#003 Yves Tumor “Lifetime” Debut: 16th September 2018 / CR: 38-21-10-03-01-01-01-01-01-02-03-05-07-09-10-14† (16 weeks... so far)

“Lifetime” is the 2nd single taken from the brilliant Safe In The Hands Of Love which quickly won me around with its wonderful Bloc Party-esque frantic drumming and soulful, soaring vocals. The chaos seems to erupt into a very powerful chorus and I can't help air drumming every time I heard it - and I heard it a lot - the single spent 5 weeks at number 1 in October/November and still only just left my Top 10 last week!

#002 DJ Koze “Pick Up” Debut: 6th May 2018 / CR: 37-24-13-04-02-01-01-01-01-01-02-04-05-07-12-18-24-31-39-45-49 (21 weeks)

This track, “Pick Up” by enigmatic German DJ Stefan Kozalla (DJ Koze) who sampled “Neither One of Us” by 1970s soul legend Gladys Knight - a song recorded and released in the year in which he was born - was transformed into a wonderful slice of French House which carried me through the hot summer in the UK, peaking for 5 blisteringly hot weeks at number 1 as the World Cup and sunshine seemed to pick up the mood of the country. But it wasn't enough to be my number 1 of 2018!

Top 10 of 2018: NUMBER ONE



#001 Young Fathers “In My View” Debut: 21st January 2018 / CR: 32-20-13-07-04-02-01-01-01-01-02-03-05-08-11-16-23-29-34-40-44-48 (22 weeks)

Scoring Top 10 finishes for the Year End charts of 2014 (“Get Up”, #9) and in 2017 (“Only God Knows”, #2) but never higher than #2 - the Scottish trio FINALLY achieve a well deserved number 1 with the beautiful “In My View”; where the boys carried a lot of the spark that made them hype favourites from their mixtapes in 2013, but also bringing forward some catchy jungle drums and filtered background vocals that really amplify the emotional tones within the song - sounding more and more like TV On The Radio (this is a GOOD thing!) of which they are often compared to.

My favourite gig of the year was seeing them perform at the Roundhouse in Camden back in March and that undoubtably helped to cement this track as a huge favourite throughout the Spring and become my number 1 of 2018.

Nice to see Dark Heart here, it's a really refreshing piece and reminds me of something from a few years ago that I can't put my finger on. Love Like Waves is my favourite of the the two Friendly Fires songs, it's really funky and something you just want to listen to!

Giving your #1 a listen now, an interesting song! The vocals are very good, I can see myself getting into the melody as well if I gave it a bit more time.

I regularly add tracks from your personal chart to my tracks to listen to on Spotify, so have probably listened to most of these in here, however I must admit there's a surprisingly low amount (particularly towards the top) that have had much impact on me (just 6 of the top 15).

This year I finally got Young Fathers, and In My View had very similar success - 18 weeks in with 5 at number one. Pick Up is also superb at the top and whilst I like Emerald Rush, it was his other two singles that I really enjoyed this year.

Interesting to see both Friendly Fires tracks in the top 50, I enjoyed them both but went off them pretty quickly to be honest, Heaven Let Me In in particular.

Always good to see a fellow fan of If You Know You Know, Song for a Seagull, Dressed to Suppress, So Much and George FitzGerald too - still a fair amount of crossover between our charts.
