Aaand this marks the last Top 20 song in my chart so prepare to be thrust into obscurity from now on ;) Top 100 Chart History Taylor Swift 2019 99 The Man 2020 09 exile (Taylor Swift ft.

This isn't an instant smash but certainly racked up the weeks in my chart to deserve its place here.

January 2, 20214 yr Giving the a listen seeming that he has 3 #1s in your chart. I thought the song sounded pretty nice but I just didn't like his voice unfortunately. Exile is nice but far from a favourite from the Folklore album.
January 4, 20214 yr Author Giving the a listen seeming that he has 3 #1s in your chart. I thought the song sounded pretty nice but I just didn't like his voice unfortunately. Exile is nice but far from a favourite from the Folklore album. Are there a few words missing from your first comment? :kink: I'll assume you mean the Cavetown song, yeah I get that his voice might not be to everyone's taste but glad you thought it sounded nice at least! I have to admit I've only heard the three cahrting songs from the folklore album - what were your favourites? Thanks Lewis!

Elderbrook has and will remain a favourite of mine, and this song is still veery refreshing to hear and I can see why I picked it as a #1. Unfortunately it didn't hang arond for too long, being #1 during my Lent challenge of listening to less music and being replaced by the song that was at #1 before it, and sadly the drop really needs a bit more to it. Elderbrook does still ahve another song to come though! Top 100 Chart History 2016 06 Smile (Gorgon City ft.

Unsurprisingly I loved it, Yannis' vocals really adding depth to the song and making it a real standout of theirs (and making sure Foals didn't go from an EOY #1 to having nothing in the chart the year after) Top 100 Chart History CamelPhat 2017 01 Cola (CalmelPhat & Elderbrook) 2018 68 Panic Room (Au/Ra & CamelPhat) 2019 81 Breathe (CamelPhat & Cristoph ft.

Lying To Myself entered my chart in late 2019 but reached it's peak in the January lull of this year. It's a fabulously funky indie-pop song with some bongos added in to keep it fresh, and I should probably take another look at who Leland Blue actually are Top 100 Chart History 2019 10 Lying To Myself

Video wms76AfllVE Commentary I was definitely late to the party on this one as it had been out for three months when I finally gave it a listen. It's a beautiful and really encouraging song, with Chris and the members of Lady A sharing their experiences of God via the medium of song.

Taylor Swift - Exile (feat. Bon Iver) 88. Sigma & Jack Savoretti - You & Me As One 89. Oh Wonder - Keep On Dancing Great list so far!
January 5, 20214 yr Numb was one of your #1s I enjoyed the most so glad that's at least made the top 100 here. big yay for Hypercolour making it, it's another great CamelPhat track, they've had a very good year.

I have to admit I've only heard the three cahrting songs from the folklore album - what were your favourites? Thanks Lewis! Whoops yeah. I must have been half asleep when I written that :lol: The other 2 charting songs were probably my favourites from folklore. 'betty' was my favourite of the album tracks.
January 5, 20214 yr A big thumbs up for Daði Freyr, Elderbrook and CamelPhat! Yannis was another unexpected collaborator for them, much like Jake Bugg, but it really worked once again *.* I loved quite a few Eurovision songs this year so it was a shame that they didn’t get the chance to compete 💔 ‘Think About Things’ actually charting for multiple weeks was a silver lining at least. Already showed some love for ‘exile’ but why not once again! The Taylor and Bon Iver collab from ‘evermore’ didn’t quite hit those heights again for me although my favourite is ‘gold rush’ which has backing vocals from them!

This is a lovely song taking on the story of two lovers who have split up but are both happy that the other has found someone new and are happy.

This was the to-be Russian entry this year, as always from Little Big it's absolutely bonkers and I love it.

I haven't listened to this in almost a year but hearing it again just reminds me of how fab it actually is, such a brill laid-back track that most certainly deserves its place here.
