January 5, 20205 yr Author 95 = Mabel // Loneliest Time of Year = 185pts Chart Run (11-15-07-05-09-14-X) Peak = 5 Weeks on Chart = 6 Weeks (Still Charting) hVzjR6hBArE At 95 a Christmas song as Mabel’s Christmas effort managed to amass 6 weeks on the chart and 3 weeks in the top 10 to gain enough points to chart here. The song seemed to get virtually no support upon its release, but maybe it’ll get placed on a Christmas playlist in subsequent years and start charting properly. I’m guessing this wont make the 2020 EOY Chart however its good to see it make an appearance here.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 94 = 5 Seconds of Summer // Teeth = 187pts Chart Run (05-04-13-18-22-29-31-33-35-39-X-35) Peak = 4 Weeks on Chart = 11 Weeks JWeJHN5P-E8 The first of three appearance by 5 Seconds of Summer with their song Teeth. The song was instant for me and spent 2 weeks in the top 5, however then hard a pretty sharp fall down the chart and spent nearly half of it’s chart run between 31-40. Last year Youngblood was the 2nd highest song on my EOY chart and was the song that turned my attentions onto 5SOS after dismissing them for a fair number of years. However they’ve produced some quite good stuff.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 93 = Charli XCX x Troye Sivan // 1999 = 191pts Chart Run (06-09-14-16-19-23-28-30-35-39) Peak = 1 (Peaked in 2018) Weeks on Chart = 10 Weeks (in 2019) 6-v1b9waHWY Up next a song which dominated my 2018 chart for quite a number of weeks and ended up charting 15th on the 2018 EOY Chart. I’m actually surprised its managed to get so high for 2019, however 1999 is a bop and even after 2018 I was still playing this a fair bit. I love me some Troye and I think this song is great and whilst there seemed to be a bit of a thing about reminiscing about a particular year this song outshines them all. Certified Bop!
January 6, 20205 yr Author 92 = Dominic Fike // 3 Nights = 194pts Chart Run (08-07-09-12-17-20-25-36) Peak = 7 Weeks on Chart = 8 Weeks OWKzRngush4 Dominic Fike next and surprised it reached this high and whilst it did spend 3 weeks in my top 10, I don’t remember being a massive fan of it. I think it just got stuck in my head… well the chorus did anyway. Not really a song I return too, however officially it did have a monster chart run and seemed to stick around forever. Its alright, but I don’t think I would say it was in my favourites of 2019, but I guess the chart run goes against that :D
January 6, 20205 yr Author 91 = David Guetta & MORTEN ft RAYE // Make it to Heaven= 196pts Chart Run (07-09-05-08-10-11-X) Peak = 5 Weeks on Chart = 6 Weeks (Still Charting) SahRw77yvx0 Barring her appearance with Jax Jones, I’ve never really got into any RAYE songs that heavily, however Make it to Heaven bucks that trend and manages to make my EOY chart after just 6 weeks. The song is a second appearance by David Guetta and MORTEN and is also the first collab between Guetta and RAYE to make an appearance. The drop on this song is great and RAYE’s vocals work well; I usually find the majority of RAYE songs don’t really have hook to get in to. However I really like this song and I guess may make an appearance on my 2020 EOY chart.
January 6, 20205 yr Author Recap 91 = David Guetta & MORTEN ft RAYE // Make it to Heaven= 196pts 92 = Dominic Fike // 3 Nights = 194pts 93 = Charli XCX x Troye Sivan // 1999 = 191pts 94 = 5 Seconds of Summer // Teeth = 187pts 95 = Mabel // Loneliest Time of Year = 185pts 96 = Khalid // Better = 181pts 97 = FISHER // Losing It = 180pts 98 = Louis Tomlinson // Two of Us = 178pts 99 = Oliver Heldens ft Devin & Nile Rodgers // Summer Lover = 177pts 100 = Solardo ft Eli Brown // XTC = 176pts 101 = Tiesto x Mabel // God is a Dancer = 175pts 102 = Lewis Capaldi // Hold Me While You Wait = 173pts 103 = Mark Ronson ft Miley Cyrus // Nothing Breaks Like a Heart = 172pts 104 = Jonas Blue ft Theresa Rex // What I Like About You = 171pts 105 = Ariana Grande // Imagine = 171pts 106 = ZieZie ft Aitch // French Kisses = 168pts 107 = ROOKIES x New Hope Club // Paycheck = 167pts 108 = Foals // The Runner = 164pts 109 = McFly // Touch the Rain = 164pts 110 = Example // Do it So Well = 162pts 111 = Dimension ft Cameron Hayes // Devotion = 161pts 112 = Will Young // My Love = 161pts 113 = Jax Jones x Bebe Rexha // Harder = 156pts 114 = David Guetta & MORTEN ft Aloe Blacc // Never Be Alone= 154pts 115 = Freya Ridings // Castles = 152pts 116 = Rudimental ft RAY BLK & Stefflon Don // Scared of Love = 150pts 117 = Pet Shop Boys ft Years & Years // Dreamland = 148pts 118 = Billie Eilish // WHEN I WAS OLDER = 147pts 119 = Harry Styles // Adore You = 146pts 120 = Zedd x Katy Perry // 365 = 143pts 121 = Ed Sheeran ft Khalid // Beautiful People = 142pts 122 = Billie Eilish // bury a friend = 141pts 123 = McFly // Red = 141pts 124 = Sam Fender //d Play God = 138pts 125 = Sigma ft Jack Savoretti // You and Me As One = 136pts
January 6, 20205 yr Author 90 = The Weeknd // Blinding Lights = 196pts Chart Run (02-02-03-01-01-X) Peak = 1 (2 Weeks @ Number 1) Weeks on Chart = 5 Weeks (Still Charting) o6ytLPKscrU My current number 1 next as after just 5 weeks, The Weeknd manages to sneak into the top 90 after 2 weeks at number 1 and 5 weeks in total in the top 3. The song is an absolute bop and makes a change from quite a lot of the Weeknd’s output over the last few years. I’m guessing this will be even higher in my 2020 EOY chart, however its one of my fave songs at the moment and I can’t see that changing any time quickly.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 89 = Mark Ronson ft Lykke Li // Late Night Feelings = 198pts Chart Run (24-12-11-21-26-28-28-37-37-39-X-23-25-29-36) Peak = 11 Weeks on Chart = 14 Weeks OpNJTr7q1LM A monster chart run of 14 weeks for this, however the majority of its run was outside the top 20… the song even had a second wind and an extra 4 weeks on the chart, however despite its run, it only makes 89th place. This isn’t the most commercial song from Ronson’s last album, however I like it because its so different. Its Mark Ronson’s 2nd appearance with 1 more song (See U Again) still to chart. Edited January 6, 20205 yr by ElectroBoy
January 6, 20205 yr Nice to see 1999 in here! My favourite from both Troye and Charli in a long time. Giving Summer Lover a listen now, it's a really good track! That funky guitar in the chorus really suits the tropical sound of the song.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 88 = CamelPhat x Jem Cooke // Rabbit Hole = 198pts Chart Run (10-14-15-14-20-19-20-18-X) Peak = 10 Weeks on Chart = 8 Weeks (Still Charting) 09vAAk2PzcY The first appearance of CamelPhat and Jem Cooke next as Rabbit Hole manages to make the top 100 after 8 weeks on the chart in the run up to New Years. For me the song isn’t as great as Breathe… nor the majority of Camel’s other tracks, however I still like it and its slightly different to his other tracks. Its had 1 week in the top 10, however been between 14 and 20 for 7 weeks yo-yoing up and down. I doubt it will make next years chart, however still a decent song and 2 more Camel songs still to go!
January 6, 20205 yr Author Nice to see 1999 in here! My favourite from both Troye and Charli in a long time. Its definitely my fave from Charli... I became obsessed with Troye's last album, so that one would be a bit more difficult :D
January 6, 20205 yr Author 87 = David Guetta ft RAYE // Stay (Don’t Go Away) = 204pts Chart Run (08-05-09-14-20-23-27-30-35-36-40) Peak = 5 Weeks on Chart = 11 Weeks uVWlOmBqd7s What was I saying about RAYE :D this is her last appearance and also with David Guetta this time as well, who after 3 appearances also makes his last appearance. Stay managed 11 weeks on the chart and a peak of 5, however had a couple of sharp falls which saw a lot of its chart run sub 20. Stay features a sample from a Jamiroquai song and whilst I did like this at the time, its not really a song I return to all that much.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 86 = Years & Years and Jess Glynne // Come Alive = 207pts Chart Run (X-05-06-12-14-16-22-27-29-34-38) Peak = 4 (Peaked in 2018) Weeks on Chart = 10 Weeks (in 2019) qJLWttwjhlo Next a song from the re-imagined Greatest Showman soundtrack… shall we move on? This was the only song from that album that I actually liked, although my love for Years and Years may have helped somewhat. It placed 100 on my 2018 EOY chart as well… I don’t remember being that obsessed with this song, but I obviously was. To have a song from Greatest Showman on the 2019 EOY chart is a bit odd. Next…
January 6, 20205 yr Author 85 = Yves V ft Afrojack & Icona Pop // We Got That Cool = 211pts Chart Run (14-09-07-09-14-20-23-29-33) Peak = 7 Weeks on Chart = 9 Weeks 8I8QO5LYaek A funky bop next which peaked at 7 as We Got That Cool charts at 85. The song spent 3 weeks in the top 10, however just 9 weeks on the chart and I can’t help but feel this should be a bit higher as I still listen to this sometimes. The song wasn’t instant for me, however soon got stuck in my head and has an amusing video… it’s unfortunate that it didn’t really do anything officially due to streaming, however it’s a good song nonetheless.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 84 = Louis Tomlinson // Kill My Mind = 212pts Chart Run (15-23-28-33-40-36-36-16-12-16-20-26-30-34-38) Peak = 12 Weeks on Chart = 15 Weeks IzuvvjrUBEw The highest entrant from Louis Tomlinson next and the third highest song from an ex-One Direction member. The song really had 2 spells for me and initially I liked the song, before it sharply fell, however stuck around and then peaked on its 9th week on the chart at 12. Kill My Mind made 15 weeks on the chart, however over a third of that chart run was 30 or below. The song I think is fairly good and has a 90’s indie vibe which does appeal. Louis though is all over the place in terms of his output if more of it was in this vein it would be good.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 83 = Disciples x Eyelar // All Mine = 214pts Chart Run (08-06-11-16-20-24-28-26-28-33-37) Peak = 6 Weeks on Chart = 11 Weeks 9vRYvXXOu0Q At 83 another dance bop courtesy of Disciples who had 11 weeks on the chart with a peak of 6 overall. I don’t think Disciples have really bettered On My Mind, however they’ve still produced some great songs… it’s a shame however that none of them have bothered the chart officially. All Mind took some big tumbles down the chart and had most of its run outside the top 20, not a bad song but not that memorable I guess.
January 6, 20205 yr Author 82 = Anton Powers x Redondo // Make Your Move = 221pts Chart Run (03-10-13-10-14-21-23-28-31-36) Peak = 3 Weeks on Chart = 10 Weeks WNnsa1xQBaQ From one dance tune to another as Anton Powers and Redondo make an appearance with their song Make a Move which samples a Pointers Sisters song. The song charted at number 3 and in the end had 3 weeks in the top 10 and 10 weeks in total on the Electro Chart. Not a bad song, however slightly repetitive :D
January 6, 20205 yr catching up Ah I really enjoyed These Days. Scared of Love was alright but never made my chart. Castles was rather decent although I think she's better at ballads - loved Lost Without You and Waking Up. Never Be Alone rather good for David, it just missed my personal top 40. Make It To Heaven did make my top 20 briefly but I preferred his other Raye collab 'Stay' (which I see is higher here although with MITH having an incomplete run). Harder the one song of Jax's I didn't enjoy sadly. Devotion was a bit of a comedown after Desire for Dimension for me. Have you heard Black Church from him though? It made my EOY top 10 in 2018. Nothing Breaks Like a Heart I really enjoyed, one of the best pop songs of the year (2018 I know but it'll be in my 2019 chart too) God is a Dancer was great, my fave song from both acts involved for the year 2019. XTC I love, a proper dance banger - that'll be in my Top 50. I love Oliver Heldens but Summer Lover wasn't that big in my chart, he's done much better. Losing It what a tune, it made my top 100 both in 2018 and 2019. Loneliest Time of Year a decent enough Christmas effort although can't ever see it being a proper hit. 3 Nights also made my top 100 and around that position too, great track. Rabbit Hole is alright but definitely far from the greatness that was Breathe (that'll be very high up my chart) We Got That Cool another great tune, I was very surprised to see Icona Pop returning to my chart too.
January 7, 20205 yr Author 81 = Years & Years x MNEK // Valentino = 221pts Chart Run (05-07-12-15-20-19-23-27-29-34-39) Peak = 5 Weeks on Chart = 11 Weeks P321QQV-jmw Up next an anti-valentines song which was a collab between Years & Years and MNEK. The song peaked at 5 and in total had 11 weeks on the chart, I sort of wish it had done more as I returned to it quite heavily later in the year and think it deserves more. MNEK seems to have the anti-midas touch when it comes to the charts when he has his name as the singer and this officially did nothing. Still a fun video and you’ve got to love a bit of Years & Years (Or is that just me?)
January 7, 20205 yr Author catching up Rabbit Hole is alright but definitely far from the greatness that was Breathe (that'll be very high up my chart) Thanks for commenting... yeah Breathe is still to come :D (and Be Someone for CamelPhat too)
