I wanna say "Cake By The Ocean" but that depends on how much it smashes in the US. It's literally just breaking through.

Where's last years thread so we can see how we did?

 

Déjà vu time again...? :D

:lol:

So most of those we predicted last year didn't come anywhere near smashing :lol: The sad thing is, the majority of those that we collectively predicted would be big weren't even pushed in the UK...radio are ignoring so many great songs with clear hit potential recently.

 

I mentioned Out Of The Woods by Taylor Swift...and it's only just being pushed as a single well over a year later!

It's a lot harder for any hit to break through now, more's the pity, and the few that do then hang around for ages as they become the only thing radio can play for the next whenever. This trend of having less total hits is pretty awful for the charts (and as such we need radio to die a swift death), I'd have been very happy for most of the songs in that thread to become hits over lots of what actually did.

 

We need a few of the songs in this thread to become hits and fast. All of them that I've heard sound like they'd fit in very well as a hit song.

Just heard and seen the video to 'Ain't Too Cool' by Lunchmoney Lewis - something tells me it could be HUGE this year, catchy and a stupid video (in a good way).

Bump! Here's some songs that could become big over the next few months...

 

Desiigner - Panda

 

 

Considering the rise this song has had in America, this could be the big US urban crossover hit over here this summer. Doesn't sound like a chart hit, but many would have thought the same about Trap Queen this time last year and this is proving very popular right now.

 

Bryson Tiller - Exchange

 

 

In all fairness, this has already been a hit - 70 million YouTube views and popular on Spotify. However, with a video incoming and Radio 1 support this could prove a surprise chart hit. I'm hoping so anyway, been one of my favourite songs for months. Gives me a 'Take Care' vibe.

 

Jay Sean feat. Sean Paul - Make My Love Go

 

 

Rising quickly on iTunes, early support from Capital and a music video in increasing rotation, I'd be very surprised if this didn't chart. The UK has a soft spot for Sean Paul and the 'Sorry'-esque beat should help this. Perfect for the warmer months.

 

Ty Dolla $ign feat. E-40 - Saved

 

 

Ty Dolla $ign is a man in demand right now and could exploit his success from his Fifth Harmony feature. This would seem the solid bet considering it's already in high rotation on KISS. Another DJ Mustard production, but one that seems slightly more upbeat to me and a chantable chorus. Worth keeping an eye on songs such as 'Wavy' and 'In My Room' too - I'd be shocked if he didn't have a top 40 single by this time next year!

 

WSTRN - Come Down

 

 

I know this is no 'In2', but early support from Capital should ensure this charts. Load of famous faces in the video and it does sound good in the sun!

 

Billon - Slave To The Vibe

 

 

A song just screaming out for some promotion! A highly infectious deep house song that's almost the love child of 'I Wanna Feel' and 'Alone No More', I can just tell this will sound good on the beaches of Malia this summer ;).

 

TroyBoi - And Wot?

 

 

Potential to be the club anthem of Summer 2016. Was surprised to see this added to the Capital playlist straight after release but I can't get this out of my head!

 

Major Lazer feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Kranium & WizKid - Boom

 

 

If rumour has it, this is the next Major Lazer single and it's not hard to see why. Still riding the crest of the 'Lean On' wave, this should do well.

 

Kevin Gates - 2 Phones

 

 

Blowing up in America, this could be the next viral rap hit. Huge sounding and could very well crossover here.

 

Blonde feat. Craig David - Nothing Like This

 

 

Of course this is already a chart hit. However, I think this has Top 5 written all over it!

 

Flo Rida feat. Jason Derulo - Hello Friday

 

 

Considering the previous chart success of the two artists and the sound of the song, this is almost a definite hit. Very catchy as you'd expect.

Ah yes, nice to check back on this :D i got 7 Years/I Took A Pill/Lush Life/Roses so not bad~

 

Some that have potential to do well in the coming months-

 

The Chainsmokers feat. Daya - Don't Let Me Down - a bit more basic and 'trashier' than Roses, so it makes sense the UK would prefer this one

 

Cheat Codes - Sex - another tropical house facelift of an older popular hit (though this isn't really a straight-up cover, so at least it's more inspired than the show me love/ain't nobody/fast car snoozefests we've had of late)

 

Nick Jonas feat. Tove Lo - Close - seems like this has had a great reception, sure to get strong airplay too

 

Frans - If I Were Sorry - the public love their light acoustic-y pop stuff at the moment, possibly another Swedish Eurovision song to challenge for the Top 10? (and based off Common Linnets a few years ago it may not even need to win the contest)

 

will.i.am feat. Pia Mia - Boys & Girls - it's a will.i.am single.

 

If they push it:

 

If they push it:

 

 

Also can see Hailee Steinfeld having a hit by the end of year but have no clue with what!

 

Also can see this taking off is he performs it on the voice :heart: :

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Dance Off (feat. Idris Elba & Anderson .Paak)

- as much as this annoys me it should do well, it sounds like chart material and has smashed in Australia

 

MAGIC! - Lay You Down Easy (feat. Sean Paul)

- I can't see this being too much of a hit, and I may be biased, but this sounds like it could sneak in the charts with a push, and I expect it will get some airplay as it is radio material. Think of it as a slightly worse but still quite good follow up to Rude.

 

Skrillex & Diplo - Mind (feat. Kai)

- this is great! And sounds like chart material - it's the kind of song Radio 1 and Capital (especially the latter) would kill, and with a bit of exposure I think this could be an absolute smash - maybe even Jack U's first number one after the resounding success of Where Are U Now?.

 

Walking On Cars - Speeding Cars

- not only is this a really good song, we're still due our annual male British guitar singer that gets a hit in the first half of the year (Hozier, George Ezra, Passenger, James Bay, it's basically a tradition :lol:), and I think Heart have already played this - it's around the bottom ends of the iTunes top 50 at the moment and I have a feeling Radio 1 may give it a chance sooner or later.

Another couple:

 

Kungs & Cookin' on 3 Burners - This Girl. Its currently #1 French iTunes but can definitely see this crossing over In Europe during the Summer.

 

Peg Parnevik - Ain't No Saint. Currently #1 on Swedish Spotify, may well just stay a local hit but it certainly has the potential crossover to become a big hit

Probably a very slim chance but I'll post it just in case...

 

 

Already a year old and was on BBC Introducing last year, but I've been hearing it on the radio like every day which is unusual for a British artist that hasn't broke through in the UK. Basically the song title along makes me think it'll be the next Pompeii or Budapest :kink: but really I'd just like to see it do something in the UK or the US, sounds like a potential surprise hit to me.

These two I think have potential...

 

 

 

 

Also if a vocal is added to this I think it could be the follow-up to Faded:

 

 

 

These are ones I really want to make a sudden surge...

 

 

 

 

 

Apologies if any of these have already been posted.

 

Vigiland - Pong Dance

 

This is just a hit waiting to happen - it's a short song with some comedic value and a generic drop, so people are bound to like it - and it's actually quite good. It would be a missed opportunity if radios didn't get behind this, a good track which has so much potential.

Kat DeLuna feat. Jeremih - What A Night

 

 

If people hated the sample on 2015 hit 'Somebody', they'll despise this! :lol: Another catchy RnBass production and an infectious hook from Jeremih, this has been floating around KISS recently. If it gets promotion, could well be a hit.

This is quite good Hammer, I also liked the original :D

 

I'm hoping too that Yall - Hundred Miles can be a minor hit in the UK, really love it! :wub:

 

Considering Seeb is currently #1 with Mike posner I can see this probably impacting the charts over here, it's dominating on Streaming currently!

with summer looming - thought I'd bump this...

 

WHAT WILL BE BIG THIS SUMMER?

 

I think...

 

CAZZETTE vs AronChupa - She Wants Me Dead (feat. The High)

 

 

Cash Cash - How To Love (feat. Sofia Reyes)

 

 

 

...could both be big, with some support.

potential minor hits

 

 

just heard Naughty Boy is having a new single this summer featuring Ellie Goulding, could be big if it's another Runnin'

also heard RedOne is releasing a single under his name featuring Enrique Iglesias

also Pitbull has a song out this summer with Leona Lewis :) not sure if it's rumorology though but she could be back in the charts... at least in the itunes top 100 :)
