I really don't see how amazing this is now, but it was the best at the time and it gave them their first ever #1!! I am so proud as a fan to have witnessed such an unexpected event!! Amazing :)

This is one of Armin's better tracks. A proper euro dance record fit for gays and gals alike throughout the land although he didn't release it in the uk. Foolish man!!

...and straight guys like myself too! :heart: Armin's been great this year, Intense is one of my top 3 albums of the year and this is one of the highlights!

:D YAY at Kelly being top 10 and it was obvious who your no.1 would be :P

So We'll get cracking with the top 20 then shall we? Here's #20 now ;)

20 | Selena Gomez - Slow Down

Why oh why this never charted above #100 is a bit confusing. It's a great pop record and there it doesn't even hit the 100 mark. Shame on you British public!!

19 | Zara Larsson - Uncover

chart run

[69-64-75-62-xx-62-33-08-10-32-44-47-57-56-37-07-08-19-27-45-48-53-56-63-xx]

JSG PEAK #07 | Official Peak wasn't released
_____
Why this wasn't released in the uk is beyond me. It's an amazing record and the fact, the three places it did chart, it was top 3, I think that says a lot. Come on Zara!!

Uncover would've been big in the UK if they released it imo. It sounds like an improved version of 'Read All About It, Pt. III' and we all know how much the British public loved that.

18 | Cascada - The World Is In My Hands

chart run

[36-02-04-05-05-06-09-09-11-13-xx-43-49-59-33-xx-57]

JSG PEAK #02 | Official Peak Didn't chart
_____
Silly UK people. It's a shame that this didn't chart. It's one of Cascada's best tracks to date and it didn't even make any sort of impact on any chart around the world. Poor Cascada. Once the most relevant dance band around and now they can't even find a top 200 hit without eurovision. Still, it charts at #2 here and is still charting to date.

17 | Ke$ha - The Harold Song

JSG PEAK #03 | Official Peak Album Track

I've no idea why she didn't release this as a single. Itight be a little slow for Ke$ha but it really is an amazing song!! One of my favourite songs ever I'd say :)

16 | Katy Perry - The One That Got Away

chart run

JSG PEAK #05 | Official Peak #18
_____
This is another me moaning post about how this managed to peak at ONLY #18!! Why oh why does the casual music buyer not buy an amazing single like this but get songs like gangnam style to #1? :(
This is without a doubt Katy's most emotional song to date and the video reflects that. It makes me want to cry everytime I watch it :cry: although, a little critique from me, this really shouldn't have been an upbeat number.

15 | Masterblaster - Everywhere

This is just such an amazing dance tune!! Was one of my favourites til earlier this year but I've kinda grown off it now. Still it earned this top 15 position.

14 | Azealia Banks - Yung Rapunxel

My Love for this song blinded me to the fact that this only charted at #149!!! WHAAAAAT? Azealia's best track to date and it doesn't make the top 100. Possibly I just have the shittest taste in music. Hmm... The video is kinda scary...

13 | Icona Pop & Charlie XCX - I Love It

chart run

Truth be told I didn't like this song that much and the two weeks it made it to #1 here were very slow weeks in my chart. Nonetheless it manages to get in here at #13. And this introduced me to Icona Pop so I CANNOT complain!! :D

As bad as this song was, it was a total guilty Pleasure. The video is one of my favourites from them too!! However, this is the track that derailed their plans for world domination..

This is one of my highlights of 2013!! Especially since it charted at #02 in Scotland. Brilliant and it just shows Scotland does have taste!! Anyway this is Armin's most commercial track and most likely his most successful track to Date. When you see the video, it's not hard to see why.
