Here is their first song anyway, it's a really punchy track perfect for the early part of the year and is still sounding great now! Top 100 Chart History 2020 14 Magnetic 2020 15 Be My Queen
January 5, 20215 yr Author oh I'm quite liking that Shallou song on first listen, I only knew 'Count On' from him from BJSC. Glad you're liking it! Count On got my +18 in BJSC I think, he's done quite a few songs that have impressed me now. Thanks Dan!
January 6, 20215 yr Uno! *.* That would've been such a moment at Eurovision, it was definitely a year of "what could've been." Really impressed with how Of Monsters & Men have evolved their sound since their more folk-y breakthrough, I never imagined they could rock out the way they have lately! Although my recent fave of theirs is 'Alligator' so I'm disappointed to not see that in your chart history.

Thanks Jordan!
January 7, 20215 yr Catching up now! I've not really gone back to folklore much since it was released oops, but exile is a nice enough track! I just want pop Taylor back to be honest :( :lol: Giving Sweet Emotions a listen just now and it's a fab track - wouldn't have known it existed if I hadn't seen it here, so thanks for that :o *.*

Video 5acT2_xWXU0 Commentary Top 100 Chart History So Walking On Cars split up this year (:cry:) but released this EP as a final farewell. This was the song which was sort-of promoted as a lead from it (although none of the songs got real single status) and was a brilliant song to choose, very emotional vocals and a tune which you always want to go back to which is always good. They still have another song from the EP to go though!

Video bL5Gn1ryuVw Commentary A dance track now which, in terms of my chart, is a collaboration between three been-and-gones - the only Top 10 single any of them had managed since 2017 before this was Sam Feldt's Christmas song from last year. Anyway they're all back in there now with this winter-fuelled tune, which was my anthem as I looked forward to going home for Christmas. Unfortunately I'm now away from hoome again so this will likely drop like a stone over the coming weeks. Top 100 Chart History Sam Feldt 2016 06 Runaway (Sam Feldt & Deepend ft.

This is a tune though, definitely not your traditional indie-band sound with some synth-y bits in there producing an almost futuristic sort of song. The bizarrely long chart run shows just how much I loved this! Top 100 Chart History 2020 18 Haunted 2020 01 Lost In The Thick Of It (The Coronas & Gabrielle Aplin) 2020 38 True Love Waits

This was the second-highest position I managed in the contest this year, and quite fittingly is the second-highest Nicelandic BJSC song to appear in my chart as well. I was vaguely aware of Roosevelt before this but knew very little about him, and only discovered this by chance whilst listening to my Discover Weekly playlist. It's a great song though and very glad it was one of my few qualifiers this year. Top 100 Chart History 2020 10 Sign 2020 07 Feels Right 2020 58 Echoes 2020 57 Strangers

Another very solid showing from them anyways! Top 100 Chart History 2020 14 Magnetic 2020 15 Be My Queen
January 7, 20215 yr 'Sign' was definitely one of my faves you've sent, so glad that did reasonably well in the contest and this rundown.

So alternative in fact that if AURORA wasn't coming off the back of a 4-week #1 I probably wouldn't have charted it, but it continued to grow over the winter of last year and finally became a new year hit. Neither have had a hit since, although I've not really been looking for new songs from Askjell really!

It certainly didn't smash as hard as some of their older stuff, but certainly stuck around long enough in my chart to be a hit. Also what on earth is that thumbnail.

When I finally did, I was suddenly really sad this missed the Top 40 as it would have lightened it up so much. A Coronavirus-themed song which is both funky and guitar-heavy at the same time, it's such an earworm and even manages to namecheck random people such as Michael and Julie in the lyrics as well.

And, true to Kygo's form, this one is. Zara's vocals absolutely kill it as well, and Tyga's rap works brilliantly too despite his bizarre choice to be stood next to naked lady as he does it. It may have been robbed of a higher peak thanks to Eurovision but it makes its deserved mark here. Top 100 Chart History Kygo 2016 08 Carry Me (Kygo ft. Julia Michaels) 2017 04 It Ain't Me (Kygo ft.

January 8, 20215 yr Hey Pete! :D Like It Is was pretty good, though I think Hot Stuff was my favourite of Kygo's 2020 output. Share That Love was the first Lukas Graham song I'd heard in ages, I liked it! Anything you'd recommend from, well, anything after the 7 Years album?
January 9, 20215 yr Like It Is was a nice track, haven't gone back to it much but a solid track from both Kygo and Zara! Level of Concern was also nice enough - not quite peak Twenty One Pilots for me though!

Share That Love was the first Lukas Graham song I'd heard in ages, I liked it! Anything you'd recommend from, well, anything after the 7 Years album? I think my favourite since 7 Years is probably Not A Damn Thing Changed, although it's a lot darker-sounding than pretty much all their other music, for something more pop-py I'd probably say either 'Off To See The World' or 'Say Yes (Church Ballad)'. Glad you're a fan of Share That Love anyway! Thanks Joseph :D Like It Is was a nice track, haven't gone back to it much but a solid track from both Kygo and Zara!
