102 Maximo Park - Hips and Lies (16pts)
103 Wonder Villains - Ferrari (0 pts)
104 The Heartbreaks - Delay Delay (0 pts)

Just the bottom four tracks to start us off and unfortunately two tracks get nul points.

Posted by: SevenSeize 3rd October 2014, 11:23 PM

yay for this hard to call a winner on this but i'd say Running to the Sea and Oblivion have a good chance!

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 3rd October 2014, 11:27 PM

91-100

91 Fiona Apple - Every Single Night (62 pts)
92 Bear In Heaven - Sinful Nature (57 pts)

99 Father John Misty - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings (40 pts)
100 Public Service Broadcasting - If War Should Come (35 pts)

Biggest surprises here are the low showings for the PSB and Grimes tracks.
I gave most of the Miike Snow points but that was only coz Lykke Li sang on it most probably.

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 3rd October 2014, 11:32 PM

81 Two Door Cinema Club - Sleep Alone (84 pts)
81 Alt-J - Fitzpleasure (84 pts)

88 The Macabees - Unknow (65 pts)
89 Sin Cos Tan - Trust (64 pts)
90 Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Everybody's On The Run (63 pts)

The second PSB track makes it appearance here - another minor surprise?
Fitzpleasure also makes a low appearance despite it actually finishing 2nd in a UP contest that year.
Otherwise not too many surprises.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 4th October 2014, 10:48 AM

Didn't Oscillate win UP?

Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 4th October 2014, 12:06 PM

quite surprised at walk through walls so far! fitzpleasure and oscillate obviously did very well in the competitions that they were in but outside of them they don't really hold a candle to their more prominent tracks. and sin cos tan <3

lovely to see my UP entry 'time to kill' represented (although i soon learned it was well known outside afterwards)

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 5th October 2014, 09:19 AM

71-80

71 Regina Spektor - All the Rowboats (102)

77 How To Dress Well - And It Was U (90)
78 Chad Valley - Fall 4 U (89)
79 Bloc Party - Octopus (88)
80 Yeasayer - Fingers Never Bleed (85)

The next batch bring the first of the Purity Ring tracks and the quite wonderful All The Rowboats. Bloc Party and Ben Howard might be considered as being surprisingly low.

68 John Talabot ft. Pional - Destiny (107)

Not so many shocks here as we get into the mid range.

65 Underworld - And I Will Kiss (115)


Oh go away Buzzjack! This is monumental.

Posted by: مدهش* 5th October 2014, 10:22 AM

Agreed Tony, it's an astonishingly captivating track for something that is 17 minutes long.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 5th October 2014, 01:43 PM

Fall 4 U/Take a Walk were some of my favourite BJSC discoveries from that year, nice to see them finishing decently.

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 6th October 2014, 09:04 PM

51 iamamiwhoami - drops (142)

54 Japandroids: - The House That Heaven Built (138)

56 Jessie Ware - Sweet Talk (133)
58 Public Service Broadcasting - Spitfire (130)
59 iamamiwhoami - kill (129)
59 Crystal Castles - Sad Eyes (129)

So coming up to half way, three out of the five iamamiwhoami tracks make an appearance. Also in this batch are both Muse tracks and the first Crystal Castles track. Sadly also Spitfire is in this lot.

Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 6th October 2014, 09:05 PM

i'm not too worried about sad eyes, it isn't the best of the CC tracks. starting to lose jonna tho </3 and lazuli

can't believe 'wonky' is still in!!!!

48 Burial - Kindred (149)
48 Twin Shadow - Five Seconds (149)
50 Alt-J - Taro (144)

Of Monsters and Men make their first appearance here Blur make a slightly surprising appearance just outside the Top 40.

Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 6th October 2014, 09:12 PM

tame impala so low is probs the one that strikes me as strange, even if i'm not a massive fan.

crying for ALL of these:

43 Chairlift - I Belong In Your Arms (163)
45 Crystal Castles - Wrath Of God (159)
46 Sleigh Bells - Comeback Kid (157)
48 Twin Shadow - Five Seconds (149)
50 Alt-J - Taro (144)

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 6th October 2014, 09:14 PM

I wanted Taro and Comeback Kid to come higher. Slightly mystified at the low showing from all 3 Alt-J tracks.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 6th October 2014, 09:30 PM

This is madness. Kindred and Under the Westway gone

Posted by: مدهش* 7th October 2014, 07:26 PM

Taro is great, even if it is a bit like a Sting track.

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 7th October 2014, 09:35 PM

32 Major Lazer - Get Free (206)

40 Underworld - Caliban's Dream (172)

Sorry Lew, here's Wonky and just one iamamiwhoami track left in.

Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 7th October 2014, 09:42 PM

i'm so surprised that wonky managed to scrape the top 40 considering i think most people were exposed to it either through the album (which was hardly the most well-known) or BJSC (which doesnt necessarily mean best of the year) so i'm thrilled! and 'sulk' still to come <3333

all of the songs starting to get really good now

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 7th October 2014, 09:50 PM

I really like gold on the ceiling

Little talks or summertime sadness for the win

Posted by: SevenSeize 7th October 2014, 09:50 PM

glad Default and Get Free made the top 40

Posted by: Iz~ 7th October 2014, 09:56 PM

Woo, get in the top 40 Emmylou <3

Pleased to see Myth in there too, that's a really infectious and lovable track. Shame Panic Station couldn't quite make the top 50.

Posted by: Conderella 8th October 2014, 07:38 AM

goods (although a bit surprised it wasn't 'play'!) get dat top 30 tho <3

Glad Jake Bugg goes out here. He just grates on me now.

Push and Shove

Posted by: Doctor Blind 10th October 2014, 07:01 PM

Loads of great songs in that 21-30 section, particularly "Yet Again", "Hurricane", "The Keepers", "Two Men In Love" and "Plague".

Posted by: Cremey 10th October 2014, 09:34 PM

'Plague' and 'Push and Shove' are two of my favourite songs from the last few years so glad to see them do well!
Intrigued to see what the top 20 will be.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 10th October 2014, 10:11 PM

Two Men in Love could be my song of the decade

Push and Shove in particular ranking as one of the best tracks of the decade so far...

Actually here's 20-11 now.

20-11

11 Chvrches - Lies (279)
12 Trust - Sulk (266)
13 HAERTS - Wings (263)
14 Grimes - Genesis (258)
15 iamamiwhoami - goods (257)
16 Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light (251)
16 Bat For Lashes - Laura (251)
18 Autre Ne Veut - Counting (248)
19 Marina & The Diamonds - Primadonna (247)
20 Purity Ring - Obedear (235)

So the 2013 winners finish just out side the Top 10 with what I think is a better track as does forum favourite Sulk.
Florence, Marina and iamamiwhoami all finish just outside too. Not too surprised about the first two but I thought iam... would get one track into the top 10.

Posted by: مدهش* 19th October 2014, 02:23 PM

Excellent set of 10 there, love all to varying degrees. HAERTS and Trust in particular tho'

(plus yay at my favourite song of the decade so far making it to the top 10)

10 Foals - Inhaler (289)



Having a much more straight ahead sound than the angular workouts of yore, this is still a storming track. The first release from the Holy Fire album, I'm a bit mystified why My Number wasn't nommed as well especially as it went top 20.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 19th October 2014, 04:01 PM

My Number would've been 2013, no?

Inhaler is brilliant. Pleased to see it so high, one of top few songs of this decade.

No idea what's to come, voting too long ago and songs 2 years old so hopefully some decent surprises.

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 19th October 2014, 04:06 PM

My Number was released 17 December 2012

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 19th October 2014, 04:09 PM

9 Woodkid - Run Boy Run (298)



One of the absolute tracks of the year for me. BJSC winner and used in game ads and tv promos, this was everywhere.

Posted by: uraqt 19th October 2014, 04:10 PM

Surprised 'No Light, No Light' ended as high as it did to be honest, I've never thought of it as a standout track from the album, let alone the year!
Glad to see 'Inhaler' doing well.

Posted by: Dircadirca 19th October 2014, 04:14 PM

8 Purity Ring - Fineshrine (299)



One of the breakout acts of the year. Great pop music that failed to crossover and criminally peaked at #163 in the UK.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 19th October 2014, 04:46 PM

The first three tracks in this Top 10 all featured on my 'album of the year' which I compile and send out to my friends instead of a Christmas card at Christmas. Wonder if that trend will continue.. "The Mother We Share" still to come?

Another couple of tracks that seemed to be everywhere. Love Santigold and Wildest Moments ain't bad either.

Posted by: SevenSeize 19th October 2014, 07:22 PM

brilliant top 10 thus far. Pyramids wouldn't rank among my favourites of that year, but it's still good and i fully understand the appeal~

Oblivion or Running To the Sea to win, from the ones remaining!

4 Grimes - Oblivion (330)



A big album of the year provides Grimes with a #4 finish here.
I like this more than I remembered although it does sound like she's singing over an old Throbbing Gristle track.

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 19th October 2014, 08:50 PM

So it's between Lana, Royksopp and Of Monsters and Men for the #1 position.

3 Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks (349)



TBH this completely passed me by at the time and listening to it now has done nothing to change my mind. Just sounds like a slightly more annoying Noah and the Whale to me.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 19th October 2014, 10:05 PM

LITTLE TALKS
I really should have put it as top for me, I adore and love this song so much
This was also a rare occasion in 2013 when I actually bought a song on iTunes

Posted by: Cremey_SZN 28th October 2014, 10:57 PM

Don't understand the appeal of 'Little Talks'. 'Pyramids' is easily my favourite of the top 10 and probably the whole year, glad to see it at #7.
Would be happy with either a Lana or Röyksopp win really!

really excited for the 2014 one, Two Weeks better win though..

Summertime Sadness is very good but I prefer the Cedric Gervais remix which I suppose isn't very indie, but still very happy with that winner.

Awwww so close. However 2nd is still great for such a comparatively low key single release.

Plus the Lana track is also good to be fair.

Well, I love the entire top 3 so I think that's a success. Probably in reverse order to how they ended up but no matter. Very nice to see Disparate Youth so high up as well; I shall look forward to the 2014 version.
