#20 Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes

 

It was a great to see an old rock band returning to their roots and making a relative success around the world in 2018. High Hopes peaked at #12 in the UK charts and they also had another UK top 40 (their version of The Greatest Show reached #39 last November). Hopefully they don't disappear this year.

 

Baby Shark really? :lol:

 

Really love Panic Room and These Days so far!

Baby Shark really? :lol:

Yeah, I really love Baby Shark. It's a modern Bob The Builder, but much more crazy. :lol:

#19 Liam Payne & J Balvin - Familiar

 

The best 2018 song from a former One Direction member imo. The song has a catchy beat and makes me want to dance haha. :P

 

 

panic room slaps!

panic room slaps!

I should have put it on my top 20. :P

#18 Shawn Mendes - In My Blood

 

It wasn't a massive year for Shawn Mendes, but the prince of pop released this pop banger. That song has beautiful lyrics, I think he's pretty amazing for being so talented at such a young age.

 

#17 Charli XCX ft Troye Sivan - 1999

First Troye UK top 20 and Charli does look sexy in that video. The video is very funny because I like to see both representing 1999 acts there. :P

 

High Hopes! A fantastic release from Panic! that definitely gave them some long deserved chart success. It will be appearing nice and high in my countdown too

 

Shawn Mendes pretty much solidified himself in the industry with In My Blood, it’s not as in your face as most of his previous hit singles but this showed that he isn’t just another basic pop guy (see Justin Bieber and Troye Sivan x)

High Hopes deserves to be in every decent list of the best 2018 songs. :P

 

I think I agree with you about Troye Sivan but calling Justin Bieber just a basic pop guy doesn't look fair to me.

Thanks Dexton ^_^

#16 Billie Eilish - When The Party's Over

 

The seventeen-year-old girl had a brilliant 2018. Her style and particularly her languid :P vocals reminds me of Lana del Rey and that's a good thing obviously.

Please show me more this year little baby. :dance:

1999 was surprisingly catchy, my favourite from either of them I think! Nice to see TOOTIME and Strangers in your bubbling under as well.

TOOTIME is my second fave 1975 song. Chocolate is unbeatable you know. :wub:

It was fantastic to see a norwegian girl (Sigrid) getting a UK top 10 hit in 2018. :o :dance:

Thanks Pete

#15 Calvin Harris & Sam Smith - Promises

Well, Calvin Harris & Sam Smith working together was one of the easiest ways to make money quickly in 2018 pop history.

The video is a bit 'too much' imo, but the song is amazing. Good job guys.

 

 

 

#14 Jonas Blue - Rise ft. Jack & Jack

The british DJ celebrated his third year in a row with massive hits in the UK charts. Rise managed impressive 16 weeks in the UK top 40 and I'm not yet bored of it. So catchy and fun. :P

#13 Dua Lipa - IDGAF

 

The hyped pop girl deserves all the success she's gotten and more. IDGAF is not as good as Dua's 2017 masterpiece New Rules but it's brilliant too.

 

#12 Dynoro & Gigi D’Agostino - In My Mind

 

One of the most surprising UK hits last year. This amazing dance track spent several months in my mind :angel: in 2018.

 

#11 Dean Lewis - Be Alright

 

The poor aussie guy has peaked at #11 on both UK charts and my personal chart of the year. :cry: One of the best lyrics and male vocals released in 2018 imo.

Not sure if Dean is the highest Australian act in this chart though. ;)

Really love Promises, still not bored of it even with his new single coming out.
