August 4, 20195 yr Only voted in the final for Listen To The Man out of the songs so far. I'm guessing most of the older songs (Tiny Dancer etc.) didn't make it this high
August 4, 20195 yr Author 28. Royal Blood ~ Figure It Out jhgVu2lsi_k Year charted: 2015 [originally 2014] Official chart peak: #43 Sales chart peak: #36 Points scored in final: 111 Group position: 1st Points scored in group: 123 Royal Blood became one of the biggest new bands of the year with a #1 album and this song which became their highest charting single. 27. Axwell /\ Ingrosso ~ Sun Is Shining nbXgHAzUWB0 Year charted: 2015 Official chart peak: #56 Sales chart peak: #37 Points scored in final: 114 Group position: 4th Points scored in group: 89 Following the split of Swedish House Mafia two of the members made their own group, with this becoming one of their biggest hits in Europe but sadly not doing too much here.
August 4, 20195 yr Author 26. LP ~ Lost On You hn3wJ1_1Zsg Year charted: 2017 Official chart peak: DNC Sales chart peak: #39 Points scored in final: 115 Group position: 5th Points scored in group: 64 Another big European hit, but not given much of a UK push outside of Radio 2 and I think a TV appearance which put it in the sales top 40. Could've been big with a Spotify push. 25. KEiiNO ~ Spirit in the Sky Ovt7YGHAj8I Year charted: 2019 Official chart peak: #61 Sales chart peak: #07 Points scored in final: 119 Group position: 3rd Points scored in group: 90 The British public's favourite of the latest Eurovision which quickly made its way into the iTunes top 10 after the show but of course didn't do too well on streaming.
August 4, 20195 yr I wish Spirit in The Sky was the highest Eurovision entry, but I think Fuego is still to come. :drama:
August 4, 20195 yr Lost on You is so good, could easily have done a 3 Nights with a proper Spotify push that never had... too bad, LP is great and it didn't even make the top 100? big boo UK people :/ Edited August 4, 20195 yr by Bjork
August 4, 20195 yr Author 24. Alice Merton ~ No Roots PUdyuKaGQd4 Year charted: 2018 Official chart peak: #52 Sales chart peak: #15 Points scored in final: 119 Group position: 5th Points scored in group: 77 Another European smash but misalignment of its radio and Spotify push seemed to kill its chances of going top 40. 23. Antony & The Johnsons ~ Hope There's Someone LyMGEq82uL4 Year charted: 2016 [originally 2005] Official chart peak: #44 Sales chart peak: #24 Points scored in final: 120 Group position: 4th Points scored in group: 70 This song, which was also covered on Avicii's debut album 'True', was briefly brought back to the chart following a performance by The Voice contestants, having peaked at #44 upon its original release.
August 4, 20195 yr Author 22. Henry Krinkle ~ Stay 1Rv6KCBI3vg Year charted: 2014 Official chart peak: #41 Sales chart peak: #23 Points scored in final: 120 Group position: 2nd Points scored in group: 91 Another deep house track which was seemingly randomly given a Radio 1 push, but unfortunately streaming was starting to have a real effect on these types of songs at this point and it just missed the top 40. 21. CLiQ feat. Alika ~ Wavey 7CaoWNLRSqs Year charted: 2018 Official chart peak: #44 Sales chart peak: #33 Points scored in final: 121 Group position: 8th Points scored in group: 63 One of my favourite tracks of last year, it looked like it was going to eventually make the top 40 at some point after a lengthy climb but unfortunately stalled just outside.
August 4, 20195 yr Author 20. Martin Solveig feat. Sam White ~ « +1 » -uRi_xo92VE Year charted: 2015 Official chart peak: #51 Sales chart peak: #25 Points scored in final: 121 Group position: 2nd Points scored in group: 89 Following a big hit with 'Intoxicated' Martin Solveig unfortunately struggled to get a follow-up with this underperforming, though he eventually did get another hit with 'Places' in 2017. 19. Sub Focus & Dimension ~ Desire M3ccJEj6-Ag Year charted: 2019 Official chart peak: #51 Sales chart peak: #26 Points scored in final: 121 Group position: 4th Points scored in group: 66 Most of us weren't expecting Sub Focus to get a hit in 2019 but 'Desire' stuck around in the lower reaches of the chart for a short while, out-living some of his former top 40 hits too. A great result but if only it could've climbed just a little bit further to get drum n' bass back in the top 40 after literal years.
August 4, 20195 yr Anthony & The Johnsons - Hope there's Someone that got my max points, one of the most beautiful songs in the history of music, from one of the best albums ever, I am a Bird Now a very haunting song written from the guts and sung from the guts, you can almost feel the pain in the way Anthony sings and plays/hits the piano in the final coda of there song... not many songs are capable of transmitting so much raw emotion
August 4, 20195 yr Author 18. Eleni Foureira ~ Fuego vyDTbJ4wenY Year charted: 2018 Official chart peak: #64 Sales chart peak: #27 Points scored in final: 122 Group position: 5th Points scored in group: 70 One of Buzzjack's favourite Eurovision entries ever and the highest one in this rundown, but to the surprise of some of you doesn't even reach anywhere near the top 10! 17. CHVRCHES ~ Get Away zM0O1Pqjvuw Year charted: 2014 Official chart peak: #52 Sales chart peak: #29 Points scored in final: 123 Group position: 3rd Points scored in group: 87 Serving as the comeback for CHVRCHES for their second era, streaming wasn't kind to them especially for the time (29-52 being one of the biggest drops for 2014). They finally got a proper hit this year however by collabing with Marshmello.
August 4, 20195 yr 19. Sub Focus & Dimension ~ Desire Most of us weren't expecting Sub Focus to get a hit in 2019 but 'Desire' stuck around in the lower reaches of the chart for a short while, out-living some of his former top 40 hits too. A great result but if only it could've climbed just a little bit further to get drum n' bass back in the top 40 after literal years. I wonder if Modestep was the last one?
August 4, 20195 yr +1 and Desire :wub: And I wasn't expecting to see Get Away so high, still one of my fave CHVRCHES songs!
August 4, 20195 yr 18. Eleni Foureira ~ Fuego Year charted: 2018 Official chart peak: #64 Sales chart peak: #27 Points scored in final: 122 Group position: 5th Points scored in group: 70 One of Buzzjack's favourite Eurovision entries ever and the highest one in this rundown, but to the surprise of some of you doesn't even reach anywhere near the top 10! To be honest I was surprised to see some Fuego haters here. 6 negative points I think. :unsure:
August 4, 20195 yr Author I wonder if Modestep was the last one? Sigma still had hits in 2016 (Cry and Find Me), I think those are the last DnB hits (if Find Me even counts as DnB).
August 4, 20195 yr Author 16. Ellie Goulding ~ Something In The Way You Move D0_GWTy9FEM Year charted: 2015 Official chart peak: #51 Sales chart peak: #31 Points scored in final: 124 Group position: 6th Points scored in group: 53 Released as a promotional single here but proper single in the US, this never got a real push here so never got the chance to better its #51 peak. 15. Jamie xx feat. Romy ~ Loud Places TP9luRtEqjc Year charted: 2015 Official chart peak: #62 Sales chart peak: #40 Points scored in final: 125 Group position: 2nd Points scored in group: 84 Released from Jamie xx's solo album with guest vocals from Romy also of The xx, this gained the most traction of his solo material.
August 4, 20195 yr Sigma still had hits in 2016 (Cry and Find Me), I think those are the last DnB hits (if Find Me even counts as DnB). Songs with Birdy and Take That being the last DnB hits in the UK :lol:
