December 14, 20177 yr Author Hey Lewis ! Yasss at you ending up saying Dangerous Woman should've been the EOY #1 in the end. Alongside Side to Side & Love Me Harder, I think that might be in my top three singles of hers. I've always found Into You a little overrated though tbh, it is a bop but the chorus sounds a bit clunky to me? :/ :lol: Love that top 3; mine would be Problem, Focus & One Last Time. No at Into You being overrated though, it's an anthem! :D
December 14, 20177 yr Author 2016 Re-Cap 1. Little Mix - Shout Out To My Ex bFDzhKdrN9M Does it hold up?: Yeah, this is still for me one of the best pop songs of recent times. Looking back now this was lucky to finish at #1. I didn't listen to it that much over this summer. Although I'm certainly back into now while the release of the Platinum Edition. Little Mix have had another great year in my chart, can they make it 2 years at the top? If I were to re-rank last years top 10 now, Sucker For Pain (#9), Lush Life (#8) & That's My Girl (#7) would drop out and Don't Be Nice (#11), Be Alright (#25) & Don't Like Going Places (#46) would go in. Don't Be Nice & Don't Like Going Places were at a massive disadvantage last year as they were my final 2 #1's. Edited December 20, 20195 yr by LewisGT
December 14, 20177 yr Shout Out To My Ex at #1, great choice for your best song of 2016! Also your Top 3 are all great!
December 14, 20177 yr Hi Lewis!! Yass at Be Alright sneaking in to your re-evaluated top 10, one of my favourite songs album tracks from Dangerous Woman alongside Moonlight. I do wish she had pushed it is a proper single actually as it is one of her most dreamy / smooth tracks imo :wub: I must admit I don't love SOTME as much anymore either, I was so hyped for new LM at the time but they have better pop songs like DNA/Touch/Love Me Like You imo and I really don't go back to it much :(
December 19, 20177 yr Author Shout Out To My Ex at #1, great choice for your best song of 2016! Also your Top 3 are all great! Glad you like it. Hopefully it will be the same for this years chart :lol: Hi Lewis!! Yass at Be Alright sneaking in to your re-evaluated top 10, one of my favourite songs album tracks from Dangerous Woman alongside Moonlight. I do wish she had pushed it is a proper single actually as it is one of her most dreamy / smooth tracks imo :wub: I must admit I don't love SOTME as much anymore either, I was so hyped for new LM at the time but they have better pop songs like DNA/Touch/Love Me Like You imo and I really don't go back to it much :( I would have liked 'Be Alright' to have been pushed. It is very smooth and quite unique on the album. I think the problem is that Little Mix have released so many great pop songs that it's hard to listen to them all :D
December 19, 20177 yr Author Top 5 artists of 2017 5. Watsky 2017 charting songs: 01 Going Down 01 Lovely Thing Suite: Roses 03 Exquisite Corpse (ft Dumbfoundead, Grieves, Wax, Adam Vida, Rafael Casal, Daveed Diggs & Chinaka Hodge) 03 Little Slice (ft Danny McClain) 03 Lovely Thing Suite: Knots 03 Yes Britania 04 Don't Be Nice (#1 in 2016) 04 Stick To Your Guns (ft Julia Nunes) 05 Tiny Glowing Screens Part 1 07 Lovely Thing Suite: Conversations Video kDvzjmy6UgY COMMENT: For sheer quantity, I have to give Watsky a place in my top 5 artists of the year, even though he hasn't released any new music. He decided to do a Lemonade and make videos for every single song from the 'x Infinity' album which is why they all chart sporadically. There's still more videos to release so this will continue through 2018. In fact he released a new video last night so expect that in next years countdown. Edited December 27, 20177 yr by LewisGT

After finding DNA & Salute slightly hit and miss, everything starting from Black Magic has been perfect. They seem to be the hardest workers in music at the moment, they should really have some time off. :lol: Edited December 27, 20177 yr by LewisGT
December 20, 20177 yr Not sure about Little Mix, not really a fan but Reggaeton Lento was a great Latin track!
December 20, 20177 yr I really like Little Mix this year, I like a lot of their stuff this year and even the new tracks from the Premium Edition are good!
December 21, 20177 yr Author Not sure about Little Mix, not really a fan but Reggaeton Lento was a great Latin track! It's a shame you're not a fan of Little Mix, they've became one of my faves of the past couple of years. I'd agree that Reggaeton Lento is great though :D I really like Little Mix this year, I like a lot of their stuff this year and even the new tracks from the Premium Edition are good! Yeah, the new tracks on the Platinum Edition are just as good as the rest of the album. They're really on form.
December 21, 20177 yr Author Top 5 artists of 2017 3. Kendrick Lamar 2017 charting songs: 01 Humble 02 Element 03 Love (ft Zacari) 04 Loyalty (ft Rihanna) 04 i (01 in 2014) 06 DNA Video NLZRYQMLDW4 COMMENT: Although he's had less songs in my chart this year than the artists at 4 & 5 what really separated Kendrick from them this year was the album. Damn is by far his strongest album, there's not one weak track, and his lyricism is beyond most any other current rappers. Humble has been one of the biggest singles of the year and to top it off his music videos have all been brilliant.
December 22, 20177 yr Still can't get enough of Little Mix at the moment! All of the new songs from the re-release are fabulous so they BETTER push IYLE in the New Year, has the potential to be one of their best singles yet in my opinion. I'd love to see a video for it too!! Kendrick has had a great year too, still haven't listened to the album yet but that is definitely my fault as I think I'd really enjoy it. HUMBLE is definitely his defining track of the year but I've loved DNA and LOYALTY a lot too. Getting into LOVE at the moment too now that it's taking off in the US :wub: Loving this so far Lewis!! :wub:
December 22, 20177 yr Author Good to see both Little Mix and Kendick Lamar in your top artists of 2017! Glad you're liking them :D Still can't get enough of Little Mix at the moment!

Getting into LOVE at the moment too now that it's taking off in the US :wub: Loving this so far Lewis!! :wub: I'd love IYLE as a single too but the video for Nothing Else Matters has made me appreciate that 100x more so I'd also love that to be one. You really should listen to Damn. It's unbelievable solid. I'm glad they have picked Love as a single, that was my instant highlight. :D
December 22, 20177 yr Author Top 5 artists of 2017 2. Stormzy 2017 charting songs: 01 Big For Your Boots 01 Power (Little Mix ft Stormzy) 02 Blinded By Your Grace, Pt. 2 (ft MNEK) 02 Cold 03 Cigarettes & Cush (ft Kehlani) 04 Ask Flipz (Krept & Konan ft Stormzy) 04 Bad Boys (ft Ghetts & J Hus) 06 Shape Of You (Remix) (Ed Sheeran ft Stormzy) 08 21 Gun Salute (ft Wretch 32) 08 Mr Skeng 09 Velvet / Jenny Francis Interlude 17 Don't Cry For Me (ft Raleigh Ritchie) Video jLXQHThL3FU COMMENT: Stormzy has come a long way since finishing 4th in my top 5 artists of 2015. He's been everywhere this year and has paved the way for UK urban music to become as popular as it now is. He's so reliable, every verse is solid. I can't wait to see what album 2 sounds like.
December 23, 20177 yr Little Mix have been on fire this year, great track after great track :wub: Compared to many rappers, I don't mind Stormzy actually. I really like Blinded By Your Grace Pt 2 and I grew to kinda appreciate Big For Your Boots in the end.
December 24, 20177 yr Obviously love Stormzy in your top 5, he really is right at the top of the game now which is amazing! Personally I've always found Kendrick really overrated but I'm becoming more of a fan of his after this year, HUMBLE. is a top track & this album was generally of a better quality than his last one imo.
December 24, 20177 yr Okay I have loved Stormzy this year, especially Blinded By Your Grace! Great to see that sort of stuff can still do well officially!
