Posted December 7, 201014 yr HELLO. Having wasted the past fifteen hours of my life ordering and eliminating the various tracks I've put into a generic 'best of' playlist over the past year and honing it into a top 200, I have finally completed the survey of the truly essential tracks of the year, with the top 97 in particular being incredibly special and all at least 9.5/10 (much to my surprise: this year really HAS been a lot better than it seemed at first for music, hasn't it?). So, I will now proceed to spend the next few weeks announcing them with varying degrees of witty/intellectual/filler commentary, and will not at all give up by #92 and announce the rest in one long post. Promise. Hopefully. ANYWAY, speculate away. A few factoids: - True to Buzzjack form, 140 out of the 200 tracks feature female vocals either the majority of the time or in the main hook. SHAME ON ME. - 8 artists have multiple entries within my top 62. - The top 14 is 100% composed of tracks that are BLOODY AMAZING to the degree that the choruses/best bits of these tracks make me wish to become a Burmese monk and set fire to myself on a busy traffic intersection in tribute to them. I shall start the countdown from 200 at some point later tonight hopefully ;o COUNTDOWN THUS FAR 200 / Jay Sean; Nicki Minaj – 2012 (It Ain't The End) (Jump Smokers Remix) 199 / Girlicious – 2 In The Morning 198 / Glee Cast – Teenage Dream 197 / Amanda Jenssen – I Choose You 196 / Ana Diaz – New Way 195 / Marina and the Diamonds – Girls 194 / Aggro Santos – Candy 193 / James Blunt – Stay the Night 192 / Kristina Pelakova – Horehronie 191 / Nadine – Lullaby 190 / Alex Gaudino – I'm In Love 189 / BC Jean – Just A Guy 188 / The Hoosiers – Choices 187 / Antoine Dodson & The Gregory Brothers – Bed Intruder Song 186 / Groove Armada – I Won't Kneel 185 / Labrinth – Let The Sun Shine 184 / Juliana Pasha – It's All About You 183 / Lail Arad – Captcha 182 / Sabrina Washington – OMG 181 / The Dream – Yamaha 180 / Travie McCoy;

December 7, 201014 yr A top 200! How exciting, I've managed to compile a top 100 after only ever going as far as a top 40 before. It shall be aired in two weeks or so :D Ooh, I haven't heard the 'douse myself in petrol and set myself alight' analogy for a while. They must be good!
December 7, 201014 yr Having decided that my goal in life is now to become Tyron II I anticipate this with anticipation. Mostly because I'm hoping it wont be as sodding predictable as everyone else's admittetly but still. If 'Teenage Dream' is your #1 I will disown you from life. Be aware of this.
December 7, 201014 yr Tyron II? You'll need to find your way to the Caps Lock button first Aled, it's on the left hand side of the keyboard in the middle :P
December 7, 201014 yr I shall be looking forward to this one. Your taste is generally in the not totally awful category so I shall be on the lookout for any gems that have passed me by this year...
December 7, 201014 yr Author You're going to need to UP the ego even more and embrace the irony of acting superior to everyone else but indulging in the WORST MUSIC POSSIBLE if you wish to become NU ME, Aled. ANYWAY, I should probably start this. 200 / Jay Sean; Nicki Minaj – 2012 (It Ain't The End) (Jump Smokers Remix) Well, it's probably apt that I begin with something UTTERLY GENERIC that involves Nicki Minaj. I don't have much time for the original, but the remix is suitably poppers o'clock enough to make the whole thing worthwhile, and throws in a requisite dramatic shit ten to zero countdown. Basically, it's like the remix they did for Down, but with Nicki Minaj instead of Lil Wayne. On board yet? Didn't think so. ONWARDS ANYWAY. BEST BIT: 0:16-23 - the Jay Sean 'OH' clears the dancefloor of rubbishgais, a familiar sounding voice announces Jay Sean RedOne-style, before introducing herself as Nicki Minaj, sending out the instant message to all that, yes, this is generic as hell, but you're going to have fun anyway partying mindlessly to a lyrical Prince rip-off. And not even a GOOD one at that. Girlicious are a group that by all rights should've LONG since done a Girls Can't Catch and split up to earn a more effective and dignified living behind a McDonald's counter in L.A., but judging from their output this year it seems as if they're going to MAKE that overly-ambitious multi-album deal happen come hell or high water, and that we'll be ALL THE BETTER for it. After all, who can argue with an ATC sample as audacious as this coupled with an AMERICAN girl group using the phrase 'DJ better man up'? LOON UP. BEST BIT: 0:37-44 - 'IT'S TWO IN THA MO'NIN' GETCHO HANDS UP, DJ BETTA MAN UP' - amazing. More to the point, what kind of shit clubs are they going to where the DJ has to MAN UP because he's wavering at TWO AM? (HONOURABLE MENTION: the middle eight, whereby anonymous faceless ho #3 of Girlicious FULLY embraces her inner Salt N' Pepa) 198 / Glee Cast – Teenage Dream I have a strange relationship with Glee. I obviously love and live for the show itself the majority of the time, but GOOD GRIEF they've gotten bloody lazy with the performances and rearrangements (or shameless LACK THEREOF). However, every so often they'll pop out a proper a capella glee club style track like this and my faith in Glee will be fully restored - and this version really hits the spot, reminding you just how wonderful the harmonies on the original track (to be seen later...) actually are. I hate myself just a little bit for loving a song as twee and clichéd as this - but really, it's absolutely irresistible. It's wonderfully earnest and delicate, the two things that are often missed out in torch songs which almost always tend to forsake the two for BIG EPIC OVERBLOWN PRODUCTION or something of that sort, so it's more than welcome here. Amanda really excels at pulling off an elegant 50s feel in all of her songs, and the big pay-off in this one comes with the fantastic harmonies from the backing singers. Listen and melt. BEST BIT: 1:05-11 - after the first wave of harmonies in the chorus, they sweep back AGAIN and build to a peak. Glorious. Well, let's be honest here, a song has never sounded more tailor-made to be in an Apple advert than this (let's IGNORE THE FACT IT WAS IN A SAAB ADVERT). And I'm a SUCKER for Apple advert music, so I feel I've justified this inclusion enough for now. 195 / Marina and the Diamonds – Girls POOR MARINA. Unlike Little Boots last year, Marina doesn't even HAVE an obvious excuse for her general floptasticness this year. However, in my head, I like to think the entire reason for the Marina campaign going tits-up was because of her removing the 'botox bitch' line from this album track, which put off the exact amount of people with its overt pandering to avoid offence to stop her from getting to #1 for, oh, let's say, seven weeks with the album. That theory works right? BEST BIT: 1:06-08 - 'ALL THEY SAY IS NA NA NA NA NA' - Marina demonstrates that she has learned adequately from the Gaga school of pop hooks. Gold star! I actually visited him at aggrosantos.com. It was shit. BEST BIT: 1:03-05 - 'I'MMA GIVE YA SOME, OOH, OOH'. Only an ingrate argues with such blatant signposting that it is, indeed, time to dance. Oh, Jason Mraz has a LOT to answer for. The growing trend of doing a stripped-down and ridiculously wet ballad and throwing a ukelele on top to make it peaky enough to have it relate to everyone without them noticing that the lyrics are UTTER SLUSH gets RIGHT ON MY TITS, and you have no idea how much it angers me that I love this. However, James Blunt has always been a secret guilty pleasure of mine, and this trend has indeed continued to the present day. Plus, the bpm and chord progression on this are upbeat and non-cliché enough for me to just about forgive the ukelele and the slush. Let's all take a moment to mourn POOR, BRAVE Slovakia. Having sent the eastern European answer to Alvedansen in an upbeat and thoroughly haunting and elven package and being included in possibly the WORST SEMI FINAL IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING (although with particular reference to Eurovision semi-finals), qualification seemed to be in the bag. Unfortunately, something didn't connect: the camera work was terrible, the language barrier probably stopped the votes flooding in, and the performance was JUST A BIT OFF. And now Slovakia will not be gracing us with their presence at next year's contest. U FOOLS. BEST BIT: 0:24 - I'm not even going to TRY and type the lyrics in, but it's all about that chord progression from what went before. LOVE me a bit of that chord progression, whatever the hell it is. 191 / Nadine – Lullaby Let's also take a moment to mourn POOR, BRAVE NUHDEEN. Having signed up with Tesco and recorded an album which, the record will attest, is likely to be far better than anything Cheryl Cole will record as a solo LP ever, the reports that Nuhdeen was actually a massive cow and her inability to make defences of herself at all understandable to the British population held her back massively in her eternal quest for success. She had the material, but unfortunately, nobody was listening apart from the likes of Jan Moir, who delighted in calling her a cow (now THAT'S how you know things are bad. Or good, either or.) before dismissing Insatiable as being shit. The wounds hurt so much that Nuhdeen went out and stole the drum line from Parachute and recorded this.
December 7, 201014 yr Nothing too tragic too far, haven't heard anything from Season 2 of Glee yet, I'm not a Gleek so can wait until it's on TV :P Kristina's song was nice, not amazing, but she really really should have qualified from that monstrous semi. If not for Tom Dice and Hera Bjork being there, I may not have even bothered tuning in on the Tuesday night it was that dire!
December 7, 201014 yr Your taste is generally in the not totally awful category I have never wished to retract a comment so quickly. Marina aside, the first lot are DIRE.
December 7, 201014 yr 200 / Jay Sean; Nicki Minaj – 2012 (It Ain't The End) (Jump Smokers Remix) 196 / Ana Diaz – New Way 195 / Marina and the Diamonds – Girls 194 / Aggro Santos – Candy 193 / James Blunt – Stay the Night 192 / Kristina Pelakova – Horehronie 191 / Nadine – Lullaby those are all just ok, Feminnem FTW :kink:
December 7, 201014 yr Author I've REALISED I should probably keep these to sentences for the first hundred or so unless I feel the need to extend, otherwise I'm going to be stuck on this FOREVER. The opening lyric 'I SAW YOU IN THE CLUB' almost ALWAYS tends to indicate the next three minutes will be a horrific hot mess of Whitney radio interview proportions, but Alex plus nameless whore overcome the initial disadvantage with some HOT VOX and a piano topline to die for. Frankly, who could say no to a P!nkalike peddling jaunty pop-rock tunes with hooks aplenty? Although I can already attest that this ages FAST, and I'm probably going to HATE this by this time next year. Don't say I didn't warn you when this goes to #1 and BC finds herself the darling of 15 year old rubbishgais across the internet. 188 / The Hoosiers – Choices There's always a risk of overrating the output when a previously-horrific band comes back with something very listenable indeed, although I'd just like to say that this CLEARLY is not the case with Choices, which is, obviously, almost worthy of QUEEN ELLY J herself! In short, more shit bands jumping on the electropop bandwagon in 2011 please. I still can't believe that news coverage of a rant in reaction to an attempted rape was ACTUALLY a concept for a song. And that it ACTUALLY worked amazingly. Seriously, this song just speaks for itself. 'YOU CAN RUN AND TELL THAT, RUN AND TELL THAT, RUN AND TELL THAT HOMEBOY, HOME-HOME-HOMEBOY'. You just CANNOT ARGUE with (transformed) lyrical genius like that - although, for my money, the greatest bit is, of course, 'I WAS ATTACKED BY SOME IDIOT IN THE PROJECTS / SO DUMB SO DUMB etc.'. GENERALLY I just seem to live up to the stereotype with regards to this song (ARE U SRS MA BOI?), because I absolutely live for the moments where the rapee makes cameos. SPECTACULAR. Generally in 2010 we've been LACKING delicate, heartfelt and heartbroken electro-80s-disco, so plaudits all around to Groove Armada for DELIVERING WONDROUSLY with I Won't Kneel by giving us the above whilst seemingly channeling Sharleen Spiteri whilst doing so. 185 / Labrinth – Let The Sun Shine One of the things that annoys me most about this site is the antipathy to pretty much ANYTHING involving a black man (with the possible exceptions of Cee-Lo, will.i.am and Taio Cruz), especially when it leads to stuff like this getting unfairly overlooked. Mainstream electropop this decade has rarely been so sensuous as in the verses of this track. One part northern soul, one part Supernature-era Goldfrapp, one part generic Albanian femlectropop Eurovision entry, all parts fabulous. Another acoustic-y track that really I should be dismissing as UTTER DRECK, but absolute RIDICULOUSNESS of the lyrical concept makes the whole thing just endearing, and Lail really sells it well with such earnest vocal delivery. Gorgeous. Just EIGHTEEN TRACKS IN and we're already onto our third edition in the 'POOR BRAVE X' series - with dear SARABETH being our third recipient for a track which by rights ticked all the 2010 pop hit boxes, but got absolutely no attention whatsoever and flopped massively. LUCKILY however Sarabeth continues to ply her trade in Poland of all places, having performed OMG on LIVE TV there to an audience of several million, and as such is receiving a SECOND SINGLE over there. She's ON THE UP guys! ANOTHER thing we haven't had enough of this year: Prince rip-offs - although after the GODLINESS of QUEEN ELLY J's Quicksand, pretty much everything will fare badly in comparison. This however pulls it off quite well, aping nothing in particular whilst channeling the whole sound and lyrical theme very well - that said, I'm not sure if I can bring myself to forgive the lyrical ABOMINATION that is 'never seen a girl with an ass so fat'.
December 7, 201014 yr Author I have never wished to retract a comment so quickly. Marina aside, the first lot are DIRE. It gets FAR BETTER as I proceed through the list, many in the lower reaches are token entries I feel were underappreciated/many people wouldn't be familiar with.
December 7, 201014 yr I would like to take full responsibility for introduing Tyron to the utter joy that is 'New Way'. It was all me and nothing to do with the heavily promoted advert it was in. Poor brave Nuhdeen. She's now been dropped by Tesco apparantly. I dont think anyone has ever sunk any lower than that ever before in the history of the Alesha Dixon careerspan. I'm unsure of Glee's version of Teenage Dream though, it's a tiny bit $h!t but a tiny bit good at the same time. I'd like to join Dandy in retracting statements though. I never want go follow in the footsteps of anyone who considers James Blunt adequette listening.
December 7, 201014 yr Author Another one that's GENUINELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE to me. Yet somehow it's just so damned feel-good it actually ingratiates itself pretty well - I can't help but smile when the steel drum drop comes in. Now let's just IGNORE how painfully cuntish and obnoxious Travie and Bruno are and let's all not judge me for this one. The Cosmic Love single release came so late as to seem just a token gesture acknowledging how fabulous it was without making ANY APOLOGY WHATSOEVER for the fact it hadn't been released straight after Rabbit Heart, and flopped accordingly much to the tasteful world's disgust. My eternal pain was only soothed by the resultant commissioning of this remix for the single package, which pulled off the odd feat of being somehow chilled out yet danceable at the same time. Those lush guitar pluckings in the background along with the harp get me every time. Fourth installment in the 'POOR BRAVE' series! Xenomania pulled out something Pet Shop Boys-worthy for the Scots manchild more than just a bit reminiscent of a fat-faced Leonardo diCaprio - not that it mattered in the end, when it limped outside of the top forty and left Alex washed up at the age of 18 and probably plying his trade in Soho backalleys just to cover the cost of the train ticket back up north. Just LISTEN to the synth drop at 0:17 or the chorus and try not to go http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/disco.gif. You won't manage, I'm telling you. 176 / Cocknbullkid – Cocknbullkid Having tried and failed to make it big with the electropop brigade in 2009, Anita Blay threw in the Casio and pumped out a wonderfully dainty, jaunty and thoroughly charming slice of Alice In Wonderland-influenced orchestral pop. Which then managed to do a grand total of FUCK ALL, in one of the least surprising pop injustices of the year. If this song catches me at the right moment, I leak a SINGLE TEAR. Unfortunately, most of the time it's just nice background music, which, much as I love her, is Ellie Goulding's greatest and most frequently occurring weakness. Someone CLEARLY forgot to let Plan B know that it is no longer 2007, but I think we can leave him in his ignorance a little longer so long as he's pumping out pastiches of Mark Ronson at his peak, rather than pastiches of Mark Ronson doing pastiches of Mark Ronson at his peak. Noted SOUR-FACED COW I Blame Coco (who looks like Duffy's evil twin) was probably one of the most underrated artists of the year. Quicker, in particular, is the sort of thing I can really imagine QUEEN ELLY J coming back with and defying the WHOLLY UNJUSTIFIED CLAIMS that she is too 2009 to make anything of herself with the second album. Rather disturbingly for my prognosis, however, Quicker flopped. 172 / Usher; will.i.am – OMG Look ALL I'M SAYING is that Usher hatahs have clearly never been on a dancefloor with about three litres of cheap cider and VK mixed with four ProPlus and a sniff of special K in their system when either this or DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love have hit the decks. In my list of 'MORE OF THIS FOR 2011 PLEASE', I would also like to include MORE SCANDITASTIC ANTHEMS FEATURING HARD ROCK GUITARS AND ECHO HOOKS FOR 2011 PLEASE. Just LISTEN to that insistent drum line - the production on this is nothing short of TRIUMPH.
December 7, 201014 yr Psycho :cheer: I'm not sure that my EOY chart will have anywhere near as much BJSC influence as yours and Silas' seem to have had. I only actually counted one BJSC discovery making my top 100 of the year :o Admittedly that song is incredibly high up! edit: tell a lie, it's two - I forgot La Berggren! :wub:

I only actually counted one BJSC discovery making my top 100 of the year :o Admittedly that song is incredibly high up! edit: tell a lie, it's two - I forgot La Berggren! :wub: I have about eight tracks I'd say I discovered from the BJSC in my top fifty, but a few more than that actually in there that were in the BJSC...
December 7, 201014 yr I have about eight tracks I'd say I discovered from the BJSC in my top fifty, but a few more than that actually in there that were in the BJSC... Blimey, your passion for the contest is still unrivalled, I rarely discover anything I truly love from it anymore :( Only one or two week wonders these days... There are a large number of BJSC entries in my top 100 but only two I actually 'discovered' from it :o And only one of those is top 50!
December 7, 201014 yr As a side note, I was hoping Sheelah would pop up in MF next year so I'm disappointed that they haven't :( They've sort of been in it before as part of Caracola so I thought there was a high chance that they'd be back. Looks like they're never going to be a commerical success, or even get any sort of push...
