Rules this time...they have to be actually well known songs and not random disco house ones off Beatport...as much as I like those.

Yes, thank you...I notice you didn't include the Rudimental tune in your faves. Being funky house, it sounds more like an early 00s or mid 00s dance hit than one this decade and that's why I really like it.

Yes the Dua Lipa song I much prefer to her first one, Offaiah as I have said before sounds very early 2006 which I really like and John Gibbons is a funky dance version so had to include that given that I fondly remember the similar 2005 ones.

I much prefer Don't You Know to This Girl...nice retro sound almost like a record from the 70s with a dance beat on it.

I haven't listened to the new Rudimental song yet.

Hi TheSnake

Great choice of #1

Love Crank It (Woah!) a former #1 of mine

Don't You Know, Is This Love, Charlemagne, False Alarm & Trouble are all great too (as are most other songs in your chart)

Is the version of Who Knows you charted the original or the Shy FX remix? I prefer the original but the remix isn't bad

Great chart

Hello Snakey! Thought I'd do a massive comment on this

1. Can’t Hold Back – Kiko Bun
> Liked his last single, Sticky Situation and as far as I've heard on Radio 1, this is pretty good too.
2. Are We Ready (Wreck) – Two Door Cinema Club
> One of my favourite songs of the summer, the anthemic 'na na na''s in the chorus sung by kids really do it for me, what about you?
3. Blow Your Mind (Mwah) – Dua Lipa
> I LOVE this! Love the kind of speaking bit in the chorus, this is one of the pop songs of the year for me, in a year of little good pop tracks.
4. Healing – Rudimental ft J. Angel
> NEED to hear this, I'll report back when I do
5. Offaiah – Trouble
> Really decent track, between me and you this is VERY close to reaching my top 10 on my chart.
6. John Gibbons – Would I Lie To You
> Again, really good track, perfect in the sun, I like the isolated vocals after the chorus.
9. Where are You Now? – Lady Leshurr and Wiley
10. Tears – Clean Bandit ft Louisa Johnson
11. Crank It (Woah) – George Kwali, Kideko, Nadia Rose and Sweetie Irie
> I love this! So unique and refreshing.
12. Charlemagne – Blossoms
13. Who Do You Think Of?– MO
14. Don’t Be So Shy – Imany (Filatov and Karas remix)
15. Is This Love? – Bob Marley and The Wailers ft LVNDSCAPE and BOLIER
> Please smash (and climb in your chart! ) I love this, such a perfect summer tune and it's absolutely smashing it in the iTunes chart right now.
16. Friends With Benefits – KSI and MNDM
> Hehe, this is very good for a YouTuber's song.
17. False Alarm – Matoma and Becky Hill
> I bloody love this Her vocals never disappoint
18. Alarm – Anne-Marie
19. Don’t You Know – Kungs ft Jamie N’ Commons
20. Heathens – Twenty One Pilots
> YESSS at some top love, you obviously know how much I like them but I was shocked to see this here

Fantastic chart!

Thanks everyone....a few notes to answer....

The Proteje one is the original. I don't really like the Shy FX remix.

Didn't really notice the na na nas in Two Door, just like the song as it is nice and uplifting.

The KSI one I am a bit ashamed of liking (as it is a Youtuber song) but the beat is good and the lyrics are humorous so I included it.

Of course, Offaiah, John Gibbons, Clean Bandit, Rudimental, Imany and Kwali and co. bring the funky house to my chart that is needed. It seems funky house is undergoing a revival at the minute anyway so that's great .

Haven't listened to the Rudimental song in full but it has to enter high in my chart it is so funky and so early/mid 00s. Reminds me a bit of the likes of Tom Novy - Your Body back in 2005.

Is this Love? might climb a bit but I don't really like the pan pipe 'drop' much in the song but the rest of it is very funky indeed and of course Bob Marley's voice is great too.

Heathens is actually very good, much better than Stressed Out I think which I didn't really like.

And finally Kiko Bun took number 1 as it sounded like something from the 1980s when I heard it today for the first time on Radio 1 (which is great I like retro sounding music) and it is very catchy indeed.

Hey there TheSnake

'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' and 'Trouble' are the highlights of your top 5 for me! In fact I am listening to the former right now *.*

'Tears' is the other standout for me in your top 10! Clean Bandit have been such an exciting act over the past few years, I'm always hyped for new stuff by them.

Other faves: M.O, Imany and twenty one pilots! Great chart
