#04. One Kiss (with Dua Lipa)

Rate score: 9.11/10
Highest rate score: 10 (George.keh, Josh!, Frenchie, danG, Nina West, gavindeejay, Nick F1, blacksquare, lewistgreen, Stu1985, Juan Carlos)
Lowest rate score: 6.5 (Bjork, Dobbo)
2018 rate position: N/A
2014 rate position: N/A

Year of release: 2018
Album: N/A
UK Chart position: #1
YouTube views: 663.9m (MV)
Spotify streams: 1.05b




Making a strong debut in the rate is one of the standalone singles released between 2018-19 featuring Dua Lipa on vocals. One Kiss got a lot of 10s here which is understandable as it's a surefire bop.

#03. Pray To God (featuring HAIM)

Rate score: 9.11/10
Highest rate score: 11 (George.keh, Josh!, Nick F1, Bjork, gog_lad84)
Lowest rate score: 5.5 (Jonjo)
2018 rate position: 3 of 44
2014 rate position: N/A

Year of release: 2014
Album: Motion
UK Chart position: #35
YouTube views: 75.4m (MV)
Spotify streams: 137.6m




Just edging out 'One Kiss' into 3rd with the same rate score but getting 5 11s, 'Pray To God' holds on to its 3rd position meaning the top 3 are the same as in 2018 (but in the same order?) - the song was a welcome swtichup from Calvin's usual sound being an unlikely collab with the indie band HAIM released in the peak of the EDM banger era. Unfortunately it wasn't that big of a chart hit but it was a big Buzzjack hit and clearly still fondly remembered on here now. I wouldn't put it quite this high (and I prefer 'One Kiss') but it's at least in my top 10 of his, I'd definitely welcome more of this style from Calvin however unlikely it is.

I would also have preferred to see "One Kiss" above "Pray To God", but I'm not going to deny that both of them are great.

Either way, I don't remember where exactly I read the following on Tumblr, but it was said that (an early version of) "Pray To God" was meant to be included on Days Are Gone and it didn't make the cut. Then, the track was somehow sent to Calvin Harris and he worked on it with them and Ariel Rechtshaid.

Pray to God is much much better than the over-rated One Kiss,
wouldn't have minded Pray to God being #1

I can safely say Pray To God was my favourite song of the entirety of 2010s for sure- everything about is excellence for me!

Those are 2 very "meh" songs in his catalogue.

#02. I'm Not Alone

Rate score: 9.23/10
Highest rate score: 11 (gavindeejay, Jonjo)
Lowest rate score: 7 (Josh!, Nick F1)
2018 rate position: 1 of 44
2014 rate position: 3 of 21

Year of release: 2009
Album: Ready For The Weekend
UK Chart position: #1
YouTube views: 7.4m (MV)
Spotify streams: 32.2m




Moving down 1 place from 2018's rate is I'm Not Alone which was released way back in 2009. Having recently been re-released to celebrate its 10th anniversary, this is definitely one of Calvin's singles that has stood the test of time.

#01. We Found Love (with Rihanna)

Rate score: 9.45/10
Highest rate score: 11 (danG, Nina West, lewistgreen, Stu1985)
Lowest rate score: 6 (Dobbo)
2018 rate position: 2 of 44
2014 rate position: 1 of 21

Year of release: 2011
Album: Talk That Talk / 18 Months
UK Chart position: #1
YouTube views: 919.2m (MV)
Spotify streams: 622m




Reclaiming the top spot is We Found Love, having last topped the rate in 2014. We Found Love was released as the lead single for Rihanna's Talk That Talk era but also featured on 18 Months. It's catchy, euphoric and your winner heart.gif heart.gif

"I'm Not Alone" and "We Found Love" are still great to date, so it's good to see that both of them landed inside the Top 2.

Late here, but 'Feel So Close' finished way too low! Also glad to see 'Pray To God' ended that high up.
