January 4, 20178 yr Author 39. Craig David - 16 haTAaUk3zhA Total points: 291 Chart run: 8-3-3-2-1-2-8-10- {8 weeks} The third appearance of Craig David in the countdown, this time an album track from 'Following My Intuition'. Sampling a former #1 on this Chart 'Where Are Ü Now' it also climbed to the top to displace his own song 'Ain't Giving Up'. It's run was cut short as it only dropped out in the current week!
January 4, 20178 yr Author 38. Justin Bieber - Sorry fRh_vgS2dFE Total points: 295 Chart run: -9-11-13-12-9-8-9-13-12-25-36-40 {12 weeks} The highest song on this countdown that also made last years' list (albeit only just). A former 2-week #1 that stretched a further 3 months into this year comes courtesy of the Bieb who still has 2 more songs to appear.
January 4, 20178 yr Sorry is still a total jam for me - its epic longevity helped that, I think - although strangely for a song that hung about forever in the charts I never really (and still haven't) got bored of it. 16 is awesome, love the incoorporation of Jack U into it, and the rap is very solid too, still a jam also. Was a shame to see it couldn't become a hit officially because of the single choice mess :(
January 4, 20178 yr Author 37. Lost Kings (feat. Jessame) - Bad H3h2je2fCvg Total points: 296 Chart run: 17-10-8-6-5-11-10-10-19-26-33 {11 weeks} The second appearance from Lost Kings & comfortably the highest performing, charting right back at the end of 2015 & peaking within the top 5 a month later.
January 4, 20178 yr Author 36. Martin Solveig (feat. Tkay Maidza)- Do It Right wQRV5omnBBU Total points: 296 Chart run: 19-5-3-2-2-9-14-12-29-31-29 {11 weeks} Martin Solveig's only appearance in the chart last year and only his second ever following '+1'. This climbed all the way to #2 but couldn't oust Clean Bandit off the top.
January 4, 20178 yr Author Sorry is still a total jam for me - its epic longevity helped that, I think - although strangely for a song that hung about forever in the charts I never really (and still haven't) got bored of it. 16 is awesome, love the incoorporation of Jack U into it, and the rap is very solid too, still a jam also. Was a shame to see it couldn't become a hit officially because of the single choice mess :( Neither did I really! Both What Do You Mean & Love Yourself started to tire much quicker than Sorry. Love Yourself will appear highest in the countdown but that's only because it's whole run was counted. Yeah absolutely love me some 16. I think I do prefer Where Are U Now but this was a genius sample, together with lyrics from Fill Me In :music:
January 4, 20178 yr I haven't heard Do It Right but it features Tkay Maidza and I love her so I need to !! Sorry is still a tune <33
January 4, 20178 yr Sir Stormzy in the top 40 *_ oi rudeboy shut up!!! (SHUT UP!!) :music: Do It Right :wub: That spent ages in my chart so expect it to be very high up my EOY.
January 4, 20178 yr Shut Up is one of the best tunes of recent times. :wub: It beating X Factor in the chart last year was such a moment. I hope his album does well if it gets released this year like it's meant to. Sorry was the only of the 3 Bieber smashes that I enjoyed. It's just so fun and lively. :wub:
January 5, 20178 yr Sorry is excellent, I never really got bored of it, was so great to see him getting smash after smash at long last with the Purpose era :wub: Do It Right is pretty great too, really surprised it didn't get given a shot by Radio 1 :(
January 7, 20178 yr Author I haven't heard Do It Right but it features Tkay Maidza and I love her so I need to !! Sorry is still a tune <33 Yeah it's a brilliant track, didn't expect her vocals to sound so good on a Solveig track but they really elevate it! It sure is :dance: Sir Stormzy in the top 40 *_ oi rudeboy shut up!!! (SHUT UP!!) :music: Do It Right :wub: That spent ages in my chart so expect it to be very high up my EOY. State your name cuz! What a moment that was when it peaked in the top 10 *_* I would imagine it would be a top 10 contender for you perhaps? It would be very deserving if so! Shut Up is one of the best tunes of recent times. :wub: It beating X Factor in the chart last year was such a moment. I hope his album does well if it gets released this year like it's meant to. Sorry was the only of the 3 Bieber smashes that I enjoyed. It's just so fun and lively. :wub: Oh yeah I was celebrating wildly! I'm still yet to be fully on board as it's only really Sorry I've ever loved from him whereas other artists like Skepta I've liked 4 or 5 songs from. I would like an album tho It's definitely the best of the 3 yeah, will never get bored of it. Sorry is excellent, I never really got bored of it, was so great to see him getting smash after smash at long last with the Purpose era :wub: Do It Right is pretty great too, really surprised it didn't get given a shot by Radio 1 :( & he was an artist I had no shame in admitting liking even pre-Purpose. Some of his stuff on Believe was excellent too but I think this album definitely took him to another level! Yeah that was a surprise, he proved he could still get a big hit as seen with Intoxicated but I guess +1 flopping didn't really help matters :/
January 7, 20178 yr Author 35. Major Lazer (feat. Justin Bieber & MØ) - Cold Water fMvIARf_SUU Total points: 297 Chart run: 5-4-5-9-9-15-21-22-30-28-28-30-31-40 {14 weeks} The huge summer smash 'Cold Water' appears next, the second highest official #1 in the countdown. Whilst this is all we'll see from MØ here, Major Lazer & Justin Bieber still have a song each left to emerge.
January 7, 20178 yr Author 34. Drake (feat. Rihanna) - Too Good http://www.traofficial.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/00-duck_sauce_-_nrg-web-2014-pic-zzzz-26-320x320.jpg Total points: 304 Chart run: 3-1-1-4-5-5-13-18-31-38-33-36 {12 weeks} The second of Drake's appearances & first from Rihanna, this follow-up to 'One Dance' managed to achieve what that couldn't, climbing to the top for 2 weeks. It did fall relatively quickly for a #1 & this is not the last we'll see from either artist in the countdown.
January 7, 20178 yr Author 33. Mirror Talk - 1/M/T KXbE3K53Ii0 Total points: 307 Chart run: 21-14-11-6-5-7-6-11-12-25-32-36-40 {13 weeks} American New Wave band Mirror Talk achieved a huge smash at the beginning of the year with one of my favourite ever BJSC discoveries, going on to rack up 13 straight weeks in the top 40.
January 7, 20178 yr Author 32. Justin Bieber - Love Yourself oyEuk8j8imI Total points: 307 Chart run: 6-3-1-1-5-9-11-17-17-33 {10 weeks} The final JB appearance & highest official #1 in the list, 'Love Yourself' followed in 'Sorry's' footsteps by climbing to #1 for a fortnight. It's 6 weeks in the top 10 making up for it's swift exit thereafter.
January 7, 20178 yr Loving the double Bieber here! Love Yourself appeared in last year's EOY for me so won't be in this year's too but Cold Water is in my top 20, a fantastic track, my favourite thing from Major Lazer so far (although Light It Up comes close I must say).
January 7, 20178 yr Author 31. NEIKED (feat. Dyo) - Sexual zuIciiAgOAc Total points: 312 Chart run: 18-12-10-11-17-36-X-38-15-13-9-11-15-25-33-40 {15 weeks} Swedish DJ NEIKED appears next with a track that spent 2 separate stints in the Chart, peaking upon its return. It's second run not only put it in the running but pushed it all the way to just outside the top 30.
January 8, 20178 yr Sexual is really good - I'm glad it's had a monstrous chart run, plus it's great to see 16 and Sorry here :wub:
January 8, 20178 yr Nice to see Cold Water here, it did chart in my PC too (but only bc it knocked One Dance off #1 :kink: )
January 8, 20178 yr Sexual is fantastic! One of the surprise hits of 2016 for sure but totally worthy.
