Jess Glynne) - My Love 154 42 NE 13 George Ezra - Budapest 160 41 NE 7 Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne - Real Love 160 40 49 6 Zhu - Faded 162 39 21 - Mr. Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix) 172 38 33 - FAUL & Wad Ad vs. PNAU - Changes 174 37 32 - Little Mix - Salute 175 36 NE 12 Calvin Harris (feat. Ellie Goulding) - Outside 177 All but one of the new entries goes straight back out, along with most of the other qualifiers, all normal. The ones that aren't qualifiers are interesting, last year's ~indie-pop~ rep FKA Twigs falls out with her best song, along with a few others that barely made the cut last time. Waves is probably the highest profile casualty, five points before Outside comes within a point of getting to next year. 35 29 - Idina Menzel - Let It Go 178 34 22 - Ariana Grande (feat. The Weeknd) - Love Me Harder 180 33 35 - Magician (feat. Years & Years) - Sunlight 181 32 26 - HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind 183 31 28 - Neon Jungle - Braveheart 189 30 36 3 Coldplay - A Sky Full Of Stars 191 29 40 21 Ten Walls - Walking With Elephants 193 28 23 - Sigma - Nobody To Love 196 27 17 - Tinashe (feat. Schoolboy Q) - 2 On 200 26 18 - Pitbull (feat. Kesha) - Timber 201 25 NE 18 Kasabian - Eez-Eh 203 24 16 - Beyoncé - XO 204 23 48 20 Wankelmut & Emma Louise - My Head Is A Jungle 204 22 52 10 Lana Del Rey - West Coast 205 21 41 2 Duke Dumont (feat. Jax Jones) - I Got U 208 20 27 - Lorde - Team 221 19 6 - Rita Ora - I Will Never Let You Down 226 18 20 - Tove Lo - Stay High (Habits) [Hippie Sabotage Remix] 227 17 14 - Lilly Wood And The Prick - Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix) 230 16 42 1 Oliver Heldens & Becky Hill - Gecko (Overdrive) 240 Let It Go haters nearly disposed of the wonderful Idina but she's held on and will AQ for the second year in a row. Up with Frozen :D Only two dropouts from last year's top 15 overall though, making this quite a static year on the downward movement unless you're Rita Ora. Upwardly though, we have quite a few interesting playoff qualifiers, the wonderfully different chart hits of Walking With Elephants and Eez-Eh securing some AQs that look really weird actually, along with some more usual ones from Lana Del Rey, a track that always screams 'dancefloor filler' in My Head Is A Jungle (I mean that in a rather kind way for me), and the top 3 of the first round, I Got U, A Sky Full Of Stars and the dance track that shall not be named. That was actually quite far off the top 15, they're well ahead of the rest. 15 9 - Ariana Grande (feat. Zedd) - Break Free 267 14 25 - Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This 280 13 15 - Charli XCX - Boom Clap 286 12 10 - Beyoncé (feat. Jay-Z) - Drunk In Love 294 11 19 - Kiesza - Hideaway 295 10 13 - Katy Perry (feat. Juicy J) - Dark Horse 299 9 12 - Taylor Swift - Shake It Off 307 8 4 - G.R.L - Ugly Heart 311 7 3 - Taylor Swift - Blank Space 316 6 11 - Iggy Azalea (feat. Charli XCX) - Fancy 323 Paloma and Kiesza are the new faces, otherwise it's just a load of shuffling around although Blank Space and Ugly Heart aren't sure things for the final anymore. 5 7 - Sia - Chandelier 344 4 1 - Ella Henderson - Ghost 382 3 8 - Ariana Grande (feat. Iggy Azalea) - Problem 384 2 2 - Katy B - Crying For No Reason 407 1 5 - Clean Bandit (feat. Jess Glynne) - Rather Be 412 Now up at the top, we have Chandelier and Problem taking their place, no real surprises as I expected those two to be leading the pack last year. For the winner, Crying For No Reason was winning this almost all of the way through, with Problem taking it a few times, but in the end, on the last vote, one of the biggest and most universally loved tracks of the year, Clean Bandit's breakout single Rather Be storms to the victory I always imagined it'd have easy in 2014's round. This certainly wasn't a walkover though.
August 19, 20168 yr EEEEZ-EHHH *.* never thought Buzzjack actually liked that one but a AQ for it is great to see! Sunlight & Let It Go still AQs <333
August 19, 20168 yr 'Ready For Your Love' (my +25!) being second last is just despicable, BuzzJack. 'Rather Be' is a brilliant winner of that round at least. :heart:
