Cher Lloyd - Bind Your Love The theme of this section is 'less well known songs from people you know released songs this year' such as Tove "Tuvalu" Lo, and other hot album tracks from my #7, #5 and #3 albums of the year. In euroland we have the song that came 2nd in the Estonian NF and a, erm...JESC song. RYAN MADE ME DO IT LEAVE ME ALONE! Also, i cant remember am not lesbon
December 15, 201410 yr Sorry I'm Late is a MASTERPIECE! So glad you included that on your Album countdown (strong contender for my No. 1 album of the year). Also YAY for Open Season! Amazing song.
December 15, 201410 yr Author 171. Sandra Nurmsalu - Kui Tuuled Pöörduvad 172. JEM - Love Trigger 173. Dami Im - Living Dangerously 174. Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One 175. VERITE - Weekend 176. Meadowlark - Family Tree 177. Ace Wilder - Riot 178. Bright Light Bright Light - I Believe 179. Alvaro Estrella - Bedroom 180. Jannika B - Itseni Herra Bookended by a pair of songs in Nordic languages, this section is dubbed the "niche appeal" section. Scandiphiles will enjoy two of this year's MF alumni and the Ace Wilder follow up single that not very many people payed attention to. Also, DavidRandyFurlong has TWO BJSC entries between 178 and 176, when will your faves!

Neon Jungle - Bad Man This is the first (of many more to come) "gay interest section" in this top 200 featuring double drag queen realness with songs just as trashy as teir titles suggest, Ariana Grande's ode to her gay ex-boyfriend (clue's in the Donna Summer sample), cheesy/tacky pop offerings from Neon Jungle, Eden XO and Ingrid Michaelson and another two failed Eurovision NF songs (it's not until you do a countdown like this that you realise just how many of these songs permeate my musical consciousness) both penned by Swedes, obviously.

Krishane ft Melissa Steel - Drunk & Incapable 157. Emmelie de Forest - Rainmaker 158. Bright Light Bright Light - In Your Care 159. Sabina Ddumba - Scarred For Life 160. Felix Cartal - Let It Go (feat. Lily Elise) This section is quite BJSC heavy featuring double Allecian (back when it was still called that), double Seyetana (at their random off-the-wall crazy best). Euroland sees the beartastic Carl Espen's ballad in at 152 and the generic 'way-oh-ay-oh-way-ah' cheesefest from flash in the pan Emmelie de Forest. Elsewhere, some flopstar with an indeterminate surname called Cheryl is in at 151. Into the top 150 now y'all, and the commentary is still only mildly terrible. I don't know about you but I'm RIVETED! Edited December 16, 201410 yr by LeXmas
December 16, 201410 yr Cheryl *.*! Yass Melissa Steel too, representing Bellamia in this EOY even if she never quite made it to BJSC ^_^
December 16, 201410 yr I know I go on about Nightwish loads but them and Nightcore are very different things :heehee: I'm just all about the night. Double crazy Séyetana is very welcome in here though, that's put you firmly in my good books Lex
December 16, 201410 yr Lex how are you? #JAMICO 2K15 BIO! 151. Cheryl - Crazy Stupid Love Cheryl not as good as she used to be sadly. 157. Emmelie de Forest - Rainmaker 163.

December 17, 201410 yr Author 131. Sam Smith - Leave Your Lover 132. Moxie Raia - Dirty Lights 133. DJ Cassidy/Robin Thicke/Jessie J - Calling All Hearts 134.

Rebekka Thornbech - Your Lies 140. Ellie Goulding - Beating Heart There's a lot of very good ballads in this section with the overhated (at least on here) Sam Smith's delectable album track, R SOPH's majestic bond-lite album opener and Malta's Eurovision (sorry Bal) Mumford & Sons pastiche. That said there's also Blonde's super fresh super smash and will.I.am's ode to masturbation also make appearances. Don't say my taste isn't varied!

Josef Johannson - Hela Natten Into the top 130 now and we're in pure "Very Good+" territory, featuring double Clean Bandit (we'll be hearing from them again), Anthem for debasing one's own culture My Slowanie/Slavic Girls, and obscure gay faves of La Roux (sorry Bal), Parralox and Josef Johannson. Urge to write commentary, falling!
December 20, 201410 yr Author 111. Mo - Heal 112. Little Mix - Salute 113. Ariana Grande - Love Me Harder (feat. The Weeknd) 114. Wankelmut & Emma Louise - My Head Is A Jungle 115.

Taylor Swift - Blank Space Two victims of the year split are in this section in 'Salute' and 'Blank Space', both from the opposite direction (with my main love for these tracks happening in 2013 and probably in 2015). Also we have the increasingly rare occurrence in 2014 of GOOD DANCE MUSIC from Icona Pop with that song you've already forgotten, Kiesza Wilhelm and the ammusingly named Wankelmut (think about it). P.S. React please
December 20, 201410 yr :hi: Oo yes at 'Circles' appearing! Still shocked at how well it did :o Nice to see Becky Hill as well here, hopefully she gets some solo success in 2015. Happy at MNEK too, he's another one I'm hoping to do well in 2015, don't know what happened this year :drama: Not very happy at that 'Calling All Hearts' MESS being here though. Indeed, I'd completely forgot about it!
December 22, 201410 yr Author 101. CL - Manboob 102. Ruth Lorenzo - Dancing In The Rain 103. The Vamps/Demi Lovato - Somebody To You 104. Ella Henderson - Glow 105. Linnea Dale - High Hopes 106.

Catarina Pereia - Mea Culpa Time for another section of what Lex does best, !obscure to semi well known Gay Faves". In this section we have cuts from the hot and sultry cultures of Portugal (Mea Culpa), Spain (Dancing In The Rain) and Barbados (Everyone's fave minor breakout success, Melissa Steel) as well as the frozen nordics of Sweden and Norway with a double scandi punch of Tove Lo and Linnea Dale. Also, not many gay fave heavy countdown could be complete without the foremost fanbase act of 2014, Kylie Minogue. Also attatched bellow is my 2014 obligatory Asian Pop jam, the unofficially named 'Manboob' ?v=crD7MFxswpw
December 28, 201410 yr Author Kicking off the top 100 y'all! 91. Ella Henderson - Pieces 92. Foxes - Let Go For Tonight 93. Sam Smith - Like I Can 94. Ed Sheeran - Sing 95. Alcazar - Blame It On The Disco 96. Ulla Nova - Kid From London 97. Lana Del Rey - Gods & Monsters 98. Amelia Lily - California 99. Madeline Juno - Error 100. Tinashe - All Hands On Deck Naturally, as we get into the top 100, two things are now happening. The quality of songs is increasing and is in direct inverse proportion to my motivation to write decent commentary but nevertheless I soldier on! Euroland throws up 2 polar opposites of NF rejects, Alcazar's Blame It On The Disco - the surprise smash hit from the OTT disco dinosaurs that would've bombed so hard it would have ripped Scandinavia apart and Madeline Juno's Error - an unexpected flop with an understated and demure ballad that could have actually not done too badly. Also here is the double hit of BuzzJack's two most hated successful British male solo artists in Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith (and y'all can STFU bout ma man Sam, he's mah bae). Oh and another Syndarian BJSC entry. Standard.
December 28, 201410 yr So much bloody good stuff here Lex, far too many to single out! A big YES to a Linda Pritchard appearance though :heart:

Tove Lo - Talking Body This section features three top rate colaborations of 2014, undeserved BJSC flop 'You And I', deserved BJSC hit 'Baba Yetu' and mainstream dance hit 'Wasted/Naked' (version depending). Other BJSC songs here include one of my ex potentials that went on to be a hit (annoyingly) and my surprise middling hit piece of celtic ethno balladry from Oonagh. Tove Lo also has not one but two tracks in this section - TOVE UP!
