(commentary will be posted after each of the 100-91', 80-71,50-41's etc)

 

will continue with a few more much later on this evening or something but at least I've got started with the 100 now!

Diplo's 'Get It Right' and NF's 'Let You Down' both very very good!

So kicking off the top 100 we have US rapper NF with 'Let You Down' followed by recent bJSC entry 'into deep by Jennie Abrhamsson, another song you could say is very Kate Bush sounding in the vocals! The Veronicas 'The Only High' enters at 98, this is certainly nowhere near touching the stunning 'You Ruin Me' which made number 12 in my EOY for 2014.

 

Diplo was a huge force behind Major Lazer's 'Lean On' as was Danish singer MO (with the slash) and so they team up again for a song that came out in October 'Get It Right', could do well next year possibly?

 

Also in the mix we have George Ezra's return single, Louisa's flop but a tune at that, Anne Marie's big UK Smash 'Ciao Adios', BJSC91's 'Beautiful Crime' by Tamer, a haunting song that I gave my 18 points to. Lastly Macklemore current single featuring the returning Kesha 'Good Old Days' is miles better than 'Glorious' which I really didn't think much of at all and at 91 we have the new song by MO (with the slash) who makes her second and last appearance in this very section!

In this batch we the follow up single to the monster latin smash that Luis Fonsi dominated with all summer... 'Echame La Cupla' featuring vocals from Demi Lovato. This for me is just as good if not better but registers at 90 as a result of not really taking off nor being out that long, some songs released in October for example are different because of how popular and in your head they are!

 

89 sees WWE's Chris Jericho's band Fozzy, this is the first time they've ever featured inside an EOY of mine purely because it's quite commercial I think and the video pretty awesome too. No I don't need to make the list of Jericho because I'm not an stupid idiot enough to snub it from my chart :kink: (wrestling catchphrase). I've also seen them live a few years and they are very kick ass too!

 

Starley's 'Call On Me' is at 88, this was a big hit in January managing to peak officially at number 6 & it's somewhat a very dancey track although it did get old pretty fast. Mammoth hit 'Human' is at 87 followed by Lorde's beautiful and emotional album track 'Liability', this growed on me a lot after seeing her performance of it at the Radio 1 Big Weekend. 'Bon Appetite' the second single from Katy Perry's latest album is 85 and Maroon 5's latest offering also shows up at 84, for me it's one of their better effort of the last year but nothing on a lot of their discography.

 

Christmas number of 2016 'Rockabye' slides about 20 places from last years placing (would have made the top 10 if I didn't include chart runs and it held it down immensely) to number 83. Finally Coldplay's 'Miracles' (Someone Special) is 81 ahead of sexy summer jam 'Dunga' by Maria Ale!

Scared to Be Lonely missing out on the top 100 :cry:

 

Best Behaviour and Ciao Adios are my top 100 faves so far :wub:

Rockabye & What Lovers Do are my faves from your top 100 so far, shame Scared To Be Lonely just missed out!

 

Liking a lot of the BJSC inclusions.

Rockabye is definitely the best Clean Bandit single from this era so far! overplay killed it a little but I do remember how much I loved it when I first heard it :wub:

 

Call On Me as well :D This one hit me the first time I heard it, really deserved Top 10!

great to see Saving Light make this even if just outside top 100.

 

Rockabye, Call On Me, Ciao Adios are my faves in the top 100 so far.

So many good songs, I like them all, especially "Rockabye", "Ciao Adios", "Perfect Places", "What Lovers Do", "Echame La Culpa" and "Let Me Down"!

I Did Something Bad entering :rolleyes: I hope she makes it a single. Getaway Car would also be a nice choice :P

 

No More Sad Songs being that low and Power not even entering :cry:

 

Wasn't breathe released only a few ago? Nice to see it that high!!

 

Good to see Love So Soft somewhere after being a big flop for Kelly ^_^

 

Best Behaviour and Echame La Culpa :cheer:

Within the top 80 now and at 80 we have a recent PC Music sounding hit from Namasenda called 'OK Bye' followed by The Revitalists with their jazz pop rock track 'Wish I Knew You', keeping up with the latin fever that the world embraced this year... Enrqiue's every few years 'grabs a hit in the UK' came courtesy of 'Subleme La Radio', more Lorde at 77 with BJSC 96 winner 'Elizabeth Taylor' by Claire Maguire in 76th.

 

At 75 we have former 1D gone solo Harry Styles with his David Bowie sounding 'Sign Of The Times, the video sees Harry's flying *_* what a unreal sight lol. BJSC time again and Aelandor's lovely entry from a few contests back (96 again I think) 'Old Man' by Billy Lockett comes in at 74. Just got the new Taylor album yesterday (Boxing Day) yayyyy and from it we have 'Call It What You Want' placed 73rd. The voice pitch chorus of 'Thunder' by Imagine Dragons beckons at 72 however it's not the one and only time we'll see them as ID will appear a bit later on... Lastly the huge latin smash, well it was THE latin smash of the year spending so long at the top of the UK chart until ACR came and killed it's momentum (although it did put up a great fight for a few weeks) 'Despacito' which sits at 71.

Starting off at 70 we have another song which so happened to dominate the summer and topple Despacito from 'said' ACR rule... 'Feels' by Calvin Harris, Clean Bandit have another appearance for the recent single 'I Miss You' which features Julia Michaels whilst Ella Eyre's comeback single was a resounding flop and not one of her best by any means but 'Ego' did grow on me and is easily passable as a decent song!

 

After a few listens of not really being too keen.. it was when 'Feel It Still' made it's one week appearance in the top 40 back in October that really kicked it into gear for me as it sounded brilliant in the car, some songs sound better whilst out and this was one of those, now when I listen to it at home I enjoy it a whole lot more each time since, very catchy and different. Kelly's 'Move You' a very gospelly sounding 'Move You' didn't really interest on first listen as I preferred 'Love So Soft' at first however last month I took a listen to it for the first time in a few months and it suddenly sounded very good and her voice on this is incredible... well Kelly kinda can't do any wrong there reallly!

 

Feel It Still :wub: A real grower for me, still love it now!

 

Great to see I Miss You here as well, really wish it had been as successful officially as Rockabye and Symphony :(
