December 29, 20195 yr Author hXTAn4ELEwM 26. Years & Years – Shine Chart peak: 1 (3 weeks) Year: 2015 King was amazing - this however is on another level altogether. Superb.
December 29, 20195 yr Author rYEDA3JcQqw 25. Adele – Rolling In The Deep Chart peak: 1 (1 week) Year: 2011 When Adele returned with this in 2011, you knew she had already outpaced Duffy. BAM! Robbed of an Official Chart number 1 and ease;y one of the best number 2's ever.
December 29, 20195 yr Author m-M1AtrxztU 24. Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne – Rather Be Chart peak: 1 (4 weeks) Year: 2014 Slightly ruined now by M&S food adverts, this is still an utter classic and rightfully kick started the huge careers of both Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne (and almost the best thing both have done).
December 29, 20195 yr Author qemWRToNYJY 23. Adele – Someone Like You Chart peak: 1 (8 weeks) Year: 2011 In one of the TV moments of the decade, Adele gave a career defining performance of Someone Like You at the Brit Awards in 2011. She went stratospheric after that and rightly so.
December 29, 20195 yr Author ghb6eDopW8I 22. Of Monsters And Men – Little Talks Chart peak: 1 (6 n-c weeks) Year: 2012 This song couldn't be any more up my street if it tried! HEY!
December 29, 20195 yr Author 6c-RbGZBnBI 21. Röyksopp & Robyn – Monument Chart peak: 1 (3 weeks) Year: 2014 There is something other-worldly about this song. Happy memories of a trip to Barcelona back in 2014. Recap 30-21: 21 Röyksopp & Robyn – Monument 22 Of Monsters And Men – Little Talks 23 Adele – Someone Like You 24 Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne – Rather Be 25 Adele – Rolling In The Deep 26 Years & Years – Shine 27 Jamie xx – Girl 28 Disclosure feat. Eliza Doolittle – You & Me 29 Adele – Set Fire To The Rain 30 Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – It’s A Beautiful World
December 30, 20195 yr Shine is one of my favourites from Years and Years, such a powerful song! Little Talks was a fab song of the moment as well, and Rather Be was a brilliant breakthrough from Clean Bandit. Giving Monument a listen now, quite different to what I'm used to hearing from Royksopp but a very strong chilled-out track (and I appreciate the instrumentation towards the end also)

Giving Monument a listen now, quite different to what I'm used to hearing from Royksopp but a very strong chilled-out track (and I appreciate the instrumentation towards the end also) Thanks for the comments so far (and thanks to RFC, Chez and Dan as well!). Glad you have had a listen of something you haven't heard before.
December 30, 20195 yr Author aatr_2MstrI 20. Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson – Symphony Chart peak: 1 (4 weeks) Year: 2019 Starting off the top 20 is Clean Bandit's best song which is only enhanced by the lovely Zara Larsson.
December 30, 20195 yr Author dX3k_QDnzHE 19. M83 – Midnight City Chart peak: 1 (1 week) Year: 2012 What a tune! It's so 80s rock with a bit of 2010s synth.
December 30, 20195 yr Author 65_cgr4PJFk 18. Friendly Fires – Hawaiian Air Chart peak: 1 (1 week) Year: 2012 I was a bit late to PALA, but the wait was worth it - Friendly Fires are just so chirpy and upbeat!
December 30, 20195 yr Author BQeMxWjpr-Y 17. Coldplay – Midnight Chart peak: 1 (1 week) Year: 2015 Literally just found out this was a sample and just the lyrics are Coldplay (thanks Chez). That does kind of take something away from how groundbreaking this is, but it remains a welcome departure for the band and I love it.
December 30, 20195 yr Author F90Cw4l-8NY 16. Bastille – Pompeii Chart peak: 1 (5 weeks) Year: 2013 I went to Pompeii in 2017, and Bastille and their Gregorian chants were sadly absent :(
December 30, 20195 yr Author q-gLRp5bSpw 15. Adele – Skyfall Chart peak: 1 (3 n-c weeks) Year: 2012 The amazing mix of Adele and James Bond, giving easily the best Bond theme since Goldeneye (and the best Bond film since as well). Take note, Sam Smith!
December 30, 20195 yr Author bcnWysA9gxo 14. Loreen – Euphoria Chart peak: 1 (5 n-c weeks) Year: 2012 The best Eurovision winner almost ever. 12 points!
December 30, 20195 yr Author NGyL80MHtps 13. Jake Bugg – How Soon The Dawn Chart peak: 1 (3 weeks) Year: 2017 This beautiful song was so unexpected from Jake Bugg after his previous Oasis soundalike album.
December 30, 20195 yr Author ZCTDKLjdok4 12. Bastille – Of The Night Chart peak: 1 (3 weeks) Year: 2013 Mixing Rhythm is a Dancer and Rhythm of the Night. Could this BE any more 90s?!
December 30, 20195 yr Author lmc21V-zBq0 11. Woodkid – Run Boy Run Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2012 The best BJSC entry ever! Was also promoted around the Olympics, not missing a trick. Recap 20-11: 11 Woodkid – Run Boy Run 12 Bastille – Of The Night 13 Jake Bugg – How Soon The Dawn 14 Loreen – Euphoria 15 Adele – Skyfall 16 Bastille – Pompeii 17 Coldplay – Midnight 18 Friendly Fires – Hawaiian Air 19 M83 – Midnight City 20 Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson – Symphony
December 30, 20195 yr Midnight's sample was a mystery to me too until I looked on it's wiki page! :o It is still a really interesting change of pace for them, I'd definitely rank it amongst their best (that whole Ghost Stories era was excellent for singles even if I didn't like the album as much). Love Run Boy Run as well :wub:
December 31, 20195 yr my faves from 11-60 12 Bastille – Of The Night 14 Loreen – Euphoria definitely the best eurovision song of the decade, and for me ever 15 Adele – Skyfall 16 Bastille – Pompeii 17 Coldplay – Midnight 19 M83 – Midnight City 20 Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson – Symphony think I'd rank this just above Rather Be as well, both are truly excellent tracks 21 Röyksopp & Robyn – Monument 22 Of Monsters And Men – Little Talks 23 Adele – Someone Like You 24 Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne – Rather Be 25 Adele – Rolling In The Deep 26 Years & Years – Shine 28 Disclosure feat. Eliza Doolittle – You & Me 29 Adele – Set Fire To The Rain 33 Röyksopp feat. Susanne Sundfør - Running To The Sea 36 Years & Years – King 37 Sigma feat. Paloma Faith – Changing 40 Secondcity – I Wanna Feel 42 Sigala & Becky Hill – Wish You Well 46 Kiesza – Hideaway 47 Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 50 Tame Impala – Let It Happen 51 Coldplay – Christmas Lights 53 Lady Gaga – Edge Of Glory 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 60 Jessie J feat. B.o.B - Price Tag in particular Clean Bandit x2, Bastille, Gotye, Kiesza and Route 94 - all should be making my top 100.
