18. Until The End (with Sub Focus) (4.96)
17. Just One Yesterday (with Fall Out Boy) (5.5)
16. Wildstar (with Giorgio Moroder) (5.9)
15. Right Here (with Rudimental) (6.03)

Our first 4 that leave us are 4 of her collabs, 3 with DJs and one with Fall Out Boy (?). None of these are standouts of her career for me so think most of their placements are all justified. All apart from Wildstar which like everything off that album- is absolutely fabulous to me and I'd have loved to see it in her top 10 for sure!

What will be the next 4 songs to leave us, just before we get to our top 10?

14. Oasis (with Kygo) (6.5)
13. Shaking Heads (6.73)
12. Devil Side (7.06)
11. Feet Don’t Fail Me Now (7.25)


Our 4 songs that leave us before our top 10 features the last non-Clarity collab to leave our list (Oasis), a promotional single that deserved a lot better in the form of Shaking Heads, Foxes’ most-streamed non-Clarity song (an absolutely WILD fact to me) in Devil Side and finally before our top 10 we lose one of my personal favourite pop songs of the last decade- Feet Don’t Fail Me Now is such a fun, classic pop song over that piano and booming claps and drums and the intense vocals at the end- a career highlight for sure imo.

10. Amazing (7.56)
9. Better Love (7.59)


At numbers 10 and 9 we lose 2 very feel-good classic pop bangers. Amazing is very on-the-nose positive, uplifting pop music 101 really and has never really been one of my personal favourites by her really. Better Love however I think is absolutely LUSH and the tiny runs she does on “don’t ask me how” and “when you lay me down” are superb. Better Love peaked at number 48 in the U.K. which is actually surprising to me I thought it had done a lot worse, the song features backing vocals from Dan from Bastille which are very very noticeable- even before I knew the fact I could hear them!

What will drop next?

8. Glorious (8)
7. Clarity (with Zedd) (8.53)


That’s right! We lose Clarity- Foxes’ worldwide SMASH collab with Zedd at only number 7- the song won a Grammy for Best Dance Recording but sadly couldn’t even make top 6 in this countdown thanks to the -1 score it was awarded! Glorious also puts up a good fight finishing at number 8- an underrated bop from her but finishes pretty much where I’d rank it myself too!

'Clarity' only #7, good grief. I blame whoever was responsible for that -1.

'Body Talk' MUST win!

Better Love is STUNNING. Clarity would have been top 5 if Sam had taste x

This deserved Top 5. It should have won besides that.

6. Love Not Loving You (8.72)

Finishing outside of our top 5 is latest single, Love Not Loving You! I’m honestly a big fan of this song I think it was an excellent comeback single; even if it doesn’t look like it will set the charts alight- it’s classic Foxes but still a new sound for her and I’m happy to see it do this well in the rate- particularly over Glorious and of course Clarity!

It's a great comeback, but if I'm being honest it's already burning out on me slightly.

5. Let Go For Tonight (8.78)

Opening our top 5 is the wonderfully happy single off her debut album, Let Go For Tonight. This was my first introduction to Foxes after it appeared on NOW 87 (because I always skipped Youth on NOW 86 which I now love and realise I shouldn’t have done oops). What a fun, classic pop song and the music video is the exact same, this has been featured as a soundtrack for countless tv shows too- a true classic! This was also a cute little top 10 hit in the U.K. peaking at number 7

4. Holding Onto Heaven (8.81)

In 4th is the glorious (pun intended) Holding Onto Heaven that received a fairly impressive score of 8.81. I personally would have put this further down the list, it’s not a favourite of mine (Wildstar was robbed) but definitely isn’t bad at all and definitely a deserved singles choice off the almost impeccable Glorious era!

So our final 3 are-
Body Talk
Cruel
Youth

3. Cruel (8.89)
Next up is one of my absolute favourites, Cruel. I’m really happy to see this outperform such hits as Clarity and Let Go For Tonight which are clearly more commercially successful than this glitchy electronic number. This was an instant fave upon the release of her second album All I Need for me, I was instantly hooked by the chopped up vocals and that brilliant string-soundtracked middle 8!
