December 26, 20195 yr Author Rh2uNrIgGf4 63. The xx – Say Something Loving Chart peak: 1 (5 weeks) Year: 2017 One of 3 tracks from the brilliant xx on this countdown. I wasn't so sure about this song when I first heard it, but it totally clicked along with the rest of I See You soon after - Oliver and Romy have such great voices and they go so well together. I may also have a crush on Oliver hahah
December 26, 20195 yr Author EVBsypHzF3U 62. Lady Gaga & Beyonce – Telephone Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2010 This track remains all about the video - wacky Gaga at her peak and Beyonce looking and sounding fabulous.
December 26, 20195 yr Author nP6lXODTNX8 61. M83 – Do It, Try It Chart peak: 1 (4 weeks) Year: 2016 Junk is a weird album - video game soundtracks and 80s vibes. Of course I love it! Recap 61-70: 61 M83 – Do It, Try It 62 Lady Gaga & Beyonce – Telephone 63 The xx – Say Something Loving 64 Coldplay – Magic 65 Leona Lewis – One More Sleep 66 Owl City – Fireflies 67 Jamie xx – Sleep Sound 68 Adele – Water Under The Bridge 69 Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – The Man Who Built The Moon 70 Steps – Scared Of The Dark

Louis M^ttrs – Lost & Not Found I miss when they were this good 75 Portugal.The Man – Feel It Still 76 Foster The People – Pumped Up Kicks 78 Galantis – Runaway (U & I) I also miss when they were this good! what an anthem this was. 80 Rudimental feat. Ella Eyre – Waiting All Night
December 27, 20195 yr Author qMxX-QOV9tI 60. Jessie J feat. B.o.B - Price Tag Chart peak: 1 (1 week) Year: 2011 The only really good Jessie J song, even if B.o.B. has since turned into a flat-Earther hahah
December 27, 20195 yr Author frv6FOt1BNI 59. Kylie Minogue – All The Lovers Chart peak: 1 (6 weeks) Year: 2010 Classy Kylie here, still superb 9 years on. This was the lead from the last really great Kylie album, Aphrodite. Her longest running number 1 from me for quite some time.
December 27, 20195 yr Author VPRjCeoBqrI 58. Coldplay – A Sky Full Of Stars Chart peak: 1 (7 n-c weeks) Year: 2014 Generic dance sell out? Well, I like it anyway :P Mixed by Avicii, this was a bit of a departure from the usual twinkly soft songs or mega stadium ballads and is much better than Something Like This which followed the same formula in 2017.
December 27, 20195 yr Author BS46C2z5lVE 57. Route 94 feat. Jess Glynne – My Love Chart peak: 2 Year: 2014 This banger helped cement her Sheepness Jess Glynne as a chart fixture. I think she excels as a featuring artist as her solo output is increasingly generic and dull. I wish this could have been a number 1 for me, but the competition was fierce in 2014!
December 27, 20195 yr Author kv_cwzAIOHs 56. Duke Dumont – Won’t Look Back Chart peak: 1 (3 weeks) Year: 2014 Duke Dumont was on fire in 2014, as this oh-so 90s and also a bit late 80s inspired dance track proves. It is reminiscent of Black Box in parts, and a bit of Snap. Just my thing!
December 27, 20195 yr Author bpOSxM0rNPM 55. Arctic Monkeys – Do I Wanna Know? Chart peak: 5 Year: 2013 The Arctics finally came back with an album on par with their early output - AM is probably their best album imo. This lead single should've been higher on my chart, but hindsight is a glorious thing!
December 27, 20195 yr Author DDWKuo3gXMQ 54. Adele – When We Were Young Chart peak: 1 (5 weeks) Year: 2016 Another cracker from 25. Adele is quite the feature in this countdown, and quite right too. Lets hope she returns in 2020.
December 27, 20195 yr Author QeWBS0JBNzQ 53. Lady Gaga – Edge Of Glory Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2011 By far the best track from Gaga in the 2010s and the car highlight from the patchy Born This Way.
December 27, 20195 yr Author 9MHtrM-jf9o 52. Will Young - Jealousy Chart peak: 2 Year: 2011 The highlight from Echoes, this beautiful track still resonates now. This was the last big hit for Will on the official chart, and the last big hot on my chart until his comeback this year.
December 27, 20195 yr Author z1rYmzQ8C9Q 51. Coldplay – Christmas Lights Chart peak: 1 (3 weeks) Year: 2010 Coldplay does a twinkly (then by the end a huge stadium anthem) London inspired Christmas track. The best 'modern' Christmas song, and wonderful to see it still chart even today. Recap 60-51: 51 Coldplay – Christmas Lights 52 Will Young - Jealousy 53 Lady Gaga – Edge Of Glory 54 Adele – When We Were Young 55 Arctic Monkeys – Do I Wanna Know? 56 Duke Dumont – Won’t Look Back 57 Route 94 feat. Jess Glynne – My Love 58 Coldplay – A Sky Full Of Stars 59 Kylie Minogue – All The Lovers 60 Jessie J feat. B.o.B - Price Tag
December 27, 20195 yr Author pFptt7Cargc 50. Tame Impala – Let It Happen Chart peak: 1 (1 week) Year: 2016 One of a number (4 to date) of chart toppers for me from the Australian based psychedelic rockers - and this opener from Currents is their best.
December 27, 20195 yr Author niviooakBLs 49. Years & Years – If You’re Over Me Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2018 Years & Years are so joyous - and this plinky plinky track is no exception. Love the theme of telling someone who dumped you where to get off!
December 27, 20195 yr Author cmBTusfy-EA 48. Friendly Fires – Can’t Wait Forever Chart peak: 1 (3 weeks) Year: 2019 This is the most recent track on the countdown and is classic Friendly Fires. Easily the best album track from Inflorescent and the 5th number 1 from that album for me to date.
December 27, 20195 yr Author 8UVNT4wvIGY 47. Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know Chart peak: 1 (6 n-c weeks) Year: 2012 One of the biggest hits of the 2010s continues to not age well. However, it is still an extraordinary track and is rightly in my top 50 of the decade.
December 27, 20195 yr Author Vnoz5uBEWOA 46. Kiesza – Hideaway Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2014 Well, Kiesza didn't live up to her promise did she! Still, the one take video is brilliant, and its a cracking dance song. I saw her live with Buzzjack's own Gooddelta and TomKay in London late 2014!
December 27, 20195 yr Author bhdVV58l0vA 45. Friendly Fires – Hurting Chart peak: 2 Year: 2012 Another track from the fab PALA here, one I charted a bit later than release as I sort of missed the boat with the whole album. Strange given how much I enjoyed their debut album. I've been after a vinyl copy of PALA for ages, but they are way too pricey!
