Hello. I don't visit these parts much (well, at all) these days but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good countdown. What exactly I'll be counting down and in what number have yet to be decided but when it drops I'm sure it'll be fabulous!

 

 

As usual, the normal LexC disclaimers apply. This thread will not include flashy graphics or animations, the quality of the commentary may vary extraordinarily between sections and I do not claim to have any degree of good taste.

 

 

 

HYPE!

You're a bit of an enigma to me Lex, I look forward to this.

(Last bit of hype before the actual thing begins, I promise!)

 

I shall begin by counting down my top 100 songs of 2013. In order to qualify for this list the songs must have first made an impact on me in 2013. So therefore the following songs will not chart here even though they're among my top tracks of the year because they first impressed me in 2012:

 

Le Youth - C O O L

Icona Pop - I Love It

HERE WE GO. THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS

 

91. VV Brown - Knife

92. will.I.am - Bang Bang

93. Polly Scattergood - Wanderlust

94. Cookies N Beans - Burning Flags

95. Daft Punk ft Pharell - Get Lucky

96. AlunaGeorge - Kaleidoscope Love

97. Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You

98. London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years

99. Jessie J - It's My Party

100. YADi - The Blow

 

-x-

 

Kicking off the top 100 we have a section combining the popular and the obscure, the artistic and the reductive and the successfull and the flops. Get Lucky sees a much lower position here than it inevitably will in the official EOY and is the ONLY appearance of Pharrell on this chart. That's right LexC is AGAINST Blurred Lines. Tracks you might not know immediately include underrated Allecian BJSC flops 'The Blow' featuring Arab Spring-adjacent political video and indie darling Polly Scattergood with what I actually should've sent to BJSC rather than 'Disco Damaged Kid' and Melodifestivalen AC flops/Dixie Chicks tribute band Cookies'N'Beans.

91. VV Brown - Knife absolute stunner! glad it's crept in and expecting a few more v v good ones too!

95. Daft Punk ft Pharell - Get Lucky

97. Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You

98. London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years i like this x

99. Jessie J - It's My Party *.* guiltiest pleasure of the year! So guilty & so so pleasurable

 

B-)

Jessie J ;O

 

Loving the inclusion of Cookies N Beans the most in that section, it seems quite underrated as a Melfest track.

 

And I did not remember having the same top 2 (but swapped around) last year! Fabulous <3

81. Emmelie De Forest - Beat The Speed Of Sound

82. Birdy - Wings

83. Nicole Scherzinger - Boomerang

84. Krista Sigfrieds - Marry Me

85. AlunaGeorge - Attracting Flies

86. Paramore - Still Into You

87. The Vamps - Can We Dance

88. Wilkinson - Afterglow

89. MKTO - Thank You

90. Little Nikki - Little Nikki Says

 

-x-

 

I'd like to declare this section the 'oh I didn't know LexC liked that' section. As usual the obligatory poppy BJSC hits and the first of an undisclosed number of ESC songs appear here. We also see guilty pleasure 'Can We Dance', to which I reply, SHU'UP!. V indie and v hip 'Afterglow', 'Still Into You' and 'Attracting Flies' fill out the rest of this section whilst Emmelie De Forest makes the first of her three appearences from her very good and very underrated post-ESC cash-in album tops it.

Quite a decent section there from what I've heard - although I was never big on Attracting Flies and Still Into You.

 

Can We Dance is a surprisingly good boyband song though, I don't love it but me not hating a boyband song is major praise!

 

Afterglow is a tune! :heart:

-x-

 

OMG doesn't Lex have such 'alternative' tastes! Highlights of this section include the last song we need called 'Radioactive', the soundtravk to the quite terrible film 'Oblivion' called, well, Oblivion. Another in a long line of fabulous Bulgarian ESC songs (R.I.P) and the song y'all were too dumb to appreciate the beauty of in BJSC 'Not That Serious' (totes not bitter or anything).

Need U and Radioactive are jams :heart: but yeah I agree we don't need any more songs called 'Radioactive' :lol: 'Ready Or Not' remains awful though :(
81-90 is quite the perfect section (and a few should be slightly higher tbh). Aside from not knowing Emmelie had other songs.

Still Into You! Attracting Flies! Sirens! Not That Serious (so underrated :()! Radioactive! Samo Shampioni (:()! Gun!

 

Some very good sections coming up here (and no I didn't know you liked some of those).
