Who Do You Think Of is great, really glad it did so well officially!

 

Swings & Waterslides was amazing as well, really sad what happened with the band :cry:

Who Do You Think Of? is a stunner, by far and away their best up to that point, and the quality continues with their newest single too I think :heart:

The Greatest is fantastic also, Sia's on fire at the moment.

Such a shame that Swings & Waterslides gained recognition the way it did, such a tragic story :( RIP.

I haven't heard M.O's new song yet but if you say its good I'll have to try and listen to it soon.

Sia has had a great year. :D

Comment: This is probably my guiltiest pleasure of all time. This completely passed me by in 2006 but I heard it this year due to my one-hit wonders thread and became addicted to it. Who knew that a Reggae-esque song from Paris Hilton would sound so good. Surely she couldn't have had much to do with the making of this song.

Comment: Another great record from the king of 2016. This is off his soon to be released project More Love which I don't think is going to be anywhere near as huge as Views. Although great, this is hardly classic Drake and will probably be one his least remembered tunes.

Comment: Such a smooth tune from The Weeknd. I feel like this is what everyone was expecting when they first heard of a Weeknd/Daft Punk collaboration. Daft Punk's characteristic robot vocals really fit in during this song. This really feels like it could have been an MJ song, it's that good.

Comment: I think this is the only fully foreign language song to ever reach my chart. This is such a step up from the English songs I've heard from Becky G. They tend to sound a bit childish but this is very sultry and sexy (possibly just the Spanish). I just wish I actually had any idea what she is saying.

2016 03 Queen's Speech 6

 

 

Comment: This is another brilliant Queen's Speech but isn't as good as the previous two. I'm glad she's been involved in some other songs outside of the QS's this year as they could get stale if she carries on with them, they do all follow a very similar pattern. She has 3 more songs coming up.

Comment: Decent tune from Bizzle. I wasn't a fan of his release before this, Dude with Stormzy, but this got him back on form. He is often seen as a bit of a joke nowadays but he did probably release the most important grime tune of all time, Pow (Forward) back in 2006. JME's shout out to 96 F**kries is what makes this track though.

Comment: The Chainsmokers have had an absolute massive year but this is the only one of their hits I've liked this year. Daya's vocals are ace and the drop is probably the best and most interesting of the year. The songs they've released after this have been too dull and generic.

Although this originally peaked higher, The Sound in the end won the battle and will be featuring much higher in this countdown.

Comment: This has been one of the most forgettable big hits of the year. G-Eazy's verses really steal the show here. Everything else I've heard from him he's been overshadowed by the other artist. Bebe's chorus is good but nothing amazing. Just a decent tune.

 

Hi Lewis

 

So far some great inclusions, I'll stick to my faves here tho:

 

Loved New Girl as well, perfect summer song that. Shame they'll probably never make anything half as decent again but ah well like you said at least it actually charted.

 

Tilted was a really nice surprise hit this year, seemed to win over many people who aren't normally a fan of the genre, myself included!

 

Purple Lambo I wasn't a big fan of initially but heaving heard it on playlists/in bars etc. I began to love it, probably should have charted for me at some point.

 

Really love I Feel It Coming & glad it became another top 10 hit for him, I'll need to hear the album in full altho I've heard clips of most of the songs just from hearing the top 40 that week.

HI Lewis

 

Omg, I think Stars Are Blind is the LAST single I was expecting to see in a 2016 EOY but it as absolute jam and a half so yay at you discovering it this year. It passed me by ast the time too so was shocked when I found out Paris Hilton had a brief pop career too but yeah it so catchy :wub:

 

I'm glad Lady Leshurr is still making the Queen's Speech tracks, every one yet has such clever word play and flow and she has so much charisma in her videos too :wub: I'm glad she switched it up with WAYN though and that is definitely her best track imo, pure bonkers but so much fun and fierceness :wub:

 

:D

New Girl did sound great in the summer. :D I saw they released a song recently but I doubt it's any good.

Yeah, I don't usually listen to songs like Tilted either. Everyone seems to love it though.

You should check out Starboy, it's much better than his last album. :)

:lol: The Paris song is shockingly good. It really has no right to be. There's only one more old song in my chart but it was featured in a massive movie this year and went back into the top 40 on sales so it certainly feels more 2016. :)

Queen's Speech 4 remains my fave from her but WAYN was certainly a welcome change from her and is still to come. Love that it got Wiley back around too.

Comment: One of two massive hits that was released on my 18th birthday. The other is much better and is a huge contender for my number one. This song only managed 1 week in my top 10, which is a massive shock for a song this high in my countdown. Undeniably' Tinie's best for a long time but it's Zara's interlude that steals the show.

Comment: The first verse directed at Donald Trump of this is absolutely epic. The 2nd verse quotes Benchley’s Law of Distinction which is my one of my favourite quotes. The chorus to this is also brilliant but with some many other tunes on his album this one got slightly overlooked. It's my only single with a music video from X Infinity that has missed my number one spot.

 

Hey Lewis :D

 

I love Stars Are Blind, Paris actually has some really great songs :lol: Nothing In This World is my favourite, such a shame it totally flopped :(

Girls Like is a huge tune! Tinie is hit and miss for me but this is definitely a hit in my books.

I quite like Love Me these days, I didn't like it at first but it's grown on me a fair amount!

I've only hears Stars Are Blind from her. I might check out some of her other songs but I can't imagine them being as good.

Tinie's been pretty hit and miss for me too since Disc-Overy. Girls Like has been his best non-featured since that album I think.

It took me a while to like Love Me too :D

Comment: Since this no longer exists on YT, iTunes or Spotify, I'm lucky it's one of the only songs I've bought this year.

I went down to watch Wigan 3 times last season and hearing the whole crowd sing along to this when they won the league 1 trophy was electric. If this was ranked on how many times I had sung the song this year, this would be number one. Since this was basically Blonde, have their chart history too.

2016 05 Oops (ft Charlie Puth)

 

 

Comment: This will continue its run long into 2017 but its newness works against it and it falls out here. I'm delighted this was chosen as the 2nd single and is doing so well officially. 3 more to come from the girls in what has been their strongest year to date.

Comment: This feels so different to what The Weeknd has been doing recently. This is high energy and exciting and certainly done its job waking me up in the mornings on my walk to uni. Love the video for this, I know it wasn't an official single but this should have at least gone top 40.

Comment: I thought his #1 with Duke Dumont was dull and his new one hasn't hit me yet but Jax Jones really delivered with this tune. It was the fun video that originally caught my attention about this track but the repetitiveness turned to catchiness and won me over.

 

60. Raleigh Ritchie - Bloodsport '15

 

My Peak: 03

Chart Run: 14-9-3-5-12-16 (6 weeks)

2015 10 The Greatest

2016 05 Keep It Simple (ft Stormzy)

2016 03 Bloodsport '15

 

 

Comment: Raleigh is one of the most underrated musicians around at the moment. Consistently making so very cool and chill tunes. This one is probably his most popular after Stronger Than Ever. There are two parts to the music video for this and part 2 in particular is crazy.

 

 

59. Stormzy - Scary

2016 06 Scary

 

 

Comment: After a massive breakout in 2015, Stormzy's had a relatively quiet 2016 but he did release this banger. Took an absolute age to grow on me but when it finally clicked I was hooked. Hope his album delivers this year.

Jason Derulo's Chart History

2016 06 Secret Love Song (Little Mix ft Jason Derulo)

 

 

Comment: This song feels huge. The chorus is massive and is one of the best of the year. Jason Derulo does fine but I wish they had someone else sing his parts. I think this is the best Jesy has sounded on a Little Mix song.

DNCE's Chart History:

2016 04 Cake By The Ocean

 

 

Comment: When I started making my chart I did not think that 2/3 of the Jonas Brothers would have hits in my chart but here we are. This is certainly one of the catchiest songs of the year and sounded like a smash upon first listen. I'm shocked that EA didn't put it on FIFA 17, it sounds like the most obvious FIFA song of all time. Overplay started to ruin it slightly though.

Comment: I love the chorus type backing to this track. The lyrics are complete cheese, especially when they are referencing Kim Kardashian. Vic Mensa & Sia steal the track with their short parts. The Life Of Pablo is a great album and this is just one of the great tracks off it.

2016 01 Run (Tiggs Da Author ft Lady Leshurr)

2016 05 Where Are You Now (ft Wiley)

2016 03 Queen's Speech 6

 

 

Comment: This became the 2nd consecutive Queen's Speech song to peak at 2 in my charts, although it couldn't manage the 4 weeks there that QS4 did. Just as the law of diminishing returns suggests, this was nowhere near the quality of the previous. It was lucky to be released at the start of the year when new music is not at its finest.

Samra's Chart History:

Comment: And the highest Eurovision song of 2016 drops out. It's a great return seeming that last year's highest ended up at 71, although last year 4 made the top 100 vs only 3 this year. This wasn't my favourite on the night, but it is the only one I listen to regularly now. This is just a great pop song and should have done much better at the competition.

Comment: This is the only "dance remake of old urban song" of the year I could get behind. This seems to have character and is actually fun which is what others (cough: The Mack, Let Me Hold You) miss out on. This has one of the best videos of the year and was a deserved smash.

Edited January 8, 20179 yr by RobinJuanPersie

Yay for both Little Mix songs there, they're probably my top 2 Little Mix singles now tbh :wub:

Sex never really clicked with me, Let Me Hold You is soooo much better for me. It's weird cause I really like Trevor's voice on most songs but I find his vocal quite irritating on Sex, plus the production is quite basic :(

Cake By the Ocean is super catchy and fun! Nothing they've done since has lived up to it unfortunately.

They're both great but my favourite two is Shout Out To My Ex & Wings.

I might have liked Let Me Hold You better if I didn't already love the Kevin Lyttle song. They just seemed to make it more boring for me.

Certainly agree over DNCE, their follow-ups have been a bit rubbish. :lol:

Kent Jones' Chart History:

2016 01 Don't Mind

 

 

Comment: This song certainly is gimmicky, using different languages in the chorus and naming loads of places in the verses. This is probably why I started off loving it but it felll quickly and bar 3 Lions, this is the lowest #1 of 2016 in my countdown. Became a huge hit in the UK but already feels forgotten.

Comment: Although this is probably one of, if not the most disliked song of the year, I love it. This succeeds, where so many similar songs fail, it's not boring. I do prefer the live version, but Calum's vocals are actually interesting and different to what I've heard before. I wasn't a big fan when he was on BGT but this has grown on me massively since. I don't like the Robyn version at all, which probably makes it easier for me to like this one.

2016 09 I Would Like

 

 

Comment: Kicking off the top half of my countdown is Zara Larsson. She's had such a great year, with her debut UK smash still to come. This was another very fun single from her, with a cool video that really should have went top 10. I'm excited for her album now.
