#92
Gilligan Moss
"Choreograph"






#91
Redlight
"9TS (90s Baby)"





Stepdad's irresistible 'Running' sneaks in at #95, while Becky Hill lends Oliver Heldens' "Gecko" a little extra spark in the track's vocal edit, and hitting us with a rather wacked-out video for good measure. more great house tracks abound with Route 94's infectious remix of MK's "Always". Fljótavík's best BJSC entry of the year came from chigaco producer Gilligan Moss, "Choreograph" is like a huge salad bowl of vocal loops and twinkly sound effects. finishing off this batch is one of Redlight's best offerings in a while, the quirky and immensely fun 9TS. YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE.

2 On 2 Low :angry:

 

Starting it all off with Bipolar Sunshine~ can only mean this will continue to be GOOD.

So much good stuff so far, from your just outside list these are all great:

 

Shamir "If It Wasn't True"

Mr. Probz "Waves (Robin Schulz Remix)"

Say Lou Lou "Everything We Touch"

Ella Henderson "Ghost"

The 1975 "Medicine"

Wankelmut & Emma Louise "My Head Is a Jungle (MK Remix)"

iamamiwhoami "Hunting for Pearls"

Twin Atlantic "Heart And Soul"

Felix Jaehn "Shine"

FKA twigs "Pendulum"

Susanne Sundfor "Fade Away"

Fink "Looking Too Closely"

A Sunny Day in Glasgow "In Love With Useless"

 

Good to see Bipolar Sunshine, Stepdad, Metronomy and Holly Herndon appear so far. None have made my top 100 but I charted them all.

Excellent taste, as usual! The only stuff so far that I don't absolutely ADORE are the track I don't even know!

 

Fab countdown so far! Hopefully with my countdown starting I'll be able to keep an even closer eye on this one ~

 

(exclamation point overload but I'm kinda sick so that's my excuse for not being able to use varying symbols)

I'm glad there was another chart that Un Nouveau Soleil was even close to appearing in! Choreograph was my 12 pointer from that contest I think, was just so wonderfully different and took me by surprise at the time.

 

I'm sure I'll love most of this, so shall be keeping an eye on this~

I really like gecko, Becky's vocals are great :wub:

Perfume
"Cling Cling"





School of Seven Bells are at #90 with the very dreamy "I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)", and the owner of last year's #1 spot, Soap&Skin enters at #89 with her Robert Johnson cover "Me And the Devil" off 2013's Sugarbread EP. Banks is at #88 with "Brain", followed by "The Key" at #87 - Breach's remix of the Kelis track "Rumble", except renamed and re-edited into a full-throttle house track for an official release. J-pop outfit Perfume are #86 with the incredibly poppy and danceable "Cling Cling" (sneaking in here despite only knowing it for a month!)

#82
Danny L Harle
"In My Dreams"






#81
How To Dress Well
"Repeat Pleasure"





one of the highlights from Trouble in Paradise, the bright and catchy synth-pop of Kiss And Not Tell is #85. Two very GRANDIOSE entries after that- Owen Pallett's "The Riverbed" being one, and the other from French pop artist Indila, "Derniére Danse" turned out as one of biggest hits in BJSC this year. at #82, the first of two appearances for Danny L Harle, the distant and airy "In My Dreams", and How To Dress Well's "Repeat Pleasure" is #81, his second appearance on my year-end charts ("And It Was U" was among my top 50 of 2012)

#76
Jamie xx
"All Under One Roof Raving"





at #80, Majestic & Jungle 70's "Creeping In the Dark" gets a synth-heavy 90s rave influenced remix from Armand Van Helden, with Spoon's "Inside Out" at #79, and at #78 Drake throws a verse onto I Love Makonnen's "Club Goin' Up on a Tuesday" (this version simply shortened to "Tuesday"), giving the track some major exposure. Bright Light Bright Light is #77 with "I Believe", and next is Jamie xx with "All Under One Roof Raving" (apparently an 'homage to the UK rave scene'), meshing steel drums, bass and spoken-word samples

Indila and makonnen !!!

 

<3

Kiss and not tell is great, La Roux deserved to be big again this era :(

Tuesday is fantastic, incredibly catchy too. Wish they went ahead with the UK push..

Owen, Sviib, HTDW, Jamie xx :wub:

#73
SBTRKT
"New Dorp. New York." (ft. Ezra Koenig)






#72
Anamanaguchi
"Prom Night" (ft. Bianca Raquel)






#71
Usher
"Good Kisser"





at #75, Robin Schulz puts a house spin on the folk-pop track "Prayer In C" from Lilly Wood & The Prick, which soon became a huge international chart hit. Another big track that crossed over to the UK this year, cryptic house producer ZHU is at #74 with "Faded". SBTRKT teamed with Ezra Koenig for "New Dorp. New York.", making a unique first impression with its deep bass and clanging, skittering percussion. at #72 comes the first of my BJSC entries on this list, Anamanaguchi's "Prom Night", where they apply their chiptune sound to what would otherwise seem like a rather typical, vapid pop track, and turning it into something both quite cheesy and and highly enjoyable. at #71, Usher made his return with the seductive, minimal R&B effort "Good Kisser", a fairly underrated single in my opinion ;o DA-DA-DA-DUN-DUN~

Just catching up, from that last section the sublime 'Faded' blows everything out of the water, so mysteriously sultry. <3

"Giant In My Heart"

"Collider"






#68
Ariana Grande
"Problem" (ft. Iggy Azalea)






#67
The Common Linnets
"Calm After The Storm"






#66
Danny L Harle
"Broken Flowers"





Kiesza's second single from this year came in the form of "Giant In My Heart", sticking to a similar formula to Hideaway but it's all executed very well nonetheless. Jon Hopkins' "Collider" from his highly-acclaimed album Immunity is at #69, followed by Ariana Grande's breakthrough hit "Problem", a fun R&B bop with an excellent sax riff. Unusually we have a Eurovision appearance in my year-end chart- The Common Linnets' "Calm After the Storm", much like Margaret Berger in '13, was just a huge cut above the rest of the competition this year. Danny L Harle's second appearance on the list is the instantly catchy "Broken Flowers" at #66

IT'S IGGY IGGS

 

Get that top 70 smash Ariana and Iggy *.*

#62
PANTEROS666
"Baby F-16"






#61
Evian Christ
"Salt Carousel"





In at #65 is the bright, bubbly (and hard to resist <3) late-summer treat "Classic" from The Knocks, with Eledan highlight "The Years (Prologue)" by The Midnight at #64. Tiga is next with "Bugatti", a quirky house anthem packed with an incredibly memorable spoken-word hook. Another steel-hard house track at #62, "Baby F-16" from PANTEROS666 (discovered through bjsc thanks to jakewild of course <333), then at #61 we have the hard-hitting trap BANGERRRR from Evian Christ, one of N DNTN's best entries this year; "Salt Carousel" *.*

:music: ~~ SICK ~~ :music:

The Years is brilliant, definitely one of my best BJSC discoveries this year. Wonderful to see Jon Hopkins in here too, the Lulu James collab to come?

"Desire"






#56
Kero Kero Bonito
"Sick Beat"






IT'S KKB LET'S GO~ but before we get to that, Kendrick Lamar's "i" lands at #60, just behind the silky smooth "Touch" from Shura at #59, and iamamiwhoami at #58 with "Blue Blue". Years & Years have gradually made themselves one of the hotly-tipped acts for 2015, the most recent of their output being the infectious "Desire" at #57. and at #56 is another of our BJSC entries, Kero Kero Bonito's "Sick Beat" is a hyperactive slice of bitpop, packed with video game references, and vocalist Sarah shifting randomly between the Japanese and English languages
