Songs of the year

 

01 Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne 'Rather Be'

03 Kiesza 'Hideaway'

04 Sigma 'Nobody To Love'

05 Rixton 'Me And My Broken Heart'

06 Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars 'Uptown Funk' (new to me but I think come a year from now this'll be just as classic as Rather Be feels now, it's already made a big impact from a couple of listens)

07 Calvin Harris 'Summer'

 

Great, love all of these now

 

08 Ed Sheeran 'Sing'

09 5 Seconds Of Summer 'She Looks So Perfect'

10 Ed Sheeran 'Thinking Out Loud'

11 DVBBS & Borgeous feat. Tinie Tempah 'Tsunami (Jump)'

17 Ella Henderson 'Ghost'

22 Pitbull feat. Ke$ha 'Timber'

23 Ben Haenow 'Something I Need'

25 Sam Smith 'Money On My Mind' (would have been higher but the later singles and his uninspired look have put me off it a lot now)

 

Average

Really surprised by some of the songs I've loved this year as they're not my usual sort of style! Overall a pretty good year! :)

Dan, I spoke to Jáhq for you (he's away right now so won't be reading the forum much), he says it's fine for you to tot these up and it will be interesting to see how they differ from the #1s of the Year thread with different scoring systems :D

brilliant! I better start spreadsheeting now then. I won't reveal any results until the thread's died down a bit to give everyone a chance to rank the #1s.

 

and so yo all know I'll only be counting the ranks since all the #1s of the year were confirmed (i.e. since this post)

Better make a fresh one then! :magic:

 

These I like:

01 Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne 'Rather Be'

27 Take That 'These Days'

28 Rixton 'Me And My Broken Heart'

These were ok:

31 Sam Smith 'Stay With Me'

32 Ed Sheeran 'Thinking Out Loud'

33 Calvin Harris 'Summer'

I don't have positive things to say about these:

36 5 Seconds Of Summer 'She Looks So Perfect'

37 Aloe Blacc 'The Man'

38 Ben Haenow 'Something I Need'

38 Gareth Malone's All Star Choir - Wake Me Up

We got 35 rankings and I put them in a spreadsheet and here are the results of said adding up...

 

#38 Gareth Malone's All Star Choir 'Wake Me Up' (-337 points)

 

 

#37 will.i.am feat. Cody Wise 'It's My Birthday' (-310 points)

 

 

#36 Cheryl feat. Tine Tempah 'Crazy Stupid Love' (-201 points)

 

 

Predictably the bottom 2 belongs to Gareth Malone's All Star Flop and will.i.am with their mass-hated songs. Wake Me Up broke the record for least weeks spent in the top 40 for a #1 single (not a good record to have) and it got outsold by the original Wake Me Up even when you take out 2013 sales. It's My Birthday is a bit crap despite will.i.am usually being good. Cheryl shouldn't really be this low but I'm not a huge fan of Crazy Stupid Love so no big loss. I'm sure Joseph will have a mini rant though so you've got that to look forward to.

What do the points represent?

 

Also erm at 'Crazy Stupid Love' finishing below 'I Don't Care'.

How are the points calculated? Might have missed a post about it...

 

I just thought you'd give 38 to someone's top and then all the way down.

What do the points represent?

people's rankings.

 

I may as well explain now, #01 = 19 points, #02 = 18 points, etc. ... #19 = 1 point, #20 = -1 point, etc. ... #38 = -19 points

I just thought you'd give 38 to someone's top and then all the way down.

I was going to do it like that but there was a ranking with only 15 songs so I changed the system to make it slightly fairer. Plus it's always fun to see minus numbers
