#75 - Jai Wolf 'Indian Summer'

#73 - Lana Del Rey 'High By The Beach'

#72 - Calvin Harris & Disciples 'How Deep Is Your Love?'

#71 - Polina Gagarina 'A Million Voices'

 

 

First up we have Florina's best entry ever :heart: I actually heard it before the contest in one of Ben Brown's vlogs but didn't know it's name until Frooty sent it! Such a good song to soundtrack stuff with and joyful and summerious :P

 

I didn't expect Rihanna to end up this low when I first started compiling this chart but I haven't really heard it very often since the first half of the year! Unlike some others I loved the stripped back feel to it and this allows the songwriting to shine through. It was the last thing I expected Rihanna to come out with in 2015 (well maybe bar opera and heavy metal :kink:) and was such a refreshing listen from the big pop songs we're used to her releasing to lead her eras!

 

Another lady I wasn't expecting to end up this low, it's my brooklyn baby Lana Del Rey. A little bit of a step down from her material in the past but it's still a solid song it's own right! Big love for the music video featuring helicopter + massive weapon plus the trap vibes she adopted <3

 

Overplayed killed this one. Poor Calvin and poor me :( This was so good on first listen and I loved the darker sound Calvin went for on How Deep Is Your Love but bloody Capital never know when enough is enough -_-

 

Finally it's Russia latest musical plea for peace. Polina Gagarina everybody! This one really came alive on the stage where Polina seemed to radiate both in visuals and her performance! It was a shame to hear the booing carry on for Russia as the song was brilliant plus Polina put her heart and soul into this! A good example of the quality of modern Eurovision :wub:

 

Lana, Calvin and Rihanna :cheer:

Completely agree with this! Shame it's not getting played anymore since it really proved to be a hit chartwise. Definitely a very unexpected collab and sound but it worked so well!

Begin the speculation!

#30-#29

 

 

#30 - Hendersin 'All I Got'

#29 - Everything Everything 'Distant Past'

 

 

Two BJSC entries to start off! At #30 was my first entry of the year (and first DNQ :() I'm still surprised Hendersin didn't take off but I guess I didn't factor in BJSC's hatred of male rap!!! It's sole fan bar me appears to be Iz, who I'm sure will articulate about how good it is much better than me, but it's a fun catchy little track with a 'nightcored' chorus of Yael Naim's New Soul. The rapped verses are equally as interesting with some really great thought-out lyrics.

 

At #29 is a song I don't really associate with BJSC anymore, it's PRoJ's 'Distant Past'. I was aware of Everything Everything thanks to the wacky Cough Cough prior to this, but Distant Past really elevated my interest in them and I've been keeping up with their singles from this latest era. Like most of their discography, Distant Past is fast-paced and an entertaining listen that no other band could recreate. Didn't see this becoming a hit but the quality of the song shone through that it connect with the pop-leaning BJSC public to finish in 7th place in BJSC 73.

KING BIEBER STILL TO COME :cheer:

#28-#27

 

 

#28 - Whilk & Misky 'Burn With Me'

#27 - Adele 'Hello'

 

 

First up is yet another Klum DNQ, one that I did see coming and probably will never make a lasting impression with the BJSC audience. To this day I still love with Burn With Me, it has such a cinematic sound to it and I can just visualise a bunch of cowboys sitting round a campfire at night with suspicion rife. I love a song that can create a vivid image in my head <3 The track is slow and brooding and it builds and builds but doesn't quite give it all away accompanied by that slow thudding throughout and the acoustic guitars. LOVE IT.

 

A modern day classic already. Iconic and totally worth the hype. Adele returned with the power ballad we weren't aware we needed. I love that an artist like Adele can gain so much love across a whole range of people, young and old alike. I'm sure the fact that opening line is so memeable helped out quite a bit :lol:

Hellooo Klum, great list so far, lots of BJSC highlights (and one of my own in there too with Owsey :heart: that coming up exactly when you got bored of commentary tho :arrr:) and some good picks of chart hits as well. The top 30 looks pretty great too, keep it up!
