December 31, 20195 yr Author 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: I still feel slightly cheated by not knowing it was a huge sample - not sure why! Ghost Stories was the best Coldplay album of the last decade - I don’t rate their albums as a whole that highly since X&Y.
December 31, 20195 yr Author 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. Thanks for the comment Dan, I’ll try and comment on yours in the next few days.
December 31, 20195 yr Author YQHsXMglC9A 10. Adele – Hello Chart peak: 1 (4 n-c weeks) Year: 2015 What a comeback! From the little teaser in a X factor ad break to its dominance worldwide, this was everywhere when I went to New York and takes me right back to a crisp cold Big Apple instantly.
December 31, 20195 yr Author 93ASUImTedo 9. Disclosure feat. Sam Smith – Latch Chart peak: 3 Year: 2012 The debut hit on my chart for both Disclosure and Sam Smith, this really should've been a number 1 for me - though what a grower! This isn't the only Sam Smith track in my top 10, they went on to bigger and better things. Though I much prefer their dance collaborations to the ballads.
December 31, 20195 yr Author FHCYHldJi_g 8. Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones – I Got U Chart peak: 1 (1 week) Year: 2014 The follow up to the excellent 'I Need U (100%)' this summery Whitney sampled track far outpaced its predecessor. By far the best song from the Duke and was a welcome introduction to Jax Jones.
December 31, 20195 yr Author btBSxtKzF6Q 7. Röyksopp & Robyn – Do It Again Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2014 This was so instant for me. A perfect blend of both Röyksopp & Robyn - the song really gets going after the bridge at 03:54 and the production goes through the roof!
December 31, 20195 yr Author blJKoXWlqJk 6. The xx – On Hold Chart peak: 1 (7 weeks) Year: 2016 Another instant classic for me - and I love the inclusivity in the video. Plus Oliver - phowarr!
December 31, 20195 yr Author JRfuAukYTKg 5. David Guetta feat. Sia – Titanium Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2011 Am I glad that Guetta kept Sia as the vocalist for this, his best ever song. For the second decade in a row, my decade end top 5 has a Sia feature :D
December 31, 20195 yr Author XkeIwhKIi84 4. Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams - Get Lucky Chart peak: 1 (6 weeks) Year: 2013 A dream mix of the ever excellent Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams and funky disco from Nile Rodgers. Quite rightly one of the biggest hits of the 2010s.
December 31, 20195 yr Author 3O1_3zBUKM8 3. Naughty Boy feat. Sam Smith – La La La Chart peak: 1 (2 weeks) Year: 2013 What an utter tune! By far the best Sam Smith feature. I originally thought the video was a South American version of the Wizard of Oz (Tin man, Scarecrow and Lion), but this is apparently the real meaning: For those who do not know what this is all about. The video is based on an old Bolivian legend. In the legend, a little deaf child had the power to know the problems of others, and could cure her voice. She left her abusive home and found a stray dog to keep him company. As he lived in the street, he met an old man who cried and stoned by others in the village. The child uses his power to heal the heart of man, and continue traveling together. Then they meet a man who is disfigured and rejected by society. The child uses his voice again and find that man is really a prophet who was cursed by the devil, the statue that is the end of the video. Anyone who can hear El Diablo immediately falls under its control. Only that can be found beyond the desert, so the group travels to see it. They find the cave where the devil lives, but the two men and the dog can not enter. If they do, will fall under control The Devil. So the child is alone. Because he is deaf, can not hear the devil. He stayed in that cave, and uses his voice to drown the devil, so no one would get hurt by him again.
December 31, 20195 yr Author 1G4isv_Fylg 2. Coldplay – Paradise Chart peak: 1 (10 n-c weeks) Year: 2011 This was so close to being my song of the decade, and is my favourite Coldplay song by quite a margin. Plus, I love the elephant costumed video. Also, this is the longest running number 1 on my chart ever!
December 31, 20195 yr Author TP9luRtEqjc 1. Jamie xx feat. Romy – Loud Places Chart peak: 1 (6 weeks) Year: 2015 This reminds me of sitting in Berlin's Unter Den Linden having a chilled out coffee. Wonderful music for wonderful memories. Jamie and Romy's voices go so well, they should so form a band or something :P A worthy winner for the decade! Recap 10-1: 1 Jamie xx feat. Romy – Loud Places 2 Coldplay – Paradise 3 Naughty Boy feat. Sam Smith – La La La 4 Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams - Get Lucky 5 David Guetta feat. Sia – Titanium 6 The xx – On Hold 7 Röyksopp & Robyn – Do It Again 8 Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones – I Got U 9 Disclosure feat. Sam Smith – Latch 10 Adele – Hello
December 31, 20195 yr Excellent #1, it will definitely feature VERY highly in my chart of the 2010s. Great also to see Disclosure, the xx, Röyksopp/Robyn and Daft Punk in what is a phenomenally strong Top 10!

January 2, 20205 yr I think I've heard your #1 before but giving another listen now, quite a nice track, the vocals and instrumentation are musically very good.

January 4, 20205 yr Good to see 'Midnight' in the top 20. I'd started to tire of Coldplay but that was such a great change of direction. I'd probably rank it in my top 5 songs of theirs now. Your top 7 are all varying levels of fab. A great number pair of number ones, the album is stunning and 'Loud Places' is definitely my favourite thing on it.
