Apart from Gucci Gang, which I will give you as being crap, I absolute love the rest of your top 5 worst songs. :kink:

 

I know you probably don't want to know but Boujee is the 'cool' way to say bourgeois. :lol:

 

Glad to see Sunstroke Project made #1 in your charts. Massive highlight during Eurovision this year.

I don't really mind Bad & Boujee now but good call on Rockstar & Gucci Gang. Like I don't understand the point of them.

yep hate every one of those 5, especially Gucci Gang, like I don't even get how someone could actually listen to that and get enjoyment from it, just PRAYING it doesn't get as huge here as in the states

yaaaaas feel sorry for me

The mainstream song of the year is so great!

It's my favourite song from JP Cooper so far!

I love 'Congratulations', 'Rockstar' and 'XO TOUR LLIF3' :( but 'Gucci Gang' is atrocious so I'll forgive you x

Hate all 5 of your hate chart as well! :cheer: (and September song as well oops :kink:)

Bad And Boujee, XO Tour Llif3 and Rockstar have something in common.

They all had a review from Rap Critic.

Flooded by replies :P Thanks everyone! :D

 

I can already tell this is going to be my favourite EOY to read this year, I'm creased at the picture references and your commentary is fab too :lol: :wub:

 

I'm glad Bad and Boujee made it in the hate chart over your other two contenders! I think the others are bops tbh but I barely remember how this even goes, shocked it was such a huge hit in the US when they've had better singles/features for sure.

 

I like the whole top five of the hate chart aside from that though, oops! But at least "Congratulations" would be my second least favourite so I'm kind of pleased at that winning (losing?) :lol:

 

The picture references stop here I'm afraid, glad you've liked them though! Thanks Josh!

 

ALL of those 5 in your hate chart are amazing :kink: (well l except for Gucci Gang but I still enjoy it somewhat).

 

Your mainstream song pick makes up for that tho, still a great track!

 

Glad you like September Song though - holds up so well! Thanks Dobbo!

Third one in a row where you love the worst songs :( Bourgeois just means posh really doesn't it? 'Bad and Posh' sounds like a rubbish name for a song (but a great name for a double-act) Thanks Lewis!

 

I don't really mind Bad & Boujee now but good call on Rockstar & Gucci Gang. Like I don't understand the point of them.

 

To annoy people I think :lol: Yeah I agree with you there. Thanks Cody!

Same! Still waiting for a song from him that matches it in any way :( Thanks Sergej!

 

I love 'Congratulations', 'Rockstar' and 'XO TOUR LLIF3' :( but 'Gucci Gang' is atrocious so I'll forgive you x

 

Oops, the fourth person in this string of replies :( Glad you fell the same about Gucci Gang though. Thanks Jade!

 

Hate all 5 of your hate chart as well! :cheer: (and September song as well oops :kink:)

 

I hope there are some songs in my Top 100 you like :P Glad you're annoyed with the trap-fest as well though. Thanks Sam!

Nice to know! Thanks Dalek!

Album of the Year - Declan McKenna - What Do You Think About the Car

Charting Songs from This Album:
01 The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home
03 Brazil
03 Why Do You Feel So Down?
08 Humongous
87 Mind

It might seem weird but coming into 2017 I really didn't rate this guy. I mean, I knew he existed, but I was just a bit like 'ugh, another kid doing odd music'. Then January comes along and The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home dropped, and I was completely taken by both the song and its message. Then he followed up with a re-release of Brazil, which now sounded just as good, an incredibly catchy piece of music. After Humongous the album dropped, so I could re-hear all the other great songs on the album, and for the first time since Lukas Graham's self-titled, album tracks in the form of Why Do You Feel So Down and Mind charted in the Top 100! I'm really looking forward to new music from him!

Honourable Mention: Linkin Park - One More Light

 

Peak: 04 / Month of Peak: September 2017

 

Linkin Park's Chart History:

2017 23 Talking To Myself

2017 45 Heavy (Linkin Park ft. Kiiara)

2017 04 One More Light

 

So, unfortunately this year we lost another star this year in the form of Chester Bennington. I don't think it hit me as hard as it hit some, but I did enjoy Linkin Park's songs when I was younger and I did know a lot of their songs without realising. It was about a month later when they released this as a proper tribute, and this did really resonate with me. It wasn't just the reason for the release, it was the message of the song iteslf - that every death affects someone, however insignificant it might feel to the rest of us. RIP Chester, you will be missed.

Amazing choice there, One More Light is beautiful :wub: Might be worthy of a mention in my thread too so I'm glad you reminded me of it!

 

I hope to recognize a fair amount of the songs in your top 100 :P

Indeed :wub: Such a brilliant and touching choice of release. Thanks Jordan!

Honourable Mention: Relient K - Candy Hearts

 

Peak: 34 / Month of Peak: September 2017

 

Relient K's Chart History:

2017 34 Candy Hearts

 

Now you're probably wondering why on earth a song that peaked at #34 has been given an honourable mention. The answer is simple - it currently holds the record for the most weeks (21) spent in the Top 100 of my chart (I mean it's now joint leader with Lost Frequencies but he's going to be making another appearance so he doesn't need this :P ). I think it was Jacob who first introduced me to this band, but by the time I discovered this existed I was already almost 5 months out of it. My original plan was to enter it low and then immediately drop it out so that it at least got a chart position, but then it just kept growing on me. It finally hit the Top 40 on New Format week (giving it another lease of life as it had fallen to 97 the week before), and it only just dropped out of the Top 100 this week. So there you go ;)

Honourable Mention: The Kooks - Be Who You Are

 

Peak: 05 / Month of Peak: May 2017

 

The Kooks' Chart History:

2017 05 Be Who You Are

2017 12 Broken Vow

 

So this year, The Kooks came back! Even if it was just for two songs to be featured on a 'Best Of' album. This was the first of those two songs, and really took me back to the 00s when this sort of amazing music was still a thing in the charts. A really catchy chorus, and all the indie-components needed for me to love this song, but clearly they're no longer chart contenders as this sort of music has now been replaced by the sort of music that fills up all of my 2017 Worst Songs. Their follow-up, Broken Vow, reached #12 but gains the 'Comically Swift Chart-Run' award once I'd realised what the song was actually about.

Honourable Mention: Jessie Ware - Selfish Love

 

Peak: 03 / Month of Peak: October 2017

 

Jessie Ware's Chart History:

2017 03 Selfish Love

2017 68 Alone

 

Another artist I had no feelings whatsoever for until a few months ago, when I heard this. This really hit me, once again being the same sort of sound I listened to when I was young. At one point I was certain this was going to be #1, but then Oceans and Lukas Graham had other ideas. Unfortunately I then 'went off' it quite quickly, spending a mere 5 weeks in the Top 40. The 'proper' single 'Alone' was also a very good song, but not good enough to reach the Top 40 in my chart.

Both of the Linkin Park singers released after the Chester news will be in my eoy. I haven't actually watched the video yet. not sure I can bring myself too atm as it feels so unreal :( one more light is lovely though.

 

September Song too is a great song <3 also will be in my eoy!

Honourable Mention: Axwell /\ Ingrosso - More Than You Know

(this is the last one I promise)

 

Peak: 10 / Month of Peak: July 2017

 

Axwell /\ Ingrosso's Chart History:

2016 03 Thinking About You

2017 10 More Than You Know

 

A dance song at last! You'd almost think I wasn't a dance fan :P It did only peak at #10, but this is one of the reasons I switched to my new format - by the time I really liked this song, my systematic OCD-craving self had already thrown it down to #21 and a run of 10-21-5 would have probably made my brain explode. Words cannot describe how delighted I was at this going Top 40, and it's missed out on my Top 100 by one place!

Glad you like these songs! One More Light is such a good song, such a shame this is how it was released :( Thanks Rob!

More Than You Know :wub: same thing happened to me lol, cus the week after it peaked at 8 was when it really hit me but I already dropped it down to 15 and I couldn't have it go 8-15-3 or something ://

I do like Jessie Ware's output this era, but it isn't QUITE as strong as previous offerings, it feels like something is missing.

#100: Throttle - Found You (Make Me Yours)

 

Peak: 03 / Month of Peak: July 2017

 

Throttle's Chart History:

2017 03 Found You (Make Me Yours)

2017 17 Tell Me You Love Me (Galantis & Throttle)

 

So let's kick things off! As a side note, I'd forgotten to include one of my #1s so I've just added it in now, if anyone was looking forward to seeing Bublé in the Top 100 you've got a song about a llama to thank for ruining your dreams. Anyway, in at #100 is Throttle's first single to hit my charts, 'Found You'. It's one of those with a drop that's really catchy but is just made up of vocals that make no sense whatsoever, but the high-pitched vocals in their entirety make this song for me I think. The video also caught my attention, you don't tend to get videos with a guy and a massive teddy bear going clubbing nowadays. His next single is a collab with Galantis, which mayyy be appearing a bit later on ;)
