It's back - the most important EOY countdown on Buzzjack!! Let's celebrate the amazing music that got us through such a crappy year. This is a points chart based on all 52 Multicharts from the year 2020.

Dua Lipa had FIVE #1s (plus a 6th with 'Prisoner' which was too recent to feature here), which one will rank the highest here? Can she claim this #1 too or will another song get it? How high did 'Sweet Melody' manage to reach in just 9 weeks? All will be revealed by Seven, James and myself in due course.

We'll start with #75 through #71 tomorrow! Until then, here's how the Year-End Multichart looked in 2019:

71 600 Harry Styles - Golden (39-8-6-5-4-4-5-4-9-...) [9 wks]
72 597 Becky Hill & Sigala - Heaven On My Mind (21-13-11-6-8-11-12-18-31-44-64-xx) [11 wks]
73 595 The Killers - Caution (22-23-18-16-14-20-17-18-27-38-65-xx-39-xx) [12 wks]
74 584 Katy Perry - Smile (41-15-14-16-16-15-16-11-16-36-56-xx) [11 wks]
75 583 Jawsh 685 x Jason Derulo - Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat) (64-20-10-10-11-19-18-21-32-55-50-54-58-62-73-xx) [15 wks]

We start proceedings with Jason Derulo, who had probably the most surprising comeback of 2020 unless I'm forgetting someone obvious, with the help of Jawsh 685 and TikTok in general. Katy Perry spent 8 weeks in the top 20 with 'Smile', honestly not bad considering the severe lack of hype it had. The Killers also made a triumphant return and 'Caution' scrapes in at #73 here! Becky Hill finally started scoring hits as lead artist, here with Sigala returning the favor from last year's 'Wish You Well'. And Harry Styles makes the EOY with 'Golden', having charted just 9 weeks before the cutoff, and a solid #4 peak for a 5th single!

Posted by: JSG 26th January 2021, 09:16 AM

Yay for Savage love making it although I don't like that he's still doing a similar sound right now
Golden I still am yet to chart this but I'm glad it made it to the EOY!

Harry sneaking in

Posted by: SevenSeize 28th January 2021, 08:32 PM

66 626 Sam Smith & Demi Lovato - I'm Ready (17-10-14-10-13-14-21-20-26-24-41-xx) [11 wks]
67 623 Ava Max - Who's Laughing Now (29-20-20-20-18-13-17-16-20-36-40-49-68-xx-75-xx) [14 wks]
68 620 Harry Styles - Falling (…-22-17-15-17-21-29-23-27-29-27-47-53-71-xx) [13 wks]
69 610 Shawn Mendes - Wonder (32-13-8-8-9-11-15-19-31-31-51-74-xx) [12 wks]
70 602 Romy - Lifetime (31-33-16-15-14-14-12-17-18-21-57-62-...) [12 wks]

The xx vocalist Romy makes a nice surprise appearance with her euphoric single 'Lifetime', which managed a solid Top 20 run on here. Shawn Mendes lands at the lucky #69 position with 'Wonder', and Harry Styles is next with the third Fine Line single 'Falling', which peaked at #15 in both the Multi and Official charts. Ava Max laughs all the way to #67 with the first of her two entries here, followed by Sam & Demi's collab 'I'm Ready', it wasn't exactly a roaring success but it went Top 10 here so that's something

Posted by: JSG 29th January 2021, 08:25 AM

So I think I've heard two songs there
Wonder was nice at first but in hindsight, it was a very boring song. (Sorry Calum.)

Posted by: Jade 29th January 2021, 09:04 AM

Ooh I charted a few from that section *.* I think Romy was the highest as she made my top 5. Both that and the Jamie xx releases last year were really good - so ready for a fourth xx album whenever it's the right time 'Falling' was a stunning change of pace for Harry this era - I totally fell in love with it after the BRITs performance, I suppose it's almost a year since that now! 'Wonder' a great lead from Shawn that deserved a lot better.

Posted by: Bré 30th January 2021, 12:24 AM

Nice to see 'Caution', 'Golden' and 'Lifetime' making it in here! Love 'Falling' as well, and I still think 'Smile' is underrated and one of the few actually good songs from Katy's latest era ~

61 655 Joel Corry - Lonely (75-30-16-15-12-13-14-13-11-15-31-45-xx-68-69-75-59-xx) [16 wks]
62 652 Kygo x Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It (23-10-9-8-6-7-10-12-27-31-49-68-xx) [12 wks]
63 650 Jax Jones & Au/Ra - i miss u (35-14-11-7-9-11-10-11-18-24-36-...) [11 wks]
64 631 Troye Sivan - Easy (16-12-13-10-12-11-15-22-29-34-40-67-xx) [12 wks]
65 628 Ariana Grande - positions (6-3-3-3-5-6-7-10-13-...) [9 wks]

So first up, we have a song which I've never even heard of. I had no idea that he had released another single . Anyway, I've just listened to it. The uncredited vocalist is English singer Harlee, she sounds very much like Becky Hill, which is exactly who I thought it was until I looked her up. The song is very average imo but with a peak of #4 officially, who am I to disagree with the General Public? What's Love Got To Do With It makes a surprise appearance here, (at least to me) because it is also downright awful . I Miss You next and it is quite average, so average in fact, I've only just gotten round to charting it . Easy is fantastic although a peak of #10 really doesn't give that impression. The new version with Casey Mulgraves is superb. I Implore you all to listen, especially since i haven't heard the original . Positions, I am surprised is so low here. A peak of #3 and a chart run of nine weeks is still great and clearly Buzzjack likes it but this whole era has been overhyoed.

56 669 Kim Petras - Malibu (60-19-21-24-36-30-20-15-15-17-28-37-39-62-48-xx) [15 wks]
57 669 Little Mix - Sweet Melody (3-2-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-...) [9 wks]
58 668 Jason Derulo - Take You Dancing (75-35-23-21-16-14-10-9-14-13-16-33-44-73-xx) [14 wks]
59 667 Becky Hill - Space (34-25-11-7-10-10-13-15-17-24-38-41-...) [12 wks]
60 661 Ella Henderson - Take Care Of You (20-16-7-5-5-5-9-14-15-34-45-xx) [11 wks]

After six years, Ella Henderson finally resumed her solo career with 'Take Care Of You'. The general public may have overlooked it but Ella's still popular here as she scored three weeks in the top 5. From X Factor to The Voice, Becky Hill also earned a Multichart hit with a song that didn't do much officially. In fact 'Space' appears even higher than 'Heaven On My Mind' did! Proving his TikTok hit was no fluke, Jason Derulo had a second 2020 hit all on his own with 'Take You Dancing'. Believe it or not, 'Sweet Melody' was Little Mix's first Multichart #1 since 'Touch' in early 2017. With its first 9 weeks in the top 3, it does well to overcome the disadvantage most recent songs have in the EOY! Kim Petras rounds off this pop-heavy section with 'Malibu', spending 15 weeks on the chart while also peaking at #15

51 692 Zara Larsson - Love Me Land (21-7-16-10-13-13-15-24-19-31-38-47-43-75-xx) [14 wks]
52 689 Billie Eilish - No Time To Die (9-4-3-4-4-5-11-14-21-25-47-xx) [11 wks]
53 685 Jessie Ware - Spotlight (70-23-42-19-14-13-11-11-15-17-18-31-43-55-73-xx) [15 wks]
54 682 Cardi B feat. Megan Thee Stallion - WAP (23-10-10-8-8-8-5-15-19-30-38-58-74-xx) [13 wks]
55 672 RAYE - Natalie Don't (35-12-13-8-6-7-8-14-15-30-44-63-61-xx) [13 wks]

RAYE modern day take on Jolene with 'Natalie Don't' reached the Top 10 here, on the opposite side of this batch Zara Larsson's 'Love Me Land' also received far more appreciation from Buzzjack than with the general public. Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's 'WAP' on the other hand was a huge musical talking point this year, a smash hit that had the whole family singing along. Jessie Ware had a very successful album campaign in the Multi world, 'Spotlight' being the first of her appearances on here, while Billie Eilish's bond theme 'No Time To Die' sailed into the Top 10 for a handful of weeks

Posted by: JSG 7th February 2021, 10:01 AM

Natalie Don't was nice I guess but it didn't leave a massive impression on me
Also WAP probably my most hated song last year eep.

46 729 BLACKPINK - How You Like That (69-23-17-15-14-15-15-17-24-34-48-45-47-47-45-51-56-57-xx) [18 wks]
47 723 Mabel - Boyfriend (10-8-6-9-7-9-10-10-14-27-28-58-69-xx) [13 wks]
48 709 Tate McRae - you broke me first (72-31-19-20-21-15-10-10-14-17-22-20-49-56-55-xx) [15 wks]
49 697 Tame Impala - Lost In Yesterday (44-xx-33-12-14-14-10-12-17-15-12-22-39-47-xx) [13 wks]
50 697 Katy Perry - Daisies (14-8-7-5-4-7-9-11-18-25-31-xx) [11 wks]

And into the Top 50 we go!

So at #50 it's everyone's favourite Pussy. Katy Perry herself and of course I absolutely adore this track. It was #1 on my EOY 2020 and honestly, it's one of her most tolerable tracks. It's still on my own chart after all this time after all. I doubt you'd hear anyone else say nice words about this song though I need to listen to this Tame Impala song, give us a sec... oh another one for the 80's bandwagon? mind you this sounds slightly different to those other 80's revivalist tracks. More authentic? It's quite catchy as well . Of course, everyone knows the next one, You Broke Me First. I'm actually surprised to see this one sitting so low . I really enjoyed this, honestly although it was quite a boring track for me but given the praise from everyone else i was actually expecting this to be a no brainer for the top 20 EOY. Another one I don't know although everything I've heard of Mabel's has actually been decent. Listening to this now, I'm super surprised it managed to squeeze into the top 50. It sounds like the sort of song all the gays (myself included) would chart in the middle of summer. Am I right? I've not heard this BLACKPINK song either but I'm of the opinion that they are trash, which explains why I've not heard this one. Listening to this now, I think I judge too harshly This is actually really nice, well until the chorus creeps in, then i want to punch YouTube.

41 762 Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure? (39-14-20-31-43-35-24-17-17-20-26-28-32-34-45-45-60-xx) [17 wks]
42 760 24kGoldn feat. Iann Dior - Mood (62-28-24-12-13-9-10-9-13-20-29-35-29-67-63-52-64-69-...) [18 wks]
43 750 Camila Cabello feat. DaBaby - My Oh My (...-11-6-6-6-6-9-12-11-13-24-40-37-57-xx) [13 wks]
44 745 Paul Woolford, Diplo & Kareen Lomax - Looking for Me (53-48-36-35-35-21-20-18-18-17-18-22-20-38-49-46-74-55-xx) [18 wks]
45 732 Marshmello & Halsey - Be Kind (41-25-29-23-27-17-14-13-12-7-13-19-40-61-67-xx) [15 wks]

Buzzjackers were kinder to 'Be Kind' than the general public, it reached the Multichart top 10 but didn't come close on most countries' official charts! 'Looking For Me', on the other hand, had a surprisingly low peak on the Multichart, but with a lengthy chart run to compensate. 'My Oh My' was Camila's big hit on her Romance album, spending a month at its #6 peak. 24kGoldn's 'Mood' had a pretty quick climb here at first but ended up stalling at #9. And 'What's Your Pleasure' is Jessie Ware's second of three appearances - must admit I haven't listened to anything from her album but will certainly do so, having seen all the love for it here!

38 789 Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver - exile (23-17-14-14-22-17-17-15-23-22-30-29-37-42-55-65-62-xx-75-xx) [18 wks]

40 764 Billie Eilish - everything i wanted (...-2-3-3-3-3-4-9-12-16-21-29-43-xx) [12 wks]

Billie Eilish's 'everything i wanted' reached #2 in 2019, with most of its chart run carrying over into this year. Powfu & beabadoobee's TikTok-driven smash 'death bed' appeased coffee lovers everywhere, and Taylor Swift's folklore cut 'exile' handed Bon Iver his first Top 40 hit since Blood Bank in 2009. Jax Jones & Martin Solveig reunited to plague our eardrums with 'Tequila', while The 1975 scored their biggest Multi hit since Chocolate with 'If You're Too Shy' peaking at #5

31 843 Steps - What The Future Holds (13-10-3-5-7-4-9-19-15-23-30-23-46-40-50-xx) [15 wks]
32 833 Sam Smith - Diamonds (25-13-6-6-6-5-6-7-6-11-13-22-52-53-...) [14 wks]
33 816 Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé - Savage (56-48-59-21-9-7-10-10-12-9-11-14-10-27-36-61-xx) [16 wks]
34 810 Halsey - You should be sad (27-9-7-7-4-5-5-8-10-12-18-35-40-67-xx) [14 wks]
35 810 Kylie Minogue - Magic (5-2-2-3-4-5-5-7-8-15-26-50-46-...) [13 wks]

So Kylie returned this year and her second Single Magic makes it in at #35. I will add that this is her highest charting single from DISCO which just leaves me perplexed. It also charted at #2 in Scotland proving yet again that Scottish taste is superior (only because single #1 & 2 went top 5 here!).
I have heard of Halsey, but not this song, so I am going to listen to it now. I hate it. Jokes. I'm listening to it now. It's nice. I think? I'm guessing this flopped officially? yet it still went top 5 on BuzzJack. Shame on you BuzzJackians, Oooo Savage next. Fun Fact, i only know this song because of TikTok and I've never seen the video. I don't plan on watching it either because I am also Savage.
I'm not even gonna give Diamonds a comment xxx
Yay Steps! They returned in full force in 2020. Absolutely gaytastic music for the masses. This was the precursor to their best song in their whole entire discography 'Something In Your Eyes' which doesn't appear here BTW which i just realised. I am SAD NOW.

Posted by: dan :: G 17th February 2021, 09:21 AM

great to see Tequila top 40 and Looking for Me nearly there although not high enough to get a RotD AQ, oh well.
that Halsey song was actually quite a substantial official chart hit.

Posted by: Bré 18th February 2021, 11:13 PM

The Scottish chart doesn't include streams (and in fact I think it's literally a physical-only chart now? lol), it's not a matter of 'taste' x

'exile' making the top 40 here despite not being a single, we love to see it

Posted by: coi 19th February 2021, 12:04 AM

Well spotted, it appears the Scottish singles chart is no more, it was including downloads up to and including 13th November 2020, appeared to go physical only for the three weeks after that, and hasn't updated since then (4th December)

'Adore You' by Harry Styles cracks our top 30 with an impressive five weeks at #4! Just ahead of it is New Zealand artist BENEE, whose 'Supalonely' became a TikTok hit in the early stages of the pandemic and saw chart success as a result, including a top 10 Multichart peak. Kylie Minogue is still popular enough on Buzzjack for Multichart #1s, as evidenced by 'Say Something' which kicked off her DISCO era last year. While London Grammar's latest lead single wasn't quite a #1, 'Baby It's You' was still very well-received and easily their biggest Multichart hit to date - 9 weeks top 10! Another comeback single rounds out this section, 'React' was the Pussycat Dolls' first single in a decade and fell just short of #1 here, blocked by 'Physical'.

Posted by: Nick F1 19th February 2021, 10:36 AM

Aww hoped that React will reach top 20 :/

Doja Cat's banger Boss Bitch spent a good few months yo-yoing around the Top 40, eventually landing on a Top 20 peak. Topic & A7S' inferior Ocean Drive copy 'Breaking Me' is #25, with Becky Hill's Better Off Without You a few spots higher- which gave produer Shift K3Y a return to the charts. Clean Bandit & Mabel's Tick Tock is also here, a #2 hit thankfully held off by none other than Miley Cyrus. Last up is Little Mix's Break Up Song, which eventually crept up to a #4 peak, they still have one song remaining...

'Boss Bitch' having incredible longevity to make up for that underwhelming peak *.*

Dynamite was a certified bop (that I didn't even enter onto my personal chart oops!) Was this BTS' first foray into the mainstream chart in the UK? I'll never know because I didn't check .
Save A Kiss Here it is. The most Important and best song of 2020! Jessie Ware is an Icon. I think I'd love to meet her, honestly. Maybe she could write a song about me, Call it 'Gay Boy!'.
Holiday is a cute song I guess. i know that this was popular on Buzzjack, Evidently! but for me, it was just alright. I feel like up until this point, Little Mix had become unrecognisable as a British Girl Band, In My Opinion at least.
Cardigan It's such a beautiful song, from a beautiful album. Folklore was Taylors first attempt at a folk/pop album although it did sound not too dissimilar to her earlier stuff. I am chomping at the bit for a proper pop album now though.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) i've not heard this song at #16. I've not liked any of raye's stuff. So here we have a song by the artist Raye who I dislike. If this song IS good and someone can convince me, i'll give it a listen!

Posted by: LMLou 3rd March 2021, 01:46 PM

Surprised to see Holiday above Break Up Song, the latter seem to be received a lot better here.

We have double Dua and double Gaga in this section! 'Stupid Love' was blocked from #1 by none other than 'Physical' but managed a strong finish here. 'Head & Heart' was equally massive on the Multichart but blocked from #1 by two songs - 'Rain On Me' and 'Hallucinate'. Speaking of Dua, 'Don't Start Now' fell just short of the 2019 EOY due to its mid-Q4 release, so #13 for 2020 is a respectable result! 'Break My Heart' beats it by just one place but nearly 100 points, and just one point shy of 'Rain On Me'. How surprised are we that 'Rain On Me' missed the top 10!? Unfortunately it dropped out a little too quickly after those 10 weeks at #1.

Posted by: Jason 6th March 2021, 05:36 PM

I'm surprised all these songs (from 11 to 15) are not top 10 tbh.

10 1353 Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky (8-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-4-4-4-6-7-6-18-21-...) [19 wks]

The most recent of our Top 10 entries - Miley Cyrus further proved the retro synthpop revival was the best thing that could've happened to the charts, by releasing her opus 'Midnight Sky'. It deservedly clocked eight weeks at #1 on the Multichart, her fifth time reaching the top spot

Posted by: Nick F1 15th March 2021, 08:11 PM

Shocking and very welcomed results

Great to see Midnight Sky in top 10

I've never been a massive fan of Harry Styles Music, so to see this Top 10 was rather disappointing especially since I don't particularly like the song at all either. He has released some amazing stuff after this so perhaps I'm coming around to supporting him now. I fully expect to see Two song by Harry on the EOY Multi 2021.

8 1429 SAINt JHN - Roses (Imanbek Remix) (51-29-13-11-8-8-9-9-8-6-5-6-9-9-11-13-13-22-27-43-31-32-41-46-35-52-xx) [26 wks]

'Roses' was a unique and somewhat unexpected UK #1 and managed top 5 in the US as well. It was well-received on Buzzjack too with six months on the Multichart, 10 weeks in the top 10 and a peak of #5. We're starting to hear more hit songs that sound like this now! Production-wise at least, not so much the high-pitched vocal

Posted by: Bré 20th March 2021, 09:36 PM

I think the 'slap house' trend is at risk of becoming stale really quickly - if not arguably having done so already - but 'Roses' as the originator of it has been an enduringly fantastic song for me, it only peaked at #8 for me but deserved a lot higher in retrospect.

'Watermelon Sugar' and 'Midnight Sky' are both good tunes too (although I thought both had better songs from their respective albums) so a good top 10 thus far ~

One of The Weeknd's two entries in the top 10 is here~ pushed as a single following the release of 'After Hours', In Your Eyes ranked an impressive 15 weeks inside the top five with a #2 peak (finishing ahead of Dua's Break Your Heart here which held it off)

6 1487 The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (...-3-2-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-4-6-7-7-9-11-16-19-20-20-21-28-57-70-45-58-xx) [24 wks]

The Weeknds best song enters here at #6, narrowly missing the Top 5 by a mere 45 points which is a shame, because this song is infinitely better than the song to come next. Yes, this very well may be the highlight of his career. It isn't too dissimilar to anything he's released before but it's easy to see why it's so popular with the 80's influence and synths running throughout.

Posted by: Riser 30th March 2021, 01:57 AM

Too low!!!1

Pretty amazing that 'In Your Eyes' was just 4 points away from finishing AHEAD of 'Blinding Lights'!

Pop the champagne and raise a toast! 'Kings & Queens' has made the year-end top 5 despite not making the top 5 at all during the year, instead stalling at #6 for a month. This is by far Ava's highest peak on the EOY, beating the #30 finish of 'So Am I' last year. This chart run is a bit closer to what the song deserved officially, I'm sure we can all agree x

The fourth single taken from Future Nostalgia, Hallucinate had a relatively limited push (it did get a pretty cool animated video though) but inevitably rose to #1 on the Multichart anyway. There's even more Dua to come...

Physical slaying like it should be, doing here what it should have done officially and hitting the #1 spot. For 10 weeks no less! It's a crime that this didn't hit #1 officially and an even bigger crime that it almost didn't do very well at all. This for me and I'm sure quite a few others is Dua's best song to date. Assuming she's nearly done with this current campaign, I look forward to whatever she does in the future.

Posted by: RobBot 15th April 2021, 03:54 PM

Posted by: LMLou 16th April 2021, 10:14 AM

I really expected to see Physical at #1 too, it seemed to be the defining Buzzjack song of the year. I couldn’t work out for the life of me what the top 2 could be but I think I’ve got it now

2 1720 Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby - Levitating (20-17-13-16-23-54-59-32-35-48-47-xx-19-13-26-27-25-26-28-7-3-2-1-1-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-...) [30 wks]

Another Dua song falls short of #1 'Levitating' is the highest (no pun intended) one because it had not only its lengthy top 10 run (its reign at #1 was cut short by 'Sweet Melody'), but also its initial chart run from when the album was first released, plus its initial re-entry from the Blessed Madonna remix. So combined it had 30 weeks on the Multichart just last year! But I can say it wasn't particularly close to the final song, the EOY #1, which is...a bit of a shocker, but we all love surprises, right? Stay tuned!

Taken from her 2019 album Hot Pink, Doja Cat's 'Say So' gained traction on TikTok and gradually turned into one of 2020's biggest songs. You wouldn't expect a #4 peak to translate to an EOY #1, but longevity is the key - spending a huge 18 weeks inside the top ten (with only one week outside the top 40 in its entire run), enough to overcome DuaMania and clinch the top spot!

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th April 2021, 11:01 PM

I wouldn't have expected that but WHAT A SONG! a worthy winner and that longevity really is amazing

Thanks for hosting this guys

Dua Lipa being #1 on the Multichart for like half the year and not actually getting the end of year #1 *_* 'Say So' is a worthy champion though x
