January 4, 201510 yr Borderline is so good, I can't get over people that can't accept Tove's change of style when she's still producing pop that's 99% better than anyone else is. The album is shaping up to be incredible judging by the gig I saw. Ego is my most aniticpated leak since Jasmine Baird's The Truth. (Did that ever actually leak Qassändra?)

January 4, 201510 yr Author HELP ME I'M HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE 01 Sia ‘Chandelier’ i remember the first time i heard 'chandelier', it was a 15 second clip posted on popjustice and i could tell from there that there was going to be no greater pop song in 2014 than it. it is a total 10/10 phenomenal moment, the entire song is built around that chorus and WHAT a chorus, was there a bigger chorus in 2014? and you can tell what a fabulous song it is by its slow burning trajectory. sia even with all her writing credits started the year as an outsider but she has managed to perfectly attach itself to a level of social media ubiquity. the live performances were left of centre and fabulous. and most of all this is a song i can totally relate to, it feels totally definitive to me and where i am at 24 and a half years of age. this will go down as one of my favourite songs of all time no doubt. thank you sia. 8DS-h67qEiY

January 5, 201510 yr My basic commercial faves: 01 Sia ‘Chandelier’ 03 Becky G ‘Shower’ Just listened to this for the first time, and my first impression is that it's a bit nondescript? (sorry, what a RUDE thing to say about your third favourite!) 21 Katy B ‘Crying for No Reason’ 27 Ariana Grande & The Weeknd ‘Love Me Harder’ 30 Taylor Swift ‘Out of the Woods’ 32 Ella Henderson ‘Ghost’ 33 Neon Jungle ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ 36 Fifth Harmony ‘Sledgehammer’ They're the only ones I know from your Top 50. :kink: Great to see 'Crying For No Reason' rather high up, and two great girl group singles too. ^_^
January 5, 201510 yr I would like to say what I know many other people have said already, that I have been reading this all the way through and it has been a joy to read the critique (very persuasive critique as well) you bring to the musical tracks you like, and filled with very good credible music of what I know. Basically, 2 things: you have a very good top 2, I never gave 'Head' the appreciation it deserved when I was first exposed to it but it has been growing throughout the year and I really rather like it now, and 'Chandelier' is of course excellent. Secondly, lovely to see 'Trapped' as the highest Farc representation, I think the best BJSC entries are often when some of the poster's personality shows through in the song and the vibe I got from 'Trapped' was exactly that with you. Having not known the original prior helped with that but it was a great discovery and it's great to see it in the top 10 here.
January 5, 201510 yr Jake - I like a lot of these songs. Only problem being that I only know about a quarter of them, but YAY for Take Shelter being so high. I so badly want them to win the Sound Of 2015. And Chandelier is a great song of course, I loved it at the time but overplay seems to have kind of ruined the magic between it and me.
January 5, 201510 yr ^ :hi: Griff! Great countdown, Jake! Very pleased to see 'Take Shelter' in the top 10 - a definite standout of the year for me as well. Have been surprised it's been relatively low on other people's countdowns. I was only recently introduced to 'Shower' and having not seen the fuss initially, really love it now. Outstanding chorus, particularly the last one right after the middle 8 :heart:. I still think the verses let the song down a bit (looking at you, 'Baby you make me hot like an oven' and 'I'll take a chance on we' :puke2:) but I guess she's pretty young so I'll let her off.<_< Also, I have to add to the praise of your critiques at the start. Very accurate and entertaining - really enjoyed reading them!
January 5, 201510 yr I totally forgot about 'Bouquet Final'! I love it. Great to see 'Take Shelter' so high!
January 10, 201510 yr Anyone who is anyone blatantly would've rated Chandelier as the best song of last year. U R definitely a someone Jake. Saluti e baci my little pumpkin seed (ready to be placed in a pot of seed compost waiting to flourish into a big juicy orange pumpkin) xx

January 10, 201510 yr Believe it or not I OBVIOUSLY AM. Thanks for the username tribute though. I trust you got a selfie stick for Christmas?
