79. Leona Lewis and Avicii- Collide

 

 

22-27-27-23-20-20-{13}-17-25-32

 

90% of the reason why this song is here is because of Avicii's instrumental Penguin, his proper release of the song is also in the top 100, so look out for that later. This was supposed to be Leona's big come back with a whole new sound, the result, her album Glassheart getting shoved back five months so it could be reworked (aka Spirit 3.0). It is a shame that this flopped as this was an interesting route for Leona to go down, however I expect she will be back to mega ballads only for her singles from now on.

78. Vanessa Amorosi- Amazing

 

 

26-16-21-{5}-12-17-26-32-30

 

Vanessa Amorosi is under appreciated talent. Probably most remembered for Absolutely Everybody. Amazing is one of the many songs of 2011 which was about how good you really are and how life is really good or going to be better. Not the most original song, but Vanessa's vocal means this stands out from the crowd.

77. Supermarkets Ft Danny Saucedo- Crash and Survive

 

 

29-17-17-10-{7}-11-18-33

 

Another song by my future husband, Danny Saucedo :P This time as featured vocalist on a Supermarkets instrumental. This is Supermarkets' only hit on The Martyn Chart. Crash and Survive is a bit of a hot mess of a track and someone rapes the auto tune towards the end. Very much a club track.

76. Nicki Minaj- Super Bass

 

 

{2}-3-8-12-18-25-33

 

Nicki is a bit of a love/hate person, generally for me she falls into hate quite a lot, even if she does seem a bit hilarious in the head. Super Bass was her first major hit in the UK. I was a bit late to the Super Bass party however it is by her best single in her own right.

75. Big Time Rush- Till I Forget About You

 

 

21-{7}-7-21-37-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-21-16-21-31

 

Another song I was VERY late to get into. A combination of it being mistakenly entered into the first BJSC I entered for about a year (having already been entered into a previous contest), them doing some random promotion, and a friend at works daughter looning over. Anyway, one of the few boybands to achieve any mainstream success in America in recent years, Big Time Rush will soon go on tour and aparntly will have One Direction as their opening act. God help America getting The Wanted and One Direction in the first few months of 2012... It could be worse though...

74. Nicole Scherzinger- Right There

 

 

40-27-16-{4}-4-12-19-23-34

 

No short change here! The solo version from Nicole rained supreme here. The most urban sounding of Nicole's singles from Killer Love, it's better than Poison but not as good as the other three singles.

73. Stilettos- Click Click Click

 

 

15-9-{4}-7-12-24-24

 

Had a small looning over this song. Now I only think it is ok. Nothing too special though.

 

 

 

Get ready, a hot mess is next!

72. Natalie Bassingthwaighte- All We Have

 

 

39-15-{2}-11-12-18-27-26-27

 

Oh Natalie... What happened, the much delayed follow to her 1000 Stars era, and Australia either yawned or laughed you off. Although they were starting to yawn towards the end of her last album era. All We Have is trying to be about 6 other songs, and Natalie is trying to be all J Lo. Unfortunately it doesn't really work, neither does Natalie's obscure duet with a robot for the verses. Not sure what that is about. Even with all it's problems the song is kind of addictive, hence why it's here but also explains why despite peaking at number 2 only spent one week in the top 10. Hopefully Natalie will learn from this and release something more original next time around, however it is likely she won't get another chance.

71. The Wanted- Lose My Mind

 

 

36-12-8-{1}-6-15-22-35

 

Despite reaching number 1, fell off the chart 5 weeks later. I really don't know what to think of The Wanted, the band are promoting their arena tour as T.W.A.T so that says enough about them to be honest.

70. Joe Jonas- Just In Love

 

 

23-23-7-{3}-6-19-30-28-37

 

Ah the young "virgin", acting so sexual, this makes sense? Anyway, who would think a Jonas Brother would come out with such a good album. Definitely not me. Anyway it's a shame he can't sing live very well. Oh well, he can stick to looking pretty in his music videos.

69. Demi Lovato Featuring Dev- Who's That Boy

 

 

40-27-19-11-{4}-7-13-14

 

Supposed to be the second single from Unbroken, never really happened. Partly from the slight backlash from her dancing with her backup dancer on GMA, also isn't he a bit odd looking as well as badly dressed. Anyway hope Demi doesn't use this sound more in the future, it doesn't really work for her, luckily since it doesn't sound like a Demi Lovato song it is detached from her so that's how it works.

68. Cheryl Cole- The Flood

 

 

30-X-6-{2}-10-10-15-26-36

 

This feels like it was out much longer than a year ago. Still enjoy this song, unfortunately it was a massive flop for Cheryl, I do hope album 3 has at least on ballad like this. One of the best things about this song is the video, although not perfect (some scenes are clearly used multiple times) really fits the song, and I enjoy the imagery of the video.

67. Melanie C- Think About It

 

 

22-8-{3}-5-11-20-24-38

 

It is a shame no one in the UK really cares who Melanie is anymore. The only Spice Girl still trying to have a solo career, parts of Europe still like her, and so do I. So hopefully if she keeps releasing songs like this the UK might sit up and take notice. Not likely though.

66. Chipmunk Feat. Chris Brown- Champion

 

 

19-15-{3}-4-9-15-26-33

 

Other than the annoyance at the lyric saying if someone tells you you can't just take the t off, which would leave "can'" yes there would still be an apostrophe. If it wasn't for the Chris Brown chorus this song wouldn't be anywhere near as good. Chipmunk is very hit and miss, mostly ending up in the miss pile. This is very much hit, as long as you ignore the less than desirable characters of the people singing it.

65. Cher Lloyd- Swagger Jagger

 

 

15-9-11-{3}-7-15-29-32

 

Oh GOD! Yes Cher Lloyd and her annoyingly catch debut single. Swagger Jagger, bothering my sanity since July, yet some home how lands at 65 for the year. Somehow bringing the lyrics "you can't stop youtubing me" to the airwaves. FRIGHTENING!

64. Sugababes 4.0- Freederm Freedom

 

 

40-40-28-21-10-6-{5}-11-18-24

 

Well this was just a mess wasn't it. The song was good, but so poorly executed, not sure how convincing the Sugababes are in this situation.

63. Sara Bareilles- Gonna Get Over You

 

 

7-{5}-5-5-8-9*

 

After really disappointing me with everything after Love Song, Gonna Get Over You is a massive step up. Such a fun song, despite being about trying to get over someone. It's a bit retro sounding, without sounding dated.

62. Wonderland- Not A Love Song

 

 

40-34-27-23-16-17-21-13-19-{8}-33-33

 

A song which took ages building up on me, and almost as soon as it clicked, it unclicked. RIP Wonderland.

61. Nicole Scherzinger- Try With Me

 

 

8-{1}-3-3-7-13

 

Ah Nicole, what are you doing in the video? Really it is Don't Hold Your Breath 2.0, more on that later.

60. Diagram Of The Heart- If I Were You

 

 

2-{1}-4-8-8-20-30

 

So a song which I only heard from working somewhere I used to work. Shame hardly anyone has heard this song, but don't worry, Scouting For Girls basically sound the same, so just pretend they are the same band.
