Commentary

Purple Disco Machine has had a great year with remixes of 'Rain On Me' and 'Don't Start Now' helping them further up the chart alongside two of his own songs. The first of these is 'In My Arms' at #215, true to his name it's another disco track of his which was also a former BJSC entry. Diplo teamed up with Sidepiece, introducing them to the world with tech house banger 'On My Mind', helped here by its unexpected minor chart success giving it a third wind in my chart. Avicii had my EOY #5 with 'Tough Love' and it now becomes the first of him we see in this rundown. Expect last year's #1 'Heaven' to appear much further up this chart. Another BJSC song now at #212 coming from Russians Cream Soda & HLEB - it is unsurprisingly the only song sang in Russian to appear in the countdown. 'Plachu Na Tekhno' is a great techno inspired banger as the title suggests, it has just the right amount of techno in it for me. A place above we have Solardo again this time alongside Armand & Hervé for a re-done version of their 'Power of Bass', an improvement over the original version with it being given a big boost of energy.

I suspect Alane and In Your Eyes will be a lot higher up your list than mine.

Commentary

TheFatRat will be making a couple more appearances later on but for now we have 'Close To The Sun' which was sadly released too close to the year's end for it to have made a yearly top 100, instead settling for a 151-210 dip. It became his 3rd #1 on my chart and he has since had another one. The song reworks one of his 2018 tracks into a fully fleshed out track with strings and vocals. At #209 is yet another BJSC discovery, another find from Thelonia this time from Ross Quinn with the very deep and smooth 'Away With Me'. Disclosure's comeback this year started with 'Ecstasy', a very standard song for them but it does its job. More was to come very quickly so this didn't last as long as it perhaps would've if it was a standalone effort. Alan Fitzpatrick is next in what was an unlikely departure from his usual techno that I'm not so keen on, with a remix of 'Haven't You Heard' - ironically a song that I hadn't heard of before. It works well with a house beat under it however. Yves V is another hangover with 'We Got That Cool' outperforming anything new he released this year.

Commentary

Just bubbling under the top 200 now firstly is another BJSC entry (there seems to be one in every section) from Kah-Lo. Best known for being on every Riton song, she left him for the 'Exit Sign' and all the better for it as it's the best song she's done in years. Lumïsade remixed Late Night Alumni's 'Empty Streets' into last year's Top 20, and this year followed it up with 'Red', a similarly themed progressive trance track which had one of the year's longest runs for a top 40 miss. Electronic producer Ben Böhmer managed to get his first proper hit in my chart this year at last with 'Cappadocia', named as such after he played there in a hot air balloon. The track also interestingly has a tempo switch right in the middle of it, not something you often get. Tensnake is also here with sleeper hit 'Make You Mine', one of the more accessible tracks of his as of recent for being a great standard dancepop tune. Which means Sofi Tukker & Gorgon City sit just outside with 'House Arrest'. Credit has to be given to them for making this song clearly inspired by Quarantine not feel like a gimmick and work on the virtual dance floor. It's got an excellent bassline too.

Never Seen The Rain was an alright song but sadly never grabbed me as much as Johnny Run Away / Dance Monkey. A fan of On My Mind (that bizarre video is iconic) and The Business looking to be at least soe sort of a hit come the new year. Big fan of House Arrest as well!

Giving Paper Aeroplane a listen now, a decent dance track, I quite like the beat in it.

I wasn't that keen on Johnny Run Away - Dance Monkey will be making an appearance a lot later on in the countdown, even though it was also here last year.
I hope The Business can do the business for Tiësto, would be a good dance hit.

You should! tongue.gif Glad you like the Sofi Tukker song anyhow, it should've really been in my top 200 but that's the way my chart points system works.

Commentary

Starting off the top 200 we have Above & Beyond with the help of melodic house producer Enamour on 'Homecoming', a remix of one of their chill out album tracks which became Enamour's first hit here. It's a lush instrumental accompanied with strings and a laidback groove. Roberto Surace is at #199 with 'Joys', another leftover from last year which remains his only hit of any description. 2020 has not been a great year for Jonas Blue who failed to get any real chart hits although this one with Paloma Faith should've done something really, it was pleasant enough to make my top 40 briefly which is more than a couple of his proper hits did. Don Diablo continued to release frequently this year with varying rates of success in my chart. He has a few more to come but until then we have middling hit 'We Are Love' which is about standard for a song of his really. Ella Henderson's most recent single was also released just in time to make the top 200, helped by a sample of 00s fave 'Another Chance' alongside her great vocal performance. A big shame that this didn't even reach the UK top 100, really, so I've linked it below in case you did miss it. Ella will be making a couple more appearances including her Jax Jones collab which is a top 10 contender.

Commentary

Gareth Emery's second appearance is another hangover from last year, the brilliant energetic instrumental track 'Mezzanine'. TheFatRat is also here again with 'Rule the World'. The track is his most recent single and is the only track in this rundown to feature a K-pop singer in AleXa, although this song is entirely in English. It's got a hook so catchy it's almost annoying but in a fun way and has the glitch hop production that he is best known for. Nora En Pure has had a great year with her having 6 entries. The first of these is 'Delta' which is one of her classic piano-led deep house tracks, sounding lush as ever. Franky Wah is here with BJSC winner 'Hide', which also got my 18 points in the contest. It remains my fave of his tracks yet with a great CamelPhatty house beat. Disclosure's 2nd appearance here is their hip-hop/garage effort 'My High', a bit of a different sound for them and not my favourite thing they've ever done but it works, I do enjoy that bassline. I do think Slowthai wasn't really needed on the song however.

'Dream On Me' deserved to do well. Seems the public really aren't here for Ella nowadays or only are in rare cases.

Loving the entries from The Weekend - In Your Eyes, Ross Quinn, Cream Soda, Mecha Meiko and Jax Jones (his best after 'You Don't Know Me' imo).

It's a real shame Ella seems to rely so much on playlist support and that she's just not getting any from Spotify, plus Dream On Me not getting as big a push on Apple as Take Care of You did.

Dream On Me peaked early then dropped off very quickly for me unfortunately! We Are Love was an okay song from Don but he has released much better (hope some of the songs of his I like are the ones that will be up later!)

Commentary

Trance producer ilan Bluestone unveiled his Uplifting alias Stoneblue earlier this year, so far he has only released this one song under the alias featuring one of my favourite trance vocalists in Emma Hewitt too. Grum is sandwiched by Nora En Pure with his largely instrumental track 'The Ascent', which has a short vocal sample of 'Don’t Fear The Reaper'. He has a #1 contender this year with the song 'Afterglow'. Nora's tracks 'Homebound' and 'Bartok' make the list, two great instrumental tracks done in her usual style accompanied by some great strings. Lastly, a song you may have actually heard of from Kygo who brought Zara Larsson back to the chart with 'Like It Is'. A fairly standard track for him, it does nothing new but is a good effort anyhow.

Commentary

Watermät started off the chart year with 'Raise' which would prove to be his best release of recent times. It also finally brought Sneaky Sound System to the chart with it being the first song of theirs I've cared for since their handful of late 00s releases. Mysterious dance act N.F.I got an instant hit in my chart helped by its Riton feature putting it on my radar, it's a rather good generic dance bop although it contains a chorus which goes 'don't talk to me' immediately followed by 'we can talk just give me a moment', a bit of a mixed message there. AJ Tracey & Mabel got together to make 'Ladbroke Grove' part 2, considering that track was in my top 100 last year this clearly wasn't quite as good for me but still a good effort and his best of the year, even if Mabel's parts seem to have nothing to do with AJ's. Armand van Helden proved he can still make a good tune when he wants to as well with the classic house inspired 'Step It Up', complete with classic diva vocals (and a brilliant intro). Finally a bit of an odd entry for Chicane who gets his classic 'Saltwater' in the rundown, helped by a new remix although it is actually the original version which I gave more plays to - one of the best songs of the 90s for me.

Like It Is was a brilliant comeback from Kygo, will definitely feature somewhere in my EOY. Step It Up is another good dance track this year, Don't Talk To Me unfortunately never grabbed me even though I added it to my playlist.
