January 24, 201510 yr Author 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. ^_^ you should check some of these out. i will send you some in good time. the world must have fabulous music. 'sledgehammer' really is a bop, i should have placed it higher i am feeling ;_; 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. thank you for such thoughtful words, really appreciate it iz. yes 'trapped' was a great embodiment i feel. i hope to find something with that air to it this year, they don't come along very often. the whole subs album is wonderful and deserves more attention. make sure you check out the eternal death album upon release too :o 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. ^ :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! thank you for the kind words. 'shower' is a really special pop song, effortlessly captures that spirit of carefree youth and summer days. i can overlook the clunky lyrics because it gives me a warm feeling all over. a shame her follow up is cack ;( I totally forgot about 'Bouquet Final'! I love it. Great to see 'Take Shelter' so high! <3 http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2014/09/spicecondom.jpg never change. born brave.
