So I compiled one of these but never have time to do anything resembling a countdown with any commentary.

 

Top 100 singles of and 10 albums of 2015, AKA the year I completely lost touch with what's happing in the charts and being played on the radio. After listening to the Christmas chart I realised that 2/3 of the songs I recognised were Christmas songs from yesteryear, and that having heard the majority of the rest for the first time, this was no bad thing.

 

Things of note:

 

- Robyn becomes the joint most end of year charted artist in the 14 years I've been doing these with her 13th and 14th entries :heart:

- Purity Ring are in my end of year top 5 for the third consecutive year, should be fourth, no idea what I was doing putting Fineshrine outside of the top 10 in 2012.

- First ever runner up double

- Definitely the most similar tops of singles/albums charts have looked
