Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,241 User: 116	It's that time of year...! Before I reveal my top 100 favourite songs of the year and top 40 albums, here are the songs that either made my top 100 most played of the year according to Spotify but for the reasons stated are not in my overall top 100, or were from December and didn't quite make it into the top 100 in time but could be in there next year! If I heard a song for the first time this year then it simply just 'missed the cut', otherwise I have stated a reason for it not being included. I do, however, love all of these. ABBA - Don't Shut Me Down (was in my 2021 EOY chart) Amy Studt - Ladder In My Tights (was in my 2021 EOY chart) Angèle - Bruxelles je t'aime (missed the cut) Bananarama - Help!

(missed the cut) Sally Shapiro feat Highway Superstar - Down This Road (missed the cut) Sofia Källgren - Handen på hjärtat (was in my 2021 EOY chart) Sam Ryder - Put A Light On Me (from December and just missed the cut) Smith & Thell - Planet Mars (missed the cut) Steps - One For Sorrow - Steps 25 Revisited Mix (missed the cut) Steps - Platinum Megamix (missed the cut) Sugababes - No Regrets (from December and just missed the cut) The Rasmus - Jezebel (missed the cut) Ultracynic - Nothing Is Forever (missed the cut) Uno & Irma - God Morgon (a 2007 song I played a lot this year) Valeska Muller - C'mon Over (missed the cut) Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See - French Extended Mix (missed the cut) This post has been edited by gooddelta: 1st January 2023, 11:13 PM

Not heard that Sam Ryder song yet. Rasmus one was good but not in my EOY anywhere. Look forward to seeing what's in your top 100. Predicting one of your BJSC entries, Sam and Cornelia for top 3 though.

Rina Sawayama – Hold The Girl 5. Nerina Pallot - I Don't Know What I'm Doing 6. George Ezra - Gold Rush Kid 7. Hudson Mohawke - Cry Sugar 8. Röyksopp – Profound Mysteries Trilogy 9. Sugababes – The Lost Tapes 10. Dolcenera – Anima Mundi 11. The Fizz – Everything Under The Sun 12. Sally Shapiro - Sad Cities 13. DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - Bewitched! 14.

Mark Owen – Land Of Dreams 26. Ella Henderson - Everything I Didn't Say 27. Madonna - Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones 28. Vanessa Amorosi - City Of Angels 29. Emeli Sandé - Let's Say For Instance 30. Carrie Underwood - Denim & Rhinestones 31. Pale Waves - Unwanted 32. KT Tunstall – NUT 33. The 1975 – Being Funny In A Foreign Language 34. Foxes - The Kick 35. Rex Orange County - WHO CARES? 36. Naked Flames - Miracle In Transit 37. Editors – EBM 38. Dubstar – Two 39. Regina Spektor - Home, before and after 40. beabadoobee – Beatopia Commentary 2022 was quite a solid year for albums, certainly the top 10 or so I know I will come back to time and time again in the future. Steps threw absolutely everything at the Platinum Collection, while the CD release was fairly standard, if their most comprehensive yet, its No.1 position reflects the bonus versions that featured all manner of uncovered demos, new remixes, alternate takes and just about everything else. I have had their music on all year. Taylor Swift is no stranger to finishing in my end of year top ten and No.2 is her highest position yet, Midnights is such a fantastic album throughout - she really is the best mainstream popstar out there still. And despite being only a few weeks old, Sam Ryder's debut gets into the top three as I was already familiar with half of the album through prior releases. It's a fantastic first record for him and I can't wait to see what he does next. Unusually, all of my top three reached No.1 in the UK! The same fate sadly didn't befall Rina Sawayama, who missed with her brilliant second record Hold The Girl. Nerina Pallot got nowhere close with what I feel is her best album in years, I Don't Know What I'm Doing. Another UK No.1, George Ezra's Gold Rush Kid wasn't quite up there with Staying At Tamara's but was still a very solid return. A couple of dance albums also make it - Hudson Mohawke's eclectic Cry Sugar, and Röyksopp's three opuses which I've bundled together as one - they are all brilliant but the third part was my favourite, and two more December releases round off the top 10, helped by the fact that I'd heard all of the Sugababes' demo versions beforehand, while Dolcenera's was something of a roundup of her last five years, with a few new songs. The top 100 songs of the year will follow on New Year's Eve! This post has been edited by gooddelta: 29th December 2022, 10:19 PM

RAYE nearly made it, but just missed the cut. Good predictions indeed there, no doubt those two will feature highly.

Hold the girl is a fantastic album. That album has five tracks in the top 50 of my EOY so I don't really think I need to explain how much I like that album lol. I must say though I'm incredibly dissapointed not to see Tove Lo Make an appearance.

Thanks James, they definitely were great, one of the best Hits collections ever, and one of Taylor's finest studio abums. Yes i love the Rina album, even better than her brilliant first. Sadly Tove missed the cut although I did like the album. QUOTE(uhsting @ Dec 30 2022, 10:27 PM) I didn't notice Dolcenera in here I wonder how you would rate Lo-Fi a banger x I like Lo-Fi! All of the new tracks are decent. I sent Un Altro Giorno Sulla Terra to BJSC in 2018 and it was a DNQ Weird that four and a half years later it's the opening track on her new album.

REDDI - The Show 100. Joy Club - Where's This Love Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7ae7OEbiJ...61de712d53c46d4 Commentary: Would it really be an end of year chart of mine without a melodic Swedish song near the top? As with ABBA's Don't Shut Me Down last year, Cornelia Jakobs gets the gold for Sweden in 2022 with her Melodifestivalen winner and Eurovision top five Hold Me Closer. The first time I heard this in its Melodifestivalen semi-final, it was clear this was something special, and it has never stopped being magical with each performance and play. I was lucky enough to see the track performed twice live this year at various gigs and each time was euphoric. Taking the best of Swedish pop, pulsing electro, high emotion, and a raspy voice, it's a wonderful track and my favourite song to come out in many years. YET, Sam Ryder's SPACE MAN ran Cornelia very close and is also one of my favourite songs of the last few years. It's not actually unusual for a Eurovision track to top my chart, but the top two being locked out by entries has never happened in my chart before, which shows the power of this duo. It's a fitting place for national treasure Sam, who famously finished 2nd in Eurovision and peaked at No.2 in the UK charts. The track is a soaring pop song that takes the best of British music and bundles it into a contemporary song that was delivered with the standout performance of the night in May - to say this was coming from the United Kingdom was very unusual indeed. It was wonderful to see the points deservedly rolling in, and I doubt we'll capture lightning in a bottle like this again for a long time - it's just a shame he couldn't quite go all the way due to the Ukraine juggernaut. But we're very proud of him! And onto the FIVE of my BJSC entries that made my top ten this year. The highest was Romanian singer Holy Molly's Shot a friend, which finishes third here, a place below where it finished for FSR Rontvia in BJSC. The most generic entry I've sent in many years, sure, but it does generic so, so well. In and out in just over two minutes, the song packs a killer chorus and production and for me is one of the catchiest tracks of the year. I followed that entry with 247 365 by British producer Naked Flames, which actually topped my monthly chart right at the start of the year. I'm glad I saved it for an AQ though, as I doubt it would have qualified without one and people needed to hear this song, which is essentially the Super Monkey Ball soundtrack if recorded with a potato. I LOVE it. Amazingly, we managed two silver medals in BJSC in 2022, and our second, the artpop of Jessica Winter's Choreograph, which builds and builds to a very satisfying climax, finishes at No.5! At No.6 is an old 1990s hit on the continent, United by Prince Ital Joe and Marky Mark (actor Mark Wahlberg in a previous life as a rapper). I did actually know this song beforehand but got into it more after my trip to Berlin back in May, and it was one of my songs of summer 2022, funnily enough, so that deserves to be represented. Dutch DJ Kim Kaey's dance anthem Touch Me There, another banging two minute wonder, is No.7, and at No.8 is...something very different. South African singer Nádine has had a few hits in my chart over the years, her signature song being the early 00s ballad Kaapse Draai. Earlier this year I stumbled across an orchestral instrumental version of the track and absolutely fell in love with it, the grand swooping strings and gorgeous build get me every time, so here it is in the top ten. My other two top ten BJSC entries this year were completely off the wall tracks that both sneak into my end of year top ten. Bicstan by Scottish producer Hudson Mohawke (who later went viral with another track of his) at No.9 is weird, wonderful and mesmerising while French collab O.B.I.C by Cassie Raptor & Rebeka Warrior absolutely BANGS to the highest degree possible and, like in BJSC, it finishes 10th here. As is customary, it is very unusual for any UK top 40 hits to do that well for me, often I like but don't love a lot of the current chart hits, so a big shout out to the No.1s from Eliza Rose (No.13), the Encanto cast (No.17), LF System (No.20) and Taylor Swift (No.34) for actually being wonderful <3 Other big chart hits that I was obsessed with this year came from George Ezra, Cat Burns, Jessica Darrow, Rihanna and Lost Frequencies/Calum Scott. So well done to them. Music aside, 2022 was of course a depressing challenge for many, so lets really hope 2023 is better! This post has been edited by gooddelta: 31st December 2022, 06:03 PM

Also great to see Eliza Rose so high and the underrated Potion make an appearance. I can't help but think if it fared better on the charts, people on here would have liked it more Yay for some South African representation as well (Laurika Rauch). Didn't peg you as Afrikaans music fan. I'd recommend Bernice West if you haven't been following her yet

Ahh I'm so glad you liked those, the challenge is on for me to find something similar during 2023, starting to really love music like that recently. Eliza definitely had the best UK No.1 of the year for me, what an instant classic <3 Ha, yes I think Potion would certainly be in a few more charts if it had been a top five hit! It's a smooth, funky summer groove, I really don't get the hate and never did. Ahh yeah, is that a well known song in South Africa? I know it's very old, I think it popped up on my Discover Weekly so there must be similar stuff I've been listening to for it to be recommended. Seems I favourited a song called Jona by Bernice West last year, I'll check out more of her stuff though - thanks!

It was only going to be her or Sam really and Sam is destined for the 2's isn't he 2. Sam Ryder - SPACE MAN 3. Holy Molly - Shot a friend yeah I get this is pretty generic but it's such a bop and I'm a fan of a lot of other Holy Molly tracks that I've heard too! 4. Naked Flames - 247 365 5. Jessica Winter - Choreograph 9. Hudson Mohawke - Bicstan 10. Cassie Raptor & Rebeka Warrior - O.B.I.C 11. Griff & Sigrid - Head on Fire 12. Krisu - The Ocean Sings to Me in Turquoise Waves 13.

Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero and Stephanie Beatriz - We Don't Talk About Bruno 18. P!nk - Never Gonna Not Dance Again nice to see this so high, she's only just been posted in mine at 53 and so you win here with more time she'd probably be outside the top 20 in mine too I'd say. 19. AR/CO - Call Me By My Name 20. LF SYSTEM - Afraid To Feel 21. Editors - Vibe sadly wasn't mad on this. Much prefer their oldies like 'Smokers...' etc but one of their other song I charted and quite enjoyed! 24. George Ezra - Anyone For You (Tiger Lily) should have been top 10 along with several other fab songs that missed top 10 this year. Seems people wanted childrens nursery rhymes instead 25. Giant Swan - 55 Year Old Daughter . what a iconic track 31. Cazzi Opeia - I Can't Get Enough I think I've heard this once but will need another listen. Then again I probably won't bother now oops. 32. Sigrid & Bring Me The Horizon - Bad Life 34. Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero 35. Cat Burns - go I did like this but it outstayed it's welcome a bit in the end 37. Paola & Chiara - Vamos a bailar (Esta vida nueva) spanish bop 41. Sam Ryder - All The Way Over he should stick to his own (good) tracks instead of the Medleys on NYE and this was beautiful 44. George Ezra - Green Green Grass Gorgeous George sits the kids down to read them a childrens story about Green Grass 46. Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf A Banana 48. Kohta Imafuku - Orihime what a sublime trance song 49. Genes - Crumble didn't think much of this actually in the end 50. Eline Noelia - Don't Pray For Me 55. Ava Max - Maybe You’re The Problem 61. Jessica Darrow - Surface Pressure 62. Alba August - Isabelle 67. PPJ - Neném 69. Skott - Sunshine this didn't really impress me in the end either but it also wasn't bad either. 70. Papa Dance - Nasz disneyland (Remix) 72. Rina Sawayama - Catch Me In The Air couldn't quite get into this one much preferred TH 74. Aamourocean - Parmi Les Mortels 76. Måneskin - SUPERMODEL 77. Calvin Harris with Dua Lipa & Young Thug - Potion 88. Nerina Pallot - There's A River I started playing 'Everyboy's Gone To War' last year and was reminded of how decent that was. A tad surprising it wasn't top 10 tbh. 89. Holy Molly & LIZOT - Sunday Night this is one of the good ones I was talking about. 91. Lost Frequencies & Calum Scott - Where Are You Now I guess he isn't with him then 94. The Jordan - The Room Fab chart Rich

Cat Burns - go 37. Paola & Chiara - Vamos a bailar (Esta vida nueva) 46. Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf A Banana 48. Kohta Imafuku - Orihime 53. Nora Van Elken - Dire, Dire Docks 74. Aamourocean - Parmi Les Mortels 77. Calvin Harris with Dua Lipa & Young Thug - Potion 85. Rihanna - Lift Me Up 91. Lost Frequencies & Calum Scott - Where Are You Now 92. Gareth Emery & Annabel - Love You For All Time – yay for Gareth sneaking in here, a lovely song this is too although wasn't quite my favourite of his for the year 100. Joy Club - Where's This Love Thanks Dan, I did almost go for Touch Me There for BJSC but it was around the same time as Shot a friend, and I basically had to pick between the two circa 2 minute uptempo female pop/dance songs. Molly narrowly won that internal battle but I adore both - it's very much still in my back pocket for another contest, it's a great little song. Afraid To Feel and B.O.T.A. were such refereshing UK No.1s, would really like to see more of that sort of sound at the top in 2023. Ah yes, I really like Love You For All Time, lovely melodic little track. I'm not sure I heard much of his other stuff last year, will check out the stuff in your chart.

Probably the better decision to choose Shot a Friend out of those two then, I wouldn't imagine Touch Me There have done quite so well. I like both about the same. Yes I really home we get some more club-oriented dance hits in 2023 - those two being big #1s shows that the market is there for it.. As I've not finished doing my EOY I'll just drop a mention here to the other four Gareth Emery songs that've made my year-end top 100: Because the Night Breathe Forever & Always This Is Not The End

Absolutely, there was a time in late summer where it felt like dance was the dominant chart genre again and it was brilliant <3 But they do need to be high quality and stand out in some way from the pack, as those two did. Then again, I'm Blue got to No.1 too and it was hardly the most innovative track ever, so maybe dance is just back in vogue! Brilliant, thank you, will add these all to my playlist of songs to check out.

It was only going to be her or Sam really and Sam is destined for the 2's isn't he 2. Sam Ryder - SPACE MAN 3. Holy Molly - Shot a friend yeah I get this is pretty generic but it's such a bop and I'm a fan of a lot of other Holy Molly tracks that I've heard too! 4. Naked Flames - 247 365 5. Jessica Winter - Choreograph 9. Hudson Mohawke - Bicstan 10. Cassie Raptor & Rebeka Warrior - O.B.I.C 11. Griff & Sigrid - Head on Fire 12. Krisu - The Ocean Sings to Me in Turquoise Waves 13. Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal - B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All) 16. southstar - Miss You the one that should have smashed and not Robber Schulz 17. Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero and Stephanie Beatriz - We Don't Talk About Bruno 18. P!nk - Never Gonna Not Dance Again nice to see this so high, she's only just been posted in mine at 53 and so you win here with more time she'd probably be outside the top 20 in mine too I'd say. 19. AR/CO - Call Me By My Name 20. LF SYSTEM - Afraid To Feel 21. Editors - Vibe sadly wasn't mad on this. Much prefer their oldies like 'Smokers...' etc but one of their other song I charted and quite enjoyed! 24. George Ezra - Anyone For You (Tiger Lily) should have been top 10 along with several other fab songs that missed top 10 this year. Seems people wanted childrens nursery rhymes instead 25. Giant Swan - 55 Year Old Daughter . what a iconic track 31. Cazzi Opeia - I Can't Get Enough I think I've heard this once but will need another listen. Then again I probably won't bother now oops. 32. Sigrid & Bring Me The Horizon - Bad Life 34. Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero 35. Cat Burns - go I did like this but it outstayed it's welcome a bit in the end 37. Paola & Chiara - Vamos a bailar (Esta vida nueva) spanish bop 41. Sam Ryder - All The Way Over he should stick to his own (good) tracks instead of the Medleys on NYE and this was beautiful 44. George Ezra - Green Green Grass Gorgeous George sits the kids down to read them a childrens story about Green Grass 46. Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf A Banana 48. Kohta Imafuku - Orihime what a sublime trance song 49. Genes - Crumble didn't think much of this actually in the end 50. Eline Noelia - Don't Pray For Me 55. Ava Max - Maybe You’re The Problem 61. Jessica Darrow - Surface Pressure 62. Alba August - Isabelle 67. PPJ - Neném 69. Skott - Sunshine this didn't really impress me in the end either but it also wasn't bad either. 70. Papa Dance - Nasz disneyland (Remix) 72. Rina Sawayama - Catch Me In The Air couldn't quite get into this one much preferred TH 74. Aamourocean - Parmi Les Mortels 76. Måneskin - SUPERMODEL 77. Calvin Harris with Dua Lipa & Young Thug - Potion 88. Nerina Pallot - There's A River I started playing 'Everyboy's Gone To War' last year and was reminded of how decent that was. A tad surprising it wasn't top 10 tbh. 89. Holy Molly & LIZOT - Sunday Night this is one of the good ones I was talking about. 91. Lost Frequencies & Calum Scott - Where Are You Now I guess he isn't with him then 94. The Jordan - The Room Fab chart Rich Cheers Rob! Yep, it seems Sam is always destined for 2, apart from 3 in my album chart of the year ;p I think Molly is a great little generic pop star, her songs are good fun and that's all you need sometimes. Oh yeah a late entry for P!nk there but i've played it a lot these past two months really, and heard it on the radio even more Yasss at Giant Swan, so pleased with how that went down on Unknown Pleasures! Oh yeah that's fair with Cat, I think for me the different remixes helped to prop it up, the piano version I love, and the drum and bass mix. Ha at George, I had a feeling people would be surprised to see Green Green Grass in here. He loves a catchy ditty. I agree that the other song should have been much bigger though, but why did he release a summer sounding song in January oops. Oops at Genes and Skott, I guess I overhyped them a bit, mind you the latter did pretty well in that pop contest. Oh agreed about Nerina, I still follow her career, although she hasn't done a song as good as that. When I first heard it in Asda all those years ago, I thought it was Sheryl Crow. Lol at Calum, he's lost him again.

I appreciate it a whole lot more now than I did though! 5. Jessica Winter - Choreograph 11. Griff & Sigrid - Head on Fire This is a great song. One of the surprises and highlights for me all last year. 13. Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal - B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All) 16. southstar - Miss You 17.

Ava Max - Maybe You’re The Problem The fact that this underperformed so much just baffles me. It's probably right up there at the top end of her best songs yet that didn't translate. I can't fault the song and there's nothing there really that should have put people off so what happened? This whole era has been a disaster for her. 61. Jessica Darrow - Surface Pressure 72. Rina Sawayama - Catch Me In The Air 80. Steps - After The Love Has Gone (Steps 25 Revisited Version) 85. Rihanna - Lift Me Up Nice picks!

Ahh I'm so glad you liked those, the challenge is on for me to find something similar during 2023, starting to really love music like that recently. Eliza definitely had the best UK No.1 of the year for me, what an instant classic <3 Ha, yes I think Potion would certainly be in a few more charts if it had been a top five hit! It's a smooth, funky summer groove, I really don't get the hate and never did. Ahh yeah, is that a well known song in South Africa? I know it's very old, I think it popped up on my Discover Weekly so there must be similar stuff I've been listening to for it to be recommended. Seems I favourited a song called Jona by Bernice West last year, I'll check out more of her stuff though - thanks! The song does sound familiar but I don't think it's particularly well known, perhaps it is with older generations. I think my late gran played a lot of Laurika's music around the house whenever I was there. I was surprised to see Jona being entered to the Popjustice contest. Afrikaans music always gets a bad rep here in SA, but Bernice is having a big crossover hit with a song called 'Lyfie' at the moment. The song is super cheesy but a massive earworm YMKtCAkLSU8

Glad you're liking SPACE MAN more these days, I liked it the first time I heard it but the performance for sure brought it to life. Yes Sigrid is so good, I wish Head On Fire and Bad Life had both been huge hits, rather than the flops they turned out to be Yeah, I agree about Anti-Hero, it's just so instant. No idea why Ava's career has gone off the boil, her songs used to pick up eventually but now never really do. Although the Christmas song almost went top 40 the other week! I headd Maybe You're The Problem in Asda earlier and it still absolutly bangs.

With the brass instrumentation, it sort of sounds a bit Christmassy. Funnily enough, I listened to Bernice's album a couple of days ago on your recommendation and Lyfie was the immediate standout for me, I love it Jona is good too though. I can't imagine she'd do much in BJSC sadly, Afrikaans music is a not too distant relative of schlager from Germany and that always flops.
