There For You is superb, it feels like a nice mix between Garrix's recent sound and Troye's Blue Neighbourhood vibe.

 

Feels Great didn't hit the spot as much as Let Me Hold You/Shed a Light/No Promises did for me but I like it nonetheless!

Nice to see "Say A Prayer", "Finders Keepers" and "Deeper" making your Year-End list!

Glad you like all of them :D

 

Deeper was another that was really instant, I loved it for a couple of weeks then it kind of wore off on me. I'm sure by June I'll think it's amazing again though ;)

I have tired of Deeper a bit now actually tbh, but I think it's one that I'll come back to a lot for a while

It's nice how it still manages to keep Troye's sound as well

I think I prefer it to Let Me Hold You and Shed A Light but it's nothing on No Promises :wub:

I still remember how hyped I was for this the day of the BRITs when it leaked on a spotify banner during the day before they premiered it, I think I knew it was gonna make my number 1 before I even heard it, if only it could have managed it officially too. It's pretty classic Chainsmokers, but it really is them being at their best, probably due to them basically ripping off one of their previous bests: Roses. It did get old on me very quickly tho, and still has yet to grow back on me I think. Shame it looks like we won't be getting anything like this from them soon, but I'm so here for their new direction if Sick Boy is anything to go by

16-12-2017 11 Louis The Child - Last To Leave ft. Caroline Ailin [24-15-14-11-11-13]

Well this one was certainly very different for Louis The Child, it was a real standout on their EP (although not my fave as that's still to come), and I wasn't 100% sure about it at first but it grew on me really quickly, and just got better and better with every listen, it has an insanely catchy beat that engrains itself into your head, but still has that class Louis The Child chilled vibe but the song just makes you feel so good and I can't help but smile listening to it. I've recently fallen back in love with this again via it appearing on an some Apple advert a few months back

Fantastic remix here courtesy of Goldroom, it's got that laid back deep house production that I die for :wub: RAC give amazing vocals and really deliver some emotion here, which is what caused this to stand out so much for me. It was one of the songs of my summer and I still really love it, looking back it really should have made number 1

 

SJLT just scraping Top 40! I did really like it when it came out, it's really memorable and I think most of the people I know really like it as well - it just kind of wore off after month of airplay :(

I should have liked Something Just Like This more due to stanning Coldplay but overplayed to death on radio killed it for me :(

Yeah it's really good but it got old for me pretty quick

29-09-2017 21 Disciples - Jealousy [28-23-21-23-29-36](6)

This is certainly of the best surprise hits of the year, I don't think many people could have guessed that in the 2017 chart climate that Disciples would be able to grab another hit, but I'm so glad they did. I remember seeing this blow up on iTunes suddenly one day and being so over the moon about it, it's so unique and fresh compared to most of the other stuff in the chart today, and manages to sound so new, whilst still keeping that classic Disciples vibe. The production is so slick, and the vocals are so catchy, it should have been much much bigger than a #15 peak. A shame their follow up Jealousy wasn't quite as good, but I think it gets too much hate tbh. So hyped for their album this year and I so hope they can manage another hit (although that seems unlikely tbf)

I really love this, it's so refereshing for Avicii, and although it's so much more stripped back and chilled compared with his usual stuff, it really works so well, the production is so smooth and Rita provides amazing vocals (ofc) but I'm still not over this becoming a huge hit and Without You doing nothing :( butt I guess I can't complain too much as at least he did manage another huge hit, and a bigger one than I was expecting too, and he's helped to find a newfound love for Rita Ora that I didn't know existed! :o

I was not expecting this to be such a huge summer smash when it first came out, but I'm glad it did! It may have pretty basic production and fairly cringy lyrics but for some reason it just works, it's such a fun, upbeat summer song, but unfortunately, it's immense overplay throughout the summer months has kind of made this unlistenable for me rn, which is a shame as this is the last song I've really loved from Jonas as his recent output has been largely disappointing. Hoping he can still have a good 2018 and not fade into irrelevancy, but I feel like this is gonna end up happening

 

On My Mind appearing at around the same time for all of us :lol: Would be great if they could get another hit this year!

so, not gonna lie, I honestly could not remember how this song went like at all, but upon listening to it again, I've just realised how much of a f*cking TUNE it is. I remember just randomly scrolling through some of Selected's older releases, looking for new music, and this clicked with me instantly and I got completely hooked on it. It's got an incredibly catchy, repetitive vocal and a really great deep house production, but it seems to stand out among Selected's releases for me, for some reason. Admittedly, this probably peaked a fair bit higher than it should have but it's so so good :wub:

16-09-2017 17 Galantis - Call Me Home [18-17-21-30-39](5)

Well, this is one that really shouldn't have made number 1 tbh, it was only propelled up due to the fact that there just wasn't really much around at the time that even slightly felt #1 worthy, so this stole a week, followed by a pretty quick drop. The song really isn't bad though, it was such an inane step up from Galantis's previous singles that had all been very disappointing (Rich Boy aside which was ok). It managed to capture the classic Galantis vibe that was missing from their previous singles. It's seriously underrated and so is their album, in which the singles are probably the weakest songs on there (apart from True Feeling ofc). Such a shame they've seemed to completely lose their star power and I wonder if they're even gonna manage another hit again?? :(

24-06-2017 03 Black Saint - Never Did This Before [19-12-7-3-6-12-16-27-37](9)

This certainly deserves to be higher and definitely deserves a higher peak than 4, if there was any justice it would have nabbed a week or two at number 1, but alas, my weird early chart runs would not allow it. Everything about this song is great, the production is so deep and sublime and the vocals are so smooth and the chorus is so catchy (something Black Saint seem to do well), the drop is a tad underwhelming but the chilled, stripped back production works so so well, and the trumpets sound so nice. I remember seeing this repeatedly crop up in the lower ends of the iTunes top 100 so I was really rooting for it to be a hit, but it was not to be :( Excited to hear what's to come from them and I've heard talk about an album so I hope this is true, but I can't see them ever topping this tbh

The start of Calvin's 'Funk Wav' era, and boyyyy was it good. Though, this was quite polarizing for me at first (only really debuting at 4 cus Calvin) and I wasn't really sure about it, but once more singles started to come out I got it way more and realized it's amazingness. It's easilyyyy my favourite out of the Funk Wav singles. The production is so nice and summery and Frank Ocean actually sounds so good (:o). It's probs in my top 10 calvin songs ever now, and I can see me coming back to this for a looong time. This or Rollin' really deserved to be as huge hits as Feels tbh :/

This is honestly such a dream collab, it perfectly mixed Felix's classic chilled vibes and deep drops, and R3hab's upbeat pitched style and really creates such a beautiful song. I can see most people hating this but it works for me on so many levels. Felix Cartal is one of my favourite artists rn and he's got an album coming out soon which I'm insanely excited for, so expect to see more of him in my chart next year!

06-01-2017 14 EDEN - crash [32-25-19-14-TBC]

Speaking of dream collabs :wub: this isn't even a collab I was ever expecting to happen, but I am SO happy it did. EDEN's phenomenal vocals and Illenium's powerful production fuse together PERFECTLY to create such an amazing song. EDEN manages to capture so much emotion during the verses and build up and the drop still manages to keep that emotion but completely go off at the same time. This is easily my favourite from Awake and I still vividly remember the day this came out and I completely flipped my shit listening to it for the first time. This really is among Illenium's best, which is a very very high bar

 

Wasn't really a fan of True Feeling, liked all their singles up to Rich Boy but then they kind of went downhill :( Really like Tell Me You Love Me though :music:

 

I guess I sort-of ignored Could You Love Me at the time, annoyed at that now since it sounds great!
