#12. Slide (feat. Frank Ocean & Migos)
Rate score: 7.95/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (blacksquare) Lowest rate score: 0/10 (Jase) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2017 Album: Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 UK Chart position: #10 YouTube views: 61.7m Spotify streams: 458.7m The first single taken from 'Funk Wav' proved very divisive at first, with Calvin unexpectedly changing sound for a more R&B flavour, but it grew on most of us and it's become one of my favourites of his. Giving us the R&B/rap/dance crossover that I never knew I wanted, it remains a highlight from the 'Funk Wav' era. For someone who's never excited me Frank Ocean does well on this and the Migos raps work brilliantly for it too. #12 is a pleasing position for this here given how the other rap ones have done. #11. Bounce (feat. Kelis) Rate score: 7.97/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (danG) Lowest rate score: 5/10 (Bjork) 2014 rate position: 6th of 21 Year of release: 2011 Album: 18 Months UK Chart position: #2 YouTube views: 48.0m Spotify streams: 71.9m This ended the Calvin drought and brought him back better than ever, with the first single off '18 Months'. With guest vocals from Kelis, Calvin put the entire focus on his production for the first time, and really, what a song is this. It's upbeat all throughout and is uniquely Calvin, and for that it remains my favourite of his to date. Definitely deserving of the comment "proper banger". Sadly it just misses the top 10 here though #10 is in front by a good amount. +++ Here is the top 10 Acceptable In The 80s Feel So Close Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean) How Deep Is Your Love (with Disciples feat. Ina Wroldsen) I'm Not Alone Outside (feat. Ellie Goulding) Pray To God (feat. HAIM) Spectrum (Say My Name) (Calvin Harris Remix) (Florence + The Machine) Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch) We Found Love (with Rihanna) |

Another Ellie collab is still to come, so I'd say not  It's the right decision for me, I Need Your Love got totally killed by overplay and Outside still sounds pretty fresh.Summer is way too low, it's generic but it was perfect for the time of year and is one of my favourites from him. Let's Go & Under Control I hold in similar high regard, despite it's completely throwaway nature, I feel like he does generic breakdowns a bit better than his peers. And darn, Bounce was one of my uni anthems (though Feel So Close more so). |

The only song I love in that top 10 is How Deep Is Your Love. Big fan of Acceptable & Outside too but the rest can give or take.

A few surprises here I have to say! Scissor sisters in the Top 20 being one of them and INYL missing the Top 10. I hope it’s not going to be a predictable WFL at the Top!

NO UNDER CONTROL
Seriously though Under Control, Slide, AND Bounce all out in one go, and not even Top 10?  At least they’re above I Need Your Love.

'The Girls' deserved so much more!
for being a tune of life and soundtracking that iconic Eastenders Ronnie and Roxy advert x Pleasantly surprised to see 'Slide' as high as #12 when lots of his tracks with featured male vocalists seemed to be dropping like flies. My favourite chart hit of last year now a top 3 that includes 'Acceptable In The 80s', 'I'm Not Alone' and 'How Deep Is Your Love' would be perfection.

#10. Outside (feat. Ellie Goulding)
Rate score: 8.12/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (cqmerqn) Lowest rate score: 5/10 (blacksquare) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2014 Album: Motion UK Chart position: #6 YouTube views: 483.7m Spotify streams: 412.8m Starting out the top ten is 'Outside' which instantly smashed in at #6 upon the release of the album due to Ellie's high profile and it being chosen as the next single. I thought INYL would be more well regarded but it is this which becomes the only Ellie collab to make the top ten here. #09. How Deep Is Your Love (with Disciples feat. Ina Wroldsen) Rate score: 8.57/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (Dobbo) Lowest rate score: 0/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2015 Album: N/A UK Chart position: #2 YouTube views: 1297.0m Spotify streams: 546.7m Following the 'Motion' era Calvin prepared this summer anthem with Disciples and an officially uncredited Ina Wroldsen, which became one of his biggest hits to date, spending 12 weeks in the UK top ten but just missing out on #1. It's very well regarded on this forum on the whole but cqmerqn's 0/10 pushes this down from what would have been 5th to 9th. It saw Calvin take influence from deep house but making it his own and it is one of his top tunes in my opinion. |

#08. Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean)
Rate score: 8.59/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (SamJudd) Lowest rate score: 6/10 (PeteFromLeeds) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2017 Album: Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 395.4m Spotify streams: 462.4m The highest and only single taken from 'Funk Wav' in the top ten unsurprisingly is Calvin's biggest hit from the project, 'Feels'. It saw him work with Katy Perry for the first time and was the perfect laidback chilled groovy song for the summer. After a few flops it was great to see that Calvin still had it in him to produce a big chart hit, although its UK #1 peak is completely artificial to its credit it did spend nine weeks in the top ten. #07. Acceptable In The 80s Rate score: 8.60/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (SevenSeize, Jade, PeteFromLeeds) Lowest rate score: 2/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: 5th of 21 Year of release: 2007 Album: I Created Disco UK Chart position: #10 YouTube views: 11.1m Spotify streams: 15.5m Now here's where it gets interesting to compare with the 2014 rate, as only one song in the top seven was released following that rate so seemingly we've all decided Calvin's peak was sometime around the early 2010s. This is one of two in the top ten to have been released prior though, and 'Acceptable' was actually his chart debut (charting at #10), and being 20 positions ahead of 'The Girls' it is undeniably the best single from 'I Created Disco' in the collective Buzzjack opinion. It slips two places to #7 this time around but that's still going when this is (sadly) rather forgotten in his discography now. |

'Outside' really boils my piss, and I probably wouldn't have 'Feels' so high either.
Wish I hadn't missed voting in this! |

#06. Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch)
Rate score: 8.84/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (BridgeCow, Josh, Jase, Bjork, HarryEzra) Lowest rate score: 2/10 (Chez Wombat) 2014 rate position: 7th of 21 Year of release: 2012 Album: 18 Months UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 243.2m Spotify streams: 216.4m Taken from '18 Months' this became the second song of the era to make #1 following 'We Found Love' and it also served as a follow-up to Florence's 'Spectrum' which was aided by the Calvin remix to #1. Both those songs are yet to come, for now this improves from 2014 when it finished in 7th, helped by five sets of 11/10, the most of any song in the rate. #05. Feel So Close Rate score: 8.90/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (gavindeejay) Lowest rate score: 4/10 (Dobbo) 2014 rate position: 2nd of 21 Year of release: 2011 Album: 18 Months UK Chart position: #2 YouTube views: 192.3m Spotify streams: 226.5m Starting the top five then is 'Feel So Close', released as the 2nd single from '18 Months' and being one of the few on the project to feature Calvin's own vocals. It finished in 2nd in 2014 so it seems this has grown off Buzzjack users a bit, but it's still a strong song of his. It was also his first solo hit to break in the US. Top four then are:

It is a shame that 'Acceptable In The 80s' didn't quite crack the top 5 again but an 8.6 average is nothing to be sniffed at!
'I'm Not Alone' has to win this now 🙏 (fully expecting 'We Found Love' or 'Pray To God' though) |

'Pray to God' is excellent! It's something really different for him, and it works beautifully.
'Feel So Close' should have won, but a very decent top 5. |

#04. Spectrum (Say My Name) (Calvin Harris Remix) (Florence + The Machine)
Rate score: 8.99/10 Highest rate score: 10/10 (Midge, BridgeCow, Josh, Jase, gavindeejay, HarryEzra, SamJudd, Chez Wombat, Joe, Dexton, Stu1985, Juan Carlos, dandy*, Jester) Lowest rate score: 4/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: 4th of 21 Year of release: 2012 Album: Ceremonials UK Chart position: #1 YouTube views: 23.2m Spotify streams: 81.5m Taken as the fourth single from 'Ceremonials', Calvin Harris gave this a remix which shot it from outside the chart to #1 upon its release where it stayed for three weeks. Calvin opted to not include this on '18 Months' despite its big success however. It nearly got a rate average of 9/10 and it is the only song in the top ten with no scores of 11/10, though it did get 14 10/10s as well as a 9.8/10 (I've opted to allow DalekTurret's unique ratings) and a few 8s and 9s (I gave it a 9/10 myself). It took what was a standard Florence track and really gave life to it, and so unsurprisingly it keeps its #4 position from the 2014 rate. #03. Pray To God (feat. HAIM) Rate score: 9.00/10 Highest rate score: 11/10 (Joe, dandy*) Lowest rate score: 3/10 (cqmerqn) 2014 rate position: N/A Year of release: 2014 Album: Motion UK Chart position: #35 YouTube views: 67.6m Spotify streams: 85.0m Receiving a rate average of exactly 9/10, 'Pray To God' is deemed the best single taken from 'Motion', and is the only new addition to the top five as of the 2014 rate. Instantly a fan favourite upon the album's release, it got a single push in early 2015 but only managed to get to #35 where it stayed for two weeks, thus bringing the era to an abrupt end. It is a unique addition to Calvin's discography, with it featuring a more ~indie act and it not relying on a generic breakdown. It's not in my Calvin top three personally, though I still gave it a 10/10 and it is deserving of the high position here. The top two therefore consists of 'I'm Not Alone' and 'We Found Love', and there is less than 0.01 between them so it's anyone's guess. |
