#162: Indiana - Solo Dancing

A holdover from last year, Solo Dancing is (currently) the only hit for Indiana. It's a shame, since Only The Lonely was quite good.

The victim of the most idiotic decision made by our music-buying public is at #161. Honestly, 22 years later I still cannot believe Mr. Blobby was Christmas number one over this.

#155: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Queen's signature song (well, they have quite a few, but this is their most well-known), this has won the title of The Nation's Favourite Number One, The Nation's Favourite 70's Number One, and The Nation's Favourite Queen Song, the latter two being this year. It's clear that Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most loved songs of all-time, and deservedly so.

Like the Indiana song, don't mind the Sam Smith song after a couple of listens, then it gets usual boring as per from Mr Smith -_-

 

Good to see Rixton being appreciated here :D WOM is a fairly decent follow up from the great MAMBH, WAWTST wasn't that good and the vocals seemed to high pitched for me to get into it :|

 

Ready For Your Love appearing here too :o good song, does MNEK wonders with the vocals. It's aged a little for me though. That Queen classic *.*

At #154 we have my third favourite song of 2014 (behind "Riptide" and "Crying For No Reason"). Rather Be still doesn't sound old, and it has cemented itself as one of the best tracks of the decade.

At #153 we have George Ezra with his second single, Blame It On Me. This may a controversial opinion but, as much as I like Budapest, I find Blame It On Me to be even better.

The first 2015 song in this countdown since Higher, Alone Too is an album track of Feline, and one of the highlights of the album. It was one of three previously unheard songs from the album to enter my top 40 that week; Always and Even If being the others. This meant the album was one to eight of my personal chart top 40 hits (If I Go, Comeback, Gravity, Together, Good Times, Always, Even If

Just missing the top 150 is Take That's Rule The World. After I did a project on the band in German (for which I got an A- :cheer:) some of their best hits climbed back up my chart, with this making my top 40.

Just in the top 150 is Gabrielle Aplin, who previously made the year-end top 10 with The Power Of Love at #8 in 2012 and Please Don't Say You Love Me at #2 in 2013. This got to #7 before falling quickly. It's still good though.

Finishing in the #141-#150 section for a second year is Sam Smith with Like I Can. When I listened to In The Lonely Hour, this and Life Support were my favourite songs out of the previously unheard, and so I hoped this would be a single. Thankfully, it was released, and made the top 10.

Little Mix's second appearance here, with the second part of Secret Love Song. This version is more piano-based, doesn't have Jason Derulo, and while not quite as good as the original, is still a great track.

With the Avicii remix at #199, and the release of Faithless 2.0, of course one of the greatest dance songs of all-time was going to return to my EOY top 200. It reached #6 and got 6 weeks in the chart off the Avicii remix, a week off the release of Faithless 2.0, and three weeks off the BBC Music Awards performance.

The first of two Ellie Goulding appearances, Army is the set to be the second/third single from Delirium. Personally I quite prefer this to Something In The Way You Move.
