I feel it COMING! Pronouns: he/they Joined: 9 October 2018 Posts: 9,244 User: 77,363	Uhsting's Top 50 After almost half a year of hiatus due to real-life issues when I am super busy with university and other stuff, I'm finally back with writing forum posts on my chart! I still listen to music during the busy times on a reduced playlist but there are still a lot of great findings. If you want to look back at all the weeks of Uhsting's Chart while I was away, head over to Crownnote and keep clicking the "Previous Chart" button. Unfortunately, I have no time to create video charts since they take up a lot of time and the copyright issues on YouTube would not provide good viewing experience, hence I think it will be better to write more in the forum posts to introduce different not-so-frequently-heard songs in the chart! LANKS - The Silence wduK245LZ-k Taking the first place this week is LANKS's The Silence. LANKS previously reached no. 1 at the last week of 2020 with KING and The Silence is his second song in the chart, which is a great achievement! I love the mellowness of the song, coupled with emotional melody and lyrics. It flows and progresses well. The Silence is co-written by LANKS and RY X. It talks about how they need to "break away from each other" in a consuming love relationship. Chart history: 22-14-9-6-2-1 2. Gjon's Tears - Tout l'univers bpM6o6UiBIw Rising one position is Gjon's Tears heartfelt Tout l'univers. The progression and instrumentation of this song are very strong and it makes me feel quite emotional. This song also showcases Gjon's Tears strong vocals, especially that high note in the final chorus! It is a strong contender for winning Eurovision this year and I hope he does win it for Switzerland! The song is about staying strong despite the difficult circumstances. "With love, friendship, strength and courage, we can rebuild our future." Chart history: 4-3-2 3. Noirêve ft. Giulia Foddai - Summer Don't Go eC08JLQH1E8 Debutted at no. 10 last week, this song breaks into the top 3 with a different type of ballad you are seeing in the top 10. It doesn't sound as grandiose as others in this chart, but certainly the minimal vibe it has is captivating in its own right, particularly the haunting repeating piano chords. Summer Don't Go is actually the first track of Noirêve since her hiatus in 2018. Chart history: 10-3 4. Jamala - Like a Hero bfRRNdUZTXw Dropping from the first place is Jamala's Like a Hero, I am pleasantly surprised upon the first listen of this song. This is spectacularly produced and she definitely nailed those extremely high notes. The melody is haunting and strong, especially coupled with her vocals. This song is included in her latest album МИ. Chart history: 2-1-4 5. Destiny - Je me casse PQKiHr5qEfA After the top 4 is dominated by ballads, Je me casse wrapped up the top 5 as a banger. I really like the style and instrumentation of the song, and the chorus is very catchy. This reminds me of Fifth Harmony back in the days but this is more modern as well. This song is about women are powerful and independent, and "to never give up on themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin". Chart history: 14-5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Max Richter ft. Mari Samuelsen, Robert Ziegler – Follower (17-6-6) Follower stays at no. 6. Max Richter is a contemporary classical composer and is currently releasing tracks from Voices 2, his upcoming album. This track is hauntingly beautiful, driven by the downward D natural minor scale in the bass. 7. Shamir – Ocean Eyes (17-20-14-5-7) Shamir has its own rendition of Billie Eilish's Ocean Eyes. The arrangement is quite different from the original song with a lot more synths. Shamir is noted for his androgynous countertenor voice and his vocals are very strong in this song and I really enjoy that in this song. 8. VICTORIA – imaginary friend (11-2-1-7-8-8) The arguably more popular potential song to represent Bulgaria in Eurovision stays in the top 10 at the same position. The lyrics relate a lot to me and the instrumentation also gets me too. I'm sure this song will do as well for her if it were to represent Bulgaria. 9. Charles – He Knows (11-9) OFqAYQgpngQ Breaking into the top 10 is Charles's He Knows. This is by far the most successful single from her in the chart, as it became the highest charted song under her name. The structure is special and I really like the later half of the song where the song builds up with the inclusion of more instruments and a different effect applied to her vocal. This is thoughtfully produced. 10. Isyana Sarasvati – IL SOGNO (11-7-10) This is probably the most unique song in the top 10 this week. It combines the elements of opera singing and metal music brilliantly. Isyana Sarasvati was named the "Best Composer of the Year" by MAMA Awards back in 2017 and her arrangement and composition are strong and well-connected in this song. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Kyns – I can never be (26-18-21-11) 12. Hana Oceans – Austers (19-15-12) 13. Dean Lewis – Falling Up (18-23-33-13) 14. iRO – Yesterday’s News (40-16-14) 15. salem ilese – (L)only Child (39-15) 4GAqC-aG2Ic Joint biggest jump alongside Stray, (L)only Child grew a lot due to the memorable and catchy instrumental hook. This song is also concise and packs the usual ABABCB structure in 2 minutes and 29 seconds, which is remarkable! I think the other song did that was mags's music doesn't even help, which is another good song. 16. Senhit – Adrenalina (29-19-16) 17. VICTORIA – growing up is getting old (13-4-2-1-12-17) 18. Cmqmartina – se mi pieghi non mi spezzi (30-18) 19. Mark Clennon, Rainer + Grimm – Stray (43-19) xHQ8n930XbM This grew on me a lot in the last few days. I got into the style and the arrangement of this song is special. The melody is introspective and the instrumentation is neat too. The vocals of Mark Clennon are strong and emotional as well. 20. Primo – Do It Again (27-32-20) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21. Nathalie Brydolf – Fingerprints (5-3-3-4-21) 22. Cassyette – Dear Goth (37-24-22) 23. La rappresentante di lista – Amare (27-12-26-23) 24. Black Honey – Disinfect (34-31-28-35-24) 25. Hidden Citizens, Katie Herzig – I Follow (38-25) 26. Manizha – RUSSIAN WOMAN (47-26) 27. Paul Rey – The Missing Piece (26-34-31-16-27) 28. Anxhela Peristeri – Karma (28-28) 29. CÉLINE – Hotel (15-XX-42-29) 30. Shalisa – Karma (30) oaV8_KAKJlY Although this song is the lowest ranked highest new entry in a while, this song is a banger! The chorus is very catchy. Even though I don't understand Dutch at all, I could feel the music flowing! 31. Ilse DeLange – I Will Help You (31) 32. Irama – La genesi del tuo colore (47-20-18-32) 33. LP – One Last Time (44-33) 34. Lilith Czar, Juliet Simms – King (23-12-6-5-9-34) 35. Tayler Buono – IFHU (35) sfUJuj5YSkw Tayler Buono was once a mainstay in my chart half a decade ago and this is a great banger from her. Her style in this song is very different to what I know and I really like this new style! 36. Rone, Yael Naim – Breathe In (27-36) 37. Motez ft. The Kite String Tangle – Give Me Space (37) 38. Winning Team – Where I Belong (36-38) 39. Architects, Mike Kerr – Little Wonder (39) 40. Confetti – Rush (8-10-29-40) 41. Reiley – Let It Ring (41) 42. Florian Kunstler – Halbe Liebe (42) 43. KOKO, Nina Chuba, Dillistone – 22s (43) 44. Natalia Gordienko – Sugar (29-36-25-44) 45. ABREU – 20 Ave Mariaa (12-35-22-45) 46. Måneskin – ZITTI E BUONI (33-23-46) 47. Lil Nas X – MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) (47) 48. George Glew – Satellites (45-48) 49. Stealth, Aslove – So So Young (49) xoOLCZhjRTw This just made the top 50 but it's extremely catchy! 50. ROSIE – Retail Therapy (19-18-20-4-8-34-50) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 51. Nohanna – Aidinaidin raivolla 52. BATHSHEBA – LALA 53.

Yay for Do It Again appearing here as well. This is my favourite of my BJSC entries in a long time. Montero fantastic video for a good song. I don't quite think the actual song is #1 worthy officially but the video more than makes up for it. Nice chart!

Very shocked not to see (L)only Child somewhere else because it sure is hella catchy and memorable! BJSC always has nice discoveries to be unearthed and I'm glad Do It Again is one of them! MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) is honestly not the type of music I would usually draw to (and to some extent dislike), but the message behind is something I really agree on and totally relate to, and the music video is very controversial but delivers the message well.

Glad to have you back, and thanks for the resume of some I don;t know, looks like Eurovision might be a goodie. I havent heard any of them to date! LP is always good. My cruel friend likes to say I look like her I say he looks like Susan Boyle in reply I find the Lil Nas X track interesting and the video is amazing, but less sweary would convince me more Imagine Dragons and James Newman Ive paid good money to buy, and there's quite a few interesting tracks in your list! welcome back!

Great chart The standard of this year's Eurovision is extremely high and I think it is the best Eurovision in years! MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) is growing on me a lot so expect that to jump a lot higher! Thanks Jade! QUOTE(Popchartfreak @ Apr 5 2021, 05:50 PM) Hi Uhsting! Hope all the studying paid off!

Interesting exchange between your friend! One Last Time still has the LP vibe to it but it is a lot more relaxed compared to her previous single. Thought MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) is not as sweary as other hip-hop songs haha but both Imagine Dragons and James Newman have shown great standard. Thanks John!
