:lame: #3: Kygo feat. Ella Henderson - Here For You

 

 

Admittedly the fact I had my own vision on this song's video didn't help matters. But this video is awful. It consists mainly of people touching either themselves of other people, which can be cool if you're into that sort of thing, I guess. The moments where Kygo is on his own playing the piano are the best, as my vision of the video was him playing the video while Ella is performing the song. Not the best concept, I'll admit, but it would have been a lot better than this.

 

 

#4: Little Mix - Love Me Like You

 

 

Everything about this video is perfect. The four girls look great, the story is really good, and it's all lots of fun. Apart for the part where the girls discover what the boy is up to, of course. I feel so bad for Jade at the moment, around 2:32. And of course, who can forget Jade's bored dancing in the third chorus!

#3: Ella Eyre - Good Times

 

 

This video is just so much fun! It's summery, shows Ella and her friends get up to lots of mischief, and is really enjoyable. And who wouldn't want free ice cream? (as long as the flavour isn't coconut :puke2:)

:lame: #2: Justin Bieber - Sorry

 

 

It's quite ironic that Sorry is Justin Bieber's best song, but has his worst music video, if you can actually call this a music video. Some of the dance moves are disgusting, some of the women really annoy me, so I really hope they get round to making a proper video. Because this one is horrific.

:lame: #1: David Guetta feat. Emeli Sandé - What I Did For Love

 

 

And the worst music video of 2015 has got to be the terrible video for the great What I Did For Love. After making the great video for Lovers On The Sun and the decent one for Dangerous, David Guetta returned to the previous style used for Shot Me Down and Bad, both of which had awful videos aswell as a result. There are no words to say how bad this video is. Watch at your own risk.

 

 

#2: Years & Years - King

 

 

In second place we have the fantastically choreographed video for King. It may be slightly weird for some, but for me, this video is absolutely great. Especially the third chorus and outro.

#1: Little Mix - Black Magic

 

 

And the best music video of 2015 has got to be the fabulous video for Black Magic. The story is great, everything is well done, and obviously the accompanying song is fantastic. This perfect formula is sure to make almost everyone fall in love with the video, and for me, it is undoubtedly the best music video of 2015.

Fantastic to see the 2 Little Mix videos top 5, they have really come into their own this year and both videos are easily up there with the best :wub: :wub:

Glad to see the two Little Mix videos top 5...I actually like the Justin Bieber video the dance moves are good.

Hi Taylor

 

Really love Title, a big fan of Meghan's whole sound and image actually. One of my favourite newbies of recent times. Really hoping she pushes Title as the final single because it's SO catchy. So glad she's had successful singles though outside of AATB so we can get a new album.

I don't know what could be the last single really. I prefer No Good For You but that's on the deluxe.

 

Title is incredible :wub: One of the best pop albums of the year, let alone one of the best altogether and is full of so many fantastic highlights :wub:[/b]

I quite liked it, personally.

 

Disclosure is my fave there :heart:

 

Stereophonics aint bad either :)

 

although Title can go far away :puke:

I'll have to disagree on Title.

 

Ellie :heart: Coldplay :heart: Sigma :heart: Florence :heart: all really good :cheer:

Obviously I agree.

 

Ella Eyre :cheer:

 

Comeback, Together, All About You, Good Times, If I Go, Even If, Deeper are all outstanding :heart:

Personally Deeper hasn't ever impressed me. I'd say it's one of the weakest tracks on Feline.

 

I see you not liking a few of the Stories tracks but it's still great to see it at #14 :cheer: my favourite album of the year unsurprisingly.

 

Really enjoyed Delirium :music: I am not what you call a stan but this album definitely made me see the light in her music even more :o I should get around to listening to her older albums again in case I grow to them :D (Codes not in your memorable tracks though? :( )

 

Enjoyed Life also :dance: Ella Eyre's album is ok but it's really the singles that hit me. Little Mix did a similar thing to Ellie with Get Weird :cheer: in the way that their previous albums didn't really get my attention but I really liked most of the tracks on this one :D

 

Enjoyed Communion too :D

I only like one single from Stories and that's The Nights. The other vary from dull (The Days and Broken Arrows) and pure musical ear grinding (Waiting For Love, For A Better Day and well, Pure Grinding)

 

Feline! Incredible album I agree one of only three albums I bought this year.

 

Sigma's Life was pretty strong too, when you splash out 5 or 6 singles before the album you have to expect a good offering.

 

Delirium another highlight of mine, really quite up there and not lower in quality than her first two.

I asked to get Feline (the deluxe edition) for Christmas, along with most albums on the list. I've only received three, and all were standard edition, despite my instructions to buy the deluxe. This is actually quite annoying.

 

Adore stole the Show, Cheyenne is great but not his best, deserved much better than its chart peak though!

PBJ is so funky :funky: I don't really enjoy DMD either and not heard NHS but I don't have any interest in going to and it stopped Bieber staying at #1 :angry:

A Bridge Over You has got to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, murder of a classic. It's a double-murder of Bridge Over Troubled Water and Fix You, two classics who are made into a dog's dinner.

 

Sigala, Taylor, Years and Years and Disclosure all really lovely songs :heart:

 

Where R U Now video isnt bad just doesnt make sense :lol:

I am commenting on the videos, but all four are great songs.

 

Fantastic to see Peanut Butter Jelly, Hello and especially Wildest Dreams all here :wub: All fantastic videos :heart: :heart:

 

Agree with you on the Selena video, so terrible!

Obviously I agree.

 

WD is quite a relaxing video and song! Not quite as good as SIO/BS/OotW/Style but still rather nice. Especially loved Sam Feldt's remixed Eyes Shut :music:

 

Disagree with Skriplo :no: I grew into it later on :dance:

 

Enjoyed the Sigala video! Agre with Sam Smith though, boring video and song, so it is only fitting that it had such a video!

 

Love most of the Avicii videos! I think ICBTO is my favourite along with the Nights. Love Phillip George one too ^_^ I find Jess looks great in all her videos imo.

 

Hello's video is quite good, but nothing amazing. Forgot how good the Glitterball video was an just thought WTWM was ok.

Personally Wildest Dreams is actually my favourite song from this era. I haven't heard that remix, but Sam Feldt is the person responsible for the torturous Show Me Love so I'd rather stay away from his future material if possible.

Anyway, thanks for commenting!

Both of those videos are ace. Thanks for commenting!

Agree for Little Mix. Disagree for Justin Bieber. Anyway, thanks for commenting!

Most of your videos lists I agree with although I'd say Where Are U Now is visually one of the best of the year to me. Also Good For You would be in my top 10 just because it IS Selena Gomez being all seductive.

 

Good Times & Black Magic both excellent picks in the top 3.

 

Love the Easy Love video and LMLY one is great :cheer: I guess the dance videos like Sorry and the Ellie Goulding SITWYM get old after it's been done once but they can be ok. Do you not like the recent set of David Guetta animated ones then? :P I think WIDFL is the least interesting one though. Like the King one and Black Magic had a great story and visual effects :cheer: good #1.

 

btw Sam Feldt is a producer not a vocalist :P

The proper Good Times was a lot better than the other one, in my opinion. Thanks for commenting and agreeing with my number #1!

I know he's a producer. It happens to be the production that makes Show Me Love so horrid.

Anyway, thanks for commenting! And thanks for agreeing my number #1!

Event sponsored by this song:

 

 

In the final event before the top 200, we will be looking back at the people who redeemed themselves this year.

 

To have redeemed themselves, the artist must have made a bad song/atrocity, either this year or in years past, but have made up for it (either totally or partially) by making a great song this year.

 

A few rules:

1. I'll be excluding people who have redeemed themselves a long time ago and have been top notch ever since. We aren't going to begrudge Little Mix for ruining Damien Rice's classic forever.
   On the other hand, artists who were on a downwards spiral towards being terrible, but then returned to their previous glory do qualify

2. The artist can have made multiple bad songs, and can have made multiple good songs in their redemption.
3. The bad song must come BEFORE the good song for the artist to qualify. You can't say Philip George redeemed himself for Alone No More with Wish You Were Mine or Afraid To Love, or that Natalie La Rose redeemed herself for Around The World with Somebody, as Wish You Were Mine/Afraid To Love and Somebody came before Alone No More and Around The World.
4. I am limiting myself to artists having made really really bad songs, so songs that were simply boring or overexposed do NOT count. Night Changes, Drag Me Down, Sing and Thinking Out Loud aren't that bad, just at a point where I'd rather never hear them again, so One Direction and Ed Sheeran aren't appearing for Perfect, Bloodstream, Photograph and Lay It All On Me.
5. I'm also excluding one-offs, where an artist has merely made a good song before continuing making bad ones. As if Chris Brown is getting off the hook just for being involved with Body On Me and Do It Again! :lol:

DJ Snake

 

The offense: Turn Down For What (with Lil Jon) (2014)

 

 

UK chart peak: #23

Current placing on worst songs of all-time list: #11

 

The redemption: Lean On (with Major Lazer feat. MØ) (2015)

 

 

UK chart peak: #2

Personal chart peak: #7

 

First off is DJ Snake who started his career with Lil Jon on the atrocious Turn Down For What, a "song" which I would turn down to the volume of 0 for the sake of my ears. After a few months he collaborated with the Major Lazer and MØ to make the fantastic Lean On, a song which will be remembered for a very long time and deservedly so. That, and his remix of You Know You Like It got him struck off the Musical Offenders List.

Edited December 29, 20159 yr by Taylor Jago

DJ has redept himself although I enjoyed that Turn Down For What song :(

Oooh looking forward to this Redemption thing Taylor! :cheer:

 

I love both of those equally I think, I do enjoy a wacky track :lol:

Jason Derulo

 

The offense: Wiggle (featuring Snoop Dogg) (2014)

 

 

UK chart peak: #8

Current placing on worst songs of all-time list: #10

 

The redemption: Cheyenne

 

UK chart peak: N/A

Personal chart peak: #7

 

 

Jason Derulo's Tattoos era hadn't gone down very well, with only The Other Side being any good, but Talk Dirty was only ever bad and Trumpets was mildly enjoyable if in the mood. So really, if this "song" was the best he could do as a single, then really, he really was hopeless at the time. There is no excuse for any artist, especially two well-known ones, to make such a bad song, and Wiggle has rightfully sent both artists involved into hiding. When they came back, they were welcomed by a tarnished reputation and the need for a great song to turn everything around. Facing the challenge, Jason created the fantastic Cheyenne, which criminally never entered the UK Chart, but made it to #7 on my personal chart.

 

On a side note, will.i.am. could start working on something, Or is he just going to let the horror that was It's My Birthday kill off his entire solo career?

Charli XCX

 

The offense: Fancy (with Iggy Azalea) (2014)

 

 

UK chart peak: #5

Current placing on worst songs of all-time list: #13

 

The redemption: Doing It (featuring Rita Ora)

 

 

UK chart peak: #8

Personal chart peak: #9

 

Technically Boom Clap was her redemption, but it didn't yet stop her from being associated with the godawful Fancy. It was Doing It, a collaboration with fellow Iggy Azalea collaborator Rita Ora (who unlike Charli, was actually capable of making a good song with her) which helped her get rid of this albatross. How it managed to drop out after a mere six weeks when Fancy and another new entry that week, the execrable Ayo, had stays longer than four months in the top 40 is beyond me.
