13 | Lily Allen


Lily Allen is as part of British culture as a cup of tea is to England culture, or fish & chips to Britain as a whole. The fish and chips is probably more like Lily though. She's had some amazing tracks down the line, but then she's had some naff ones, well not really naff ones, just ones that aren't amazing :lol: She Came storming into our charts with smile in 2006 You could be forgiven for thinking that she hasn't actually been around for nearly 8 years but hey, it HAS been a while.
She released her debut album alright still in 2006 and it was a worldwide hit charting in the top 40 of almost every country it was released in. Lily Allen is truly an amazing artist. She's the 13th artist I look forward to seeing in 2014. After her cover of Somewhere Only We Know by Keane arrived it showed how versatile she can be. Her controversial (not so big) hit Hard Out Here came out shortly after but failed to make as big an impact as most of her other material and it'll probably end up on the British music pile of obscurity.

12 | One Republic
Truth be told I really don't like One Republic that much, but they've just had the biggest hit of their career (That took about 6 months to grow on me!! That's a long time!) and now they are about to release another surefire top 10 hit with Alesso - If I Lose Myself. I suppose they can only get better in my eyes though, if the new track is anything to go by and I am quite excited to see what happens next year. Will they slide into obscurity for another 3 years? This Time I hope not!

WHAT <_< Secrets is one of the best singles :(

Not for me though. You should be happy they are even in here. This time 6 months ago I could not stand One Republic.

Well I guess your Number 1 was the least surprising chart position of the year :P

As for the rest of the Top 10... I'm really happy with 'Hands Clean' at #2, probably my joint favourite Alanis song :wub:

Thought 'Disco Love' and 'All Night' would have been higher than where they ended up.

Olly Murs really at #3? It's a decent song but I'm still surprised it's that high!

Biggest LOL moment of the Top 40 is Tulisa showing up at #30 :lol:

Oh, and good to see 'Wildfire' in the Top 40 too!

A pretty good run down overall :D

How Dare you rip the piss out my rundown :P Glad you enjoyed :)

Littlest Things is one of Lily's best! :( Hard Out Here is AMAZING though and fast becoming my favourite by her (my current favourite is The Fear).

 

Both of her albums are in my top albums of all-time also :wub:

11 | Cascada

Let's face it, Cascada are one of the most underrated bands of our time. From the glorious (no pun intended) The World Is In My Hands to the Glorious Erm... Glorious!! THEY'VE NEVER HAD THE CHART SUCCESS THEY deserve bar their debut track Everytime We Touch. Their Latest effort The World Is In My Hands didn't chart anywhere on the planet. Nowhere! It's hard to believe they stormed onto the music scene 10 years ago next year.. since then they've released flop after flop, but hey, I love them!!

10 | Gary Barlow

Wow! I had no Idea how successful Gary Barlow was until I read something the other day. I had no idea That he had solo stuff out before now. If Let Me Go is anything to go by though, he's gonna be amazing next year!! He's the man of the moment :heart: *SWOON*

09 | Avicii

Avicii is Producer of the year in my eyes!! He's been pumping out hit after hit after hit after hit and his latest effort is nothing but astounding. A cross between Dance and Country makes for an excellent listen to say the least. It's lovely to see someone bring country back to the top ten of the uk charts. If This year is anything to go by then Avicii is gonna have us spellbound next year!!

08 | Britney Spears

Britney Britney Britney. Two Words. WORK BITCH!! It looked to be the comeback of the year!! Jumping on the Dance Bandwagon, but doing it better than anyone else and then... Nothing. Work Bitch flopped :( Well by Britney standards anyway. It got her another top ten hit though which is fantastic. She's got quite the collection of hits now hasn't she. Follow Up single Perfume takes her back to her pop roots, sounding more like Britney that burst on to the scene to begin with... You just knock her down and I for one hope she's does a Cher (Stay around for 500 years :lol:).
I can't wait to see what she's got lined up for next year!!!!!

Britney doesn't really have a stand out single!! All of her material is amazing so let's pay homage by running down my 5 favourite Britney singles!

5th favourite Britney single ever!!

05 | STRONGER


I think this was the first change in her musical direction that I noticed. Britney sounded more feisty than ever and that seemed to reflect in the words and Sound of the song!!! BTW she can do some cool things with a chair. :lol:
