January 7, 20187 yr an icy cool banger, try to not get this chorus lodged in your head: 0l9kzS_B7ggwhat the- THIS SOUNDS LIKE DJ MUSTARD
January 7, 20187 yr Some nice tracks here! On My Mind is one of my favourite UK Top 40 entries this year, so glad they could get another hit after They Don't Know :heart: Good Morning could possibly be my favourite Grouplove track? Although I do love Ways to Go so maybe not :P
January 8, 20187 yr Author 60 MUNA I Know A Place 59 Mura Masa feat. Christine & The Queens Second 2 None 58 Confidence Man Boyfriend (Repeat) 57 Amber Coffman No Coffee 56 Jens Lekman To Know Your Mission 55 Danny L Harle 1UL 54 St. Vincent Pills 53 Lana Del Rey Love 52 Oh Wonder My Friends 51 K.I.D feat. CupcaKke Boy a charming pop soul tune from former Dirty Projectors girl Amber, with a highly amusing and corny video aIZWQ53KS6s Oh Wonder took on a brighter and fuller sound on the main singles, it's the tender ballad My Friends that hits the spot most for me though! 1ypofGDdHpo
January 9, 20187 yr Author 50 Miley Cyrus Malibu 49 J Balvin & Willy William Mi Gente 48 Stormzy Big For Your Boots 47 Charli XCX Boys 46 Kendrick Lamar DNA. 45 ionnalee Not Human 44 Robin Bengtsson I Can't Go On 43 Fazerdaze Lucky Girl 42 Fickle Friends Hello Hello 41 Ariel Pink Time To Live the yammy train rolls on in solo form, this thunderous track has been a high point leading up to the 2018 album: 2Xdov_B-cQg Fickle Friends' standout single to date, it handed Trifoski a top 5 placing in BJFestivalen (let that one sink in) aRWo7qMWxf8
January 10, 20187 yr Big For Your BEWTS *.* Nice to see Stormzy starting off the year in style! Mi Gente is amazing also, great to see it go Top 5 without a celebrity feature! let's pretend the Beyoncé version doesn't exist
January 11, 20187 yr Author 40 TR/ST Bicep 39 Jax Jones feat. RAYE You Don't Know Me 38 HMLTD To The Door 37 Sigrid Strangers 36 Lorde Green Light 35 N.E.R.D & Rihanna Lemon 34 Kesha Praying 33 Everything Everything Can't Do 32 Sir Sly High 31 alt-J 3WW Sigrid! the young budding pop singer from Norway got off to a good start, but Strangers was when we got into Really Damn Good Tune territory. a double chorus of sorts certainly always helps cIriwVhRPVA the little known Sir Sly pulled a delicious drug-induced alt. pop trick out the hat this year, it hits those euphoric highs at all the right points. Fans of Foster The People's Torches album may appreciate this one a lot qIOaU7Sm-ZE
January 11, 20187 yr My favs: 70 Disciples On My Mind 64 Rita Ora Anywhere 50 Miley Cyrus Malibu 49 J Balvin & Willy William Mi Gente 39 Jax Jones feat. RAYE You Don't Know Me 37 Sigrid Strangers 36 Lorde Green Light Some really great songs in this bunch and some of them among my favorites of the year! On My Mind, Mi Gente, You Don't Know Me and Strangers make me want to dance my ass off, Green Light was an amazing return for Lorde, Malibu was a nice new direction for Miley and Anywhere is among Rita's best ever!
January 11, 20187 yr Excellent to see “Green Light” and “3WW” here - both were #1s for me in 2017. Also loving TR/ST, Sigrid, Everything Everything, Stormzy, Charli XCX, ionnalee, MUNA, Mura Masa/Christine and the Queens, Confidence Man, Lana Del Rey, Arcade Fire and Disciples. I really don't know what will be your #1 so am excited to find out. : )
January 12, 20187 yr Author 30 St. Vincent Los Ageless 29 Django Django Tic Tac Toe 28 King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Rattlesnake 27 Danny Brown Ain't It Funny 26 Selena Gomez Bad Liar 25 Sofi Tukker Fuck They 24 The Horrors Something To Remember Me By 23 Lido feat. THEY. Not Enough 22 Dutch Uncles Oh Yeah 21 Jens Lekman What's That Perfume That You Wear? Perhaps the craziest hip hop track in recent memory, with the thudding industrial beat and the weird blaring sax refrain that kicks it off. We got a suitably deranged yet goofy music video to firmly establish the song's message. seriously check this amazing shit out: 7L4JnAuW00k carrying on from Hands To Myself, Selena really found the key to doing sparse, minimal pop - use a Talking Heads melody! super sleak and irresistible, too much to ask for more of this? NZKXkD6EgBk
January 14, 20187 yr 24 The Horrors Something To Remember Me By :wub: :wub: :wub: Excellent to see St Vincent, Django Django, Danny Brown, Sofi Tukker and Dutch Uncles here. Strongest ten yet!
January 15, 20187 yr Author 20 MGMT Little Dark Age 19 LINES Weekends 18 Kendrick Lamar HUMBLE. 17 Rex Orange County feat. Benny Sings Loving Is Easy 16 Carly Rae Jepsen Cut To The Feeling BITCH BE HUMBLE the cold winter months need some cold gloomy synthwavey pop stuff, and MGMT complied with their return single! my favourite bjsc discovery courtesy of Cor Lupus, a raucous ode to the weekend from former winners LINES i finally picked up on Rex Orange County once this charming slice of easy-listening soul pop landed. really like the other stuff i've heard, he's already knocked out two albums in 2017 so plenty of catching up to do! the new Carly Slay album hasn't arrived yet but the ruthless burst of joy that is Cut To The Feeling was enough to tide me over, if this is the E•MO•TION offcuts quality when they better give us the rest! 39IU7ADaXmQ Qlsu7RhOnsQ
January 15, 20187 yr Lot's of great songs, especially in your Top 40 (so far!) :wub: You Don't Know Me, Strangers, f*** They, Green Light, Lemon, Loving Is Easy, and of course Humble are all really great songs :wub: I'm significantly less bothered about Carly Rae Jepsen though :P Red Orange Country has had quite the year now hasn't he! Brilliant placing in the BBC's Sound of 2018 too, 2nd only to Sigrid who was a deserving winner. I was quite surprised to see Khalid there, considering he's had (I think) 3 Top 20 hits in 2017, two of which were Top 10 :lol: Looking forward to the next 15!
January 15, 20187 yr Love You Don't Know Me! About on the same level as House Work for me but will certainly be high up in my EOY! Nice to see The Horrors here as well - another song that's really memorable
January 17, 20187 yr Castle On The Hill is my favourite track from his Divide album.Magnolia ("In New York, I milly rock. Hide it in my sock.")Wall Of Glass is a brilliant song. Have to get the etched 7" from HMV's online store someday now that I have equipped a card in my inventory.Sign Of The Times is magnificent, and has a great video to accompany it (with Harry floating in the sky). Two Ghosts and Kiwi are two other great tracks.Machine and Something To Remember Me By are some brilliant tracks from the brainchild of Faris Badwan in the form of The Horrors. I also loved Faris' collab with Hercules And Love Affair called "Controller", which reminded me of The Chemical Brothers a bit. I have copies of Primary Colours and Skying on CD and I have to get that Strange House vinyl with the bonus 7", as well as their new album.I have Everything Now on orange 12". It's a pretty good track. I also have Funeral, Neon Bible and The Suburbs on CD and I might want to get those coloured 12" EPs that are coming on Friday (if I have enough dough).Blood Under My Belt is a great song. I remember back in June 2010 when the channel VIVA (remember when we switched between 18 and 21 to see music videos) was hyping up The Drums and showing music videos for Forever And Ever Amen and Let's Go Surfing (the latter I got as an iTunes Single Of The Week back in October 2009.)Night Of The Long Knives, Run For Cover, City Lights, Another Weekend, Loving Life, On My Mind, Anywhere, Pills, Big For Your Boots, DNA, Hello Hello, To The Door, Strangers, Green Light, Lemon ("Wait a minute!"), Malibu, Praying, Can't Do, 3WW, Tic Tac Toe, Los Ageless, Oh Yeah and Loving Is Easy are some other good listens.Rockstar I'm not very fond of. I do quite like I Fall Apart and White Iverson though.Big Fish. "I was up late night balling!". Also, in one of the verses, Staples references the chorus to Norf Norf. Did you hear about the mum that was upset by the lyrics of Norf Norf?Did you know Mi Gente sampled a song by Willy William called "Voodoo Song"?You Don't Know Me ("We can throw shapes together, but that doesn't mean you're in my circle." LOL)High is another great alternative track. I discovered it through ARTV's Best Music Videos of 2017.Rattlesnake: Flying Microtonal Banana is one of my favourites from King Gizzard. Love the microtonal sound (especially the intervals smaller than semitone)Ain't It Funny: I have Atrocity Exhibition on deluxe pink vinyl. I found it in a record store in Greece and paid 36 euros for it, along with a yellow 7" of Circa Waves' Stuck In My Teeth.Little Dark Age is good. I have a CD copy of Oracular Spectacular.HUMBLE: "MY LEFT STROKE JUST WENT VIRAL!" Right stroke put baby in a spiral!" -mPw174m0VE
January 18, 20187 yr Great to see Rex Orange County - that has only just charted this week actually as I only discovered it from the BBC Sound of 2018 list. Also absolutely love MGMT of course!
January 18, 20187 yr Author 15 HAIM Little Of Your Love 14 Spoon Hot Thoughts 13 Superorganism Something For Your M.I.N.D. 12 Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug Havana 11 Bleachers Don't Take The Money the Days Are Gone singles had a magic that would be hard to capture, they arguably managed it with the twangy ultra-loveable Little Of Your Love! Spoon came back with ~hot thoughts~ on their mind, suitably reflected on this lead single ~~~ Something For Your MOOOOIIIIND was the first statement from Superorganism, quite an intoxicating listen with its deadpan vocals and unorthodox stop-start chorus *_._* After Camila departed Fifth Harmony (often being touted as the 'breakout star') i was waiting to see what the deal was. And soon enough we got Havana (Ooh Na Na), with its ominous piano chimes, smooth salsa vibe and sticky hooks - the stage was officially set! nothing but good old infectious indie pop from Bleachers :dance: even tho i kinda miss fun. i don't mind much if Jack Antonoff and his crew are giving us stuff this good D6KFBFg5q1Y RPS-Cq4uMFs
January 20, 20187 yr I did like Don't Take The Money, quite a slow burner though so never made any impact in my Personal Chart Something For Your MIND has spent a couple of weeks in the bottom half tenth of my chart recently, there's something pretty infectious about it!
January 21, 20187 yr Author 10 Calvin Harris feat. Pharrell, Katy Perry & Big Sean Feels Calvin kicked off his year in a blaze of glory (with a track yet to come), and decided to take over the summer with "Feels" and its killer nu disco groove. it also brought Sir Pharrell back onto our radios which is always a good thing ozv4q2ov3Mk
