January 2, 20178 yr Finally caught up on this thread! I never liked New Romantics at all until this year when it was a single. It was one of the weakest songs on 1989 but actually sounded great on the radio! Drone is somewhere in my top 20 BJSC entries from this year! I almost broke my iPod when I listened to it while I was on my bike, I was all alone riding through a park just before sunset and it was at that part after the second chorus where it builds up and I was like "omg this is the most perfect moment *.*" because it felt like being in a music video, and I was seconds away from the BEST part of the song when I dropped my iPod on the ground so of course the song stopped and the perfect moment was ruined :nocheer: :rofl: I swear that's a true story!!!!! Your impact :wub:
January 2, 20178 yr Author #141-#150 all edited in! :wub: Will be replying to comments right now & maybe another section coming later today, need to do 3 practise papers for mocks though so not sure I'll have time!
January 2, 20178 yr Author Pretty good Meghan list there, we share a few tracks there! I think my top 5 would mainly be singles too! 01 LIPS ARE MOVIN 02 DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND 03 BETTER WHEN IM DANCIN 04 NO 05 TITLE For me :wub: she's great though :D Thanks Josh :wub: Those are definitely all in my top 10! She is really so fabulous & underrated :heart: And glad to see we have pretty similar top 5's! The Life is decent. Probably would have been the next single if Camila stayed in the group. Nobody Like You - The whole album is 10/10 for me. Lovely song. Wildest Dreams - Did like this last year but I don't think I've listened to it once this year. The Greatest - Sia's best song of all-time for me now. Thanks Lewis :wub: Probably! It would have to have been that or 'Not That Kind Of Girl' for me <3 Agreed with Glory Days being 10/10, NLY is so lovely! <3 Ahh that's a shame :( Hopefully you'll listen to it again soon! Really like it but its not even in my top 5 Sia songs of 2016 let alone my favourite oops! "All My Friends" is a jam but I may have overplayed it in my personal opinion, it should have smashed worldwide tho Thanks Cody <3 Ooh I'm quite surprised it didn't smash worldwide!! Kind of presumed it did as haven't really followed any charts bar UK (and even UK lot less than usual!) this year! I think I love it so much still as I kind of avoided overplaying it at the time!

Gwen Stefani- Make Me Like You 147,150 | 7-14-24-48-X This was great but ended up falling similarly quickly out of my chart :( Fantastic stuff :heart: Thanks Joseph <3 141. I think you'd enjoy it! Only track she's done so far but her new single is out next week! 163. Literally all 4 of their singles are equal for me! I'd probs choose Peanut Butter Jelly if I had to choose one! 167. Same tbh! It just got caught up in such a busy October/November period that it just flung down the charts! (Same with Zara- I Would Like which is coming up v. shortly but that is now zooming towards the top 10 this week so Rockabye may recover!) 176. It deserves to be higher! Laura Tesco just couldn't get copies to shift in Ultraviolenceland, they were too busy shifting Nadine's album still to be able to sell Laura's single :P 181. Same <3 Trying to do the impossible and do a top 5! Shake It Off>Mine>Enchanted>All Too Well>Wildest Dreams>You Belong With Me! So I think it just sneaks in my top 5 but this changes daily tbh!!!! <3 200. It literally had no staying power for either of us at all!! :kink: Hi UV, From the recent sections 142 is easily one of my favourite songs of the year such a good hands in the air party moment :heart: 144. I love this not as much as PBJ and Runway but its close :heart: 145. I expected you to love this more tbh :( 147. One of my favourite album tracks by them :heart: 152. EASILY your best entry for me :heart: 153. I actually watched the movie in full recently loved it very feel good animation and Sharkira slayed that song! 161. I thought this should have been a single tbh :( 163. There worst for me oops :( still great though 167. Still love this SO SO SO much :heart: 169. This will always be a underrated Rihanna single for me :( Thanks Harry! 144. Same! 145. Same tbh as well :( Don't know why it never fully clicked with me! 152. <3 153. Yasss at Zootropolis stanning *.* 169. Same :( Still can't believe it didn't smash! Shattered, Lost and TESCO! Thanks Cami Li <3 Knew you'd love all 3 and Tesco made it in at the last second *.* *.* <3 Some beautiful songs. Wildest Dreams is incredible :wub: Thanks Seltin <3 Glad your loving Wildest Dreams, definitely one of my favourite Taylor tracks ever <3
January 2, 20178 yr Author 200-140 (from what I've heard): Breathing Underwater [9.0] This, Hurts and Garden are my favourites from LLTA Still [7.0] A-Yo [7.5] Need to listen to Joanne, because I used to listen to Gaga quite a lot in '10 and '11 and I even played Lady Gaga Revenge and Born This Way Revenge on my iPod back in the day. Take You To Heaven [7.0] U-Turn [8.5] Hey, this sounds a bit like 80's! I remember getting Closer as a free single of the week from iTunes (RIP Single Of The Week 2004-2014) and admiring its 80's synth vibes Walk On Water [9.0] One of my favourites from Eurovision 2k16. Fast Car [6.0] Jonas did better with Perfect Strangers and By Your Side Sweet Lovin' [8.5] I like Sigala. Unforgettable [7.0] Underneath The Tree [8.0] You're Welcome [8.0] Need to see Moana someday What's The Pressure [9.0] Reminds me of Fleur East's Sax Sing Me To Sleep [8.5] The instrumental verson of Faded was used in a fan-made Geometry Dash level once Boyfriend [7.5] Make Me (Cry) [6.0] Managed to hear this after it got featured on CodySlayberry's 2017 batch in his year end post. It's okay imo. One Day I'll Fly Away [8.0] Dat doge bouncing on dis tramp in the John Lewis ad. :heart: Love On The Brain [6.0] Rockabye [10.0] This has been hanging around in my Top 3 for loads of weeks now, kept off number one by Leonard Cohen's You Want It Darker and Greg Lake's I Believe In Father Christmas. Good Grief [10.0] This and Send Me Off are my favourites from Wild World Love On Me [8.0] I like Galantis Oasis [7.5] Kygo - Oasis, What's next? Martin Garrix - Blur? :kink: I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday [10.0] Really good Christmas jam. "And the snowman brings the snow" All We Know [5.5] Smokechainers & Smainchokers feat. Halya RyZES - Don't Let Me Know Closer (#LETMETAKEAROSIES) What Is Love [6.5] The original Haddaway version was better imo Sledgehammer [7.0] Would you rather? Rihanna's Sledgehammer, 5H's Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, or gain the ability to use Thor's sledgehammer Try Everything [8.0] I love Zootropolis. Drone [6.5] Better When I'm Dancin' [6.0] Dilute This [8.0] Nimmo's quite good Touch [4.5] I quite prefer Do It Again Kiss It Better [5.0] The Greatest [8.0] I got stamina! Speaking of Sia, I stumbled upon this Sia acid jazz song from 1995 on YouTube Sia Acid Jazz No Money [8.5] All My Friends [6.5] Oh, and the 141-150 has the same commentary as 151-160 Thanks Dalek <3 My laptop stopped working so didn't have time to do commentary + formatting for 141-150, its all up now though! <3 I prefer Touch to Do It Again but the former is definitely too high here! Yasss at Zootropolis <3 Hope to see you voting in the Buzzjack Movie Awards coming up soon! <3 5H's Sledgehammer>Thor's Sledgehammer>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rihanna's Sledgehammer>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer I love the Haddaway version but I think I prefer the Kiesza one! Yassss at Rockabye slaying your chart & more people being reminded of Sax after hearing Laura Tesco *.* Definitely recommend seeing Moana, it is incredible! Agree with you about Jonas Blue so oops at Fast Car being the one to appear! Though By Your Side is about to start taking off in my chart! Definitely recommend Joanne also, one of the best albums of the year! <3 I miss iTunes free single of the week so much :( Made me discover so many artists! The biggest for me being Emma Stevens & Lauren Aquilina and made me interested in all the stuff they've released since then, and now the latter has scored one of the biggest hits of the year in my charts this year! <3 Finally caught up on this thread! I never liked New Romantics at all until this year when it was a single. It was one of the weakest songs on 1989 but actually sounded great on the radio! Drone is somewhere in my top 20 BJSC entries from this year! I almost broke my iPod when I listened to it while I was on my bike, I was all alone riding through a park just before sunset and it was at that part after the second chorus where it builds up and I was like "omg this is the most perfect moment *.*" because it felt like being in a music video, and I was seconds away from the BEST part of the song when I dropped my iPod on the ground so of course the song stopped and the perfect moment was ruined :nocheer: :rofl: I swear that's a true story!!!!! Your impact :wub: Thanks Riser <3 Would have loved to have heard New Romantics on the radio! :( Can't remember them playing it at all here! Yassss at it growing on you though! <3 OMG :rofl: :rofl: That is incredible!!!!!!! Well apart from dropping your iPod! Yassssss at Drone stanning though, glad to see you loved it & what impact its had *.* <3 :wub:
January 2, 20178 yr Author Singles #131-#140: E.g. the non top 10 hits section! (Only 1 song here has gone top 10 so far!) So I hope you have, have a lovely night With your video games and your excuses opGJR_dBEvY http://i64.tinypic.com/nqybma.jpghttp://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/Cover%20Sleeves/Zara%20Larsson%20-%20I%20Would%20Like.pnghttp://i67.tinypic.com/2dbv4hh.pnghttp://i67.tinypic.com/2qibkms.jpghttp://i66.tinypic.com/c2el1.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/2quloh0.pnghttp://i64.tinypic.com/2ebaaoh.jpghttp://i67.tinypic.com/2jb8pd3.jpghttp://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/Cover%20Sleeves/Alicia%20Keys%20-%20Blended%20Family.pnghttp://i67.tinypic.com/2463lt4.jpg 131. Stevie Wonder ft. Ariana Grande- Faith 292,820 | 37-32-36-34-36-34-43-X 132. Zara Larsson- I Would Like 292,510 | 16-27-36-27-31-40-46-.... 133. M.O. ft. Kent Jones- Not In Love 289,870 | 2-11-25-.... 134. Aurora- Conqueror 289,320 | 31-21-37-27-17-28-36-39-41-39-46-X 135. Idina Menzel- Queen Of Swords 287,880 | 12-14-22-25-33-30-32-41-46-X 136. Sam Bailey- Sing My Heart Out 283,020 | 17-19-26-30-30-31-29-31-43-X 137. Dami Im- Fighting For Love 282,360 | 13-17-20-25-30-30-40-X 138. Shura- What's It Gonna Be 279,940 | 21-13-11-11-22-30-39-43-X 139. Alicia Keys ft. Asap Rocky- Blended Family 278,000 | 19-17-18-18-25-33-47-X 140. Miranda Lambert- Keeper Of The Flame 272,280 | 36-33-37-46-42-49-48-53-43-.... Keeper Of The Flame: Kicking off the top 140 is Miranda's follow-up single to her breakout hit here 'Vice', Keeper Of The Flame which has shifted over 270k already despite missing out on the top 30! The song has spent 8 weeks top 50 so far & is currently set to reach a new peak this week as it leaps into the the lower half of the top 30 in the chart update! I love this song & look for it to be big in my charts next year <3 Blended Family: BF was a really nice track but wasn't too much more than that so wouldn't have this any higher than this personally as well! Best thing Alicia has done for a while & its nice to have another song- like Rockabye earlier on- with a beautiful message in the song. Blended Family peaked at #17 and spent 4 weeks top 20, before falling down the charts quickly with even an impressive X-Factor performance failing to stabilise it! What's It Gonna Be: Shura's first chart hit shifted just under 280k here and spetn 8 weeks top 40 here, 3 of them in the top 13! THe song peaked at #11 for two weeks, which even though it may seem really unlucky, it was nowhere near cracking the top 10 on EITHER of the two weeks and was pretty lucky to spend 2 weeks that high! (I think she missed top 10 by +10k sales on both weeks). Definitely my favourite Shura song yet & the track has a fabulous video and is such a catchy song <3 Fighting For Love: DAMI *.* After her massive hit earlier in the year with 'Sound Of Silence' (which'll of course appear later!), she followed it up this October with Sweden produced banger 'Fighting For Love'. The song shot straight into its peak of #13 in week 1 and spent 3 weeks top 20 & 7 weeks top 50! This is just a typically great track that you'd expect from Dami & one which you repeatedly go back to listen to, such a great track! Sing My Heart Out: Sam Bailey came out of nowhere to score a pretty big hit in my chart. I decided to give Sing My Heart Out a listen when I got back from holiday & surprisingly loved it, utterly fantastic & beautiful ballad & her best song yet, I think if she released this after she won the show she could have scored a minor hit with this! The song debuted at #17 & had great longevity in the chart, spending 9 weeks top 50 and amassing sales of nearly 300k! Queen Of Swords: QUEEN IDINA *.* The first of Idina's entries this year comes from 2nd instant grat Queen Of Swords! (Perfect Story, Small World, Making Today A Perfect Day & Baby It's Cold Outside fell short by a bit while LET IT GO nearly MADE IT AGAIN but had to settle for a position in the top 215 again!). Anyway back to Queen Of Swords, typical Idina slayage ballad, especially that Let It Go reminiscent note towards the end of the track *.* Epic power ballad! The song peaked at #12 and held well & stuck around for 9 weeks! Conqueror: Oops haven't gone back to this too much at all, pretty impressive though that it nearly outsold Half The World Away though! (Was only just over 20k short of catching it!). Conqueror was definitely my highlight from Aurora's album and the chorus makes the song a hell of a ride *.* The song also was a big success in my charts, taking a few weeks to reach its peak of #17 (after looking likely it was all over by week 3 after failing 16 places to stay just inside the top 40!) and held around for a great 11 weeks! Not In Love: And our only top 10 hit in this section comes from a song which hit a peak of #2 a mere 3 weeks ago! Not In Love was instant love for me, from catchy verses & a killer chorus to great lyrics & a rap verse that actually adds something to a song, I really hope this can be another chart hit for them in the new year! Not In Love shot into #2 but the killer competition of Christmas + End of 2016 boosting all the old tracks has seen this plummet to just inside the top 25 within 2 weeks! It is starting to recover now and is just outside the top 15 in this weeks chart update! Not In Love is M.O.'s highest peaker & their 2nd top 10 hit after Preach! (And of course their biggest selling song BY MILES is the one that missed the top 10, which is of course Who Do You Think Of!) I Would Like: Zara's latest track (and now her highest peaking song in the UK!) has been making slow but steady waves in my charts over the last few weeks! The song debuted at #16 in a busy week and has held around for 7 weeks in the top 50 so far! This probably would have gone top 10 on opening week but its status as instant grat saw it unable to top some songs which were selling bucketloads! However watch out for a new peak this year as the song storms up to #11 in this weeks chart update & could easily become her 5th (?) top 10 hit by Friday! Such a great anthem & another pop masterclass from Zara *.* Faith: And just missing the top 130 is another song which hasn't finished its chart run yet! Stevie Wonder & Ariana Grande's 'Faith' from the movie 'Sing'- one of my most anticipated films of 2017! (Plug time: GO VOTE IN MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIES 2017 + BEST MOVIE SONG 2016!!! xx Anyone who does will get an EOY comment by the end of tomorrow xx Plugging finished!) . Faith is just a perfect pop song for an animated film; short, fun & enjoyable tune which is always fun to listen to! Like Keeper Of The Flame at the start of this section, Faith has also nearly sold 300k while never reaching the top 30! Faith so far has a peak of #32 and spent 7 weeks top 50- 6 of them between 32-37 and could easily re-peak in the new year when the release of Sing will impact my chart! <3
January 3, 20178 yr Sing My Heart Out & I ould Like are amazing :D Fighting For Love was a great follow-up to Dami Im's Eurovision performance!
January 3, 20178 yr I Would Like and Not In Love are fantastic :wub: really hope the latter can become a hit like Who Do You Think Of? was! Blended Family was also by far the best thing on Alicia's last album for me.
January 4, 20178 yr I Would Like is such a jam now I am so glad it was chosen as a single as it is such a great feel good dance song LOVE IT *.* Not In Love is great too in fact I really prefer it to Who Do You Think Of? atm :D What's It Gonna Be is such a great song glad it is here because I love it and the video so much :heart: Aurora and Alicia Keys is also great!!
January 4, 20178 yr A lot of very good charts in this countdown so far, especially Sweet Lovin & Fast Car right back at the start! From your last batch I'm really liking I Would Like atm, good to see it performing so well officially.
January 4, 20178 yr Hi Sam I agree with you that Blended Family is a nice little track but not really anything special. Still, I would have loved it if both this and In Common were hits of some sort and didn't completely flop, they're both nice tracks and she seems to have just fallen off the map this era. The album was so boring though so didn't mind that flopping :lol: Conqueror seems really under--rated on here so yay for another fan. I took more notice of her after the John Lewis track and though both this and I Went Too Far were really catchy tracks, a shame she hasn't been able to break through into the mainstream yet :( I am absolutely adoring Not In Love at the moment too, I didn't think they'd be able to top WDYTO but I think they may have done it already, it's just hook after hook and it's all so infectious. I hope this can catch on with the public like WDYTO did unexpectedly too! :wub:
January 4, 20178 yr I Would Like is very good but still one of the weaker Zara singles for me. Faith is also nice but hasn't clicked fully with me yet.
January 5, 20178 yr Blended Family [8.5] Keys + A$AP. (Thumbs up) Plus I really enjoyed A$AP's collab with Mura Musa. What's It Gonna Be [10.0] Love the 80's style synths in this song, and the more I heard it in my local record store, the more I liked it. Conqueror [8.5] Reminds me of Florence + The Machine a bit. Not In Love [5.5] I like Preach, but I don't remember Who Do You Think Of I Would Like [6.0] Enjoyed Never Forget You and Lush Life. Ain't My Fault meh, but my opinion on I Would Like may change once I hear more of it. Faith [8.5] Really liking this. I like a lot of Stevie's stuff (Higher Ground [before RHCP made a famous cover of it in 1989], I Just Called To Say I Love You, Sir Duke, Superstition, Part-Time Lover, Happy Birthday).
January 7, 20178 yr Author #121-#130 upcoming in the next half hour or so! Sing My Heart Out & I ould Like are amazing :D Fighting For Love was a great follow-up to Dami Im's Eurovision performance!

From your last batch I'm really liking I Would Like atm, good to see it performing so well officially. Thanks Dobbo!

I hope this can catch on with the public like WDYTO did unexpectedly too! :wub: Thanks Josh! Yeah I also wish Alicia was doing bigger in the charts this era :( Same, she came on my radar afer John Lewis & wish either of those broke through! Not In Love really is incredible <3 I Would Like is very good but still one of the weaker Zara singles for me. Faith is also nice but hasn't clicked fully with me yet. Thanks Robin! I Would Like is probs in the middle of Zara's singles for me & hopefully Faith will click soon for you! <3 Blended Family [8.5] Keys + A$AP.

Ain't My Fault meh, but my opinion on I Would Like may change once I hear more of it. Faith [8.5] Really liking this. I like a lot of Stevie's stuff (Higher Ground [before RHCP made a famous cover of it in 1989], I Just Called To Say I Love You, Sir Duke, Superstition, Part-Time Lover, Happy Birthday). Thanks Dalek! Not heard the Mura Musa collab & the Florence Conqueror comparison makes so much sense actually, never thought of that! Superstition <3

G-Eazy- You Don't Own Me 296,430 (757,150) | ....--2-8-17-27-29-38-X You Don't Own Me: Kicking off the top 30 we have Grace's debut hit You Don't Own Me, which spent another week (its 3rd in total) at its peak of #2 as it got stuck behind Love Me Like You again! However I ended up going from adoring this to getting incredibly bored within a few weeks which saw it only manage to pick up 5 more weeks top 40 after it fell from its peak of #2!! Nowadays I like the song a lot more again though I don't love it as much as I did in the Winter of 2015! Lil Love: Most WTF this was a 2016 song moment? Yeah probably, I was convinced this was 2015 so was shocked to see this pop up here, and pop so high too (and it made my Spotify top 100 as well out of nowhere!). It's a good song but I haven't gone back to it at all over the 2nd half of 2016. Anyway the song racked up 9 weeks top 40 with a #15 peak, becoming both Petite Meller's & Pnau's 2nd top 15 hit each! Castle: Halsey's highest peaking solo song is also her first solo hit to fall out as #9 hits New Americana & Ghost have topped her #6 hit Castle! Castle is the first song to sell +300k and scored two weeks in the top 10 & 8 weeks top 50! The song originally entered my chart based on me choosing it as an 'Ultraviolenceland single' as it was my favourite album track off the album but then the Huntsman's Winters' War version appeared out of nowhere about a week later which saw the song split it sales between the 2 versions & nearly crack the top 5! I really like both versions & this is fabulous <3 Kicks: The start of what was going to end up being a surprisingly gigantic year for Lauren! Kicks was her biggest hit in a while at the time & made up for previous flop Echoes (which limped at #39 for one week) and spent 10 weeks top 50 while sneaking a top 20 peak! I love Kicks & it is definitely one of my favourite tracks from Lauren! One More Sleep/All I Want For Christmas Is You: The Christmas Queens end side by side *.* Mariah failed to outsell her total from last year but Leona beat her 2015 total by 25k! However both fall out of the top 100 due to higher sales all around this year! I think I've made my thoughts clear on these Christmas classics around the forum & they are my 2 favourite Christmas tracks! AIWFCIY reached the same peak it scored in 2015 while Leona reached a new high at #2 with One More Sleep, which is probably an all-new peak for her as I doubt she would have cracked the top 2 had I had a chart in 2013 due to Lily Allen invasion followed directly by Idina/Frozen invasion! 125th: See above Girls Like: This is an anthem *.* One of Tinie's best in a while & Zara slays on this, her chorus is fab and such an earworm *.* The song shot straight into the top 3 in a busy week and hung around for 7 weeks! A lil fact for y'all, all 5 of Zara's singles have become top 3 hits and she is still without a #1 hit!! I much prefer the radio edit version of this, it just flows so much better than that useless and quite offputting ending on the original! Forget Me Now: Definitely my favourite ATC track yet! Forget Me Now is another rock anthem & turned into a big hit here! The song spent 5 weeks between 35-45 before finally taking off when the album was released, seeing it shoot into the top 20 to a peak of #17! The song spent 12 weeks top 50 in total & is a really fab track! On Purpose: Sabrina finally scored her 1st biggish hit on my chart here (though 'Thumbs'- which is still to come- would eclipse it just a month later!) with fabulous mid-tempo 'On Purpose'! The song was immediately my favourite thing Sabrina had done on first listen & the song was eventually entered into BJSC the next month! On Purpose spent 9 weeks top 50 & scored Sabrina her first top 10 hit at #7! Slow Down: Douwe *.* Definitely one of my crushes of the year *.* As the lot of you who watched the Eurovision Semi's on Rabbit with me realised I was stanning the song more than just for the song itself :kink: Anyway to the actual song, 'Slow Down' is a fab country-pop track and my 2nd favourite from Eurovision this year so it was fab to see it qualify to the final! The song was a hit in my charts, spending 6 weeks in the top 10 and peaked at #2- just like previous Netherlands entry 'Calm After The Storm' 2 years ago! Both songs were held off the top by other Eurovision tracks, CATS was beaten by 'Children Of The Universe' & Slow Down was eclipsed by Dami Im's 'Sound Of Silence' <3
January 7, 20178 yr Zara Larsson making appearances yass. I Would Like is such a jam and Girls Like was great also. Lil Love was great too, very underrated on this forum.
January 7, 20178 yr You Don't Own Me get boring quickly for me. I enjoyed it at the time though. Girls Like is Tinie's best in ages. Zara certainly steals the track :wub: One More Sleep is a cool Christmas song as well. :D
January 7, 20178 yr All I Want For Christmas Is You is a CLASSIC of course, never fails to put a huge smile on my face :wub: Loving On Purpose, You Don't Own Me and Girls Like too! Kicks is decent but I think it's one of my least favourites from Lauren's album :(
