My second encounter with Georgia was when she support Jungle at O2 Academy Leeds, which was the first time I heard this song. It stood out by a mile from all the other songs in her set, and I was delighted when it came out as a single. I first heard it whilst at Centre Parcs so this song always gives me good memories of that, plus it's a fab song!

This took a while to grow on me (the off-timing of the song is certainly a bit weird on first listen) but it grew to be a massive favourite of mine, a fun quirky little indie piece.

January 16, 20205 yr About Work the Dancefloor is an interesting dance song, shame this kind of dance song can't become popular these days. I'm confused. Rea Garvey represented Ireland or Germany on Eurovision?
January 18, 20205 yr "About Work The Dancefloor" is a song I start to like a lot now, it's in my top 10 this week. "Kiss Me" is a fantastic song from Rea Garvey, also I don't think Rea was at Eurovision, he was in The Voice of Germany, though.
January 18, 20205 yr Seeming that I haven't heard of almost any of your chart I decided to listen to 3 songs at random (I will try to listen to a few more soon) and here are my thoughts. Beat Of My Heart - You certainly weren't kidding when you said it was similar to 'Are You With Me' :lol: It's a nice song and the singer has an interesting voice. Nice video with a Wall.E-esque robot in it. Roll With Me - I think it's already by favourite thing Jonas Blue has ever been associated with after just one listen :D ZieZie sounds much better on this than he did on the recent Aitch song too. About Work The Dancefloor - It sounds very Robyn. The verses are decent but I don't like the chorus at all unfortunately.
January 20, 20205 yr Author About Work the Dancefloor is an interesting dance song, shame this kind of dance song can't become popular these days. I'm confused. Rea Garvey represented Ireland or Germany on Eurovision? He wasn't in Eurovision but one of his songs would have gone Top 10 if not for Eurovision. About Work The Dancefloor is a strange one, looking at the number of EOYs it's in it's clearly very popular but just not fully picking up the mainstream. Thanks Jason!

Nonetheless it intrigued me as a fan of both artists, and what we ended up with was a brilliant pop track which highlights Jack's gravelly voice even more. It remains a favourite of mine now.

This was the long-anticipated comeback single, and whilst it's not as gripping as some of the other songs on the album, it's certainly very emotional (not Too Emotional though :basil: ) and a really powerful song to return to the spotlight with.

It didn't really grab me on first listen (the intimacy in the performance was a little odd) but it immediately stood out in the recap, as my eventual favourite songs often do. It was certainly an alternative pick, and very quirky, but for me it works. The fact they changed their name to 'zalagasper' directly after their Eurovision performance is certainly very confusing also. Top 100 Chart History 2019 01 Sebi 2019 53 Come To Me 2020 93 Signals

Video RmE-Cr72qH0 Commentary Next up we have the highest charting entry from Keane. On first listen this song really didn't feel like much, it certainly lacked the punchy-ness of The Way I Feel, but I guess that that was a good thing in a way as it made me a lot more interested in this one. Turns out it's actually even better than their first single, the harmonies in it are incredible and the melody is brilliant as well.

This has been fairly high in quite a few EOYs and I can definitely see why, the twangy guitars and funky percussion in the background gives this song an incredibly jazz-esque catchy-ness to it that really makes this a favourite for clearly quite a number of people.

This would ordinarily have debuted at #1 however it was released the week after Eurovision and the same week as a very important song which is still to come, and initially I thought it would drop away quite quickly, however watching them perform at Elland Road gave them another boost and it eventually got to #1 on its 10th week in the chart (which was also the week of release of their album), a record wait! It's quite different from their other stuff, definitely some vocoder influence in there but I like it!
