Hype *.*

 

91. Rihanna - American Oxygen

92. Timoteij - Wildfire

93. Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song

94. Jess Glynne - Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

95. Eric Saade - Girl From Sweden

96. Dolly Style - Upsy Daisy

97. Mariette - My Revolution

98. Linus Svenning - Forever Starts Today

99. Alcazar - Young Guns (Go For It)

100. Margaret Berger & F.A.C.E. - Diamonds

 

Kicking off this year's countdown is Norwegians Margaret Berger and F.A.C.E. with the scandi-tastic 'Diamonds'. Alcazar returned with a second best of this year and their cover of Wham's 'Young Guns' and kept the discotits level firmly set to *.* Of course many Melodifestivalen 2015 tracks will be featuring, including Linus Svenning with his One Direction-esque 'Forever Starts Today'. Mariette and the official Stockholm Pride anthem for 2015 appears at #97, whilst Sugababes wannabes Dolly Style (who are on their 3rd line-up in less than a year) are at #96 with 'Upsy Daisy'.

 

Former Buzzjack gay fave Eric Saade made his grand return to Melodifestivalen this year and the follow-up single 'Girl From Sweden' scraps the bottom end of the countdown. Cheryl weave snatcher and all round horrible woman Jess Glynne has her only appearance with 'Don't Be So Hard On Yourself'. Kelly Clarkson and her unfortunate flop 'Heartbeat Song' is at #93. Timoteij returned this year, albeit one member down and now singing in English, 'Wildfire' is at #92. And finally in this section is Rihanna. Remember when she was a recording artist? Neither do I, but her first of 3 appearances from her singles this year is still good enough for the EOY Top 100.

 

Heartbeat Song is fantastic and I adore it :heart:

American Oxygen is so poor though :(

Hi Adam

 

I do like American Oxygen still but what a mess compared to the bangers we know she can make, it was just way too long and weird patriotic lyrics and it was just not that banger that I wanted, she sounds good on it but I don't think such minimal production suits her very much.

 

Love DBSHOY, she really has one hell of a voice and she pulls off uptempos really well, can't discredit her voice on songs like Take Me Home either though. A real talent!

 

Great stuff so far!

81. The Vamps - Wake Up

82. Maaraya - Here For You

83. Lena - Traffic Lights

84. Sarah Harding - Threads

85. Bojana Stamenov - Beauty Never Lies

86. Daniel Levi - Burning Lights

87. Babou - Manjana

88. Darin - Ta mig tillbaka

89. Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk

90. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Hey Everybody!

 

Hey Everybody! 5 Seconds Of Summer have their first of 2 entries on the countdown, I should really get around to listening to their album. Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' classic cover of the Fleur East smash single 'Uptown Funk' seems very low but overplay and boredom has killed it off slightly for me. Silas' favourite scandi-twink Darin returned this year with his first Swedish language album. Eurovision rejects appear at #87 and #86. Babou with 'Manjana' for Denmark who got it incredibly wrong with their selection, whilst 'Burning Lights' by Daniel Levi was the worthy runner-up to winners Elina & Stig who are still to come.

 

Someone who actually made Vienna, was Bojana Stamenov from Serbia, with the Valentina Monetta inspired 'Beauty Never Lies'. At #84 is a song which certainly divided opinion here on Buzzjack back in the summer. Many of us were eagerly anticipating Sarah Harding's debut single and when it arrived the response was clearly more negative than positive. 'Threads' is by no means an anthem of life, but I think it captures Sarah's personality and style perfectly. Eurovision 2010 winner Lena has her solo appearance at #83 with 'Traffic Lights' (another album I still need to hear!). Maaraya represented Slovenia in Eurovision this year and made the final with 'Here For You', a song tipped to do quite well before the contest but then flopped (hi Molly). And finally in this section is The Vamps who returned for their 2nd album after their first's campaign seemed to take 5 years.

 

 

Vamps :heart:

 

71. Tove Lo - Talking Body

72. Years & Years - Shine

73. A*Base - All That She Wants

74. Danny Saucedo - Dör för dig

75. Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You

76. Mariette - Don't Stop Believing

77. Elhaida Dani - I'm Alive

78. Elize Ryd & Rickard Söderberg - One By One

79. Calvin Harris ft. Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love

80. Molly Pettersson Hammar - Something Right

 

Melodifestivalen and Ultraviolenceland star Molly Pettersson Hammar has her first of 2 appearances with the BJSC hit 'Something Right'. The Ina Wroldsen hit from the summer, 'How Deep Is Your Love' is at #79, bizarrely credited under Calvin Harris and Disciples. Another MF act now and this time it's Elize Ryd from Amarenthe and opera diva Rickard Söderberg (or Ell & Rikki to those of us in the Eurovision forum) with an unlikey collaboration. Sadly, 'One By One' didn't make it out of its deltävling in Göteborg. Hopping over to Eurovision for #77, Albania's entry 'I'm Alive' by Elhaida Dani. 'Don't Stop Believing' is the final appearance this year for Mariette. Her debut Melodifestivalen entry made it direkt till finalen and finished in a respectable 3rd place.

 

Carly Rae Jepsen's big comeback single 'I Really Like You' makes the top 75. Sweden's perennial runner-up Danny Saucedo returned with his first Swedish language album this year, including the single 'Dör för dig'. A*Base are a Swedish Ace Of Base tribute act (sort of, think A*Teens from the 00s) and 'All That She Wants' is at #73. Some will probably cry that this is far too LOW!!1, but 'Shine' by Years & Years makes #72. I do love it, but not as much as their other 2 singles and it doesn't help that it was sort of overshadowed by 'Black Magic' at the time of its release. And finally for this section is Swedish star Tove Lo with her incredible slice of scandipop 'Talking Body'.

 

Hi Adam

 

Love IRLY, quite a low finish here which is a shame, just love how catchy it is and the fact Tom Hanks is in the video :o

 

I'm Alive was in my top 2 ESC entries this year, love how it builds towards the end and she gets well into it. Shame it didn't do better really..

*playing catch-up*

 

Hey Everybody! is very weak by 5SOS' standards for me :( Such a shame. So many better songs on the album! We should do an album sosh at some point :o

 

YAY for Wake Up, another album you need to hear, so good :wub:

 

Talking Body, Shine and I Really Like You are excellent too *.*

Hi Adam, nice list so far! Quite a few hidden gems in there.

 

Don't Be So Hard On Yourself, Talking Body, How Deep Is Your Love & Something Right my faves so far :)

Talking Body and I Really Like You are two of the best of the year and fantastic to see Something Right top 80, such an incredible song :heart:

Talking Body. Carly Rae Jepsen, Years & Years and Calvin Harris all superb :wub:

 

61. Maria Elena Kyriakou - One Last Breath

62. Freja - Young Heart

63. Erik Rapp - Available

64. Rita Ora - Poison

65. Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique - Set Me Free

66. Elina Born & Stig Rästa - Goodbye To Yesterday

67. LIZ - When I Rule The World

68. Demi Lovato - Cool For The Summer

69. Tooji - Father

70. World Of Girls - Summer Without You

 

At #70 is another choice Denmark could have made for Eurovision this year, it's the G.R.L.esque 'Summer Without You' by World Of Girls. Sadly after they lost there hasn't been a peep from them :( Tooji shocked us all this year by coming out as homosexual in a rather racy video, maybe it's position in the countdown was influenced by it :kink: 'Cool For The Summer' by Demi Lovato suffered from the held back released here in the UK, with myself being sort of over the song by the time it was eventually released. I wasn't sure if 'When I Rule The World' by LIZ was the most annoying song of the year, but it is infectiously catchy and undeniable. Another trip to ESC now, as the Estonian entry 'Goodbye To Yesterday' by Elina Born & Louis Tomlinson Stig Rästa is at #66. The song ended up finishing 7th in the grand final, a little underwhelming for a song that was tipped to win for a majority of the national final season.

 

'Set Me Free' by the fabulous Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique is the perfect example of scandipop in the modern age. You all moan and complain about the Rihanna album taking so long, but it's not as long as the time we've waited for the Rita Ora album! 'Poison' is not one of my Rita faves, but it still manages #64. Previous Swedish Idol contestant Erik Rapp released the amazing 'Available' after his Idol single 'Wild' this year. Another scandipop song which I entered to BJSC this year is 'Young Heart' by Freja, which I thought would do a little better than it did, but at least it made the final. #61 sees another ESC 2015 entry, this time it's Greece's Maria Elena Kyriakou with the ballad which has just grown and grown on me since the national final, 'One Last Breath'.

 

hi Adam

 

Big fan of Poison, the first time she hit me as a proper popstar with the risky video and the fact she looked so comfortable and professional - just want more new solo stuff from her now, not Coming Home!

 

:o

When I Rule The World, very enjoyable track. Love that kind of high pitched dance stuff.

 

Poison was very good too, wasn't sure she'd be able to bring out the goods this year but definitely did with this & Coming Home.

Robyn, Elina and Demi all great tunes :heart:
