112 Rixton - Me And My Broken Heart (#18 peak)

111 Anastacia - Stupid Little Things (#14 peak)

 

In this section, we lose one of my BJSC entries in Used To Be My Friend, because I'm a flop at supporting my own entries. it really should have been a Uk hit though, with all the dance crap that's been huge this year it's a shame this did nothing at all! There are two more dance hit in this section though, both from deep house act Gorgon City. Reigan Derry from X Factor Australia crops up yet again too with her Decade Challenge week performance of Sia's hit Chandelier (which is still to come itself), and we lose a UK #1 from Rixton with the catchy as anything Me & My Broken Heart as well as the last ARTPOP single from Lady Gaga.

Stupid Little Things is Anastacia's best single in 9 years.

That's not exactly difficult :smoke: but yes it is.

110 Iggy Azalea ft. MØ - Beg For It (#19 peak)

109 Fifth Harmony - Sledgehammer (#4 peak)

108 Carl Espen - Silent Storm (#6 peak)

107 Kyla La Grange - Cut Your Teeth (Kygo Remix) (#22 peak)

106 Ade Wilder - Riot (#18 peak)

105 Medina - Jalousi (#11 peak)

104 Lights - Up We Go (#3 peak)

103 Katy Perry - This Is How We Do (#9 peak)

102 Mia Martina ft. Dev - Danse (#28 peak)

101 will.i.am. ft. Miley Cyrus - Feelin' Myself (#18 peak)

 

Kicking off the next 10 is Iffy Azuzu with the first of three entries, her recent flop single with Danish singer MØ which led her pointless re-release. We also lose another foreign language song, Jalousi by Medina, which is performed in the Danish language. Well actually, 2 and a bit foreign songs because (as the title suggests), my BJSC top 20 SMASH Danse features some French. Additionally, there's a stunning Eurovision ballad from Carl Espen, a fun pop track from Katy Perry and the hot mess that is Feelin' Myself, among other tracks.

Goodness Gracious was another great single from Ellie, really glad she delivered with the second album and I'm very excited for the third. Hope it comes in the first quarter or two in 2015, I'd like her to stick around as a popstar for a while too, she seems to have indie and pop fans so I hope that's a good thing.

 

Used To Be My Friend should've done so much better in BJSC, I know I didn't give it loads of points in the contest (mainly because I didn't repeat play it much due to that scary ass video) but it remains one of my favourite BJSC songs since I joined so thanks for that!

FKA Twigs's album is a gem, I just wish it performed better in the official album chart, it just died of death. Little Red is just perfection :wub: I was playing the album earlier.

 

Ella's album is a bit like marmite, I think Ghost and Glow are the stand out tracks on the album, mind you I only bought the album for 99p from googleplay, in a way its a bargain for a poor album :D

107 Kyla La Grange - Cut Your Teeth (Kygo Remix) (#22 peak)

 

Oh bugger... I missed the track from my YTD chart :( , it stuck around in my personal chart for quite some time, mind you I prefer the original version.

 

I really like ready for your life, beg for it, sledgehammer :wub:

 

But feelin myself :puke2:

I hope she has a big 2015, I can this being another really successful era for her!

 

I thought it would with the deep house/various dance sub genres trend :drama:

It didn't reallt have any promo but I think it did well for selling off hype/Mercury Prize.

Ella's album is amaze -_- Unlike Marmite.

I like the original but Kygo really brings it alive <3

100 Caitlyn Shadbolt - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (X Factor Performance) (#9 peak)

99 Nina Nesbitt - Selfies (#11 peak)

98 Emmelie De Forrest - Rainmaker (#11 peak)

97 Tinashe ft. A$AP Rocky - Pretend (#18 peak)

96 Vic Mensa - Down On My Luck (#20 peak)

95 Seinabo Sey - Younger (Kygo Remix) (#26 peak)

93 Ricki-Lee - Happy Ever After (#9 peak)

92 Nicki Minaj - Anaconda (#3 peak)

91 Reigan - Unconditionally (X Factor Performance) (#2 peak)

 

Opening the top 100 is yet another X Factor Australia perfomance, this time from Caitlyn Shadbolt with her first and only entry. Although she left the competition that week, her performance of the Carole King classic was stunning! Fellow alumni Reigan Derry is at the opposite end of this set with her week 1 perfomance of Katy Perry's 2013 hit, which the highest perfomance of hers that wasn't recorded in full studio form for her debut EP All Of The Pieces! Also here are a couple of under the radar tracks from Tanika (who sounds unnervingly like Emeli Sandé I'm places on the track although it's nothing like Emeli's output!) and Seinabo Sey as well as a UK hit from Nicki Minaj, floppy Aussie pop from Ricki-Lee, the Eurovision 2024 anthem from 2013's winner Emmelie De Forrest and criminal flops from Nina Nesbitt and Vic Mensa, both of which just scraped the UK top 40.

I really like Tinashe ft. A$AP Rocky - Pretend, it by far not my favourite Tinashe though.

Selfies is really good and anaconda is such a guilty pleasure :lol:

106 Ade Wilder - Riot (#18 peak)

 

I know she's 31 but that's not old enough to have a name like Ade! :kink:

 

Love quite a bit of your chart so far Liam! Interested to see what the top end will look like.

I agree there, but it's because the album is so epic :wub:

I remember hating it at first but I had to give in :kink:

A bit more Eurovision :smoke:

90 Hilary Duff - All About You (#7 peak)

89 Indiana - Solo Dancing (#17 peak)

88 Melanie Amaro - Fuel My Fire (#10 peak)

87 Cheryl - I Don't Care (#4 peak)

86 Lykke Li - No Rest For The Wicked (#2 peak)

85 Donatan & Cleo - Slavic Girls (My Słowanie) (#15 peak)

84 Christina Grimmie - Must Be Love (#5 peak)

83 Fifth Harmony - BO$$ (#8 peak)

82 Ariana Grande ft. The Weeknd - Love Me Harder (#13 peak)

81 Beyoncé - Partition (#5 peak)

 

This section is welcomed in by Hilary Duff, with one of her first songs in years. All About You is a wonderful breezy pop song; it would easily be a hit sang by even Avril Lavigne (ew)! We also lose another Eurovision song, this time the trashy as anything Polish entry from Donatan & Cleo. Also here is a UK #1 from Cheryl, a sassy empowerment anthem from Fifth Harmony, the first of four Ariana entries, another Beyoncé track, one of my BJSC entries this year from Christina Grimmie, my former BJSC entrant Indiana with her second best song Solo Dancing (which was entered by my fellow pop mod Ryan into BJSC even though Bound, her other song I entered, is better) and a great mid-tempo R&B track from Melanie Amaro.

80 Ella Henderson - Yours (#3 peak)

79 Beyoncé - Pretty Hurts (#5 peak)

78 Selena Gomez - Heart Wants What It Wants (#8 peak)

77 The Saturdays - Not Giving Up (#2 peak in 2013, #10 peak in 2014)

76 Lauren Platt - What A Feeling (X Factor Performance) (#3 peak)

75 Molly - Children Of The Universe (#3 peak)

74 Leah McFall ft. will.i.am. - Home (#4 peak)

73 Jessica Mauboy - Sea Of Flags (#3 peak)

72 Mei Finegold - same Heart (#6 peak)

71 Marlisa - Nothing Else Matters(#3 peak)

 

Another section, another X Factor Australia performance! Rock week's Nothing Else Matters was the standout performance from winner Marlisa, and was also included on her debut album which consisted of studio covers of her performances and a winning single (still to come). The Uk version is also represented by Lauren Platt, with her highest performance on this countdown, a piano version of the 80s classic which is the second highest X Factor UK performance here (no prizes for guessing the top one :P). There are also two Eurovision entries present, our own 17th placer Molly (not even the highest person in this countdown called Molly, flop) and Israel's criminal non-qualifier from Mei Finegold. A criminal flop from series 2 of The Voice UK's rightful winner Leah McFall, the first of two entires for The Saturdays and one of Selena Gomez's weakest but best received singles also compose this section.

Selena, The Sats, Lauren, Molly and Mei http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/67d90ee8.gif

 

(That Jessica song remains an utter embarassment tho)

It's sad but Not Giving Up is the best of the bunch -_-

Samantha Jade failing to get a hit again remains an uber embarrassment x

It's a jam.
