46 | Justin Timberlake – Not A Bad Thing [10-4-3-6-6-8-6-9-10-10-12-15-18-23-27-33-36-40-xx] 18 Weeks

47 | Neon Jungle – Braveheart [14-12-14-13-6-7-10-16-19-24-29-33-36-38-xx]

48 | Kylie Minogue – I Was Gonna Cancel [19-13-12-6-8-10-17-25-36-xx] 9 Weeks

49 | Lifehouse - Flight [29-] *Still Charting*

50 | Nicki Minaj – Anaconda [25-22-17-16-23-27-30-34-39-35-37-40-xx] 12 Weeks

 

In this bottom bunch we have a song about bottoms from Nicki Minaj, totally bonkers but totally amazing. Lifehouse came back with a lush new single, which has since gone to #1 in my chart. Kylie's lowest peaking single and shortest chart run next, I Was Gonna Cancel is just so, meh, but still, good. Neon Jungle were kinda floppy, but this was a big hit in the real world and in my chart, one of the best on their albus. JT next with the last single from him supber 20/20 Experience era. Gorgeous song, even if the edit adds in a fuck.

41. The Saturdays – What Are You Waiting For? [8-9-7-13-21-35-29-33-35-xx] 9 Weeks

42. Christina Perri – Burning Gold [10-5-4-3-3-6-13-20-31-40-xx] 10 Weeks

44. Colbie Caillat - Try [23-22-21-22-26-20-18-18-21-25-28-38-xx] 12 Weeks

45. Conchita Wurst – Rise Like A Phoenix [8-9-13-22-30-39-xx] 6 Weeks

 

Sebby gifs are in, can't reject my fave Romanian.

Eurovision time with winner Conchita who has a superb voice. A very Bond-esuq tune with a lovely dramatic ending, lovely. Colbir Caillat pulled a Beyonce with her new album,

kind of. She released an EP of half of it, then the whole thing. Try was the single and is gorgeous, with a stunning video. Co-written by Godly Jason Reeves, so obs it's good.

Iggy Iggy with Rita Whora next. She will never beat Bounce, but this is a close second in terms of her singles. The chorus is the best part of the song, but that video steals the show,

totally. FYI, it's since dropped out my chart.

Christina Perri for the first but not last time with second single from her latest album. Burning Gold is a nice midtempo number with a great build up. One of the best from her

album I think. The Floperdays GH was a massive bomb, as was this single. Generic and faceless, but utterly enjoyable nevertheless.

Edited December 18, 201410 yr by Regina

What Are You Waiting For is such a jam. So generic, but such a jam.

AMAZE no.1 in the albums. My album of the year too. Go Slaystacia. Good to see Maroon 5 that high up too.

'Braveheart' :wub: One of the songs of the year for me, so glad to see it feature here. Hope they have more bangers for us in 2015 <3

 

Yay for 'Anaconda' and 'Black Widow' too. 'What Are You Waiting For' got old VERY fast for me oops.

I Was Gonna Cancel was Kylie's best song this era for me shockingly, just really fresh from her and she sounds very good on it too. I see a lot of hate for it though so I guess I'm the only one.

 

I agree that the chorus is the best thing about Black Widow, should've just made it a solo single tbh. I like Rita a lot too which is another thing I see a lotta hate for :(

Cool, we are on the same page with Bounce, Iggy's best for sure!

 

Try sounded so, so great at first and then suddenly I couldn't get into it anymore :(

36. Sinead O’Connor – Take Me To Church [28-29-26-16-15-16-23-31-38-xx] 9 Weeks

37. Matt Cardle – Hit My Heart [13-27-38-xx-12-8-10-11-16-4-4-6-12-21-30-36-39-xx] 16 Weeks

38. Kylie Minogue – Sexy Love [24-20-14-3-5-5-7-8-9-11-17-19-20-24-30-34-xx] 16 Weeks

39. Ella Henderson - Glow [7-5-7-8-10-12-17-22-] *Still Charting*

40. Katy Perry – Dark Horse [20-23-30-36-33-40-xx-33-19-8-6-12-14-17-20-25-30-35-39-xx] 18 Weeks

 

Katy Perry's best single from Prism was clearly Roar, but Dark Horse comes in a close second, a sound she really should experiment more with IMO, cause it's awesome.

I have no memory at all of Ella from when she was on X-factor, Ghost is one of the most overrated songs of the year. so the odds were against here. Glow however, is

a masteriece, easily better than Ghost and most of her albu. Kylie again with the Aus only single Sexy Love. At first it was plainly average but in time, it gre on me. Not

the best of the album, but better than some of the duds on it. Matty bae only released one new single this year, a remixed version of Hit My Heart, one of my faves from

Porcelain, sadly, no new album this year, booooo. Sinead O'Connor, when not arguing with Miley Cyrus, found time to release a new album, I haven't heard it, but lead

single Take Me To Church is amazing.

Glow supposedly better than Ghost and most of the album hahahaha hahahaha.

Silence, slag!

dark horse! one of the best things she's ever done. that trap beat was unexpected from her but still incorporated well. i like juicy j's verse too

31. Dean Ray – Coming Back [12-9-7-9-15-] *Still Charting*

32. Amelia Lily – California [10-10-12-13-18-23-25-29-32-21-15-12-15-18-22-25-31-40-xx] 18 Weeks

33. Ricky Martin – Adrenalina [5-7-15-18-20-22-28-31-28-25-26-27-31-37-38-xx] 15 Weeks

34. Ryan Adams – Gimme Something Good [39-25-22-25-24-25-26-27-29-29-31-34-] *Still Charting*

35. Carrie Underwood – Something In The Water [2-3-3-4-5-7-10-15-19-] *Still Charting*

 

One of the best Country stars around Carrie Underwood released her GH not too long ago and this was the lead single from it. Typically Carrie, it has some powerful vocals and also

features a nice bit of Amazing Grace, gorgeous song. Ryan Adams only really released one proper single from his latest album, luckily it was one fo the better songs from it. A great pop-rock number with a really awesome video, it slayed. Ricky Martin teamed up with Jenny Lo for his single Adrenalina and it really is a bop and a half. Jenny sings all her lines in Spanish, which I have missed. Spanish-Lo >>> English-Lo.

Amelia Lily's flop single California is easily her best one IMO, a great shame it flopped. The perfect summer single, although she can't really say "California" veyr well.

Runner up in Aussie X-factor, Dean Ray's debut single is typical OneRepublic fodder, a nice enough song, but I kinda grew bored of it, hence the fast decline in my chart.

"Easily her best one" not exactly difficult :kink: She's definitely the most diappointing XF contestant ever post-show given how much I loved her on the show. You Bring Me Joy is her only properly decent single :(

Completely agree about Dean though, he needed a tortured ballad for his single but this is like a One Republic album track. Not bad by any means, but it's not him at all. There was only something like 0.05% in it so tbh him having one of the only potential winners' singles in XF Aus history that was a bit of a mismatch might have been what cost him it sadly (but Marlisa and him were my 2nd and 3rd faves most of the way through and I slightly preferred Marlisa so oh well).
