May 29, 201510 yr We're already almost in the middle of 2015, but the top 5 haven't been revealed yet! :o
May 29, 201510 yr http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/Cover%20Sleeves/CleanBandit-RatherBe.png 5 1382 Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne - Rather Be (55-45-31-7-3-1-1-2-2-1-1-1-3-3-4-5-5-8-15-19-29-36-54-64-71-xx) [25 wks] #1 officially for 4 weeks and on the Multichart for 5 weeks, 'Rather Be' was perhaps the perfect pop song of 2014, and one of the most universally loved on Buzzjack, hence its place here in the top five! Since then Clean Bandit have released some equally magnificent songs, and some not-so-good 'Rather Be' soundalikes. And after a handful of chart appearances, Jess finally has an album of her own due for release in August. Can't say they'll ever match the success of this though :o
May 29, 201510 yr Rather Be :wub: Was hoping that'd be slightly higher here but what a tune. Prediction: 01 Ella Henderson - Ghost 02 Sia - Chandelier 03 Iggy Azalea (feat. Charli XCX) - Fancy 04 Ariana Grande (feat. Zedd) - Break Free
May 29, 201510 yr http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/Cover%20Sleeves/ArianaGrande-BreakFree.png 4 1514 Ariana Grande feat. Zedd - Break Free (64-13-9-11-12-10-11-3-3-3-4-7-7-11-13-12-13-14-17-22-25-26-30-26-35-61-...) [26+ wks] BLANDE :puke: Ariana ended 2013 a fairly big name but was still looking for that killer smash hit. She needed to look no further than the sax-y r&b pop gem "Problem", which propelled her to #1 in the UK, though ended stalling at #2 (for 5 weeks) on the Multi- not able to unseat Ella Henderson's "Ghost" It was then followed up with this forgettable flop single that peaked even lower on the Multichart, and only reached #16 in the UK :lol: Grande later redeemed herself with Love Me Harder, and the excellent One Last Time
May 29, 201510 yr One Last Time >>> Love Me Harder >>>>>>>>> Problem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Break Free
May 29, 201510 yr Problem felt like it was a lot bigger on Buzzjack than Break Free, but that's probably because it was much bigger in the charts. Both are great though.
May 30, 201510 yr Author http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/Cover%20Sleeves/IggyAzalea-Fancy.png 3 1518 Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX - Fancy (27-21-11-8-3-3-3-4-3-5-4-4-8-11-14-17-16-15-27-21-31-50-54-62-45-51-46-63-64-71-xx) [30 wks] At #3 we have the highest non-#1 of the countdown, coming from Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX. Fancy was the fourth single from Iggy's debut album The New Classic and her first top 5 hit in the UK. In the multichart, it made #3 for four non-consecutive weeks but had a huge amount of longevity, just like it did in the UK chart. Fancy also gave Iggy her breakthrough smash in the US, reaching #1 on the Hot 100. It's my personal #1 of 2014 so I'm delighted to see it this high up, hasn't gotten old for me at all :heart:
May 30, 201510 yr http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/Cover%20Sleeves/EllaHenderson-Ghost.png 2 1587 Ella Henderson - Ghost (21-10-8-7-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-4-5-13-18-22-25-28-40-46-51-61-63-59-53-51-46-68-58-xx) [31 wks] All bets were on Ella to have huge success with this debut single, and she did not disappoint with ‘Ghost’ becoming a 2-week #1 in the UK and a 7-week #1 on the Multichart! But then ‘Glow’ was slightly less of a hit, then ‘Yours’ was less of a hit than ‘Glow’, and ‘Mirror Man’ was even less of a hit. She has NOT been dropped by her label, contrary to popular belief, but seeing as she hasn’t reached #1 on this countdown, it’s safe to say Ella Henderson’s days are numbered. And that, my friends, is why she keeps going to the river to pray :magic: Seven is up next to reveal our #1! :o
May 30, 201510 yr http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a556/jennacolemanfan/Chandelier_zps2376d614.png 1 1879 Sia - Chandelier (63-18-13-12-10-14-10-12-14-14-9-11-7-5-3-3-3-2-1-1-2-2-11-13-20-21-31-38-37-52-49-60-68-xx) [33 wks] After gaining some mainstream attention through Titanium/Wild Ones, it was a matter of waiting to see if she could eventually score another big hit of her very own. Then 'Chandelier' arrived, hitting #6 in the UK and spending over 40 weeks in the Top 40 :o Its run on the Multichart wasn't much shorter, and it even hit the #1 spot for two weeks. And as you can now see, it has claimed the Multichart's YEAR-END #1, by a fair distance over Ella Henderson. 'Chandelier' is perhaps one of the most powerful pop tracks in recent memory, in my opinion a well deserved choice for #1 here. Congrats Sia! :D
May 30, 201510 yr Author Thanks to Seven and Jordan for helping me finish this off (finally!!!), and to Rob and Jack for their earlier sections too :heehee: Not a surprising winner, very deserved too!

May 31, 201510 yr yay Chandelier! stunning pop song, although it has spent way too long in the UK top 40. Ghost is great too, I never made the connection that the song is actually about her relationship with her record label though :o
