BuzzJack Music Forum _ Countdowns and End of Year Charts _ Rob's Top 50 of 2018

Posted by: Rob S~ Dec 22 2018, 05:02 PM

Hello there, another year is almost drawing to a close and it's that time to do the usual EOY charts... this year it will be immensely reduced to a top 50 in comparison to top 100/200's I was doing purely cause I haven't even begun to compile the year end yet and will need to go over songs that hit the charts and didn't that made a impression on me this year and limiting it to a top 50 means it's more crucial for songs to make the cut!

P.s. This will likely be my final EOY as I've not been having that much desire to put in all the hard work of countdowns etc and wasn't intending to even put one together as I was certain in my head to have last years be my last one)

Anyway I'll put in some fun still and there is always some surprises, see Arcade Fire last year for example..

I'll try and post this sometime after Christmas day but will compile tonight /tomorrow and post some songs I end up with in the missing out section.

Oh yes I just realised that I hadn't posted any charts all year lol.

You should expect lots of BJSC songs and some songs released late last year that didn't chart too highly in the eoy (well a couple did pretty well tbh but anyway)

--

Just as well I'm doing a top 50 cause I've been able to write down around 80 songs so I guess my eoy would have been considerably low this year either way as its not been that vintage a year for me. Too much random urban stuff filling the charts xx

Posted by: Rob S~ Dec 24 2018, 09:23 PM

So before I start the top 50 (which is still yet to be decided and ordered) there's zero data or anything like that as my personal chart ended two years ago and this is basically just based on preference and impact for the whole year, in the end I ended up with 76 songs so limiting my chart to 50 was I guess going to be the case anyway as it appears I've not been loving a huge chunk of music this year... Or so that seems. In fact it really wasn't a great year overall and the huge decrease in number of songs tells that quite evidently. Doing a top 50 in comparison to much spaced out top 100 or 200 is crucial for songs to have really made a BIG impact on me. this year. It almost feels like getting through to the live shows of X Factor in a way lol (rubbish example no doubt)

So anyway from the sortings out there were 26 songs that failed to make my important 50 songs of the year including the very new Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus song which does very well to get to #54 despite only being released this month... the power of a much lower number of songs you could say!


I'll post some missed out videos after dinner!

It was a nice song but I hadn't really gone back to it that much since the contest hence why it didn't make the top 50 or outside lol. There's another of your entries inside though. The smallprint is just songs in order that missed out but aren't really a huge part of chart as they are well..... outside and didn't make the ACTUAL jameela.jpg top 50 tongue.gif

Amazing to see 'joy.' in here!!! ohmy.gif It won't even be that high in my own EOY, I'm so glad you loved it!

Also thrilled to see Metric in here, and double Alice Merton - surprised that you've ranked 'Lash Out' higher than 'No Roots'!

Posted by: Petivity Dec 28 2018, 06:04 PM

Lots of BJSC entries here! Lots of ones I voted for as well - joy, Temperance, You're So Cool, Cruel Summer, Girls Go Wild. Dressed to Suppress and Word of Mouth are all favourites of mine ohmy.gif

Nice to see Strangers pop up, was lovely to see Sigrid get herself a UK hit. In My Mind was a dance banger as well music.gif

Posted by: Rob S~ Dec 29 2018, 12:03 AM

Jonathan Bree & Cathedrals both Summericia entries (winner of BJSC 107) dropping out, still lots more of my eligible entries remaining ;o

thanks Jordan, FK&C was a really catchy choice, it seems the contest I hosted has a profound effect on my EOY as the majority are from 107 laugh.gif
thanks Pete, yes I don't usually have my eoy littered this much with BJSC entries lol.. there isn't that much left to appear tbh from BJSC!

EXCEPT... Here's a couple more in this section tongue.gif

30-21


30. SAVEUS - Time Can Heal A Man
29. Dua Lipa - IDGAF
28. Halestorm - Killing Ourselves To Live
27. CAIN - SVICIDE GRLS DANCE

I'd completely forgotten about Answerphone! Loved it to start with but got boring very quickly for me unforch sad.gif

Hoping Baby re-peaks in the official chart, #24 is criminally low.

Good BJSC picks here as I'd expect biggrin.gif

Hi dobbo, ie answerphone it was the complete opposite for me. Couldn't really get into it at first but then it began growing on me. The superior Ella feature is still to come!

I think Baby could go top 20 in the new year just hope ACR doesn't step in too prematurely.

Thanks biggrin.gif

Posted by: Rob S~ Dec 31 2018, 10:18 PM

and here's comes a few more, top 10 will most likely be posted post new year now!

#20




#19




#18



#17



#16



Top 20 starts off with the Urban superstar, Cardi B... this is one that might surprise people but I found it easily her best song and deservedly gave her a solo top 10 hit in May, thanks to hearing it on radio a lot and I was religiously listening to the chart for about 4 weeks straight on my routine drive to my sister in Brighton and this along with another song that's to come hung around the lower end of the top 10 for ages. It's really catchy though and tbh I've not really heard her top 40 hits before ILI (and Money which came after for that matter) it's a lot of harmless urban pop fun at it's finest really!

No.19 sees Chart megastars Clean Bandit return with a summer bop featuring Demi Lovato who I've really come round to a lot as a singer in recent years. 'Solo' isn't their ultimate best but it's still an enjoyable track to listen to. Coming in next we have another dance anthem from MK who after their smash last year with '17' make another groovy floorfiller tune and hire the vocals of Becky Hill who exceeds expectations once again on a dance track!

Sigala and Ella Eyre decide to hook up for a second time on 'Just Got Paid' with a lending hand from U.S. singer Meghan Trainor, a funky irresistible tune and this better of the Ella features this year but 'Answerphone' was good too despite taking several listens to click!

Finally rounding this section is US rapper/hip hop star Post Malone.. another one I'd expect will surprise people as i'm not really into urban that much on the whole and none of his previous material really impressed me that much.. before a wild Cody shows up 'I actually liked 'Rockstar' for a few listens ph34r.gif but that did go a bit average ultimately.. 'Psycho' I think I've heard once or twice and didn't really think a lot of and anything else of his that charted didn't impress me much. Incoming 'Better Now' which again like Cardi was always hanging around the bottom end of the top 10 or in the middle and I'd constantly hear it on the chart and I was pleasantly surprised by how much feeling their was and actually sounded like it was going somewhere as a song unlike his other tracks.. not to mention his vocals were at his best on it as well, with almost a soulful burst in the chorus. Easily his best song for me and I'm doubting he'll top it.. bear in mind I haven't heard his new song yet!

The first of two appearance from Portugal. The Man and clearly both have made my top 15.. wonder where 'Feel It Still' will finish unsure.gif 'Live In The Moment' was announced as what would be the follow up to FIS but sadly didn't do anything so I guess PTM are another to add to the list of One Hit Wonder over here.. 'Live In The Moment' was an excellent track anyway and the video was super cool too.

Next we have an annual Buzzjack fave in Rita Ora with 'Let You Love Me' which is just as good as 'Anywhere' but I don't think it's better than it... following my return from hiatus in BJSC came my biggest hit at the time in the form of Romanian singer Brianna with 'Lost In Istanbul', a girl who looks like a Romanian version of Dua Lipa. This catchy track gave me my first top 5 in BJSC which was followed up a month later with a winner from Cathedrals which flopped out at #32. As I didn't do proper commentary for anything outside top 20.. I'll just say hosting BJSC was a mainly good experience but the scoreboards were a right stress to do and my maths kept getting confusing (for some one who's quite clever with maths to a degree too) near 12 hours finishing tho was perhaps abnormal but hey I got it done and it was a fun experience for the rest of it (even though other things like mp3 playlists and live scoreboards I passed on). LII remains my summer anthem though and I'm really pleased that came 4th as it was the song that started me on a very successful few months in BJSC!

In 2018 we finally saw GaGa return back to her big hit scoring glory as 'Shallow' which comes from the A Star Is Born film was so hugely popular and hyped up in a big way that the song managed to get GaGa her first UK number 1 single since 2010's 'Telephone' which funnily enough was another collab! After a last minute order shuffle as it was at 7 originally but has now been bumped to unlucky 11th as the competition is such tight for my top 10... in comes '1999' by Charli XCX and Troye Sivian, their retro throwback to the late 90's days of Britney and other pop that was hot at the time track which is addictive as hell sees them getting a very high showing on my countdown.. one of Charli's best for me now and it was good to see Troye also get a big hit too!

Posted by: Petivity Jan 1 2019, 11:59 AM

Live in the Moment was a nice track but it never got close to Feel It Still for me sadly. Lost in Istanbul was a great BJSC entry though and one I went back to lots afterwards, and 1999 is a really catchy piece as well!

Starting off my top 10 of 2018 we see a former BJSC representative appearance, except this one is unique as the artist was under the ineligible umbrella last year as the song was from 2007... VNV Nation's hauntingly thought provoking 'Illusion' failed to Qualify for us and it was a bit of an injustice I think but anyhow fast forward to 2018 and what music are they releasing nowadays and is it decent material? well imo it is as this is VNV's first single off their new album Noire. 'When Is The Future' is sonically and electronically cool with lyrics that really connect to a listener as it travels through space and time etc and for me was a very welcome return even if I haven't listened to all of their stuff (especially in the last decade).

Next we have breakthrough single 'Leave A Light On' from a guy called Tom Walker, the track took off this year after being featured on an advert after it had a disappointing chart run originally only making it to 41 but along comes May of 2018 and LALO is well inside the top 10. Tom Walkers song has powerful lyrics and the piano part if beautiful but I can see why his voice might rub people up the wrong way as I know rough vocals like that aren't very buzzjack welcoming but I like them and find his voice distintive. It is a shame his other material hasn't been as good for me.. 'Angels' is ok but nothing to write home about and 'My Way' was disappointly average. Improving on his 50th placing on my EOY countdown last year by 41 places, congrats Tom but he's not best improvement overall as a fellow late last year but took off in a big way song is still to come.

and Ariana Grande's comeback 'No Tears Left To Cry' sits in 8th song of the year for me which is her absolute best and overtakes 'Into You' in that retrospect!



Posted by: Rob S~ Jan 2 2019, 11:17 PM

7th




6th



Two songs that came out last year but really took off this year, Lost Without You' by Freya Ridings and 'Feel It Still' by Portugal. The Man sees themselves within my top 10 and they both have something in common... they both are huge grower! Both of these songs on first listen I really didn't think anything of (case could be said for most songs I guess) them but when you take the time to re listen to them.. that's when it clicks and you wonder why it didn't straight away. LWY is a stunning ballad that should easily draw someone into the emotion and everything else, and FIS is immediately off to a good beat and rhythm and catchy singalong chorus yet it didn't connect with me at all until I heard it make the chart in the car when it first entered.. says a lot about where songs improve in different surroundings eh? anyway they became monster hits and Freya in particular has a lot of pre chart awareness as 'Lost Without You' was fingertips away from winning BJSC 103 for FSR Rontvia but sadly a tiebreaker of most votes went against her in the favour of 'Word of Mouth' by Metroplane which also appears in my countdown and is really catchy so not ill feelings!

Posted by: Rob S~ Jan 2 2019, 11:20 PM

Remaining we have...

2 x George Ezra
1 hot newcomer on the horizon
current EOY reigning of the year artist
Final Summericia BJSC entry

all will be revealed tommorow/Friday if not busy!

Ah, some great sections there. Love seeing Back & Forth and Just Got Paid so high AND next to each other as I associate them with charting at the same time tongue.gif Better Now is such a gem too! Also awesome to see some love for Live In The Moment wub.gif

Posted by: sergejdordij98 Jan 3 2019, 12:55 PM

Really like #9 to #6!
All of them are great songs!
You know, I like most of the songs on your Year-End list!

Great chart so far, Lost Without You is my fave in the top 10 so far, such a lovely song.

Posted by: Petivity Jan 3 2019, 03:34 PM

Some great songs in that last lot - Leave a Light On is my favourite by quite a way from Tom, his voice sounds so good in it and I'm so glad it became a hit! Freya's voice is beautiful as well and I'm beginning to get into it again, and Feel It Still remains a real earworm wub.gif

Same here Pete, I can understand if his voice isn't people's cups of tea but I disagree haha. Add to the emotion in what's he's saying.

We reach the first song to drop out of the top 5 that were left and it comes from the lady who finished atop my chart of 2017... Pink, with her remake of 'A Million Dreams' from the humongous The Greatest Showman, well it's the re-imagined album but point still intact. It was inescapable all year and it took me till November to watch it at some social group thing (wasn't intentional). Was decent but for me it's not THAT good and is over hyped a little too much. Anyways the songs aren't all my cup of tea either (This is Me is overrated too) with 'Never Enough' being the best of the actual film versions but Pink's version of 'A Million Dreams' is SO GOOD and so good that I'd consider separating it from the album because let's be honest Pink has done lots of film soundtracks and released them as part of her albums. This felt perfect to release round Christmas as it has that seasonal feeling to it for me.

After a last minute shuffle as the 2-4 are all really tight with preference.. we have the first George Ezra track to drop out as 'Shotgun' finishes in 4th place. One of the summer tracks for sure and it was the song to give him his first number one with too (most likely my chart as well if it still existed). George has a huge year and one that surprised a lot of people as his initial comeback song 'Don't Matter Now' in May of 2017 flopped on it's ass and he seemed destined to be a one album wonder in terms of singles which until 2018 was appearing to be the case!

Posted by: Rob S~ Jan 6 2019, 06:20 PM

we are left with... George Ezra v Ava Max v Katty Heath.. all shall come tommorow as I'm busy for the rest of the evening (not intentionally dragging this out slowly xx)

Posted by: Rob S~ Jan 7 2019, 12:25 AM

#3




There's really not a lot of difference in which George track I prefer as they are both on equal and would probably be joint if there was such thing but since the last couple of weeks I have begun to tire of 'Shotgun' now and hearing 'Paradise' on the Radio 1 EOY caught my attention as i hadn't really heard it half as much lately even though it was everywhere at first. I think due to not hearing Paradise quite as much now helps its chance to be my preferred choice but 'Shotgun' was also an obsession for me during the summer.. 2018 was certainly his year no doubt !

Posted by: Riser Jan 7 2019, 04:52 AM

I still haven't watched The Greatest Showman but the songs from it are so special. Hard to believe 'A Million Dreams' wasn't written specifically for P!nk considering how perfectly it suits her!

Edit: Oops just read the rest of your paragraph, so you definitely won't agree with me on the soundtrack laugh.gif Anyway looking forward to the big #1 reveal!!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Jan 7 2019, 10:21 PM

Nice to see double Ezra here, Paradise was the track that got me back into him but Shotgun was the real grower - I didn't think much of it as an album track but it went on to be my favourite from him this era!

Coming in at 2nd place we have new pop girl on the scene Ava Max with her catchy hit 'Sweet But Psycho'. This was first brought to my attention via BJSC when I was hosting the contest back in September after my win. The best part of hosting BJSC duties along with announcing the DNQS/ Q's was seeing what people were submitting which of course I have permission to see and even songs that people changed etc. Anyways Ava Max was unfortunately entered 3 times (by Ojnoj, Bhangraand Joedonia, Ultraviolenceland were also eyeing it up as a potential too) which per the rules got Vetoed and the song was also taking off on some Europe charts too so it was a combination of things. The song is a basic touch of pop but basic is never a bad thing if done well... the song is incredibly catchy. I didn't know if it was going to do much in the charts so it was a pleasant surprise to see it gain traction and take off with radio support and the song even was in contention for Christmas Number One before being beaten by a last surge for a Charity cover ripoff of 'We Built This City' which was altered to singing about sausage rolls. The song itself was a joke but then it was novelty but it was for a good cause, foodbanks are a very cause to support but I was bummed that it beat Ava on the last day or two and just when I was pleased she was going to remove the Ariana song which is quite average and had spent too long on top as well . Thankfully 'Sweet But psycho' managed to grab the #1 albeit in controversial fashion with OCC estimating Mariah streams over Christmas and deciding to find a method to still keep her off number 1 despite having record christmas streams despite ACR and was technically number one anyway... back to Max though and it seems despite all that she legitimately managed to grab a number 1 hit and is looking to have a lengthy reign which at present doesn't look to be in jeopardy. Long may that continue. I'm pretty sure Ava will have another bop or few up her sleeve but even if she remains a one hit wonder then that's fine as SWP will be amongst the best of that group!

and so here we are with my SONG OF 2018... for the first time since entering BJSC in 2015, a BJSC song and a Summericia entry at that top my best of the year chart. Katty Heath's 'Connection Through Sound' is a lovely, delicate slice of emotional trance which was entered into the host (moi's) contest. It was a toss up between Katty Heath and No_4mat's 1992, the latter of which I submitted first before changing back after listening to both my potentials a few more times the same day.. very fast ha. 'Connection Through Sound' proved successful with the BJSC supporters.. especially those who are trance/dance fans and we were awarded 20th place with the track which did MILES better than what our last trance entry did (should have qualified too tho </3 ) The song also helped us keep our number of qualifiers aside from Jan and hiatus going strong as our pattern went from February... 15,20,4,1 & 20 in order respectively so I was impressed even when taking into account we took a rest for 3/4 months in between. You know Bre will technically count is a break up of sorts but I'm not basing it on consecutive contests entered cool.gif It's the first BJSC related song to finish atop a eoy Chart of mine, getting higher than Keys&Cages 3rd and CRIM3S 5th in the last two years.. the former of which had a huge chart run before my then existing chart was closing down again. Katty's effortless vocals really deliver and takes one into a new dimension and an adventure which is what a perfect trance track is for me. Congrats to Katty Heath for becoming my song of 2018!

Only just seen this whilst browsing..

1. Definitely. Was happy my win gave me that opportunity.
3. Yeah seems like the general opinion. They are both great.
5. Absolutely.. No contest whatsoever.
12. Who knew this would be the song to ever give Gaga her first #1 in years especially when it looked doubtful she'd even get another one again considering how much she wasn't getting anywhere near for 5 years with newer stuff.
27. Witch house seems a little reliant and safe for me now haha but I could depend on it if or when I return. Not anytime yet anyway.
28. Oh yes, it was an awesome treat seeing it live last year. This was easily the standout from their newer material, that I hadn't really listened to prior to the gig.
37. Certainly a different type of dance. Would be cool to see more of that in the charts.
46. It suffered from not listening to it as much since the contest whereas Freya.... Well I wonder what happened there (it became became a big hit and was listened to lots !!!) so yes LWY is the Victor with ease out of those two in highest finish! Could have swapped places now too looking back tongue.gif

Thanks Rich! biggrin.gif
