Coming soon, but as a taster, first off the awards for Countries Of The Year:

 

In top spot, with 6 hits in the 100, is Trifoski, consistent throughout the year, and a fair way out in front to boot.

 

With fab support, though, 4 hits to be featured, are Medhelnia and Aeroche, who both had a marvellous year.

 

That leaves the pretty good list of nations with a hat-trick of entries: Fljotavik, Botannika, Yehesi, Ultraviolenceland, FSR Rontvia, Jadakissnia, Summericia/Eeyoreonadoor well-done all :cheer:

 

Another 23 countries have 2 spots in the list, so my maths means another 22 have 1 entry only, for a total of 54 nations on the list. Our chart list of buzzjack songs that entered the chart during the year runs to about 150 or so, so if you dont get a namecheck you must be just outside the 100, oops! Sorry!

 

But just WHICH of your songs did I love more than others?! :o

 

TBC

looking forward to this john *.* :cheer:

3 of my songs here :o Mega hyped for this *.*

Best countdown already

Hype hype hype :wub:

:cheer: YESS

100. peak: 69* 2wks GREGORY’S THEME Basto (South Danaelanda 90)

 

 

Fab and tuneful dance instrumental, this one is still in my charts and climbing, and will end the year higher than this, but it's a great way to start the countdown. First of 2 for (South) Danaelanda....

99. peak: 52 4wks DOPE Beware Of Darkness (seyetana 87)

 

 

A Terrific and under-appreciated riffy bit of rock, should have qualified for the 87 final. This track is, of course, DOPE. Woo get me all using trendy words :lol: 1st of 2 Izzies.

98. peak: 63 4wks BON BON Era Istrefi (Yehesi 82)

 

 

A typically Yehesi catchy sultry dancepop toon, and one that has done pretty well in Europe subsequently, this is the non-English version with the wintry video. Should have been a UK hit too. First of 3 for Yehesi.

97. peak: 57 5wks SCOPE MissingNo (Jadakissnia 88)

 

 

Played this in the car yesterday, still sounding good, should have been called Stuck On You though, but it shows how speeded-up vocals can work when done right. Love the chiming arrangements and beats. First of 3 for Jadakissnia.

96. peak: 56 3wks GHOST Matilda (Greenfroze 87)

 

 

It wouldn't be a 2016 listing without at least ONE entry with the word "Ghost" in it, and here it is, that one with the great singalong chorus. First of 2 for Greenfroze...

95. peak: 70 5wks I WANT YOU TO SHAKE/THE SHAKE (SOMEWHERE IN THE BALLPARK) Francis And The Lights (pi 89)

 

 

Francis And The Lights have been great this year, and Pavel has been a supporter quite rightly. This quirky funky track should have qualified, though I suspect the awesome Friends or See Her Out might have got a bit more BJ support.

Something in here and it's Dope

Ooh one of my entries *.* Glad you took to 'Scope', John! Listening to it in the car is something I'm yet to do but I should do at some point. Also agree that the beats/chiming arrangements make for very strong production.

94. peak: 53 3wks MIRROR MIRROR Jeff Williams featuring Casey Lee Williams (Seyetana 82)

 

 

 

second and final (sadly) entry from the always-interesting Seyetana, this one is what I call "ambitious", sedate orchestral and haunting Casey-Lee Williams vocals mixed-in with swirling all-in upbeat bits. Should have got Robbie Williams in too for a Williams trio....

93. peak: 71* 3wks ALGA Ignea (Summericia 90)

 

 

Talking of swirling orchestral pieces, I had to double-check this wasn't another Seyetana entry! It's Summericia doing a rock/orchestra combo, with bonus hookie female vocal, and another epic-ambitious entry to my chart (*still climbing, will go higher). I must say, given we are only at 93 and I am loving all the entries already, that shows how much I rated 2016 BJSC entries.

92. peak: 58 4wks WHITE FLAG Joseph (Harmonica 89)

 

 

Pure American country-pop singalong delight this one, with a very catchy hook. With a bit of good-timing could easily be a hit in some regions, or at least home-state Oregon for the 3 sisters. Sadly just the one chart entry for Harmonica, boo!

91. peak: 50 3wks DON’T BE SHY (FILATOV & KARAS REMIX) Imany (Dobago 81)

 

 

Throbbing fab dance track, in remix form, from Imany - a good French singer - and I am in no way biased by the backdrop scenery to the cavorting model in the video which is pretty much similar to what I saw at the beach in Singapore when I was a lad. Dobago's sole entry is a good way to round-off the bottom 10....

Yassssssss :yahoo:

 

amazed how soon it's managed to creep into your top 100 tho :o i imagine Billie Ray Martin is the other appearance B-)

yay I want You to Shake. Sadly it's probably the only entry of mine here
