Well, 2011 has been an eventful year for music for me.

 

I think the way I'm going to do it is as follows.

 

I shall start off with singles. I am counting from the end of last year (barring tracks that I included on my 2010 list that I fabricated a few months ago which I shall post below. I'm saying this to cover things like Invincible and Lose My Mind) to the chart I posted last week. That means that new entries in my weekly chart this week (Little Mix, Dev and Hilltop Hoods principally, but maybe also a couple of Jason Derulo tracks) will be eligible for my EoY chart next year, not this year. If we're still here by then and the Lizardmen haven't destroyed the earth, that is.

 

I'm doing a top 250. It's a lot, but I'm shortening it to basically a top 200 + tracks that missed out by posting the first 50 in one post. I think I'll count down albums when I get down to

the top 100, because that should have covered a lot of my random album tracks that have sneaked in there. I haven't even ranked my albums yet, so I'll just include all 2011 albums I have, but I think you can all guess who's gonna be #1 there. :P

 

Got that! Ok.

 

Without any fancy bells & whistles at all, for comparison, my EoY 2010, because I wasn't here last year and stuff, yet could be bothered to get around to it. Top 5 fabricated runs given where available.

I was going to go down further than this, I do have a top 200 list, but it gets rather average as I go further down, so I don't think I'll bother. Eric Saade is there because I wanted to show him some appreciation, even though I had no idea he existed in 2010. Some other lesser offenders are there also. I haven't done the top of my EoY list yet, because I'll reveal that (by editing this post) as I go on with my all-time countdown in the Lounge. Got that? *breathes* And yes, there are 18 songs of 2010 left. I think.

 

Right, that's inconsequential to the subject at hand. I'll post 250-201 and continue this on as I see fit. Should be done by mid-January or something.

So, mostly a host of BJSC entries to start us off, ah, I love that contest. A few album tracks from acts I like too. Also a lot of decent but not amazing tracks that have been big (or not) around the world. Just namechecking these songs, some of them I was obsessed with for a little bit, some not so much.

Right! 200-191... (Also, less of the lists from now on, more of the commentary)

 

200. Aura Dione - Friends

 

01-08-23-40-47.... (still charting, just)

 

So, it's probably fitting that I start off with my biggest one-week obsession this year. More about the rest of the album later, but along with the rather nice Geronimo, Aura managed to turn out this fairly wonderful pop/hip-hop crossover, with a rather epic hook line for an album track 'At least I've got my friends' is a wonderfully simple line. It may not be the most subtle or beautiful track on the album, but it's the most fun. Sadly my interest in it plummeted pretty soon after hearing it, leading to a chart run that should be mocked. Now is probably a good time to say that this isn't being based on points or anything like that, it's just how I feel. It's coincidence that my least successful #1 happens to be at the bottom of my EoY chart. (This is excluding Unfaithful, Rhinestone Eyes and Dare, I don't feel they fit in on an EoY 2011 chart, besides I was just getting my chart started then)

 

 

24-20-31-43

 

One of the trashiest, messiest and utterly forgettable top ten hits of the year is this one. I reportedly rather liked it. I do, still. However, like Loca People a few places below it, I never found the room to move it up in my chart, and it was only a fleeting obsession, just like its brush with the official charts. Anything from Barbados (which normally means just Rihanna, so hypothesis proven), I easily fall for, so despite this being trashy, and maybe even because of it, I find it rather irresistible. Still fairly forgettable though.

 

 

DNC

 

Something with a bit more class than the previous two tracks, perhaps. Mel C's efforts this year have been rather appreciated by moi, even though I'm yet to get round to getting the album, it should be a stomper based on Burn, Think About It and Rock Me. I never got round to charting either of the former two tracks, though. However, I'm quite pleased that Think About It managed to flop in at #93 or somesuch low number in the UK charts. I didn't think she'd even chart; so it's nice to see someone's still buying into her. It's a fun track, and has some good moments on it, but it's not really a fave as such.

 

 

06-26-38

 

For a minute I thought this was Olly's highest entry this year, which would have been funny, looking at that disastrous chart run, and given that Please Don't Let Me Go got that #44 last year. He does OK with ballads, but they don't really have lasting appeal. I don't even remember this much in my chart, it must have been before I started posting on Buzzjack. Oh, I remember the track fine, but it's been eclipsed as we've moved on in the year. I didn't expect him to have such a huge second era though, more on that later. It's ballady. And male. And pop. Olly is actually very different from other male singers on the market, that's what makes him stand out. He's actually rather interesting. I still am not a huge fan, he can get the definition of a semi-one-hit-wonder for me. (Please Don't Let Me Go :wub:)

 

 

35-28-19-37

 

When 2011 started and the first few hits turned up, I was convinced that this would be Skylar Grey's year, both for me and commercially. So I was a little disappointed with what she turned out with in Invisible. It's nice enough, and I like the lyrics of the song, but this clearly isn't Skylar at the top of her game, and the public don't seem to think so. Can I steal a POOR BRAVE?

 

 

23-23-23-36

 

Well, as far as perennial featurers go, Sia's overtaken Skylar in my affections, particularly in the latter half of the year. This may be an 2010 track, but it's like the only one in here, and I clearly didn't know about it before. It's really infectious, and like every track I've heard of Sia's: amazing. I want 2012 to be Sia's year so much, and as she seems to be featuring on a lot more tracks recently, it's looking rather good for her to finally have some commercial success. I'm sure you know that this is not the only track with Sia on it in here... :kink:

 

 

20-37-46-39-46

 

The first of quite a few BJSC entries to show up in my top 200, and one that I still can't believe did quite as badly as it did. When I first heard it, I was convinced it would smash and light up the scoreboard, so for it to come last in its semi, the mind boggles. Hopefully it'll get some sort of redemption in the Rejects, and it's one of my tips to do well. The track itself has an irresitible chorus, and what it lacks on vocal power, it makes up for in pure energy. One of the better obscure pop tracks I've come across this year.

 

 

29-24-32-46

 

Another BJSC entry, Andain gives us a wonderful haunting track that manages to be incredibly summery and feel-good at the same time, despite being rather slow. I'm not surprised this did so well in such a strong monthly contest, and while it didn't do a whole lot in my chart, I still really liked it, so it gets a very well deserved spot in the top 200.

 

 

33-34-44-x-45-46-32-29-15-26-38-48-49-50

 

One of my more interesting chart runs up ahead. I didn't think a whole lot of Bass Down Low at first, even though I wanted to like it, as since then, I'd gotten over hating Like A G6 and Dev seemed like a good bet to get behind. As it rose up the chart though, I began to get a little bit obsessed. It's trashy, but it's unique enough for a club banger, and despite loads of people considering it akin to the devil when it got released, I rather love it. In The Dark wasn't nearly as good, though. Her new one, Naked, is looking good to be a hit in early 2012 in my chart at least, though.

 

 

DNC

 

Something happened to me and Eurovision this year. I actually watched it (and got to know the entries as well). I'd done the former but not the latter beforehand, leaving my best impression of ESC 2010 being Opa! Still, that means there's a lot of retro ESC entries for me to explore when I can be bothered. One of my highlights this year, was the rather intriguing track from Estonia, which I remember underperformed expectations. It didn't actually grow on me until after the contest, but it is a pop TUNE.

 

Probably moving out of the trash-pop zone soon, no word on whether that is confirmed or not though.

 

 

73-14-03-04-15-25-39

 

The first of my 4 BJSC entries, and, ironically, probably the most successful (I tiebroke Cady and Alyssa because I was bored, Alyssa had 14 votes, Cady had 13), I was obsessed with this for about a week, which is why I sent it. It's a little bit generic though, and repetitive, and Alone Again is better. As shown by that disastrous chart run. Well, disastrous for both a climber and a top 3 hit. Do listen to it though, it's infectious and energetic. I wouldn't have sent if I didn't like it somewhat, but yeah, my least favourite of the 4.

 

189. Alexis Jordan - Laying Around

 

28-04-03-11-18-17-36-48

 

And it's the first song by the act that I LOON for. Well, my favourite new singer around. Well, the cutest new singer around. Anyway, this was an instant favourite when I first got the album, time hasn't been great to it, but I still think it's the most emotional thing Alexis has put her name to, minus some slightly embarrassing lyrics that are worse than the 'cake moment' on Good Girl. It has made me cry before, so it's a sentimental favourite.

 

 

43-49

 

So, I ended up liking this far more than I gave it credit for in that chart run. Well, Inna produced one of my favourite songs of last year, Amazing, so a new one was always going to generate interest. Medium airplay, medium hype, meant I was never overly enthused with it, but it's a decent early summer tune. I like Romanian dance.

 

 

08-08-10-13-20-32-43

 

Oh, and look, there's another one. The prime example. I still can't believe how huge this got. When I first heard of it, I thought it was going to flop. A month or so later, and everyone knew it. I loved it at first. When I began to hear it blasting out of cars while walking down the street, that's when I got a little sick of it. Since I'm not hearing that now, I like it again. Yay. Get Back ASAP I really didn't like as much, but I do kinda hope that Alexandra isn't a one hit wonder, because I do really quite like this.

 

 

07-09-07-10-16-30-38-45

 

You know, I really liked Jessie J at first. Do It Like A Dude was catchy as hell, and Price Tag was fairly good. But then airplay ruined Price Tag for me beyond all recovery, and she just seemed to get crazier and over-the-top the more I heard. Nobody's Perfect still has some power behind the chorus though, and it's an enjoyable song that I really liked for about... a month (judging from the chart run). She's lost it for me with Who You Are though. Terrible song. She's a good lyricist and rhythmist, if only she were a better singer. There are a few bits in this song that are really annoying, judging from listening to it now.

 

 

28-40

 

Katy B is another act I've grown to really like over the year. I mean, at first, I disliked On A Mission and Lights On... :o Then I got the album and it all changed. Easy Please Me is a really laid back track that I think is impossible to dislike. Very lovely. More on Katy B later.

 

 

15-26... (still charting)

 

An entry from the most recent BJSC that I didn't get the hype behind at first, sorry Liam. It has an awesome instrumental and is a rather fun track. Probably won't last too long in my chart, but I liked it enough to get it onto the lower regions of this area. I know nothing of Nylon, the group they used to be, but I thought it was a fun little anecdote that they'd had some minor hits in the UK before. The video I think is a real hot mess. No idea what's going on there. :lol:

 

 

51-56

 

*sigh* A beautiful track that was such a grower and ended up being one of my favourite tracks from XXXVIII post-contest. So, I didn't vote for it. Real shame on me. I began to love it post-contest. And definitely worthy of being in my EoY chart. I love the way it just builds and builds throughout the track. According to the video, it's a much older track, but well, it's very deserving.

 

 

34-29-34

 

The first of three entries for Gaga in my EoY countdown, I maintain that it was nice to see another Gaga ballad released, even if I never loved this for very long. It's quite a complicated song, so I do appreciate it coming along. Gaga might as well put in some depth to the songs as well as the videos.

 

181. Kana Nishino - Aitakute Aitakute

 

09-18-30-42-41-49

 

One of the first J-Pop things I got introduced to, and I loved it. Shame no-one else seemed to. The chorus that comes around so many times, and is completely lovely. I have no idea what she's saying, but I know it's gotta be beautiful. The best thing about it is that it never seems to end, and when it finally does, you just want to go and listen to it again.

Nice to see a couple of Caerfyrddian entries appear in your top 250! Glad you're liking Rebekka Karijord's track a lot more now ^_^

I think there's one more still to come! :kink: :D Yeah, you seem to send a lot of good entries all the time.

 

At the time, I don't think Rebekka was even in my top 15 to vote for :(. It's now one of my favourites from that contest. Really beautiful.

Kana Nishino is JAPANESE! Not K-Pop :(

 

And I wonder if IU will enter :o

Ok, J-Pop then. I'll edit that. That must be why it sounds different.

 

We'll have to see. :kink:

Ahh your new name, didn't recognise u there :P

 

Presumably IU should come soon? It debuted higher than Kana :D

It's only for Christmas. Because it's cold, and my name is Iz, and because it sounds like Ice, or Eyes. So many puns in one name! I'll go back to Eyes once Christmas is over.

 

IU did debut higher than Kana, correct. We'll have to see just how high up it is. ^_^

I thought it was read 'Is Cold' :lol: Good to see two Kluminican entries so far! Don't suppose there'll be anymore? :kink: Good start to your countdown, nice to see a variety of music in there :D

I always get that problem. It's just a convenient way of spelling my nickname, but it does get confused.

 

I think Unicorn Kid just missed out on the top 250 (in the last 10 or so I eliminated before). Your entries always seem to be rather good but not great, of course, that could be changed soon (had I not run into Geronimo before XXXIX and overplayed it so much, I might have given it a few points) ... I think Wanessa's my favourite so far. However, having said that, I am currently quite enjoying discovering Loco from the Rejects. :kink:

 

I like my varied taste sometimes. :D

Glad your enjoying my entries! I thought there wouldn't be anymore, seeing as I remembered that you seemed to like Sticky Dough and Geronimo the most, and if they only made the top 250 then... you get the picture. Same in your case actually, I gave Cady 10 points in the semi, but then I think none in the final :kink: I still wasn't clued up with how BJSC works even after 4 contests. I thought it would smash :drama: Although I still do kinda like it :blush:

10 points in the semi! :o So that's how it managed to be my best performing entry in the semis! I'm used to scraping through and doing slightly better beyond that. Thanks, even if you didn't give any later. I think the worst I've done in that regard is when I gave Stilettos in XXXIX 7 points in the semi and none in the final, but then I gave Aura 5 points and none in the final...

 

It's rather infectious, I can see why it didn't get through, though, especially with the recent conversation in the Rejects thread.

I'm following this and will comment as soon as some Rontvian entries appear throughout! Nice start although the best is clearly yet to come!

Rontvian entries? What makes you think there'll be any of THOSE? :D

 

 

29-25-47

 

Rap haters, look away now. This is a great hip-hop song, and one of the better ones in it's genre. The backing instrumental is genius and quite haunting, and while the lyrics may be typical N'Dubz, the whole thing is quite cohesive and enjoyable to listen to. One of the better songs off of Love.Live.Life, and I gave it a late charting, so that'd be why it has such a short run. Not an all-time favourite, but one of the better hip-hop songs around.

 

 

29-32-44

 

Oh, look, there's a Rontvian entry. I actually love this far more than that chart run shows, I've played it so many times since the contest. It took it's time to grow on me, but it's absolutely beautiful, wonderful discovery. I use the word haunting far too much, this is really hauntingly beautiful, and while it's the only thing I've heard from Elsiane, it's awesome [/gushing about it]. I only gave it 1 point. I believe my 6, 4,3 and 2 pointer from that contest haven't made it in (and my 8-pointer is down in the 201-250 region). Shows how much my opinion can change.

 

 

15-20-31-48

 

I know of Pia Toscano as 'someone off American Idol'. Actually, the only person I'm aware of who was recently on American Idol. I don't even know who won. :o Nevertheless, this is a really nice song that manages not to be generic by sounding inspirational. I find it really hard to work out an order for the contest in which this one was entered, but beyond this, I think the ones left (4 if my calculations are correct) have some sort of semblance of order, but another day I could swap this one for Promises, Ring Meg, Wherever You Are, We Shine, or indeed any of them from that contest.

 

 

04-04-12-14-24-38-48

 

The first of Take That to appear in my top 200, and they've had a good year with regards that. Love Love is my least favourite of the singles from the Progress era though (maybe barring When We Were Young) but it's still pretty good. It's just a rehash of Kidz though, which drags it down a bit, even though I loved it right at the start, it didn't last TOO long in my affections. I can't even remember what it did in the proper charts off the top of my head, well, it did have a bit of a yo-yo chart run, I think. Progressed as a whole was a rather nice album, more on that later.

Ok, that crazy chart run is from the days before I put my chart into Excel and it was easy for me to completely miss something in my previous week's top 40 (which is why when I backdated to a top 50... you get the picture). ANYYYWAAYYY, this is another lovely hip-hop song. It's brilliant in that it doesn't take itself seriously at all, and the popularity it's had with my friendship group probably helps me to like it. Supposedly about some Superbowl teams, the chorus is impossile not to sing along to.

I think this is Scandipop? :unsure: Anyway, the duo of Young London have a very infectious song here, that I managed to quite like. Alas, by the time it was sent to BJSC, I was a bit over it, but it's still great and I considered voting for it. The chorus is by far the best part, but the rhythm on the verses is still rather good.

And here is why my EoY chart should be so unpredictable. I'm not sure why I kept this top 10 for so long, well, I was a bit obsessed with it for a bit, but the run after it leaves the top 10 is quite laughable. Singles from Recovery go LTWYL>>>Not Afraid>>>this>>>>No Love. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I have 173 songs that are better. I think. Can I just laugh again at that unreal chart run? And that is the full one.

No. #2 of Alexis ballads, and the most stripped back them. Like Laying Around, it's really emotional, but the thing that makes this one so great, is that, out of all the songs on her album, it shows the most that SHE CAN SING! :wub: I think it's the last album track showing up here, the rest of the Alexis tracks are singles. I'm not sure if it's the last album track period, I can't remember.

Another infectious and tenacious BJSC entry here. The style of vocals are similar to Elsiane's, I think, but a little more upbeat. The chorus is fairly brilliant, and this one didn't take long to grow on me, which is why I gave it 10 points in that contest. Still 3 more to come from that one. Maybe it didn't have a long chart run, but most of my obsession came the week of the final (which is quite lucky for Cal ^_^)

So, yeah, one of the incredible promotional singles Guetta used. His promotional singles trumped all the proper singles. Easily. Night Of Your Life features Jennifer Hudson who makes this song, along with some incredible rhythm. I'd love to hear it at a party. I heard it while shopping once, and I almost danced then. A wonderful dance conclusion to a rather... hip-hop/indie selection from these ten.

 

*Waits..* :D

I'm stretching it out a bit! :lol: Plus there's my thread in the Lounge that I'm doing at the same time. I'll try to do about 10 a day though. :D

How does the one in the Lounge work? Bit puzzled on the entire topic :unsure: ..

That's my favourite 100 songs of all time there. You can follow it if you want. It's mostly big hits from a few years ago, but it's all stuff I really like. I just happen to be doing it at the end of the year, so I end up doing two at a time.
