When the Lights Go Down was one of my early favourites of the year! Was so good to hear Cody Simpson on something poppier for the first time in ages.

The first song to crack the Top 100 - I can't really do this song justice in words, other than it's a bop and completely different to anything else in my countdown.

Commentary

This one's still growing on me and could well peak in the new year - it took me a while to fully appreciate this one after how absolutely fantastic Taste was, but this is a great song in its own right, with a nice message and a really cheery instrumentation.

When You're Gone was a great release from Shawn. I think his days as a 'big' artist are behind him now though.
When The Lights Go Down is awesome too

Glad you're a fan of both - you might be right about Shawn, at least he's still making music for us to enjoy though! Thanks Adam happy.gif

QUOTE(Slade @ Dec 20 2022, 06:39 PM) *
Hey Pete hi.gif

'SPACE MAN' is another strong choice of 'mainstream song of the year' happy.gif it felt surreal to witness the U.K. doing so well in Eurovision, but Sam certainly sold that performance.

My top favourites revealed in your top 200 so far:

185: David Kushner - Miserable Man
177: altrice - places faces
167: Arctic Monkeys - There'd Better Be A Mirrorball
163: Circus Mircus - Lock Me In
127: Gang of Youths - In The Wake Of Your Leave
107: Foals - 2am

Justice for Circus Mircus sleep.gif I enjoyed how zany that entry was. I haven't gotten around to The Car yet but 'There'd Better Be A Mirrorball' was a gorgeous, cinematic lead.

I need to check out that LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER (great band name indeed) song as I loved Aelandor's BJSC entry by them and other recent song 'We'll Find A Way'!

I must've missed 'We'll Find A Way' so immediately going to check that out! Glad you like all these songs as well - and justice for Circus Mircus indeed! Thanks Jade happy.gif

Can't say I've heard too much Cody Simpson myself (although YouTube tells me I have played a few of his songs!) - I should probably try to listen to more of him as his vocals on this are very nice. Thanks Joseph!

Really liked "Living Without You", "2am" and "Remind Me" from your latest selection.
I really wished "2am" had a long run on my charts, it's my second favourite from them, behind "Exits".

I did quite like Living Without You albeit not quite as much as the two Sigala UK top 40 hits of the year, it does sound a lot like his older material but not as good - would've been nice nonetheless for it to sneak a top 40 week anyhow.

Some great picks since I lasted commented. Agreed on Shawn's song. Absolutely deserved better sad.gif 'How Do I Say Goodbye' is lovely too. Also quite like the Arctic's and the Tom Grennan songs too. Sigala I did like and even peaked at #6 but grew off me fairly quickly unfortunately and as a result will do not as well as it seemed in my EOY now. 'places faces' was solid too. I've not checked out Porcupine Trees newer material but I'm very familiar with them as I sang two of their songs at uni back in the day and of course Stevens BJSC Smash 'Pariah' was also excellent too so I'll give them a listen in the new year some point!

Commentary

I've been aware of Pyramid Park (real name Pete - no he's not me as I know some joked in BJSC tongue.gif) for a while, but not really ventured into his music much until now. This is a lovely song though, a decent amount of synth, a really interesting animated video and his melody is spot on as well!

Commentary

Teleman's first appearance in my chart since their ill-fated BJSC entry Between The Rain, this song doesn't have too much depth to it but is incredibly catchy and with a video which we'll call 'intriguing'! It didn't quite crack my Top 10 but still sounds lovely.

Commentary
The first chart hit for UK singer Naffymar - she teamed up with Nigerian singer Marizu for this one, bringing him his second chart hit in my chart (although he's had a bigger one since!). This is a very lively afrobeat-y worship/feel-good track.

Commentary

The first and last time I've listened to this artist (although I see he's had some new stuff out recently!), this is a very catchy and quirky track which I think is probably a satire of modern society. Very dance-able!

Commentary

On the surface this song isn't too much, just a very normal-sounding worship song from Australian singer TAYA. However, as you can see from the chart run, it just refuses to grow old on me! As with a lot of worship songs that grab me, this one is about giving it all over to God when life becomes too much to handle and looks uncertain.

Agree with pretty much all your comments! Not sure how long 'Living Without You' will last in my charts, it being so late in the year has probably helped it be a little higher. I haven't actually heard too much of Porcupine Tree (besides Steven Wilson solo stuff) but really should give some more a listen. Thanks Rob! happy.gif

Commentary

TobyMac has had a few hits this year, but this is Zach Williams' first big tack in my chart (Christmas songs aside). It took me a while to get into this one but it's fab, and the message of trusting in God for stability (and keeping Him central) in a world which is constantly changing is an important one.

Sam Ryder's first single following SPACE MAN, this didn't take off in the charts but I think it's fantastically catchy, showcasing the full range of his voice whilst also being fast-paced and very upbeat and cheery.

One of quite a few Eurovision songs to have made my EOY Top 100 this year! I also feel like this should be quite a bit higher, but here we go. Some very reflective-sounding vocals and the clapping/drums in the chorus really make this song for me.

'Somebody' wasn't particularly the kind of single Sam should have picked to follow up 'SPACE MAN' with imo. It's ok enough if say I time travelled back to 2005 but not now lol.

Commentary

Riddle me this - if a man is born in America to Polish parents and then moves back to Poland as an adult, is he Polish or American? Either way, he represented Poland at Eurovision this year with quite a fantastic song. The build up of the instruments throughout is very atmospheric (not sure if that's the right word but it'll do) and the chorus is a real earworm!

Commentary

No idea whether Dutch DJ Nothing But Funk is a Christian or not but he makes a stomping great gospel dance song. The beat is great and the vocals, whilst a bit generic, work very well with the beat. If only it'd done a little better in BJSC!
