United Kingdolls ~ UK Hun? UK chart run: {27}-x [1 weeks] Points: 09 \| Positive votes: 02 \| Negative votes: 01 [LiamSine] Top supporter: LMLou [+7] Taken from S2 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK a few of the drag queens did a pun on the name of this very country and managed to out-do the S1 effort in the chart before inevitably tumbling right out the following week. #39. Neiked, Mae Muller and Polo G ~ Better Days UK chart run: 52-33-{32}-33-34-49-75-x-43-54-55-x [10 weeks] Points: 13 \| Positive votes: 04 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Rush [+6] After a massive hit in 'Sexual' 5 years ago apparently TikTok decided we needed Mr Neiked to have a second hit with a song that had eerily similar production to a recent Doja Cat superhit. #38. Little Mix ~ No UK chart run: {35}-57-x [2 weeks] Points: 14 \| Positive votes: 04 \| Negative votes: 01 [rio309] Top supporter: Nick F1 [+8] Perhaps not the best way to go out, Little Mix's final single before announcing a hiatus landed just in the top 40 to coincide with their Greatest Hits album before promptly exiting, although it didn't seem to get much of a push fans were hoping for a better chart run. It seems Buzzjack weren't all too keen on this either with only a handful of supporters here. #37. Years & Years ~ Starstruck UK chart run: 64-56-38-39-41-44-{31}-34-33-43-55-x [11 weeks] Points: 14 \| Positive votes: 04 \| Negative votes: 01 [rio309] Top supporter: Nick F1 [+8] Perhaps Sweet Talker can fare a bit better next year but for now Starstruck falls in the bottom 5 here for Olly, a track that certainly needed a bit of a push to even get it as high as #31 so it seems the public weren't here for him so much this time around although he did at least end up with a #1 album out of it so the fans are still there. #36. Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande ~ Santa, Can't You Hear Me? UK chart run: 66-49-40-{37}-x [4 weeks] Points: 20 \| Positive votes: 05 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Jade [+10] A little Christmas hit here for Kelly & Ariana, only time will tell if it ends up holding up like Underneath the Tree but it just managed to scrape the top 40 this time around - still impressive for a new Christmas song when it has all the classics to contend with I suppose.

Taylor Swift ~ Mr. Perfectly Fine (Taylor's Version) UK chart run: {30}-50-63-x [3 weeks] Points: 20 \| Positive votes: 05 \| Negative votes: 01 [detonate] Top supporter: ...ready for it [+8] One of the handful of Taylor Swift songs we got this year however this was a previously unreleased track from the Fearless sessions helping it into the top 40. #34. Sia ~ Snowman UK chart run: 73-55-44-41-{35}-x [5 weeks] Points: 24 \| Positive votes: 04 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: JulianT [+10] Another Christmas song now and this one was a couple of years old already but got a TikTok boost then subsequently replaced her other Christmas hit on all the playlists giving it a boost into the top 40 despite the ACR handicap. #33. Becky Hill ~ Last Time UK chart run: 47-51-53-46-{39}-42-46-52-55-x [9 weeks] Points: 24 \| Positive votes: 06 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Daan [+7] A middling Becky Hill hit which thankfully did manage to just about scrape the top 40 although I'm sure the label were hoping for more. Thankfully she'd team up with Mr Guetta soon and get the much deserved big hit. #32. P!nk ~ All I Know So Far UK chart run: 45-55-{39}-41-45-44-44-46-46-50-51-48-64-65-55-59-65-73-x [18 weeks] Points: 25 \| Positive votes: 06 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: rio309, WhoOdyssey [+7] P!nk going full on Heart FM now which only got her a top 40 scrape although it had impressive longevity outside - taken from her live album so I'm sure a bigger hit could await when she next does a proper album campaign. #31. Jason Derulo and Nuka ~ Love Not War (The Tampa Beat) UK chart run: 30-29-{26}-29-32-27-38-31-36-45-48-x [11 weeks] Points: 27 \| Positive votes: 04 \| Negative votes: 01 [JackTheeStallion] Top supporter: detonate [+12] A shameless attempt to re-do Savage Love and well I suppose it somewhat worked for him though it probably won't be fondly remembered by most.

Giveon ~ Heartbreak Anniversary UK chart run: 60-42-42-39-36-36-37-{35}-36-44-48-x [11 weeks] Points: 31 \| Positive votes: 07 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Cow Cow, Bjork [+8] Getting a rare RnB track into the top 40 last year we had Giveon who'd got popularity off a Drake collab and soon went on to feature for Justin Bieber but hasn't come back since yet. #29. Mimi Webb ~ 24/5 UK chart run: {25}-34-34-33-35-33-25-29-37-41-x [10 weeks] Points: 34 \| Positive votes: 07 \| Negative votes: 01 [Daan] Top supporter: Rush [+12] One of the most annoying vocal performances of the year from Mimi Webb, which thankfully didn't quite follow her first two singles into the top 20 though I see she's got a new track out now which is doing well on iTunes and supposedly has TikTok behind it so I guess she's here to stay. #28. Sigala and Rita Ora ~ You for Me UK chart run: 55-53-37-33-29-28-{23}-26-26-32-38-40-x [12 weeks] Points: 35 \| Positive votes: 05 \| Negative votes: 01 [SevenSeize] Top supporter: Waverly, LiamSine [+12] A little bit of chart redemption for Rita Ora following a "Big" flop with her Imanbek/Guetta collab teaming with Sigala for a fairly by the numbers dancepop track, nothing too special but I did chuck it a couple of points. #27. SZA ~ I Hate U UK chart run: {38}-47-69-x-40-51-51-58-56-67-x [8 weeks] Points: 36 \| Positive votes: 08 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: JackTheeStallion [+10] SZA eventually following on from her 'Good Days' toward the end of last year it managed to splash in the top 40 in Christmas season but couldn't hold up well enough to re-peak afterwards. #26. Little Mix ~ Love (Sweet Love) UK chart run: {33}-56-70-62-72-70-x [6 weeks] Points: 37 \| Positive votes: 08 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Nick F1 [+10] So there's no Little Mix in the top 20 then, with this single also falling flat in the chart as it couldn't quite compete with their (much better) Galantis and Anne-Marie collabs.

Lil Nas X ~ Holiday UK chart run: 60-42-41-42-41-49-47-{23}-31-x [9 weeks] Points: 38 \| Positive votes: 08 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Dorothea [+12] Just months before he was able to get a second superhit this track timed for the holiday season managed to have a couple weeks in the chart come the new year after an unfortunate run of 4 weeks between 41-42. #24. Billie Eilish and Rosalía ~ Lo Vas A Olvidar UK chart run: {35}-64-x [2 weeks] Points: 43 \| Positive votes: 05 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Jade, Brer, Bjork [+12] A soundtrack release which was only a very short lived hit from Billie's name power - it managed to gain three big fans on the forum but sweet little else. #23. The Longest Johns ~ Wellerman UK chart run: {37}-52-x [2 weeks] Points: 43 \| Positive votes: 07 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Cow Cow, jimwatts [+10] Benefitting from the lack of a Nathan Evans version to stream for a couple of weeks, though it seems some of you do happen to appreciate this version for what it is too. #22. Justin Bieber ~ Ghost UK chart run: 62-47-41-39-35-32-29-37-46-45-52-64-21-27-25-25-21-{19}-... [18 weeks] Points: 43 \| Positive votes: 08 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Jason [+12] Oops. Oh well, come back next year to see if it can fare any better in Non-top 10 of 2022. #21. Navos ~ Believe Me UK chart run: 50-43-33-25-29-26-27-26-25-27-26-{23}-27-30-32-75-60-30-26-31-36-38-x [22 weeks] Points: 44 \| Positive votes: 08 \| Negative votes: 01 [Smint] Top supporter: Jason, coi [+8] One of the longest runners of the year for a non-top 20 hit, quite unlucky for the summer dance smash and even moreso that it once again misses a top 20 losing out by tiebreak.

Hope Billie can go top 10 here with 'NDA' or 'Oxytocin' - I suspect the latter may have a good chance

Snowman is my only big loss so far. ⛄️

Helped by a sample of "Rapture" and with a song title perhaps inspired by her previous collab with DJ Regard. #18. Aurora ~ Runaway UK chart run: 59-51-34-29-{25}-29-33-34-x [8 weeks] Points: 48 \| Positive votes: 09 \| Negative votes: 01 [Dobbo] Top supporter: JulianT [+12] TikTok strikes again and got Aurora a 3rd hit after her 2015 John Lewis ad cover and 2019 Frozen soundtrack song although this pre-dates both of them. #17. Saweetie ~ Best Friend (feat.

It was fairly bigger over in America. #16. Taylor Swift ~ Red (Taylor's Version) UK chart run: {22}-53-x [2 weeks] Points: 50 \| Positive votes: 10 \| Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Conorw [+12] Taylor Swift again this time with a Red re-recording which managed to out-peak the original version but quickly exited.

is my brain across your walls? Joined: 14 February 2009 Posts: 115,095 User: 8,300	'Lo Vas A Olvidar' is way too low xx (a very easy +12 for me, stands out by a mile, quite amazing that a song like that could become a top 40 hit, thanks Billie's name power). Wonder if it might have charted higher if it was part of the current series of Euphoria since that show seems to have got a lot more popular. I think 'Ghost' is the only other one of my votes to drop out so far so pretty good going that the rest are in the top 15! (Although my -2 and at least one other strong -2 contender are still in as well x at least '24/5' exited graciously early x)
