January 1, 201312 yr Author Py_-3di1yx0 #7: Lana Del Rey – Ride [1-1-1-3-6-5-1-1-3-7-11-13-20-24] (still charting) The lead single to Lana’s Paradise EP, this has become my favourite song of hers. It came along a tad too late in the year to achieve a deserving EOY position, but it currently holds the record for longest run at #1 with, as you can see, 5 weeks at the top. I really don’t know what else can be SAID about this song at this point, but it is a 10/10 song and its #32 peak in the UK was absolutely appalling.
January 1, 201312 yr Not one to normally defend Lana but below "Call My Name"? And Charli? What a joke Umiiruka have turned into, I reckon there's been a last minute switch just to spite me. :angry:
January 1, 201312 yr This Top 10 is turning out to be rather shit. Only here for Cheryl and the two Shy'm tracks sadly.
January 1, 201312 yr Author ARE YOU HAPPY NOW JACK IYT6rbxNn30 #6: Cheryl Cole – Call My Name [3-2-2-2-2-4-7-8-6-10-12-17-20-24-24-31-32-38] Cheryl’s comeback single had a lot to prove, and ‘Call My Name’ more than proved everything it set out to. It proved Cheryl could do commercial without being insanely generic (*waves at Tulisa*), she can make a video of the quality a global superstar would be proud of, and she can still sell like nobody’s business (at least on the singles chart). When it comes to Cheryl’s singles, this outstrips all bar ‘Promise This’ (and maybe ‘3 Words’) and laughs in the face of ‘Fight For This Love’. It of course launched the album A Million Lights which was beaten by that Justin Bieber album in week 1 but went on to massively outsell it in the longrun.

January 1, 201312 yr Author 8OXIOby3dFo #5: Shy’m – On Se Fout De Nous [15-15-4-2-3-3-6-7-4-7-10-14-14-19-24-29-34-34-39] (still charting) One of the longest running chart hits of the year, the second single from Caméléon was slow to grow on me, hence the chart run. Not that peaking at #2 is bad or anything, but for a song that’s been so huge it feels like it should have gotten some time at #1 (see also: #6). For the second single of any artist to be in my EOY top 5 is quite insane, and it really says a lot about just how massive Shy’m has been in Umiiruka this year.
January 1, 201312 yr Author P1uzK828bG4 #4: Frost – The Woods [16-18-29-34-36-9-12-12-14-11-10-4-6-1-1-3-6-10] (still charting) Another one of my favourite BJSC entries, this has had an absolutely mammoth run on my chart. It will presumably break the record for the longest run in my top 40 (currently 21 weeks – ‘The Woods’ is on 18), and had it come earlier in the year could quite easily have taken the #1 EOY spot. But alas, it wasn’t quite to be. ‘The Woods’ is a fantastic song, with gorgeous production and vocals. Unfortunately it wasn’t super instant (which was to its detriment in BJSC performance), but the fact that it gradually crept up on me led to a rather fabulous chart run.
January 1, 201312 yr Come back when people are actually CHECKING for your "best Asian flops of the year" countdown. That's because Buzzjack are CLUELESS on Asians. Bring this to Popjustice, I'll have your chart MURDERED by mine! :angry:
January 1, 201312 yr Author H7HmzwI67ec #3: Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen – Good Time [5-2-2-4-3-1-1-3-5-9-13-14-18-16-23-32-38] One of my songs of the summer, this collaboration of one-hit wonders was the feelgood anthem of 2012 for me. It far outstrips anything either artist has done by themselves (yes, even ‘Call Me Maybe’), and should have given both Carly and the strange man she dragged along with her major career boosts. Unfortunately Owl City remained as floppy as ever and Carly’s album was DOA. But I love it, and apparently so does Silver Rocket, and really that’s all that matters. So our remaining songs are... Ellie Goulding – Anything Could Happen Shy’m – Et Alors! Feel free to predict the #1. Or not. Whatever.
January 1, 201312 yr Author 5hzgS9s-tE8 #2: Ellie Goulding – Anything Could Happen [1-1-1-1-2-4-4-6-5-5-6-11-12-16-21-26-32-40-40] The lead single from Ellie Goulding’s second album Halcyon, ‘Anything Could Happen’ ended a tad higher on this countdown than I’d place it were it based on opinion. Four consecutive weeks at #1 is a record, but in this time she also took the record for lowest selling #1. But the song did continue to grow in my affections and it’s now one of her very best. Still not a patch on stuff like ‘Lights’ or ‘Starry Eyed’, but then it’s hard to stand up to them. Which means #1 is: 2zdqymnZoHc #1: Shy’m – Et Alors! [5-4-6-8-2-1-1-1-3-7-8-7-9-13-17-20-24-29-34-38-40] My personal song of the summer and the longest running top 40 hit ever in Umiiruka, ‘Et Alors!’ storms to the EOY #1 position! It took the #1 position on my YTD chart from Cheryl quite early in the year and never let go after that! Still a song I listen to most every day and one of the best songs on my favourite album of the year, the production of this is just fabulous and the video is amazing too. Shy’m couldn’t be any more fabulous, I want to be her best friend. It is my #1 ambition in life to see her live. SOON, Shy’m, SOON. And that's it - see you next year, everyone!

January 1, 201312 yr WOO "CALL MY NAME"! Pleased it's top ten here, despite you not placing it at #1 :angry: I've not idea what that #1 is, but #2's good (even if it's inferior to "Figure 8"). Post a recap though as I can't be bothered going onto the previous pages :)

January 2, 201312 yr NO at that #1. Just going to pretend the French language doesn't exist (poof goes half of your entire top 100) so the QUEEN reigns victorious. *insert bow emoticon* Yay at 'Sweet Nothing' cracking the top 30 despite never making your weekly top 10, I suppose that's the JASON MRAZ of your chart (except obvz a lot, lot better).
