59. peak: 47* 6wks HAMMER Chiara Hunter (syndare 89)

 

 

Pure early 80's jazz-funk, it could almost be Shakatak reborn - that'll be Shakatak at their best - and it's cool and jazztastic and still in my charts. First of 2 for Syndare.

Ooh two more entries for me here since I last commented :o Hooray at actually having 4 here instead of 3, the more the merrier *.*

 

Glad that 'Arcade Summer' and '1-800MYLOVE' ended up being to your taste! You do seem to be quite a fan of my more dancey entries this year haha. Although, if I am correct about what I think the final entry of mine is here, then that one isn't dance at all... :o

 

Some other great picks here as well, the sublime 'Two Hearts' for instance :heart:

58. peak: 17* 4wks SEXUAL NEIKED featuring Dyo (ramrynia 84)

 

 

Hands up, I missed this one. I barely noticed it in the contest (and I invariably like/love Ramrynia's entries) and passed over it in the voting. When it charted I continued to remain un-moved, even when it went top 10. Guess what? 4 weeks ago I bought it, and it's now really growing fast, shooting into my top 20 and on its way higher, and an obvious contender for top 30 of the year when it's chart run is done. Sorry Ryan! Anyways first of 2 for Ramrynia.

57. peak: 39 8wks GREEN DENM (kluminican republic 88)

 

 

I under-rated the chart peak of this one, though it had a good run, it's what I call a classy indie-EDM track, pretty plinkety-plonk Electronic bits, and unusual rhythms, and a nice understated male vocal. First of 2 for Klumzee.

Thanks for the comment Jade B-) I think you have already guessed which the top one will be - though as it's still charting it may be not as high as it deserves, but I'll be doing chart "sales" for the top 50, so it gives a comparative way of comparing how much I love tracks at the top end :lol:

 

popchartfreak me, always said I was :lol:

56. peak: 34 7wks DREAMIN’ Embody featuring Camden Cox (beaverdonia 82)

 

 

Another cool low-key dance track with a catchy hook a bit lacking in lyrics, which has never been a problem for me. Ooh-oohs are fine! That makes Beaverdonia all complete in this chart.

55. peak: 36 5wks MAKE YOU STAY The Girl And The Dreamcatcher (greenfroze 86)

 

 

I love an old-fashioned male-female love duet, and this one is pretty damn good. It's a great song for a start, chock-filled with mini-melodies throughout. I could easily see this as a huge hit - about 3 or 4 years back. In the current chart-climate, no chance. Boo! Second of two for Greenfroze.

54. peak: 40 8wks MOMBASA Stadium X (brechtoria 86)

 

 

I think this one sadly got edged out of the wrong semi. It's a tribal banging dance instrumental goodie, but I think it got overshadowed by the one I entered, also a bangin' tribal dance number. First of 2 for Brechtoria.

53. peak: 37 9wks CAN’T GET ENOUGH Basenji (st burbia 83)

 

 

From the contest where voters went mad - BJSC83 - and far too many good tracks not qualifying for the final, such as this understated quirky horn-riffed melodic mini-gem. 2nd of 2 for St. Burbia.

Hiya John, delighted to see a couple of my entries here! :o Thanks very much *.*

 

74. peak: 50 7wks SOUND OF YOUR HEART Shawn Hook (bellamia 84)

 

What I call a good example of teenpop, a killer hook, and a teen(or pre-teen)-appealing young singer. An actual old-fashioned bridge in it to boot, pleasantly rentarappa free. 1st of 2 for bellamia (and why wasn't it a hit when so many more rubbish teen pop tracks are - rhetorical question, it's due to fanbase and luck...)

Sound of Your Heart feels like it should've been a chart hit to me, it's incredibly catchy and it would stand out amongst a lot of the stuff in the chart... maybe that's the problem :lol:

 

65. peak: 50 7wks PLEASE DON’T GO Joel Adams (bellamia 81)

 

Another good teen-pop track, this one managing to hang around the UK streaming-based chart for a couple of months without cracking the top 40. It also failed to qualify for the final. Wot?! Obviously a good pop tune to me, and Joel Adams has a pretty singing good voice, which is one up on some of his rivals (hi Bieber!). Second of 2 for bellamia...

My personal favourite of my entries this year also :wub: Definitely one of the most gutting DNQs I've had! He has a very good voice and I heard a few of his other songs when I saw him live in April, lots of potential, just needs to actually follow this up now! :lol: Shame it never got sent to radio, its streaming success suggests it could've been massive.

52. peak: 40 7wks TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT Great Good Fine OK (trifoski 81)

 

 

Hey, a boyband track that is catchily delicious, and helped no end by the great video. Again, could have been big a few years ago, and you can't say Seven enters the same genres, which is just how I like it. 4th of 6 - yes, already as many on the chart as anyone else in total and two still left :lol:

51. peak: 40 7wks TU BA MANI Meghan Kabir (botannika 84)

 

 

Just missing the top half of the chart is this brave entry, Afghani-roots-song (I think) but sung by an American-based singer-songwriter. It's fab. 1st of 3 for Botannika, so maths says 2 in the top 50...

Thanks Joseph, yes both of them could easily have been chart hits in an alternate universe, a shame they didn't click, and at least you got the satisfaction of seeing a DNQ chart. Hah! Shout it loud, "I was right..." :lol:

Tu Ba Mani :wub:

 

I am expecting 'This Girl' to slay this :P

 

Well, I would be shocked if it wasn't up there with the best..... :lol: :o

on with the top 50!

 

50. peak: 30 8wks MOTH TO A FLAME Chairlift sales: 73050 (mulgracia 82)

 

 

and it wouldn't be a top 50 without a James jam or ballad, a rather sweet laid-back, non-video jam in this case. First of 2 for the former Jamvale.

49. peak: 21 5wks SPEAKING OF MOMENTS BLEITCH 74300 (kluminican republic 81)

 

 

I still see this as a sort of Karen Carpenter intro and upbeat/gorgeous dance track. The female vocal is just lovely. The song is fab. Sadly no youtube video, needs one and needs to get some promo. Klumzee's biggest track of the year.

48. peak: 31* 7wks DREAMER Coco Morier 74350 (FRO ashton 89)

 

 

Still hanging my charts, this 80's-throwback is irresistibly Pet Shop Boys styled, like a slowed version of the backing tracks favoured by the Disco album period-PSB's. How could I not love it?! Top entry from Ashton of the year for me.

47. peak: 32 7wks LATE AT NIGHT Generik 74900 (Aeyundore 86)

 

 

A 90's-styled house dance singalong, urgent and tuneful, great singer on the record to boot. Every track in the top 50 is just fab for me, and this is no exception, so the question is: why didn't it qualify!? Injustice! 2nd of 3 for the re-re-named Summericia (must say I prefer Summericia to Eeyore) :lol:
