January 30, 20169 yr Author #11: Blonde featuring Melissa Steel - I Loved You hqQY9UkGC_A Year of release: 2014 Chart Run: {1-1-2-3-3-1-1-3-3-4-5-6-7-6-5-5-6-6-7-6-7-9-8-12-15-17-22-22-21-21-22-24-25-27-30-27-23-19-26-34-35-39-43-50-54-60-60-63-67-83-88-93-88-x-88-85-69-63-92} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 51 2014 EOY: #67 Just missing the top 10 is Blonde's I Loved You, which has spent a total of four weeks at number one in my chart. It's a shame Melissa Steel followed this up with the terrible You Love Me?, but Blonde have continued bringing the tunes with All Cried Out, Feel Good (It's Alright) and Cast A Spell.
January 30, 20169 yr Author #10: Little Mix - Love Me Like You 1WpoKRnoPRU Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {20-3-1-3-2-3-4-3-5-6-7-2-5-6-1-2-8-11-11...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 14 Kicking off the top 10 is Little Mix with Love Me Like You. Everything about it is fantastic, from the sha-la-la-la parts to which I used to go down the stairs, to the verses, and the chorus. It's a shame this didn't make the top 10, but with all its success I don't think that matters too much.
January 30, 20169 yr Author #9: Little Mix - Black Magic MkElfR_NPBI Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {2-2-3-4-6-6-1-4-3-5-8-7-9-11-16-22-28-30-30-37-35-37-39-21-26-30-35-33-33-31-22-18-29-32-38...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 30 At #9 we have one of the biggest hits of the year, Little Mix's Black Magic. Again, this is absolutely fabulous, and this is currently my favourite from them, although Love Me Like You could take that crown. I wish we had absolutely fabulous, successful in the UK only number ones instead of the good but not great such as Love Yourself or Stitches. How anyone could think Worth It is better than this is beyond me, but apparently those people exist, but I wouldn't pay attention to them, especially since they like talking to pillows.

January 30, 20169 yr Author #8: Ella Eyre - Together eK5mH9oF7T4 Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {15-10-16-18-18-18-19-7-1-4-5-6-9-8-11-14-12-16-17-16-16-11-5-7-8-12-17-20-24-27-30-32-42-45-48-43-50-51-52-32-33-46-53-62...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 39 At #8 we have Ella Eyre with Together, whcih was her third number one in my personal chart. This has grown to be my favourite of hers, it's just so uplifting and fantastic. If she makes a second album, I hope there's a song as amazing as this.
January 30, 20169 yr Author #7: Philip George - Wish You Were Mine d7ypnPjz81I Year of release: 2014 Chart Run: {9-4-1-2-5-2-3-4-3-3-3-4-4-4-5-6-8-9-10-11-12-12-15-17-18-19-21-24-23-23-24-24-28-29-31-32-36-39-44-43-49-55-66-76-97-94-92-89-90-87-82-53-62-76-88-95...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 51 At #7 we have Philip George with Wish You Were Mine. This samples Stevie Wonder's 1969 number four hit "My Cherie Amour", which means Stevie Wonder has been the vocalist on a song in my EOY top 200 for three years in a row (he appeared in 2013 and 2014 with For Once In My Life). Anyway, this just makes me want to dance, and its success (which earned it a Best British Single nomination) is very pleasing to see. Hopefully he still has tunes like this in him.
January 30, 20169 yr Author #6: Jess Glynne - Don't Be So Hard On Yourself THeLVhU53ow Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {9-2-5-1-4-3-4-2-1-2-2-3-4-9-11-13-16-20-24-28-31-27-32-34-27-21-8-7-13-17-23...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 26 In sixth place we have Jess Glynne with Don't Be So Hard On Yourself, which thankfully spent a week at number one in the official chart. I really wasn't going to put up with this spending the week at iTunes #1 but missing out in the end, after the two songs coming up did exactly that. This has actually had a longer top 40 than Hold My Hand, and is still in the top 40 after 24 weeks. For me, this is even better. An absolutely fabulous song.

January 30, 20169 yr Author #5: Years & Years - Shine hXTAn4ELEwM Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {1-2-2-6-7-5-5-4-1-2-3-2-2-1-3-3-3-4-4-6-10-12-12-14-17-19-20-24-24-26-26-22-19-14-14-25-25-28...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 33 Years & Years now with the absolutely epic Shine. This was held off number one on July 10th 2015 by House Every Weekend, possibly because people confused the DJ who made the track (David Zowie) for the musical icon (and Years & Years' hero, according to their tribute to him) who died precisely six months after this injustice. What a coincidence. Anyway, this is absolutely stunning, and without a doubt one of the best tracks of 2015.
January 30, 20169 yr Author #4: Sigma feat. Ella Henderson - Glitterball DQF5aHVOW5s Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {1-1-2-2-3-3-3-2-1-1-2-4-5-8-8-10-9-14-13-10-12-15-15-18-20-20-21-13-13-14-9-8-15-18-24...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 30 At #4 we have Sigma and Ella Henderson with Glitterball, which is one of the best tracks of 2015 and possibly even of the decade so far. Sigma's production is glorious, Ella's vocals are magnificent, for me this is a classic (for me).
January 30, 20169 yr Author #3: Ella Henderson - Mirror Man 7Nplwr5simI Year of release: 2014 Chart Run: {23-13-16-17-11-3-2-1-1-1-2-2-2-3-4-4-4-2-4-5-7-6-5-5-5-4-4-5-5-6-7-8-10-11-13-14-15-13-12-10-10-10-8-9-9-13-14-15-17-18-24-27-30-33-34-29-32-32-35-36-46-46-31-37-44-45-46-25-29-42-47-54..} 2015 Peak: #2 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 52 2014 EOY: #20 In third place is Ella Henderson's Mirror Man, which has spent the entire year in the chart, not once going lower than #46. This is absolutely fantastic, and the fact it only reached #96 in the UK chart will never fail to infuriate me. An absolute masterpiece.
January 30, 20169 yr Author #2: Florence + The Machine - What Kind Of Man XgeKHTcufLY Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-1-2-3-3-6-8-4-1-3-1-5-10-13-15-16-17-20-24-30-31-34-40-45-50-48-49-50-64-82-76-79-80-80-76-73-52-48-70-80-87...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 44 At #2 we have Florence + The Machine with the first single off How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. This spent a total of 9 weeks at number one, the first being in late February and the last being in early July, and even today it is absolutely fantastic. The soft beginning, going until the end of the first chorus, is beautiful, while the rock-heavy rest of the song also slays. For me, the fact it reached only #37 is unforgivable.
January 30, 20169 yr Author #1: Years & Years - King g_uoH6hJilc Year of release: 2015 Chart Run: {15-11-6-3-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-1-2-5-6-5-7-10-9-9-6-7-7-4-8-11-12-12-13-13-16-17-16-15-16-17-9-11-14-18-19-22-21-24-20-18-15-3-6-12-16-19...} Peak: #1 Weeks on top 100 in 2015: 50 And my favourite song of 2015 is Years & Years with King. This is absolutely sublime, and over a year on it's still as great as ever. In the UK chart, this spent a week at #1 and 24 weeks in the top 40 (and still hasn't dropped out of the top 100) so it's had the success it deserves, and the fact it won Buzzjack's Favourite Number 1 of 2015 proves it gets the praise around here aswell. This is almost universally beloved, and for very good reason.
