I think I charted almost everything there last year . 'Doomscroller' was of course my favourite from that Metric album but 'False Dichotomy' was still a highlight nevertheless. 'Magic', 'In A Dream' and 'Time Is Not A Healer It’s A Fuel For Resentment' are all very good BJSC entries <3 have you heard 'Desperado Vespa' by the latter artist? That was how I first discovered LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER via an Aelandor entry several years back Ooh yay for the taste . Metric have certainly been a huge find for me as I was only vaguely aware of them before 'Doomscroller'. Love the support for those BJSC entries can't remember if I'd sought it out before, but 'Desperado Vespa' sounds pretty good - several of his songs have come up on my Release Radar, including 'Night Or Day' which I also charted. Thanks Jade now for the conclusion of this countdown!

As my weekly charts are currently on hold, I'll need a slightly different methodology for a 2024 EOY, but I'll definitely have something to count down here when that time comes!

Charting it soon-ish 01 \| 838 \| Rose Gray - Ecstasy 07 \| 575 \| Loreen - Tattoo 17 \| 411 \| Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Wuh Oh - Hypnotized 20 \| 397 \| The Killers - Your Side Of Town 25 \| 391 \| Peggy Gou - (It Goes Like) Nanana 31 \| 355 \| Ofenbach feat. Norma Jean Martine - Overdrive 36 \| 336 \| Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding - Miracle 42 \| 325 \| Lucia & The Best Boys - Burning Castles 48 \| 289 \| Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again 60 \| 248 \| Noah Kahan - Stick Season 66 \| 230 \| Sheryl Crow - Alarm Clock 68 \| 226 \| Dua Lipa - Houdini 76 \| 208 \| Stephen Sanchez - Until I Found You 83 \| 196 \| cassö, RAYE, D-Block Europe - Prada 97 \| 162 \| Olivia Rodrigo - vampire 100 \| 156 \| The Weeknd - Less Than Zero (number 2 biggie in 2022 for me) These are the main ones I charted and bought, but a huge chunk of your chart I haven't heard, or at most have heard once, so that isn't in any way a reflection of whether I like them or not - I just havent heard them! On new releases I tend to focus on familiar names to give a spin on my phone, beyond that it's down to what I come across elsewhere, usually radio two or BJSC

Well she's had two in a day as I'd been thinking I should actually buy some of these, so in fact I bought all my top 6 here. Glad to see you several others of these made your chart. I know there's some obscure ones here too - many of them are just from listening to playlists or songs others have charted and seeing what sticks! Thanks John
