Lucy Spraggan – Balance Commentary Tension...what an album! A very easy and clear end of year No.1 for Kylie, with her best album since Aphrodite, which topped my 2010 end of year chart. A brilliant mix of new and contemporary sounds that bagged her a couple of big hit singles, plus the 80s and 90s infleunce seen on Kylie's last few albums. It is very nearly unskippable for me and I also loved Extension - the extended mix album just as much. dodie's new band FIZZ are in a distant second but nevertheless provided a really excellent debut album, with influences clearly ranging from Alphabeat to Queen and any late 90s pop band too. Ed Sheeran has had a poor year by his standards but I thought his - (Subtract) album was very hard done by commercially. A really quite engaging album with darker lyrics than usual and some lovely melodies. It deserved to do a lot better and was easily the better of his two albums released this year. However, I did prefer nearly every song on it to the hit single Eyes Closed, which didn't fit in with the rest of the album at all. Take That's This Life, at No.4 here, was probably their best studio album since Progress - clearly a long way behind the majesty of that opus but still better than III and Wonderland. It was nice to see some sonic similarities to Beautiful World and The Garden on this. And Carly Rae Jepsen rounds off the top five with The Loveliest Time, which I far preferred to its prequel, The Loneliest Time - absolutely full of big pop choruses and sublime production, as ever. Also in the top ten this year are 1989 (Taylor's Version) - boosted by some great tracks from the American superstar's Vault - the original album was No.4 in my end of year 2014 chart. Also Aly & AJ, who were a revelation when I saw them live supporting Take That earlier this year - I really adore their Fleetwood Mac vibes these days. The solid new albums from P!nk and Kelly Clarkson are also top ten, and sandwiched in between is an odd but brilliant little collection of AI-assisted electronic music from Headache.

George Clanton – I Been Young Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4FMTb2brT...db245bc484f45cf Commentary: For the second year in a row, Sweden's Eurovision entry (and the winner of Melodifestivalen) tops my end of year chart. But this time it's a BIG one - returning legend Loreen (of Euphoria fame - her 2012 Eurovision winner and my second favourite song of all-time) dished out another all-time classic in the shape of the brilliant Tattoo, which was a bit more mysterious than Euphoria but just as artistic and with evidently even more commercial potential - with it peaking at No.2 in the UK. An absolute stormer of a track, from the subtle verses to the powerful chorus to the Frozen-esque slow down before it explodes to its finale. This is easily my favourite song released so far this decade and Loreen repeats her 2012 end of year No.1 feat. A rather distant second, but not at all unimpressively, the now veteran power combo of Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding have delivered a couple of solid collaborations before, but Miracle was the one where they finally went all the way to No.1 in the UK...because the time was finally here to bring trance back into the mainstream. Of course it was going to be Calvin that did this, and he certainly delivered with this dream trance/Robert Miles influenced beauty. Ellie's silky voice glides effortlessly over a pulsating production which absolutely deserved all of the success it had. The previous highs for both Calvin and Ellie in my end of year chart were No.3, for One Kiss in 2018 for the former and Love Me Like You Do in 2015 for the latter. And roudning off my most commercial end of year top three since 2011 (The A Team/Moves Like Jagger/On The Floor) is the absolute sensation of a comeback single from Kylie Minogue. Now in her mid-50s, the Australian superstar proved again that she is ageless and that her success is eternal when she unexpectedly wheeled out a modern slap house banger for the summer. Padam Padam is her coolest single for many, many years, easily the biggest earworm of the year and famously spent a month in the UK top ten, with 'padam' becoming a meme in itself. As with last year, five BJSC entries finish in my top ten of the year, although unusually two of these were not my entries. In fact, the highest of them all is from Roba's Summericia - Nabihah Iqbal's Zone 1 to 6000 is strongly challenging as the greatest song I've ever discovered in 16 years of participating in this contest. Dating back to 2017, this very relateable tale (to me at least) of the bland 9 to 5, tedious rat race life, delivered in a spoken/electronic style, was a very deserved winner in the first contest of the year, and a song that has stuck with me all year. While down at No.7 - just to prove that if you send a spoken word entry I'll likely be all over it - is the mesmerising The Beginning of the End by Headache, a song whose vocal was astonishingly created by AI. Perhaps the most affecting piece of music I've heard this year, Dandy's Fljótavík finished 2nd with this but it really deserved to go one higher. The highest of my own entries was dodie's band FIZZ with the summer pop/indie anthem High In Brighton, which tanked in its final, but who cares - this is a slice of joy which I absolutely love, and it's nice to have my place of birth mentioned in my top five of the year too. And another flop ends up in 10th place - the absolutely gorgeous and heartbreaking Please Don't Die from Rhythm Method, who have been threatening a major hit in my chart for years and now finally achieve it. But of course, the tail of FSR Rontvia in recent times has been our unrivalled ability to finish 2nd, yet without ever winning. Both of my silver medallists from 2023 are high up, but of course it's the epic nine-minute world music stunner Voryva from Dzivia which finishes inside the top ten, at No.9. The remaining two slots in the top ten are a high finish for a chart dance song - Peggy Gou's ATB inspired (It Goes Like) Nanana was one of the summer's most excellent singles and deservedly finishes at No.6 here, while also of course making the top ten is Finland's Eurovision entry, Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä, which unsurprisingly stormed the public vote in Liverpool, but the juries weren't as kind to this insane track and it finished 2nd overall - still, a great entry, unforgettable staging and quite something to witness live. It even peaked at No.6 in the UK, which is clearly unheard of for a Finnish language song. It's been a far better year for mainstream songs in my end of year chart this year, partly due to Eurovision having a historically successful year commercially, but other big hits that also crossed over into my affections included Sam Ryder's Alexa-assisted Christmas No.2 (No.17), the ever wonderful Dua Lipa's double (No.31 and 32), Billie Eilish's beautiful Barbie soundtrack No.1 (No.34) and a trio of hits from the brilliant Olivia Rodrigo (No.54, 73 and 79), as well as some of the year's biggest sellers from Miley Cyrus (No.60), Taylor Swift (No.63), RAYE (No.65), PinkPantheress (No.83), and Kenya Grace (No.89). Germany's biggest seller of the year, which spent something ridiculous like six months at No.1 there, is also in for Udo Lindenberg & Apache 207 (No.49).

baddest of them all Joined: 2 August 2008 Posts: 21,776 User: 6,764	Hey Rich! Stanning the 🇿🇦 representation here! Lyfie is that bop and especially LOVING the surprise NKD appearance. All 3 members were in the top 12 of an early season of SA Idols. I remember voting for Nicky from the group on my Nokia every night at the time It was so cool to see them form a girl band after the show and have a huge hit with What I Believe, but then they sadly faded into obscurity after that. I was also considering that track for BJSC back in 2009 around the time of Jamali, Jody. I might have missed out on a SA hit it seems!

Kylie Minogue – Hold On To Now 91. Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Breaking the Circle 93. Billy Gillies feat Hannah Boleyn - DNA (Loving You) Great stuff! Tension is a brilliant #1 album of the year too Thanks Joseph! Yes despite Tattoo probably being my favourite song released in at least the last five years, I do still prefer Euphoria - such is the quality of Loreen when she's firing on all cylinders . Oh true yeah, Delta really needs to get another single out, presumably the album will be out this year. Yes, agreed about Freya - nice enough album but this was the definite high point and the rest of the album wasn't as strong as the debut at all. I thought Michael was so good live, such an enjoyable little gig when I saw him in August, Cheating and Girlfriends are two of the catchiest pop songs of the year, I still can't believe with his great voice, personality and online following that he hasn't broken through commercially properly yet. Agreed about Theoz, a definite step up and another of the catchiest songs of the year - despite not being in English! Yeah I'd say This Life is a little bit of an outlier, it seems to be the most jolly song on the album by some distance. I love the album but it's quite a serious affair compared to their last few. Glad they seem more prominent again this era than with Wonderland though, even if clearly they'll never get back to the highs of the late noughties. I love Tension so much, it's definitely my favourite Kylie album since Aphrodite <3 QUOTE(Dappy New Year @ Jan 5 2024, 02:56 PM) here's my faves of your top 100! 1. Loreen – Tattoo -> I didn't end up loving this quite as much as Euphoria but it was still one of the very best Eurovision entries we've had, was quite a moment seeing this (and yay for Kaarija top 10 too) 2. Calvin Harris with Ellie Goulding - Miracle -> yay for two top 10 matches here with this and Peggy, both very much stand out commercial dance tracks of the 2010s 3. Kylie Minogue – Padam Padam 4. Nabihah Iqbal – Zone 1 to 6000 6. Peggy Gou – (It Goes Like) Nanana 7. Headache – The Beginning of the End 8. Käärijä – Cha Cha Cha 9. Dzivia – Voryva -> I think this ended up being my top BJSC discovery of the year yay 12. Billx & Otyken - My Wing (Rave Music Edit) 14. The Kiffness – Sometimes I'm Alone (Lonely Cat) 16. Annalisa – Mon Amour 18. Kylie Minogue – Tension 20. Freya Ridings – Weekends 21. Powerwolf – Sainted by the Storm 22. Zaho de Sagazan – Tristesse 24. Alessandra – Queen of Kings 28. P!nk – TRUSTFALL 31. Dua Lipa – Houdini 32. Dua Lipa – Dance The Night 39. Cher – DJ Play A Christmas Song 44. Gustaph – Because Of You 51. Blümchen – Herz an Herz 58. Bizarrap & Shakira - Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol.53 60. Miley Cyrus – Flowers 63. Taylor Swift – Cruel Summer 65. RAYE feat 070 Shake - Escapism. 68. TEYA & SALENA - Who The Hell Is Edgar? 79. Olivia Rodrigo – Can’t Catch Me Now 82. Taylor Swift – All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) 83. PinkPantheress feat Ice Spice - Boy's a liar Pt.2 89. Kenya Grace – Strangers 90. Kylie Minogue – Hold On To Now 93. Billy Gillies feat Hannah Boleyn - DNA (Loving You) -> really excited by this being a big chart hit too 99. Sub Sub – Southern Trees -> oh my at this ending up doing better here than in my EOY chart (may've stuck around for me a bit longer if it didn't unjustly DNQ I guess) 100. George Clanton – I Been Young Thanks Dan! Yeah agreed, I do still prefer Euphoria but for me that's an almost impossible bar to reach, being my 2nd favourite song of all-time. Agreed, absolutely obsessed with Miracle and (It Goes Like) Nanana, two fantastic dance hits. A few years ago there's just no way that this and DNA would have been as big. So glad to see that about Voryva, you're the second person that's mentioned that, and somebody else said it was in their top five discoveries, which is so pleasing to see <3 Southern Trees was absolutely and ridiculously robbed, what a stunning track! Thank you for the introduction and I'm sorry it didn't end up paying off for you. It's pretty unusual for 'foreign' DNQs to make my end of year chart at all but this year a couple did, some of the 2023 results left a lot to be desired. QUOTE(k👠th @ Jan 5 2024, 04:39 PM) Hey Rich! Stanning the 🇿🇦 representation here! Lyfie is that bop and especially LOVING the surprise NKD appearance. All 3 members were in the top 12 of an early season of SA Idols. I remember voting for Nicky from the group on my Nokia every night at the time It was so cool to see them form a girl band after the show and have a huge hit with What I Believe, but then they sadly faded into obscurity after that. I was also considering that track for BJSC back in 2009 around the time of Jamali, Jody. I might have missed out on a SA hit it seems! Thanks Kath! Ha yes, Lyfie is such a super infectious song and dance routine. What I Believe I stumbled across during a YouTube trawl last year and it felt to me like something Atomic Kitten might have released in 2003/4? Nicky even reminds me of Natasha Hamilton vocally. I love it and even got hold of the South African Now album that features the song, as of course it's not on Spotify here, and their own album cost a ridiculous amount to buy. I think in 2009 it could have done pretty well in BJSC! Probably not these days though. Good to see the famous Nokia get another mention .

Loreen – Tattoo hard to deny this being your #1 really and I have no qualms with it either as it's a better song of hers for me 2. Calvin Harris with Ellie Goulding - Miracle fabulous track! 3. Kylie Minogue – Padam Padam SLAYLIE, shame she didn't get her deserved uk chart EOY result but this was such a triumph for her and at 55 years old too . 4. Nabihah Iqbal – Zone 1 to 6000 can't believe this has finished above all your own BJSC entries last year. A true testament this is. Such a mysterious track and no doubt the video with her walking through London streets emphasises things just that bit more! 5. FIZZ – High In Brighton this was rather fun! 6. Peggy Gou – (It Goes Like) Nanana what a anthem. 7. Headache – The Beginning of the End 8. Käärijä – Cha Cha Cha a major highlight from Eurovision and my highest placed as you'll see when you look at mine 9. Dzivia – Voryva <3 truly epic track this was. Deserved to win as well as Nyteout! 10. The Rhythm Method – Please Don't Die still can't believe this had music over some retro 90's WWF/E interview/clips and considering the characters a very accurate song! 12. Billx & Otyken - My Wing (Rave Music Edit) yeah apologies but didn't feel this one sadly but glad it was another big hit for you! 13. Mae Muller – I Wrote A Song 14. The Kiffness – Sometimes I'm Alone (Lonely Cat) 16. Annalisa – Mon Amour 17. Sam Ryder – You’re Christmas To Me 18. Kylie Minogue – Tension 20. Freya Ridings – Weekends 21. Powerwolf – Sainted by the Storm 22. Zaho de Sagazan – Tristesse 24. Alessandra – Queen of Kings 26. Brutalismus 3000 – Romantika 27. Of Wild – Haddaway 28. P!nk – TRUSTFALL 31. Dua Lipa – Houdini 32. Dua Lipa – Dance The Night 34. Billie Eilish – What Was I Made For? 39. Cher – DJ Play A Christmas Song iconic to see Cher grab a top 20 hit every decade and then! 44. Gustaph – Because Of You 51. Blümchen – Herz an Herz 54. Olivia Rodrigo – vampire 57. Willow Kayne – White City 58. Bizarrap & Shakira - Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol.53 59.

TEYA & SALENA - Who The Hell Is Edgar? 73. Olivia Rodrigo – bad idea right? 79. Olivia Rodrigo – Can’t Catch Me Now 82. Taylor Swift – All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) 83. PinkPantheress feat Ice Spice - Boy's a liar Pt.2 85. S Club – These Are The Days 89. Kenya Grace – Strangers 90. Kylie Minogue – Hold On To Now 91. Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Breaking the Circle should probably check this off the back of her success with Murder On The Dancefloor! 93. Billy Gillies feat Hannah Boleyn - DNA (Loving You) 94. Willow Kayne – Final Notice 100. George Clanton – I Been Young Fantastic as always
