December 19, 20159 yr Don't know if I can but don't know if I want to :music: Very much liking that Robyn song on first listen (but I was going to no matter what :D)
January 3, 20169 yr Author Thanks to all who've commented so far, I will return the favour in due course! vXZbH9Y2jZQ 51. Erika Selin - Break Me Up 52. Isa - Don't Stop 53. Molly Pettersson Hammar - I'll Be Fine 54. Lo-fi-fnk - Nightclub Nirvana 55. Little Mix - Love Me Like You 56. Christopher - Tulips 57. A*Base - Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry 58. Liza Fox - Dynamite 59. Milki - Accent 60. Isa - Drum & Bass The top 60 kicks off with Swedish pop girl Isa who has two appearances in this section, her 2015 Melodifestivalen track 'Don't Stop' is at #52 and the follow-up which I was going to send to BJSC but was auto-vetoed (ooops) 'Drum & Bass' is at #60. Both songs are your typical bubblegum pop songs. Failed Belarussian Eurovision act Milki with their slavic bop 'Accent' is at #59. A song that I did enter to BJSC was Liza Fox and her Russian 'Dynamite'. Similar to A*Teens who were a tribute to ABBA, 2015 saw the launch of A*Base, a tribute to Ace Of Base. Sadly, after the first single 'Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry' was released, one of the members left and was replaced. More on these later. At #56 is Danish pop chap Christopher who want to kiss your tulips. Little Mix have had a fantastic year and whilst #55 seems a little low for 'Love Me Like You', I never did quite love it as much as 'Black Magic' (still to come!). #54 sees my biggest BJSC hit of 2015, the brilliant 'Nightclub Nirvana' by Lo-fi-fnk. It's such a feelgood song and I'm glad it was so well received, particularly by people who usually recoil in horror at my entries! The final entry from Molly PH is at #53, with her unjust Melodifestivalen flop 'I'll Be Fine', going first whilst everyone downloaded the new voting app really screwed over what should've been a comfortable qualifier, her reaction to being out is my avatar. Whilst over in Ireland, Erika Selin who had been rejected in Sweden tried her luck there, drafting in Swedish band Timoteij on backing vocals to try to get to Eurovision with her song 'Break Me Up'. Sadly, Ireland went for a dull as dishwater entry instead, and stayed in the semis in Vienna.
January 8, 20169 yr Author -M1GNNbQN1g 41. Conchita - Firestorm 42. Aminata - Love Injected 43. Molly Sandén - Satellites 44. Magnus Carlsson - Möt mig i Gamla Stan 45. 5 Seconds Of Summer - She's Kinda Hot 46. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me 47. One Direction - Perfect 48. Nina Sublatti - Warrior 49. Loïc Nottet - Rhythm Inside 50. Midnight Boy - Don't Say No Into the top half of the countdown, and at #50 is Midnight Boy with his Melodifestivalen effort 'Don't Say No'. Straight out of the 80s, this could've been a Dead or Alive record, superb. 2 Eurovision contestants next, with Belgium's Loïc Nottet and Georgia's Nina Sublatti, who both brought their countries best ever entries to the contest in Vienna. The only One Direction single to feature in my countdown this year is 'Perfect'. After the disappointing 'Drag Me Down' (WHERE IS THE CHORUS!), 'Perfect' brought back that classic 1D sound. At #46 is the unjust flop of 2015, Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Run Away With Me'. How this wasn't a long-running number 1 like Bieber I'll never know. 5 Seconds of Summer have their second and last entry with comeback single 'She's Kinda Hot'. And a return to MF at #44 with veteran Magnus Carlsson and the schlager-tastic 'Möt mig i Gamla Stan'. Whilst MF 2016 hopeful Molly Sandén is at #43 with her most recent single 'Satellites'. Latvia are notoriously bad at Eurovision (even their 2002 winner is the worst since 1990) but all that changed in 2015 when they sent Aminata and her modern and contemporary 'Love Injected', which reached 6th place (bloody Australia!!1) And finally in this section is the woman who stole the show at Eurovision in Vienna, it's Conchita with the amazing 'Firestorm'. aZeyEM_m4XU
January 9, 20169 yr 5SOS *.* She's Kinda Hot is a fantastic song, glad it's appeared here! Yay for Perfect too, will Drag Me Down be appearing soon? :D x (srsly though, ALL MY LIFE YOU STOOD BY MEH is one hell of a chorus, you fiend!!1!)
January 9, 20169 yr Hi Adam, 42. Aminata - Love Injected 43. Molly Sandén - Satellites 45. 5 Seconds Of Summer - She's Kinda Hot 46. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me 48. Nina Sublatti - Warrior 49. Loïc Nottet - Rhythm Inside Carly and Loic are my faves there :D
January 10, 20169 yr Good seeing She's Kinda Hot here. Really reminds me of stuff around in the early noughties, definitely too catchy to avoid!
January 11, 20169 yr Hiii Adam! *.* My favourites from this page: 45. 5 Seconds Of Summer - She's Kinda Hot 46. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me 47. One Direction - Perfect 55. Little Mix - Love Me Like You :kink: Not a lot (it doesn't help that I'm not at one with Eurovision/what I assume are mainly Scandinavian artists), but Carly/1D & Little Mix tracks are amongst my favourites of the year. :wub:
January 14, 20169 yr Author 0jd0U4FrhO8 31. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You 32. Awa - Obvious 33. Sandra Lyng - Play My Drum 34. Samir & Viktor - Saxofuckingfon 35. Ida LaFontaine - Anthem 36. Kristin Amparo - I See You 37. Edurne - Amanecer 38. Foxes - Body Talk 39. Cheryl - Only Human 40. Dolly Style - Cherry Gum At #40 is Dolly Style with their infectious pure bubblegum pop song 'Cherry Gum'. Cheryl Fernadez-Versini is at #39 with her flop single 'Only Human' (although the radio edit was ruined so fair dos). Foxes has her only appearance with the brilliant 'Body Talk'. Unjust Spanish Eurovision flop (21st?!) Edurne and her 'Amanecer' are at #37, whilst unjust Melodifestivalen flop Kristin Amparo is at #36 with the stunningly beautiful 'I See You'. Also from MF are Samir & Viktor and they appear at #34 with their follow-up single 'Saxofuckingfon'. There's a best of BJSC section here, with Ida LaFontaine, Sandra Lyng and Awa. And at #31 is the recent smash single from Zara Larsson, with a little help from MNEK. H4Nze8zCslQ
January 14, 20169 yr Only Human :( poor flop. The radio mix was dreadful though so understandable. Never Forget You is a huge highlight here :heart: a part of me dies every time someone refers to it as just MNEK.
January 15, 20169 yr Author kaZ9SX9ccHw 21. Zara Larsson - Lush Life 22. Eric Saade - Sting 23. Emmelie de Forest - Hopscotch 24. Benjamin - Young & Restless 25. Satin Circus - Crossroads 26. Rita Ora ft. Chris Brown - Body On Me 27. Molly Sandén - Phoenix 28. Dinah Nah - Taste Your Love 29. Fleur East - Sax 30. Polina Gagarina - A Million Voices At #30 is the Russian entry from last year's Eurovision, 'A Million Voices' by Polina Gagarina who came second. Sax Count 42985. Or so it feels like. #29 sees the debut single from the people's champion of X Factor 2014, Fleur East. Yes it's a 'Uptown Funk' rip-off, but it's so infectious and feelgood. Dinah Nah's MF effort is still to come, but her follow-up single 'Taste Your Love' comes in at a respectable #28. Molly Sandén is at #27 with the amazing Sia-esque 'Phoenix'. Rita Ora STILL hasn't released her second album (making ANTI seem a normal wait!) but her second single from this year 'Body On Me' is an amazing RnB 'jam'. The true winners of UMK 2015 are at #25. Satin Circus and the amazing 'Crossroads' COULD have given Finland their second best ever result behind Lordi. But instead they went with some punk shit and came last in their semi. Another Finnish pop star of 2015 is at #24, Benjamin with the brilliant 'Young & Restless'. Eurovision 2013 winner Emmelie de Forest returned in 2015 with a more poppier sound than usual and I hope to hear more stuff from her in the vain of 'Hopscotch' soon! #22 is as popular as Eric Saade can hope for this year, after finishing 5th in Melodifestivalen (beaten by Hasse Andersson, the SHAME). And at #21 is the big hit of the right now, 'Lush Life' by Zara Larsson. When this was originally released in Sweden last summer I wasn't keen on the song, but it earwormed it's way into my affections and is looking likely to finish much higher in my 2016 EOY. 530xiUSr4GU
January 16, 20169 yr Young and Restless :wub: What a song! Although beaten by that Hopscotch thing :angry:
January 18, 20169 yr Author NDdI5hZiPa0 11. Justin Bieber - Sorry 12. Ace Wilder - Stupid 13. Ulrik Munther - Nån gång 14. Adele - Hello 15. Krista Siegfrids - Better On My Own 16. Loreen - I'm In It With You 17. Years & Years - King 18. Years & Years - Eyes Shut 19. Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean? 20. Rihanna ft. Kanye West & Sir Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds Kicking off the top 20 is Rihanna and her only hit single from 2015, 'FourFiveSeconds'. Many were disappointed when the track was released after nearly 3 years without Rih material, but I loved it from the start, so different from her. #19 is the first entry from the man of the year Justin Bieber. 'What Do You Mean?' is the first of holy trinity number 1's from Biebs. Double Years & Years next, with 'Eyes Shut' and 'King' respectively. And yes, I've got 'King' as my favourite, but I didn't really catch onto them until around 'Shine' so I never overplayed 'King'. Loreen is at #16 with the amazing 'I'm In It With You', despite it's awful video. Krista Siegfrids has got a busy few months ahead of her, hosting UMK in Finland and competing in the second heat of Melodifestivalen. 'Better On My Own' is a fantastic, modern pop song that was quite a hit in BJSC for me. At #14 is Adele. Not much too say other than amazing. Ulrik Munther is at #13 with his best ever single 'Nån gång'. It even got racist Joseph to listen to a foreign language song! :o #12 is last years' EOY #1, Ace Wilder with the stupendous 'Stupid'. And at #11 again is Justin Bieber, this time with 'Sorry'. v6qx5SjDGxQ
January 19, 20169 yr Much love for FourFiveSeconds, I'm In It With You, Hello, and Sorry <3 Does Loreen have any good videos!? I've yet to see one that I like.
January 22, 20169 yr Author MkElfR_NPBI 01. Molly Sandén - Like No One's Watching 02. Little Mix - Black Magic 03. Dinah Nah - Make Me (La La La) 04. Nadav Guedj - Golden Boy 05. Justin Bieber - Love Yourself 06. Måns Zelmerlöw - Heroes 07. Loreen - Paper Light (Higher) 08. Dolly Style - Hello Hi 09. Conchita - You Are Unstoppable 10. Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money And so onto the top 10. Rihanna just makes it in with the urban BOP 'Bitch Better Have My Money', which had the video of the year as far as I'm concerned. At #9 is the Eurogay anthem 'You Are Unstoppable' by Conchita. The first of 3 Melodifestivalen tracks in the top 10, 'Hello Hi' by Dolly Style had the lyrics of the year but was ultimately sacrificed for the GREATER CAUSE in andra chansen. Loreen's first single in 2 years came in the art form of 'Paper Light'. The Revisited version of the track is also worth a listen. Just falling short of the top 5 is the MF and Eurovision winner Måns Zelmerlöw and the brilliant 'Heroes'. Justin Bieber had an amazing 2015 and is already the king of 2016 as the beautiful 'Love Yourself' continues to reign high. At #4 is the highest Eurovision entry this year, Israel's Nadav Guedj and the party anthem 'Golden Boy'. In a year of a dull ballads, this was the Eurogay SAVIOUR. In third place is Dinah Nah and her MF effort, 'Make Me (La La La)'. After breaking the app voting in Sweden (*.*) she unjustly went on to finish in last place. And the runner-up is 'Black Magic' by Little Mix. Easily their best single ever and the best girlband single in YEARS. But my #1 of 2015 goes to the wonderful Molly Sandén and the stunning 'Like No One's Watching'. Molly had already slayed me on 'Freak' and 'Phoenix' and this, another co-write by the amazing Smith & Thell, just elevated my love for Molly to the next level. The whole EP is amazing, full of 10/10 moments. Molly may well be the first artist to top my EOY 2 years running, as she is one of the hot favourite to win Melodifestivalen 2016 and go on to represent Sweden on home soil, with 'Youniverse', co-written by her boyf Danny Saucedo. Thanks to everyone who commented :D ysiPW3JdvxI
January 22, 20169 yr Ooh good #1!! Didn't actually expect that either, over Little Mix and Dinah Nah. Lots of goodness though, especially Justin and Y&Y :wub:
