46. peak: 19* 4wks EARTH NOT ABOVE Haelos 77400 (jadakissnia 90)

 

 

Still high in my charts, and so lower than it should be (most-likely it will end up top 20 for 2016) for Jade's best track of the year. I love atmospheric creations, and this is a fab moody Massive Attack-ish full-marks-from-Singerpurear track, the best entry in the final contest of 2016. Love it. Sadly, the last of Jadakissnia's 4 on the list - at least until I do a total sales version around about Spring 2017 :lol:

45: peak: 39 9wks MIRACLE Julian Perretta 79150 (ramrynia 84)

 

 

Sounding very much like a Pan-European 2016 big hit (that almost made it) this singalong tropical-house-ish had that Oh Yeah hook and a jolly mood going for it. Unassuming pop, it just niggled into my brain for 9 weeks and wouldn't let go. Second of 2 for Ramrynia (though the other one will overtake it in due course)

44. peak: 34 8wks EMOJI Pegboard Nerds 79850 (FSR Rontvia 81)

 

 

The video put me right off initially, for some reason, and I was a bit resistant to it's semi-novelty frantic pop charms, at least for voting purposes. I kept coming back to it though, and played it in my car a couple of times and it just grew and grew weeks after the contest. Insistent! Second of 3 for FSR....

Catching up~~

 

Blush, Please Don't Go, Capsize, 1000 Nights & Once In A While are all really good :wub:

Sexual is good, good to see it get big.

 

Can't Get Enough really hit me in October, such a fun track.

Great Good Fine Ok and Pegboard Nerds are both great, caught up now :D

43. peak: 16 5wks FADED Kallay Saunders Band 83950 (medhelnia 83)

 

 

Top-notch beautifully-sung male-vocal dance music with passion, this should have had a longer run in my chart. Terrific song, fab production, and very very under-appreciated victim of the rubbish BJSC83 cull. 4th-best track to DNQ during 2016, and the first of 4 for Medhelnia, very nearly the only country to get 4 tracks inside the top 40. Mdh was on fire this year and still, the only country to get 4 inside the 50 is good enough!

Great Good Fine Ok and Pegboard Nerds are both great, caught up now :D

 

just in time for your first one! :lol:

oh an unexpected entry of mine here :o i'm afraid I don't really like 'Late At Night' that much anymore, although it was quite funky (quoting snake here :P ) I'm glad it got some fans though so I don't regret sending it :lol:

 

'Earth Not Above ' :wub:

42. peak: 17* 5wks SUNRISE (HERE I AM) Ratty 84200 (botannika 90)

 

 

Still high in my charts and still sounding fab, I loved this one right away. Maybe it was the nostalgia for my Darude-Sandstorm clubbing days (I was a late starter! :lol: ) or the female world-music vocals reminding me of Enigma, or maybe it's because it's just such a banging dance track in its own right, even some 16 or 17 years later. Second of 3 for Botannika, and like Haelos (it had a week's head-start in my chart, being in my semi) destined to go higher in the chart.

Hi Rob, you never know you may fall back in love with it one day :D I do that all the time....

41. peak: 40 8wks SPHYNX La Femme 85450 (trifoski 88)

 

 

Just missing the Year-end top 40, is this delightful French-language EDM oddity, quirky as a very quirky thing. Sweet and unusual. Oops! That means Trifoski have had 5 of their 6 outside the 40, so that leaves just one more to go - but where exactly?

 

TBC another night

FADED :cheer: thankyou for the inclusion John!

My entries have appeared! :cheer: Didn't realise you were a fan of DENM so very surprise to see that appear here - still think it's a cool track but maybe just not right for BJSC :( Yay KarenCarpenter vibes tho ~

Aw a shame that HAELOS' position has suffered from being so late in the year :lol: But amazing nevertheless to be recognised here, I was so happy that it received a full 18 from you *.* Glad you like it so much <3

Thanks Jade, just like the year-end UK chart tracks released late in the year don't get a look-in cos of the bias towards streaming in the first 6 months :lol:

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.

I'm still gutted I sat on this instead of entering it immediately and then got beat too it! It's a bloody wonderful track. :wub:

 

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.

Wasn't expecting to make this list but nice to see a respectable showing for Dreamer! I admit i've never actively listened to PSB but what initially caught my attention for this track was defo the backing track.

Not sure whether 'The Wandering Songstress' is still to come or just missed out on the top 100 completely! Feel free to put me out of my misery John :drama: x

 

Enjoying this countdown anyway, I applaud you for writing up individual posts with commentary for every song!

Thanks Bre, yes you've guessed Songstress is in the 40...I'll keep you guessing though where :lol:

Thanks Silas, ooh yes you just missed out on the fab Girl Dreamcatcher, doh!

 

Dreamer is just as good though, if you like the backing track give a listen to Pet Shop Boys I'm Not Scared off Introspective, or their version with Eighth Wonder aka Patsy Kensit which seems to be the inspiration for Dreamer a bit. B-)
