Over the past 2 weeks we've had many of you voting, 25 to be exact, which is an excellent turnout. Stay tuned tonight on Buzzjack as I reveal what the ultimate Avicii songs are. We'll be starting with #25 very soon, what do you think will be the least favourite? And more importantly, what will be the favourite?

The full results will be posted in this post once I have finished revealing them.

21 - 25



21. Dancing In My Head (Insomnio, 8.5)
22. Last Dance (gavindeejay, Nick F1, 10)
23. Alcoholic (mr_aly, gavindeejay, 8)
24. Sweet Dreams (Barbaric Adam, 8)
25. Tweet It (Thermo, 8)

Starting off with the no1curr Avicii tracks which barely anyone knew, but hey, what's a Buzzjack rate without songs that people don't know? The incredibly underrated 'Tweet It' finishes last. The song, a collaboration with Norman Doray and Sebastian Drums was released in 2010. Another Sebastian Drums 2010 collab is yet to come. The Eurthymics sampling 'Sweet Dreams' is at #24, whilst 2009 effort 'Alcoholic' finishes at #23. 'Dancing In My Head', which features Eric Turner, known for putting vocals on 'Written In The Stars', is at #21 whilst 'Last Dance' finishes at #22.

16 - 20



16. X You (Calum Sandé, Thermo, ej, 9)
17. Girl Gone Wild (Avicii Remix) (O Mie d'Bandit, 9)
18. We Write The Story (gooddelta, 11)
19. Speed (Burn & Lotus F1 Team Mix) (ej, 10)
20. Blessed (O Mie d'Bandit, 10)

Starting the top 20 is 'Blessed' which is a song that could've had hit potential if they actually bothered to promote it. This can be said about many songs in the chart, however I doubt that 'Speed' would've been a hit. It is, however, a very good song, and it also sounds great in its Wake Me Up mash-up version. At #18 is gooddelta's favourite 'We Write The Story' which was used for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013. Unfortunately it is one of his worst songs to date in my opinion. His remix of 'Girl Gone Wild' is an okay track but also not one of my Avicii faves. We end on a high though with 'X You' at #16. The song was the first and so far only project helped by the fans, and the music video describes exactly what happened to make the song.

11 - 15



11. My Feelings For You (152chris, gavindeejay, ej, Thermo, seven, 10)
12. Hey Brother (Nick F1, 11)
13. Superlove (O Mie d'Bandit, Math, 9)
14. Rapture (Avicii Remix) (Eyes, gavindeejay, Jade, mr_aly, 10)
15. Street Dancer (ej, 9)

I'm surprised 'Street Dancer' is this far up as I've never considered it as one of his best, but it is at #15. The next few are more well known, with them all being top 75 hits. His remix of 'Rapture' which is better than the original for me, is at #14. Her voice really suits the track and it's got that classic Avicii sound which I love. The Lenny Kravitz collab is at #13 which is alright but not brilliant by Avicii's standards. To finish the section off we have two absolutely brilliant songs, firstly 'Hey Brother' at #12 which really shocked me as I thought it would be a lot higher, but the high amount of negative votes killed its chances. Calum Sandé, Liam and Griff gave it a -1 and Davidson and Dandy* gave it 0. It really is the Avicii equivalent of marmite, with the vocalist putting some off. 'My Feelings For You' is at #11. This song was the first Avicii hit that I really loved and got me into him, even though it was released after 'Seek Bromance', a song which I appreciated after its release rather than at the time. That song is yet to come.

Any comments or predictions?

06 - 10



06. Wake Me Up (Mack, Eyes, gavindeejay, ej, Calum Sandé, THE GRIFF, Math, Barbaric Adam, 11)
07. You Make Me (Jade, 11)
08. Fade Into Darkness (RabbitFurCoat, gavindeejay, Math, Barbaric Adam, 10)
09. Collide (Insomnio, Liam, 11)
10. Lay Me Down (jsliv, mr_aly, 10)

The top 10 starts with future single and chart smash 'Lay Me Down' which features the vocals of Adam Lambert who isn't someone I'd expect to be on an Avicii track, but he works well on it despite that. It's the weakest single from True in my opinion but still a tune. In the battle of 'Fade Into Darkness' and the 'Fade Into Darkness' rip-off from Leona Lewis, it is the original that deservedly wins. Yay for taste biggrin.gif It goes to show that as much as I love Avicii production, a good vocal does help too. At #7 is 'You Make Me' which I really like and #7 seems like a good position for this song. 'Wake Me Up' however is far too low, at #6. I thought it would have easily won, but this countdown throws a surprise and knocks it out despite the mass adoration for the track (eight 11s and three 10s!). There were a few negative votes which pushed it down, so what do you think has won? What is your personal favourite from the contenders?

Still to come:
• Addicted To You
• I Could Be The One
• Levels
• Seek Bromance
• Silhouettes

05



05. Addicted To You (O Mie d'Bandit, 11)



Starting off the top 5 is the highest-rated song from Avicii's debut album True, meaning that the top four are all non-album singles. The song is a nice departure from Avicii's normal sound and also sounded quite refreshing after 2 country influenced singles. It still sounds like an Avicii record though and the vocal performance on this is great. Best single off True though? I don't agree with you Buzzjack.

Still to come:
• I Could Be The One
• Levels
• Seek Bromance
• Silhouettes

Hopefully I Could Be The One & Addicted To You aren't too high, but the other three are amazing wub.gif Really glad Hey Brother & You Make Me aren't that high, the latter is awful and the former has gotten immensely tiresome. Likewise Wake Me Up, which is good now I don't have to listen to it everyday, but he's had much better.

04



04. I Could Be The One (jsliv, ketalina, 11)



Next up is 'I Could Be The One', which was Avicii's last big hit before he started the True campaign. It was a great start to the year 2013 and was my favourite song of the year before he topped it with 'Wake Me Up'. It's great to see some appreciation for this song on the site and seeing the song debut at #1 in the UK singles chart was amazing. Still a fantastic tune so glad to see it top 5.

03



03. Silhouettes (jsliv, O Mie d'Bandit, Chez Wombat, Math, ketalina, Barbaric Adam, 10)



'Silhouettes' was released as the follow-up to the mega-hit 'Levels', which is yet to come in the chart. I instantly fell in love with it, the more laid-back approach to progressive really works for Avicii as this song showcases. There's some really nice sounds in this and it just works so well. It's not in my top 5 Avicii songs though.

Still to come:
• Levels
• Seek Bromance

predict guys!

OMG PERFECT, really didn't expect I Could Be The One that low ohmy.gif Levels to win, Seek Bromance is great too though.

Silhouettes is amazing, feels really overlooked in his back catalogue today, so glad to see it finish well here.
