Cigarette Duet 6. Chris Lee – Real Love 7. Ezra Furman – Restless Year 8. Firebeatz & DubVision – Invincible 9. Timothy Bloom – Til The End Of Time 10.Yothu Yindi – Treaty dance remix Sometimes i enter stuff cos its different, sometimes cos i love it. Sometimes both. I was happy to see fitz make the billboard charts, if i could pick one to blockbuster the world streaming charts id pick kadie, such a brilliantly constructed record, perfect in every way. |

9. peak: 4 9wks COME ALIVE FMLYBND 340050 (medhelnia 87)
The first of mdh's 2 top 10 entries, the only nation with that honour. A great EDMrock hybrid of sorts, the essential Empire Of The Sun-ish pop quality of it won me over right away. The video suggests it's a live recording - now it sounds a bit too polished for that so if it is, kudos! |

8 peak: 4 15wks AMANECER Bomba Estereo 399250 (Ingermanlandia 82)
First of two Spanish-language tracks in my top 10, and in no way am I biased towards latin rhythms as I type this on the plane to Playa Del Ingles. OK I am. I love the sound of the languages, the sexy Colombian dance rhythms, (my hips don't lie), and this insistant dance gem is just so fab. Play loud, get up and boogie. Ingermanlandia's track of the year and the top track of BJSC82. |

7. Peak : 3 12wks LET ME KNOW No Wyld 416300 (medhelnia 86)
This was a powerful hybrid, sort of Cee-Lo styled soyl vocals mixed with spoken-rap which reminded me of the fab noughties hit Butterfly by Crazy Town. Video attached if you dont know it. Fab it is. So is this track too, and mdh's top track of the year in a strong field of 4 entered by medhelnia. |

6. Peak: 6* 16wks HER (LOVING YOU) GLADES 461650 (brechtoria 87)
Just a gorgeous ballad this one, beautifully sung and a fab arrangement. Most of all it's the melody that captivates me, soooo lovely. Brechtoria's best track of the year and still on my charts. |

5. Peak: 6 21wks THIS GIRL (KUNGS VS COOKIN' ON 3 BURNERS RADIO EDIT) Kungs & Cookin' On 3 Burners 559300 (botannika 83)
The biggest Botannika and the biggest UK hit to come out of BJSC in 2016 and a deserved smash. A fab pop and dance record, a combo joint effort from both acts and a standout record of the year. My only grump is the rubbish streaming charts held it off the top spot where it belonged - not just cos it was a better record (it was) but also cos it was the best selling download for 2 or 3 weeks. |

4. Peak: 2* 14wks FAMILIAR Agnes Obel 613500 (Fljotavik 88)
Dandy's most-gorgeous entry of the year, hauntingly stark and atmospheric, achingly beautiful. A real masterpiece, and one that nearly topped my charts. Agnes is an act I was aware of but never really noticed. Till this came along.....shes now got 2 tracks in my charts. |

3. Peak: 1 13wks CRAZY FOR YOU Zonderling featuring Bishop 731700 (aeroche 81)
The top 3 all topped my charts, and this Leww track did it at the start of the year, giving Aeroche a second year of big tracks in my year-end. I just LOVED the delicious galloping wonky off-the-beat uniqueness of this breathy, delish dance banger. Fab. U. Lous! |

2. Peak: 1 30wks OTRA ERA Javiera Mena 859650 (trifoski 84)
The unluckiest buzzjack song if the year. The one that won BJSC84 has also just beaten this genius EDM slice of popdance perfection. Javiera is a Chilean indiedance act and I have become obsessed by her track over the last few months. I played it over and over in the car, it dropped then came back even stronger to top my chart, and it still hangs around 30 weeks later. When I come across a record that I love equally every perfect second throughout, I see it as just unimproveable. This is one of those records, love the latin groove, Ive tried to sing along in spanish, Ive read the translation, I love the video and wish I could take a copy to the Spanish late night bar here in gran canaria that is on tonight playing spanish and worldwide dance tracks. Seven's best of an unbeatable 6 tracks in my top 100... I hope thats not OTT...! |

1. Peak: 1 21wks SAVE IT Salt Ashes 1272900 (FARC 84)
Completing a spine-tinglingly great female vocal top 6, its new female singersongwriter Salt Ashes with the top winner of the year. A brilliant dance track, with a fabulous hook, the record kicks it up a gear with the bridge 2 mins and 22 seconds in, full of convincing passion and just SO obviously a worldwide monster hit in waiting. Sadly its not 2012, though, dance tracks big on the bpm and passion fail to breakthrough the yawnsome middletempo tropical house tracks that dominate the charts - we dont want spotify encouraging people to bugger off to club do we! Its not from lack of trying though, the records has been re re re re re mixed again and again and is as we speak in the club and cool cuts charts. Sadly that dont cut the mustard with streaming 14 year olds, so no chance. Besides which, the original is pretty much perfect as is. I have tested various buzzjack tracks on my 30something neice and hubby, and 20something nephew, and this was the track they got enthusiastic about. Im still living in hope that FARC's 2016 champion will do it...! |

Excellent #1... and excellent #4!
Salt Ashes reached #1 for me too actually, I don't really associate it with BJSC as I already knew it prior to the contest - however it did definitely grow on me after the hype on here. |

Amazing top 2 <3 Save It sounds so timeless and completely deserved the big margin it got, I'm still baffled Otra Era didn't do something similar, would've absolutely smashed if it was sent a few years ago I'm sure.
Been loving following this, and very happy to have an entry in your top 15! I missed that going viral and just came across it this year and was so struck by the story told and sad production, I very rarely send tracks like that so glad it paid off! |
