July 11, 20205 yr These Days too low :( All I Am far too high x Remember I Told You is a bop :wub: "0 - T-Boy" appearing in almost every result - legit what's the point? :')
July 11, 20205 yr All I Am is just all of Jess’ songs combined into one. It sounds exactly like you would expect a Jess Glynne song to sound, there’s nothing exciting about it. Remember I Told You and Then are underrated bops!
July 11, 20205 yr That Nick Jonas song gave me Casio demos for my nerve! All okay-ish there apart from All I Am.
July 11, 20205 yr 'Do It Right' is so low :( That should be top 10 in this rate tbh. 'These Days' and 'Remember I Told You' are bops. The former is over played, but agreed with Lew in that it's cute at what it tries to be. Pulling for a Rather Be win! But I wouldn't mind 'Rockabye' winning either :wub:
July 11, 20205 yr Author #14 - Jess Glynne 'Hold My Hand' (Avg. 6.125) High Scores: (10 - Nina West, T-Boy, Chapman, Dan-G 9 - divathinmuffin, Tawdry Hepburn, George.keh, Bre, Klaus, vibe, Riser) Low Scores: (-1 - Cameron) cLyUcAUMmMY If you don’t know this song, please come out from under your rock! The musical embodiment of Jet2 for God knows how long, this was Jess’ very first solo #1 song. It’s not difficult to see why this did so well. This has a universal euphoric sound which fits perfectly with the lyrical content. The dance piano chords made this perfect for summer, perfect for dancing and literally any occasion, and this song took good advantage of that! I’m sure this would’ve been a top 5 on the rate were it not for its horrific overplay by corporations using it to advertise or push the idea of forced happiness and fun, this is all we can associate this song with anymore! Some of you were completely broken and have given it your -1s, others are still holding strong and giving this some very high marks. But one’s thing for sure, we all have an opinion on this song :lol: #13 - Jess Glynne 'I'll Be There' (Avg. 6.171) High Scores: (10 - Calum 9 - divathinmuffin, T-Boy, Liam, vibe) Low Scores: ( -1 - Lee Wallace, Jonjo) iQp1_GfDhwQ Please welcome to the stage, Jess Goat! The real G.O.A.T. Jess attempts a cheeky little yodel in the chorus of this song, a trend that has not caught on unfortunately. This is another of the marmite songs in her discography, if it weren’t for a couple -1s and the odd 0, this would have been well into the top 10 as the majority of Buzzjack favoured this song. This is her most surprising of her #1’s for me. I believe it snuck in there for 1 week on a low sales week so her most ‘non-#1’ if you will. The song was still pretty successful in the charts regardless of its peak and did exactly what it needed to do to help Jess continue to have success in her second album era. Also can we appreciate that T-Boy appears in both of the high scores in this post :o
July 11, 20205 yr I didn't mind Hold My Hand at the time but the Jet2 overplay has made me never want to hear it again x I'll Be There.... I'll pass on that one x
July 11, 20205 yr Honestly HMH would be SO much more preferable had it just been a hit and long forgotten about. The Jet2 exposure is horrendous and really hurts it's quality, for me. IBT is vile. I hate that it's catchy and worms its way into my head, but it's so bad!
July 11, 20205 yr Author IBT is vile. I hate that it's catchy and worms its way into my head, but it's so bad! The hallmark of any classic Jess Glynne song!
July 11, 20205 yr Bitter Anne Marie fans taking things out on me still, I see (I also have Jess some 00s) I’m legit not the only one who voted the way I did and I’m starting to get fed up with the passive aggressive singling our I seem to be getting.
July 11, 20205 yr I’ll Be There is hooky as shit, I’m surprised it didn’t get to #1 more easily if you get what I mean!
July 11, 20205 yr Author #12 - Tinie Tempah feat. Jess Glynne 'Not Letting Go' (Avg. 6.562) High Scores: (10 - Frenchie, George.keh, Josh!, Leww 9 - vibe, Jack) Low Scores: (0 - Scene) nsDwItoNlLc Another of Jess’ #1s this time with Tinie Tempah. This screamed smash hit even on first listen and it sure did become a #1 on its debut week. I think this was one of the last held-back songs to reach #1 so I’m not sure this would have done it these days as it sounds a bit dated already, it suits the sound of the early 10’s much better than the late 10’s. Jess’ contribution only sticks to the chorus, but it’s so catchy and flows very well that it’s difficult to imagine the track with anyone else. It was by this point we were starting to realise how much of a chart behemoth that she was becoming, this was her 4th #1 out of 6 charting songs to date and both of those were top 10 hits too. #11 - Marshmello & Anne-Marie 'FRIENDS' (Avg. 6.564) High Scores: (11 - UltraBeKind 10 - JosephStyles, Josh!, Scene) Low Scores: ( 0 - Bjork) jzD_yyEcp0M Just missing out on the top 10 is Anne-Marie’s guide on how to losing a spelling bee contest, it’s F R I N D S! I’m honestly surprised how well this did considering how much vocal hate this receives across the site, perhaps it is the same people running their mouth over and over? Like 2002 this song has improved over time since its major overkill in 2018 and I can recognise it’s a proper earworm these days. This managed a #4 peak and stuck between #4-6 for 8 consecutive weeks which I’m sure wound up our chart forum greatly. I hadn’t considered this before but now I’ve listened to Anne-Marie’s discography extensively (thanks!) I think this is the perfect balance between Anne-Marie’s early sound and current sound. The delivery is punchy, filled with swagger and she demands your attention on the track, this is paired with the pop sensibilities of Marshmello who has turned the track into a future bass offering with trap beats and strummed guitar chords. This commentary was much more positive than I was expecting it to be!!!
July 11, 20205 yr Not Letting Go is soooo bland. Tinie is capable of way better! FRIENDS :heart: a song I loved from first listen and still adore! Deserved top 10 for sure.
July 11, 20205 yr Author There we have it all caught up to the top 10! :cheer: I shall continue with all the remaining songs tomorrow evening so please stay tuned until then to find out Buzzjack's favourite Jess Glynne or Anne-Marie song! Here's a reminder of all the songs that are still to be announced: Alarm Ciao Adios Don't Be So Hard On Yourself My Love (with Route 94) Rather Be (with Clean Bandit) Real Love (with Clean Bandit) Right Here Rockabye (with Clean Bandit & Sean Paul) Rumour Mill (with Rudimental & Will Heard) Take Me Home Please get predicting! Who you think has only just scraped in and who's going to be contending for the top 5 or the victory?? I'll post a time to get things started at some point tomorrow but 7pm tomorrow evening is what I'm envisaging.
July 11, 20205 yr Not Letting Go :wub: Not aged well but I loved it that Summer it was released!! LOVING this results thread, finding it really interesting. Hopefully Alarm can win, that's my absolute fave.
July 11, 20205 yr Author Not Letting Go :wub: Not aged well but I loved it that Summer it was released!! LOVING this results thread, finding it really interesting. Hopefully Alarm can win, that's my absolute fave. I'm glad your enjoying it! I knew it would create conversation either way as it's all songs we know so well!
July 11, 20205 yr I also love 'Hold My Hand' but struggle to get genuine enjoyment from it anymore due to the overplay. 'All I Am' is ghastly, and I can't forgive what they did to Kings of Tomorrow's 'Finally' on it.
July 11, 20205 yr WANT: Rather Be (with Clean Bandit) Rockabye (with Clean Bandit & Sean Paul) Ciao Adios Don't Be So Hard On Yourself Take Me Home Alarm Right Here Real Love (with Clean Bandit) Rumour Mill (with Rudimental & Will Heard) My Love (with Route 94) The bottom 3 to leave ASAP would be ideal and then we'd have a strong top 7! PREDICT: Rockabye (with Clean Bandit & Sean Paul) Rather Be (with Clean Bandit) Don't Be So Hard On Yourself My Love (with Route 94) Real Love (with Clean Bandit) Ciao Adios Right Here Take Me Home Alarm Rumour Mill (with Rudimental & Will Heard) --- Also... LOVING this thread. Thank you Patrick :wub:
