Really? For me What if this is all the love is an 11/10
The lyrics are incredible, touches all the right buttons
In my top 3 SP songs ever, Ive even now learnt it on guitar and its amazing to
play and sing, love the desperation of the lyrics, the Im in the yurRuins part, a song that really comes from the guts
Dont give in is a 10/10 but i dont connect so much
Empress maybe an 8

Funnily Life on Earth and Heal me are my least favourites

48 Everything Everything - Breadwinner 140
49 U.S. Girls - Rosebud 140
50 Iglooghost - Clear Tamei 140


Icelandic musician Ólafur Arnalds dropped his latest album re:member last year, some late votes bring his two entries here to the edge of the top 40. Some personal favourites in this batch from Everything Everything, US Girls and Iglooghost plus a very good album track from Let’s Eat Grandma *.*



31 The Vaccines - I Can't Quit 186
32 Pale Waves - Noises 185
33 Sufjan Stevens - Mystery Of Love 182

39 Yves Tumor - Lifetime 153
40 twenty one pilots - Levitate 153


Yves Tumor sneaks into the top 40 with Lifetime, a dark and passionate track with some fantastic drumming. Empress ranks the highest of Snow Patrol’s Wildness singles, and rock band Badflower scored a popular BJSC hit with Ghost. Superorganism are also here with their typically quirky and infectious tune plus Sufjan Stevens with the beautiful Mystery Of Love from the Call Me By Your Name soundtrack

21 The 1975 - Give Yourself a Try 225
22 IDLES - Danny Nedelko 224
23 James Bay - Pink Lemonade 223
24 Mitski - Geyser 216
25 Lykke Li - Deep End 210
26 The Interrupters - She's Kerosene 204
27 Friendly Fires - Love Like Waves 203
28 Florence + The Machine - Hunger 199
29 Jade Bird - Love Has All Been Done Before 188
30 Mitski - Nobody 186


Double Mitski in the top 30, including the short but stunning Geyser. We also have rising singer-songwriter Jade Bird, ska punk band The Interrupters with the energetic She’s Kerosene, Lykke Li making a turn for r&b pop on Deep End, and the returning Friendly Fires with their brand of danceable indie pop. Pink Lemonade is the popular pick from James Bay’s sophomore album and IDLES score a pleasingly high result with their TUNE Danny Nedelko

16 Bring Me the Horizon - MANTRA 243
17 Lana Del Rey - Venice Bitch 237
18 CHVRCHES - Miracle 235
19 Young Fathers - In My View 234
20 Beach House - Lemon Glow 231


Beach House’s hypnotic dream pop track Lemon Glow gets some much deserved love here, buy ‘7’ On iTunes x In My View makes the top 20 for Edinburgh’s experimental hip hop trio Young Fathers, along with CHVRCHES’ Miracle (where are the other Love Is Dead singles tho?), Lana Del Rey’s ten minute psychedelic trip Venice Bitch and Bring Me The Horizon’s comeback single MANTRA



11 Thom Yorke - Suspirium 270
12 ROSALÍA - MALAMENTE 266
13 Metric - Dressed to Suppress 264
14 Lana Del Rey - Mariners Apartment Complex 264
15 The 1975 - TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME 262


The 1975’s ‘TOOTIME’ is the third highest of their entries. More Lana next, Mariners Apartment Complex is one of my faves from her with its soft orchestral backing and uplifting lyrics. Indie rockers Metric’s Dressed To Suppress has proven very popular on buzzjack, followed by flamenco pop singer ROSALÍA who continued her ascent last year with tracks like MALAMENTE, and Thom Yorke’s Suspirium, taken from the Suspiria soundtrack

Great to see Mantra finish as high as #16, it’s a shame that Suspirium just missed out on the top ten though.

Love those entries from The 1975, BMTH and Chvrches!

I'm trying to think what could be #1!

Well done 'Blood // Water' and 'For Now' getting near/over 100 points with only 3-4 voters. Wow at 'Lifetime' top 40! My Mitski preference won out with 'Geyser' higher, but my favourite of The 1975's 2018 singles is their lowest, aww. Hope my least favourite ('It's Not Living...') isn't the highest. Good to see 'Venice Bitch' top 20 after bafflingly being eliminated first round in that Lana singles poll kink.gif Surprised 'Mariners Apartment Complex' is higher though because that one seems a lot more missable to me.

so many of my big favourites gone
Snow Patrol - Don't Give In, thought this would easily be top 10
also Rosalia - Malamente, I even thought she might be the #1
same for Sufjan - Mystery of love... a sorta lost classic...

same for Young Fathers, but maybe people are not very familiar with the song and people in here seems to be voting what they already know without venturing to listen to new stuff

10 Billie Eilish - you should see me in a crown 284

9 Let's Eat Grandma - Falling Into Me 299

8 Christine and the Queens - Doesn't matter 303

Billie Eilish kicks off the top 10 with You Should See Me In a Crown, the first of her two tracks here. In a very pleasant surprise Let's Eat Grandma grab 9th with Falling Into Me, a highlight from the duo's bizarre and brilliant second album I'm All Ears. Christine & The Queens' Doesn't Matter is my personal favourite from the Chris era, she also has another track left

Not really a fan of any of those 3!

To be fair, there were 104 entries tongue.gif

Of course people will vote for the ones they know.

thats the wrong approach
there was plenty of time so that people could listen to the songs multiple times and get familiar with them
otherwise you just favour the popular super famous songs by the popular super famous bands

7 twenty one pilots - Jumpsuit 312

6 Christine and the Queens - Girlfriend (feat. Dâm-Funk) 312

5 The 1975 - Love It If We Made It 325


Following their mainstream breakthrough, twenty one pilots opt for a heavier rock sound on Jumpsuit. Christine & The Queens scores the same for synth funk jam Girlfriend, and The 1975’s anthem of modern society Love It If We Made It enters the top 5

4 The 1975 - It's Not Living (If It's Not With You) 335

3 Arctic Monkeys - Four Out of Five 337


The 1975’s euphoric tune ‘It’s Not Living’ ranks as their highest here <3 Arctic Monkeys’ Four Out Of Five, the main single from their 6th album is a more laidback affair for them, though does carry a sarcastic charm

5 fantastic songs there! Can't think what else is left for the top 2, but I imagine Billie has won now

I think it's when the party's over against We Appreciate Power then... a very good top two, happy with either of them winning!

2 Grimes feat. HANA - We Appreciate Power 367

Three years after Art Angels, Grimes finally returned with an electro industrial stomper in the form of We Appreciate Power *.* can only wait and pray her upcoming album lives up to this standard



1 Billie Eilish - When The Party's Over 371

Billie takes the crown with When The Party’s Over! One of the tracks that helped her rise to pop stardom, this sparse and striking ballad became her first top 40 single

Ah shit wish I have WAP more points! When The Party's Over is easily the worst out of the top 10.
