#32 comes courtesy of Ed Sheeran. 'Photograph' for me was delightful backed with an accompanying video of montage pictures of him as a child growing up right through to now. It's a heartwarmer for me but unfortunetly the song didn't make my top 10 but with an impressive run of 16 weeks in my chart it earns the award for the highest placing song in my chart without reaching the top 10. This is Ed's last of two appearances in my chart this year compared to the 3 last year.

 

#31 is the returning single from Lawson. Not exactly their best song but it was a decent enough song to comeback with and they have done so well in my EOY charts having 5 songs reach the top 30, this one obviously just misses the cut. Sadly after going in at #11 officially it looks like the boys may have dipped into irrelevance already as we've heard nothing by them ever since this song!

 

P.S. I understand these two aren't exactly buzzjack favourites so my apologies :P

Ella Eyre makes her 2nd appearance of 3 with 'Together', the song got a huge boost in September following the release of Feline (which as mentioned in my favourite album of the year). She's extremely underrated, who can't not enjoy those husky, raw, sassy vocals? The sad thing is official charts wise she's only managed to get top 10 hits as part of features on other artists hits :(

 

29 comes from Swedish songwriter Tove Lo, she already featured on 'Heroes' further down the countdown but manages to sneak a higher position with one of her own efforts 'Talking Body' which for me is the only track to grab my attention :lol:

 

Marlon Roudette's excellent 'When The Beat Drops out' comes in after at 28 on the countdown!

Ella Eyre's final song in my countdown is infact an album track that really needed to be released imo but I guess it was too late after 'Good Times' flopped at 37 officially :( 'Even If' is a stunning, beautfiul ballad and she really ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a singer/musician. I haven't really said enough about how talented she is (LOON MODE IN CHECK) :wub: and I really REALLY hope this isn't the end of her already when she has so much potential :cry:

 

Demi Lovato is feeling 'Confident' next at 24. Demi is someone who's really grown on me the past few years ever since 'Skyscraper' (yes I know it's hated amongst lots of you x) came out. She really been on fire this year though scoring 3 top 50 in my EOY countdown. Good going right? CFTS is still on it's way!

 

Oh hey, Taylor's back again with 'Blank Space', this song for most of the first part of the year was top 5 in my EOY bu of course drifted apart towards the latter part of the year. It's still such a great pop song and Taylor's videos this year and last have been nothing short of amazing. Long may Taylor slay everyone!

last two before the top 20 then.....

#22 comes from Walk Off The Earth with 'Rule The World'. They are 5 piece from Canada. You might recognize them from doing tribute versions of big hits, Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' being a prime example... however I checked those out and they weren't very good or anything nor have their other tracks for that matter. This song however caught my eye earlier when I was searching for not well known songs to chart and this popped up and it hit me instantly. A catchy indie ska reggae alternative rock song that did ok in their home country reaching a peak of #22 which is so odd because here they are at #22 on my EOY countdown lol :o The song amassed three weeks at #1 in my chart back in April only to toppled by Meg Myers's 'Sorry' which is yet to come and is contending for 1 in my EOY Chart :P

 

Taylor really knows how to slay my countdown just like she loves to slay everyone's existence with her fab pop tracks, 'Style' comes in at #21. Another really good song off the superb 1989!

 

 

Ed Sheeran, Lawson, Ella Eyre, Tove Lo, Kygo, Little Mix, Demi and Taylor all really good songs :heart:

Delta's 'Wings' were certainly made to fly... all the up to #20 on my countdown :P I was pleasantly impressed by how catchy and synthy this song is. It's very experimental of Delta and I think it has definitely paid off. The song topped the charts in her home nation Australia in August but sadly hasn't made any impression in the British charts, not suprising in the slightest as her days of success over here are long gone. Still it would've been nice for this to have some impact!

 

Kelly's return single 'Heartbeat Song' spent two weeks atop of my chart back in January but didn't exactly hold up too well in comparison to her other songs chart run. To be honest it's just an ok but a bit average type song. It's a lovely hearing it on radio n all but I dunno I was expecting something killler from Kelly and she sorta just dissapointed me I guess. It did well enough to come top 20 in my EOY chart though but not a song I'd personally go back to a lot!

Last appearance for Sia now and it's the magnificent 'Elastic Heart'. This is Sia's only other official top 40 hit along with 'Chandelier' from recent times.

 

Jess Glynne wants us to 'Hold Her Hand' at #17. Well done to Jess for getting her highest position this year with this despite the #10 peak.

 

Madge fell at the Brits.... she's turning into OLDONNA :rofl: anyway joking aside, 'Living For Love' premiered around a year ago and still to do this day sounds wonderful. The song unfortunately stalled in Jan when it was a surefire number 1 in my chart until Kelly came back and stole the #1 from her!

Who will come out victorious? :thinking:

Jordan :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: it's.. it's 'IT'S the band who has that punchable lead singer ;) Walk The Moon. 'Shut Up and Dance' did surprisingly well in my chart considering I didn't really like it when it premiered but somehow someway it's addictiveness wormed me in :kink:

Oops, sorry I wasn't reading this over Christmas but yesss :w00t-old: Seeing it in your top 100 makes me happy ^_^ If I ever meet the band I'll punch his face for you :kink:

 

Yay for Sheppard, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Maggie Lindemann in your top 50 :wub: 'Outlines' is lovely too and I adore 'Lips Are Movin'!

 

Wasn't expecting Echosmith OR Maroon 5 in your top 15 but I'm very excited to see them so high :o

 

good to see Elasitc Heart and Hold My Hand in your top 20 :heart: Kygo is deffo the highlight of your 30-21 section too :D

Excelent start to the top 20 there :heart:

Maroon 5's floptastic 'This Summer' is next at #15 followed by the first of two Carly songs and both have outdone 'Call Me Maybe''s EOY Position of #21 in 2012. She proved this year officially that she's no longer a one hit wonder unlike another act from the same year *coughs Gotye cough*. This countdown is solely based on chart run and peaks etc so I think if it do any overall review of how I feel about all these songs this would possibly come a bit lower down however it's 3 week stint at the top spot ensures it gets a high position here.

 

Echosmith broke the one hit wonder surefire curse at least on my chart with 'Come Together' and no it's not a Beatles cover :P

 

Coming in at 12 is BBC Sounds of Music winners Years and Years with 'Shine', it's fair to say this connected with more instantly than 'King' did however the latter is still to come.

YES... this song took possibly the longest this year to actually get to this peak, that being #8 on it's 17th weeks and it goes to Meghan Trainor AND JOHN LEGEND. CHART SAVIOUR *.* http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/226/c/d/mother_3___negative_man_in_3d_by_8bitsandwich-d5b1csz.gif

 

'Like I'm Gonna Lose You' was released as the 4th single from Meghan's debut album Title, for me it was a departure from the same old doo-wop pop songs she's been churning out and for a ballad I really like this, that said this is probably a bit too high as again it's going off chart performance rather than my overall year feelings on it but it would still be high up as I think it's lovely. Even John's warbling doesn't put me off it either lmao!

 

All Four amazing especially Shine and I Really Like You :heart:

Into the top 10 and we find the last Years and Years song in the countdown. 'King' took a long time to click for me. When it came to it's release week I recall even saying it's overrated purely because it still hadn't hit me and everyone was hyping it up so highly but eventually it did click and now I love it. The chorus and the electronic feels are so earwormy and catchy that I find myself struggling to understand why I didn't enjoy it from the get go but then again most songs grow on me to love them in the end I guess!

 

By far the hottest video I've seen all year anything of Tinashes or Pia's Touch being the others) and it comes courtesy of Demi Lovato. 'Cool For The Summer' is so trashy and awful yet there's something really good about it that I love it overall. The song is about experimenting primarily!

Mark and Bruno find themselves sandwhiches between two ladies and two back to back BJSC winners from this year. Meg Myers' 'Sorry' is so raw, authentic and captivating not to forget brilliant. I kinda kick myself for not joining the contests a bit earlier but it was witnessing this song win the contest back in May that made me finally sign up for BJSC (p.s. would've taken it had Mikey not had it ;) )

 

'Uptown Funk' was already starting to blow up at the end of last year and it even made it to #1 on my chart as well as obviously topping it officially. The song maanged to reach 45 in my EOY chart last year but because of it's continued domination both in my chart and the official chart as well as everywhere it did phenomenally well to break into my top 10 of 2015 added to the fact it spent an incredible 23 weeks top 40!

 

Dance with saxphones seems to be very popular atm and when I heard this for the first time there was no doubt I'd not love it, she's a gorgeous girl as well. Sandra Lyng who hails all the way from Norway smashed into my charts around the Summer with this sublime tune 'Play My Drum' topping the chart for 3 weeks . She came close to having 2 songs in my top 100 but sadly 'Heels Off' whilst good kinda tailed off my chart pretty fast. It wasn't as good as this song is though so maybe that's why. The video is excellent too. Love the beach scenes in it etc!

Hi Rob

 

I wasn't so keen on King either to begin with so I'm with you on that one. His voice really grew on me over time though and made me like the song, all the synths are glorious too. I liked the delicacy of Shine/Eyes Shut more though so glad to see the former not far behind.

 

LIGLY is definitely one of the biggest growers this year, sounds a bit boring on first listen but it really gets into your head which is quite unusual for a ballad I suppose. Could've done without John Legend though.

 

IRLY was just so much fun, never expected for Carly to come back with something half as good as that but I was hooked on the chorus from first listen, loved it even more when the incredibly fun and Tom Hanks-y video came out *_* So glad it became a hit here! Shame about RAWM though.

In at 5th place is Queen Madge with 'Ghosttown', such a hauntful/ halloweeny sounding song/video and definitely one of my favourite Madonna tracks of recent years. The song took 15 weeks to get to #1 in March!
