Posted June 29, 20169 yr HI! Now we have all top 40 charts for the first 6 months of the year, it's time for the Spintastic Midyear chart :yahoo: As with the previous EOYs, any song that has charted at all in my top 40 in the year of 2016 so far, including songs carrying on from 2015 or re-entering into 2016 will be eligible for this countdown! A reminder that a bi-week at #40 is one "sale" or "K" and a bi-week at #1 is 40 "sales" or "K". The top songs are ranked in order of biggest "sales" that the song has sold this year, not in total (for songs charting in 2015 also). Stats 206 songs, with:86 new entries since the Jan-Mar EOY, 38 having debuted in 2015, 19 of which selling over 500K in this year alone (2 of these 5 debuting in 2015 also!), an increase of 14 since March, The most appearances from Against the Current (12), PVRIS (6), Rachel Platten (6), 6 appearances of one of my all-time faves Avicii, as well as other artists who have appeared the most, which are Galantis (5), Halsey (4), Ellie Goulding (4), Carly Rae Jepsen (4), Danny El Harle (4), Different Heaven (4), Jasmine Thompson (3), LarsM (3) and Diviners (3). As I said in my bi-weekly chart thread I'll be on holiday for 2 weeks with limited time online so this may be going at a slow pace for a bit, but I'll try to get some of the lower stats posted soon :D

July 2, 20169 yr Author #100: BYNON & RUMORS - City Of Angels 163K z-UXddl0HHg [18/05/16] [20-15-11-17-20-20-24-38>8] Nice laid back tune with male vocals. I think the vocal is the same person in the Oliver Heldens ft. RUMORS song, Ghost but I'm not sure. #99: Seven Lions ft. Lynn Gunn - Lose Myself 168K sMVw-jNiI10 [27/04/16] [37-27-30-29-29-24-25-25-28-39-31-29-37-37-33-37-40-40>18] A pretty lengthy run for a track that only peaked at #25. This comes from BJSC a few months ago, sent by Taahino/Lindsey. The use of Lynn's, from PVRIS, vocals in a dance track really works and I love how the production sounds very Zedd :dance: I gave it 15 in the contest behind MENDOZA which had a similar chart run, but this outstayed it by a few weeks :P #98: Anton Powers - Love You Better [iN CHART] 176K 5z7MLq_LNTo [25/05/16] [15-15-12-12-16-26-37-35-34-39-38...>11] Anton Powers has his own song after the Phillip George collab in Alone No More, with female vocals. A great summer tune :music: it gets old after a while though, as the chart run shows :P #97: Klingande ft. Daylight - Losing U 174K (+8K) LtoGGA7Lo4E [17/03/16] [28-25-16-16-12-14-29-31-32-33>10] Some strings ^_^ nothing that special here but it's a pretty decent comeback for the amazing Sonnentanz debut :wub: #96: Jack Garratt - Surprise Yourself (Gryffin & Manila Killa Remix) 176K tT4Bd_vUOn8 [08/05/16] [29-23-20-15-14-17-21-29-33-39-40-36>12] This is remixed really well, which is a common theme for Gryffin :kink: I'm not big on the original or Jack's vocals which brough this down a bit for me, but the instrumental breaks :music: Edited July 3, 20169 yr by memebury.
July 3, 20169 yr Author #95: Different Heaven ft. Sian Area - Your Life 176K (+53K) cROy49Mzo8w [20/03/16] [30-19-11-12-10-18-19-33>7] Still maintaining the OMG/Nekozilla type sound, but this one has vocals too which is a good twist. I loved it for a while but its chart run was pretty short for a top 10! :lol: #94: Lost Frequencies feat. Janieck Devy - Reality (Uberjak'd Radio Edit) (2015) 181K (+0K) (485K 2015) (666K Total) OZWWTRtNi54 [15/11/15] [10-3-3-2- 4-4-6-7-8-8-7-7-10-10-18-15-17-24-30-28-31-36-32-34-353-32-35-35>30] 666K This sold 666K in total and 485 in 2015. Loving the tropical house in here :music: and the sudden change after the drop is great. Very addictive remix this is :D #93: The Chainsmokers ft. Daya - Don't Let Me Down 183K (+148K) qMH0Xglh7GA [27/03/16] [29-18-11-12-14-15-26-29-32>9] This gets most of its sales from Q2, especially seeing as it was only #94 in the Q1 EOY :o love the vocals and the usual Chainsmokers style sound. Great follow up to Roses :wub: #92: Against The Current - Demons [iN CHART] 190K YuBydllZYOM [12/06/16] [11-11-9-9-8-8-...>6] One of my faves from my favourite album of the year and debut discovery, ATC's Demons was a late grower for me and didn't initially chart it but her vocals in this are fab (just warning you now, I'll be saying this a lot for the ATC tracks to come :kink: ) #91: MOUNT & Nicolas Haelg - Something Good 192K (+3K) XLqBSnSaUkE ][14/02/16] [21-22-17-17-22-29-34-31-38-31-27-31-30-35-38>15] 192K667K Walking With Elephants part 2? Yup pretty much :kink: this one has vocals though. It's your basic style apart from that. And because of the Ten Walls cloning this was never going to do that well in the chart. Edited July 3, 20169 yr by memebury.
July 3, 20169 yr Author #90: Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods (2015) 195 (+0K) (375K 2015) (570K Total) JLf9q36UsBk [25/11/15] [6-6-53-6-5-8-10-8-12-11-9-11-13-19-20-19-31>19] One of my faves from 1989, and while it was released as a single eventually (with an amazing video too :wub: ) it did little in the chart :( well at least the forum has a somewhat big following for this particular track *cough* JSG *cough* #89: LarsM - Elve (2015) 198K (+0K) (84K 2015) (282K Total) 34a83n3lgy4 [20/12/15] [16-12-11-9-8-14-15-16-21-27-33-37-36-39-39>15] One of the more recent LarsM track charted (yes it's been a while but he's still working on new stuff), I particularly love the build up at the end with the harmonic vocals :wub: the production does sound quite basic elsewhere, but it's nothing too major really. The beginning bit as I said really makes up for it though! #88: Tove Lo - Moments (Seeb Remix) 199K (+28K) wmlD08mdW40 [09/03/16] [26-18-10-9-10-22-21-26-28>9] SeeB, who's well known for remixing I Took A Pill In Ibiza still to come, remixes this fan favourite from Tove's album Queen of the Clouds. His remixing technique sounds a lot like the Mike Posner one, I particularly love the "I keep getting gone" parts :dance: the repetition gets it old for a short time though unfortunately. #87: Illenium ft. Nina Sung - Only One 199K (+0K) fz8KG023pww [07/02/16] [28-22-19-19-21-19-23-24-21-27-29>11] Spirals gets a sequel! :cheer: beautiful female vocals here, a bit like in Spirals but not so much that it's a clone of it. The drop is very much like the one in the Jack Garrett remix from earlier imo. #86: MKTO - Hands Off My Heart 211K (+41K) g_J7LiDh1Y0 [27/03/16] [10-6-8-11-16-17-21-32>8] Got this after subscribing to MKTO, was hoping to get on board with another track from this duo after the amazing Classic and Thank You from 2014 :wub: it was mostly the chorus that I adored in here rather than the verses really, so that's why it didn't do that well here I think. Edited July 3, 20169 yr by memebury.
July 3, 20169 yr Author #85: Mashd N Kutcher - My Sunshine 208K (+0K) OQneiz_9nkA [14/02/16] [28-20-11-9-10-12-17-24-30>9] Another lush sounding one that gold quickly. It did hold up well in the high region of the chart for a while though. #84: John Dahlbäck ft. Alexx Mack - Count To Ten (2015) 208K (352K 2015) (560K Total) KQuJztekWfk&list=PL24uhPrjHZXilj7pJ8-aGA5-MKC_3J30m [29/11/15] [2-3-4-4-5-7-6-93-6-13-13-14-14-15-21-29-36>19] This is a weird track because I find the verses quite irritating, but the choruses are amazingly good :music: maybe this would have lasted longer if there was a balance. #83: Ellie Goulding - Army (Danny Dove Remix) 209K (+0K) l9uz2vLDaw0 [03/02/16] [10-8-7-7-12-19-27-30-40>9] A fab remix of Army now. If I didn't already chart the original previously this might have lasted longer here. It beat the original by over 100 places here though :lol: #:82 Conrad Sewell - Taste The Feeling (Avicii Version) 209K (+73K) DMbIFuy_-Lo [06/03/16] [37-29-27-18-16-18-23-24-23-21-23-29-36>13] The original Coca Cola campaign song with Avicii gets an Avicii version so of course it charts here :kink: Nothing major but it's a nice little tune while Avicii is in a quiet period. Great vocals from Conrad too. #81: Sam Feldt - Been A While (Madison Mars Remix) 212K dEu54L6PkSg [24/04/16] [15-11-8-8-9-20-25-35-32-35>10] A remix of the latest Sam Feldt track now. The original was fairly good but not enough for me to chart it. This was a bop for me but has a pretty short chart life here, oops :lol: the drop reminds me a lot of Tiesto's Chemicals I charted last year.
July 3, 20169 yr Author #80: PVRIS - Mirrors 214K dsH8qMjnjDI [11/05/16] [14-11-12-10-10-13-17-30-38>9] #79: Benny Benassi & Vassy - Even If 216K (+0K) Xtge8TvTZ1E [14/02/16] [30-17-12-8-14-13-13-19-32-37-40>11] Sick tune from Spinnin Rec :music: love Vassy's sound, should listen to more of his music :thinking: #78: TheFatRat ft. Laura Brehm - The Calling 220K KR-eV7fHNbM [20/04/16] TheFatRat - The Calling (ft. Laura Brehm) [12-10-7-15-13-13-24-24-36-36>10] Following two big successful BJSC entries Windfall and Monody, this track is another bop and sounds quite different to the former two. The vocals in this are lovely :wub: #77: Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza (SeeB Remix) 224K (+2K) DjWcwMsm-3M [17/01/16] [31-31-28-26-26-27-28-23-29-34-30-28-24-31-30-36-34-37-35-37-39-40-37-39>23] Tropical house remix but also a big chart hit :cheer: I've only ever heard this guy in the song With Ur Love with Cher Lloyd. Love the Avicii reference too :P Lost In Detroit was trying so hard to recreate this though :mellow: #76: Coldplay ft. Beyoncé - Hymn For The Weekend 226K (+31K) YykjpeuMNEk [21/02/16] [34-32-28-26-24-22-17-13-12-21-34-34-29-29-37-38>16] Coldplay have been on fire for me this era :o Adventure... was a minor hit here but this did pretty well considering I don't usually grip onto this band.
July 4, 20169 yr Author #75: Sia - Alive (Cahill Remix) (2015) 228K (222K 2015) (450K Total) PY9PPJUDKYI [09/12/15] [17-12-10-8-6-5-7-5-5-7-10-8-14-21-30>16] I didn't like the original much at all. I think it was because of the held notes in her vocals and repetition but this remix transforms it incredibly well! Again the repetition caused it to fall after a time. #74: Naxsy ft. Agathe - What I Might Do (Ben Pearce Cover) 228K (+210K) y6GvzXiwQOY [30/03/16] [23-14-14-11-13-30-26-21-24-36-39>12] Imany meets Ben Pearce if you like :P brilliant remake/cover of the original, which was ok for me but this is pretty decent :music: #73: Alan Walker - Sing Me To Sleep [iN CHART] 232K 2i2khp_npdE [10-84-7-6-...>7] Only 3 and half weeks in my chart, #73 follows the follow up to the hit Faded (which was also #1 on my chart and still to come). It uses very much the same style as the former, and the same vocal, but it still works out differently. Mega hype for future trax by Alan :dance: #72: Oliver Heldens feat. RUMORS - Ghost 235K (+88K) dPnEXx1vwVA [13/03/16] [25-14-13-13-15-19-20-18-17-23-40-40>12] One of my favourite house DJs of the past couple of years, Oliver maintains his recognisable sound here :music: #71: Fifth Harmony ft. Ty Dolla $ign - Work From Home 235K (+43K) 5GL9JoH4Sws [02/03/16] [25-19-18-21-24-19-22-23-21-26-27-31-22>13] After the somewhat dissapointing Worth It, 5H have come back with in my opinion their strongest since Bo$$. I like the production and the repetition in the choruses are pretty catchy :D
July 5, 20169 yr Author #70: Avicii - Broken Arrows (Didrick Remix) 235K (+8K) JkZYjKVEo3U [24/02/16] [22-17-14-10-8-11-20-29-28-32-33-35-39>13] A very funky remix of Broken Arrows. I spotted quickly that it has a very similar sound to that of Owl City, specifically the song Dental Care which was quite amusing ^_^ #69: Against The Current - Wasteland [iN CHART] 236K ya-SzODPFVc [25/05/16] [9-8-11-14-19-22-21-21-23-26-...>10] One of the more eerier IOB tracks, it reminds me a bit of the Chainsmokers style, even teasing a drop in the choruses. LneL #68: Tom Budin & WHTKD - Bad Vibe 245K vFJgDNkhGKM [13/04/16] [18-12-10-9-13-13-15-16-32-35-33>11] A very good example of deep house here. Again it's quite repetitive, so it naturally falls out after 5 weeks. -----------------+250K +250K ------------------- #67: Rachel Platten - Stand By You (2015) 253K (+0K) (940K 2015) (1.193M Total) bwB9EMpW8eY [27/09/15] [20-4-6-23-1-1-3-3-2-2-1-4-4-6-5-5-93-15-16-15-19-17-13-13-12-11-10-10-13-13-22-23-31-32-32-34-37>41] A very big fave of mine in 2015 which carried into 2016 too :o As I said last year, this is such a stunning and underrated gem from Rachel, better than Fight Song too. Her vocals, and the video are just :wub: #66: Kill The Buzz feat. Katt Niall - Galaxies 253K l5zX4Wkk3Tg [06/04/16] [16-10-12-10-14-17-19-18-20-23-40-40>12] Mega up tempo instrumental in this :music: enjoyed it for a while, shame the vocals are a bit generic sounding however.

July 5, 20169 yr Author #65: Camikaze ft. Zoe A’dore - Shadows [iN CHART] 257K DMtww85LTCg [05/06/16] [6-4-4-33-7-...>7] Well I was pleasantly surprised to come across another melodic dubstep jam after Spirals! :yahoo: so it's no surprise to see it do so well here. #64: Adrian Lux - Torn Apart (Wildfire Remix) 258K uYenkmaur-w [24/04/16] [20-17-14-12-10-12-13-13-11-30>10] These vocals make me want to daydream when I shouldn't be :kink: accompanied with a bouncy production this remix is a pretty cool jam! Ouch at it falling out from #11 in one week though :lol: #63: PVRIS - Fire [iN CHART] 259K i1y0y1EDcHM [08/05/16] [19-17-19-26-26-33-27-19-21-23-29-23-24-22-27-...>15] One of the highlights from one of my fave albums this year, Fire was a later grower for me and it's managed to keep its stability here for a while now, possiby due to the fast tempo of the track and I love how Lynn passionately shouts her vocals too, pretty effective :music: #62: Lukas Graham - 7 Years 260K (+0K) jErJimwom94 [06/02/16] [21-19-15-11-11-9-13-16-22-27-37-33-39>13] One of the biggest chart hits of the year, and also a fairly sizable one here too. It's not dance at all but we've seen before that my faves don't always have to be :kink: such a sweet set of lyrics and his voice is excellent, story lyrics are the best tbh :heart: #61: Against The Current - Young & Relentless 262K n6fYUb-rWrk [29/05/16] [16-133-14-18-18-13-16-14>9] Thanks to this track, I may never have got into my favourite discovery artist of the year! If only I remembered where I got this one from, finding it on shuffle on my iPod and enjoying it made me remember there was an album thread for the band, so I listened to it and was slayed by it, so blame this track for the 13 odd slayages :P Edited July 5, 20169 yr by memebury.
July 5, 20169 yr Author #60: Trivecta ft. Danyka Nadeau - Into The Limelight 263K PZM5Z6F9szU [08/05/16] [27-23-18-15-17-18-21-12-20-32-31-26-31-31-39>15] The choruses seem to be more magical than the verses here but it's a pretty gripping song :music: #59: Eric Chase feat. Miche - I Can't Wait 263K (+4K) B-ShU1K4Tdc [17/02/16] [21-15-15-12-11-14-17-19-23-28-30-33-36-37>14] This song samples the same song that the top 10 hit from a few years ago Buzzin' by Mann also sampled it. It's a pretty catchy house track and a summer tune! ^_^ #58: Starix & Dogena - Heaven 264K RcEE8zoAo0o [24/02/16] [20-20-17-20-13-15-11-10-20-27-31-31-34>13] One of AirwaveMusicTV's best house tracks :wub: it's got that Jim Yosef type sound which I love, so uplifting! #57: G-Eazy & Bebe Rexha - Me, Myself & I (Lost Kings Remix) 264K (+0K) 2y43WsXJTyo [21/02/16] [18-14-8-7-5-6-10-17-31-33-38>11] The original was alright but one of my favourite remixers of late, Lost Kings has remixed a tropic house version of it and I particularly like the rap parts remixed. #56: Iggy Azalea - Team 269K KVGRN7Z7T1A [13/04/16] [31-33-18-17-18-15-26-22-18-15-15-23-23-37-36>15] A Fancy part 2 of sorts, and while I adored that it makes sense that this does well here also. Love the combination of weird production and Iggy's rapping :funky: Edited July 5, 20169 yr by memebury.
July 5, 20169 yr Author #55: Tinie Tempah feat. Zara Larsson - Girls Like 271K (+113K) OEiva3cMv6k [09/03/16] [25-21-15-15-17-19-17-22-22-21-20-15-33>13] Tinie gave us some good songs this year and last, with Not Letting Go and Turn the Music Louder, but I didn't love them as much as I usually do with his singes. This was an improvement from the last two which was great to see (or hear). Zara's vocals work so good here and the low pitched production too :dance: #54: The Chainsmokers ft. ROZES - Roses 271K (+226K) G5Mv2iV0wkU [27/03/16] [24-13-10-9-12-16-25-23-31-304-38-38-40-35-34-40>19] This wasn't instant for me, perhaps because I thought the vocals were a bit off but that definitely changed later on! Very dreamy to listen to and relax tbh #53: Era Istrefi - BonBon 271K (+170K) cedoBlUvBlI [20/03/16] [21-143-12-13-15-13-19-20-28-38>12] One of my biggest BJSC "not-sending-and-someone-else-taking-it" moments here. Naturally, Yehesi's *Tim sent the Rihanna-style vocalist and it's pretty darn catchy :rap: #52: Lost Kings ft. Katelyn Tarver - You (2015) 272K (+0K) (43K 2015) (315K Total) DAgGxPtC36Q [27/12/15] [20-19-13-12-12-11-11-12-11-12-18-26>12] One of Lost Kings' solo tracks now, this time with female vocals. Again he makes it sound lovely with those vocals and if only he was more recognised in the chart with his brilliant tropic house tunage :( #51: Against The Current - Forget Me Now [iN CHART] 273K gb2ZEzqHH2g [25/05/16] [31-14-10-12-10-12-14-12-12-10-...>10] Just missing the top 50 now is one of my bigger faves from their album. I keep changing my mind about which I love more, this or Runaway :thinking: anyhoo, the latter is still to come in my top 50!
July 5, 20169 yr Author #50: Against The Current - Runaway [iN CHART] 285K 6wDgMzYkrEU [25/05/16] [11-10-9-11-13-14-15-16-11-15-...>10] Just beating Forget Me Now to the top 50 is Runaway! Again, it's one of my faves from the album, and there's more to come! #49: Carly Rae Jepsen - Everywhere You Look 287K (+69K) 1NImu3Q9Qv4 [06/03/16] [22-15-13-8-6-6-13-27-24-25-26-28-33>13] This track was recorded for a TV show, called Fuller House for the main theme. As Carly is one of my fave artists it's not surprising to see it slay here, even if the verses are quite cheesy sounding (but not surprising tbh!) it's also a quick faller because of this. #48: Phoebe Ryan - Chronic [iN CHART] 290K 2pPozfpsUhk [18/05/16] [24-13-14-16-16-18-16-19-20-19-15-12-...>12] My 12/18 pointer a couple of BJSC contests ago, it's great to see Mulgracia are getting my full support once again with this brilliant catchy track with great use of guitaré electronicá :wub: #47: Justin Bieber - Love Yourself (Baumann Remix) (2015) 293K (+0K) (126K 2015) (419K Total) rfZJBFFTXzw [20/12/15] [14-11-7-6-8-7-6-6-9-9-12-20-23-30-29-40>16] The original of this is pretty good however this tropic house remix of it is insane :dance: #46: Sigala - Sweet Lovin' (2015) 294K (+0K) (436K 2015) (730K Total) qj5zT4t7S6c [18/11/15] [17-10-7-8-7-7-6-7-6-53-7-10-14-15-17-18-19-29-35-40-39-38-26-26-24-27-33-24-25-35-40-34-40>35] Sigala's follow up to the smash #1 hit Easy Love is just as brilliant, or even better! Its vocals remind me of the vocals in Duke Dumont's Won't Look Back which I also loved :music:
July 5, 20169 yr Author #45: Cash Cash - Surrender 306K (+43K) 7Vi578l61V4 [17/02/16] [26-22-16-19-8-8-9-14-27-34-32-25-30-30-30-34-32-38-39>19] The follow up to the amazing Take Me Home! I was late to the party with this one but eventually got around to listening to it :wub: #44: KSHMR & Marnik - Bazaar 316K (+0K) KlJAiwwGHMg [10/01/16] [25-16-12-11-9-14-16-14-9-9-18-28-36>13] The producing of this sounds so well refined *.* and the just as amazing video goes so well with it too. KSHMR is pretty good at delivering the tunes :music: and there's more where that came from too. #43: Danny L Harle - Forever 316K (+0K) 8WWosQ2DHw0 [24/01/16] [13-6-4-4-5-10-8-7-25-37-36-31-31>13] Following Broken Flowers is Forever which has instead a high pitched female vocal and a song you'd probably expect to hear in an anime cartoon :kink: it's still got the general repetition thing going on here which is a shame, but it's beautiful all the same ^_^ #42: Kygo ft. Maty Noyes - Stay (2015) 319K (+0K) (159K 2015) (478K Total) z9porfO8C_Q [20/12/15] [20-18-16-14-11-8-5-6-8-12-15-22-37-30-28-27-26-21-22-23-31-29-29-37>24] Kygo keeps his signature sound in this but he uses these female vocals pretty well here. As usual, Kygo's follow ups often start a bit low, climb up for a while and then go moderately quickly, then stick around a bit :') #41: Manse feat. Alice Berg - Freeze Time 327K (+0K) GXnE2P-d3FQ [17/01/16] [4-3-2-3-5-15-143-18-32>11] Just missing top 40 is one of my BJSC entries of this year. It was 2nd to last in the semis :nocheer: I personally think the vocals in this are LOVELY :heart: if there's any criticism I would say the drop was a tad overwhelming, but still, Buzzjack, this deserved better in the contest :cry:
July 8, 20169 yr Author We're getting rid of a lot of the last three Against the Current songs in this bit all at once :heehee: #40: Against The Current - Outsiders [iN CHART] 346K U58y6axpS-E [29/05/16] [6-33-23-13-...>9] Woop! I get to rank my current #1, which has been at the summit for over 2 weeks now, just in the top 40! :cheer: It's such a powerful anthem and despite two ATC songs finishing above it (but counting the fact that this debuted half a week later) the three songs were very close! I'm still angry at myself for totally ignoring this in BJSC, lol. Shame it wasn't on the album, but the album slayed me a lot even so. I so hope they play this live despite tbh. #39: Against The Current - In Our Bones 348K 8co0mecbwfg [25/05/16] [20-6-4-4-5-5-4-4-6-4-...>10] Aw, this is probably the sweetest sounding track from ATC and it is also my favourite track on the album, which might sound a bit wierd but I'm a sucker for this kind of music occasionally if it's done really well, particularly with strong vocals like this. :heart: It's also not often where the title track of an album is my favourite, or even one of the stronger songs on the album in general. Which is odd, really. #38: Against The Current - Brighter 352K XRDdK4ByD9w [25/05/16] [5-7-6-5-63-7-5-5-...>10] What was initially my favourite upon hearing the album the first few times, this sounds like such a strong track from both vocal and production aspects and I also think my stanning for this is helped by its comparisons to Rachel Platten's Stand By You (which may or may not be to come :kink: ) #37: Sigala ft. Imani, DJ Fresh - Say You Do 354K (+0K) F2QZKV3oRaU [31/01/16] [15-9-11-11-12-16-20-21-31-26-16-15-12-23-28-35-34-39>17] Sigala's third single, which isn't as strong as his first two but nonetheless it still impacts my top 10 briefly and makes a dent in my top 40 EOY so far. It uses a good set of vocals together with his usual tropic house sound :heart: and it's got one of my other faves DJ Fresh in it too! #36: PVRIS - St. Patrick 355K j2SWk859CEU [08/05/16] [8-5-10-7-9-12-18-21-25-27-25-22-28-28-35-...>15] Another BJSC slayer we have is also a winning entry from February last year, which I also overlooked at the time until it was played on plug.dj a lot and I grew into it (but I didn't listen to their album/other songs until later on when Lindsey posted the Deluxe album thread). I defintely see why this won, it's a great example of a female fronted rock tune that appeals to many even outside of rock!
July 8, 20169 yr Author #35: Different Heaven - Nekozilla (2015) 358K (+0K) (32K 2015) (390K Total) 6FNHe3kf8_s [27/12/15] [23-27-26-27-31-26-24-23-23-25-22-18-15-12-9-10-7-18-33-35-39-39>22] A discovery from big electro channel No Copyright Sounds, such a banging instrumental and it's such a fun track to listen to as well. I later came across OMG which I sent to BJSC earlier this year, and it DNQd :( although as you can tell from my revealing of it earlier, I might have done better sending this one instead, which I also love more than that! #34: Chelsea Lankes - Home 374K (+298K) BJ0iucWN0xk [23/03/16] [15-17-15-13-10-9-7-6-8-11-12-10-26>13] Haha, BJSC teas again :P I had this as a potential for a while but kept putting it off. Only until I was doing BJSC stats did I realise that Beaverdonia sent it in a semi before! It DNQd unfortunately, and I didn't point it :| #33: Danny L Harle - Broken Flowers (2015) 379K (+0K) (266K 2015) (645k Total) OwpP6gNiIWE [09/12/15] [9-4-3-1-1-2-1-23-4-8-10-7-22-13-20-25-24-29-36-37-36>23] This kind of reminds me of sugar, in sound form, if that makes sense? :lol: It's also such a fun track too and I've not really heard anything like it :o Forever was a pretty good sequel to this but this was quite the discovery *.* #32: Kygo ft. Kodaline - Raging 385K ZWyktWYW3ZM [06/04/16] [38-22-14-9-9-6-5-5-6-12-10-16-16-21>14] 385K It's another averagy Kygo track but I can't help but fall in love with it again :kink: I wouldn't expect a Kygo and Kodaline collab to work well in writing but it does work pretty well after all, so well done guys :D #31: PVRIS - Holy [iN CHART] 391K ktgKzlJ1EiU [04/05/16] [11-8-7-5-5-8-11-15-15-18-23-24-23-19-32-...>17] Missing the top 30 is another PVRIS track and one of my faves (my fave to come and one final PVRIS track) from the album. I particularly love the repetition of the line "poor unfortunate soul" and again the power in Lynn's vocals is brilliant :dance:
July 10, 20169 yr Author #30: Galantis - Peanut Butter Jelly (2015) 398K (+0K) (5K 2015) (403K Total) 4jBDnYE1WjI [09/06/15] [38-39-x58-7-5-6-6-8-9-9-6-7-13-24-23-29-25-40>17] The follow up to the incredible Runaway, I liked it a fair bit for a while but 29(!) weeks later I decided to relisten and rechart it and it became quite a hit here :o the production is incredibly fun and full of jam :music: #29: SNBRN x Shaun Frank x Dr. Fresch - The New Order 393K (+9K) m2EPwGkp3ug [14/02/16] [20-15-15-10-7-3-5-4-5-8-16-32-27-26-29-32>15] Another fave follow up, coming after the tropical Raindrops BJSC entry winner from Daehun, this actuall sounds very different but the underground deep house in here is particularly stunning and the vocal pitch range is done really well. #28: The Flavor - Shosholoza [iN CHART] 405K XLFPo9WkGec [18/05/16] [27-14-4-23-3-3-5-6-10-9-...>12] A foreign BJSC entry sent my dance bloc member Vulkyria, which some predicted to win especially with comparisons from the major hit over 10 years ago Sunchyme by Dario G. #27: Diviners ft. Philly K - Savannah (2015) 410K (+0K) (377K 2015) (787K Total) etLx_vM-tEo [02/12/15] [3-2-3-3-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-9-9-17-24-17-18-19-17-20-18-13-14-30-31-37-36-32>28] Tropic Love fame which was also entered in BJSC over a year ago have returned in Savannah which has similar sounds and again it's just incredible. :wub: #26: Jasmine Thompson - Great Escape 417K (+0K) M8Vfb868E1s [03/02/16] [12-8-6-34-5-7-9-11-18-31-38>14] My looning of Jasmine a few months ago is shown here just missing the top 20. Her vocals really shine in this one and the progression works so well, if only her songs like this with less dance appeal were just as recognised! Edited July 10, 20169 yr by memebury.
