40TH:

 

BILL WITHERS- LOVELY DAY

 

120PTS

 

 

 

Beginning the countdown, we have this classic from the late Bill Withers who sadly passed away this year. One of three older songs in this countdown. It's just such a good song this. When I was younger, I thought he was singing 'Chardonnay' not 'Lovely Day'.

Lovely Day is a brill song to start off the countdown with, bringing back good memories. Good to see Tick Tock and Don't Need Love high up on your commiserations as well!

Looking forward to this Mack! :cheer:

Aww 'Lovely Day' has a huge place in my heart for sentimental reasons, love that it has kicked off your top 40!

 

"When I was younger, I thought he was singing 'Chardonnay' not 'Lovely Day'." though :rofl:

Thanks for commenting, everyone, :).

 

Sorry been a bit busy but will get this done soon.

 

 

39TH:

 

THE WEEKND- IN YOUR EYES

 

124PTS

 

 

Sorry for the delay, at #39. It is The Weeknd with 'In Your Eyes'. Another song of his is likely to appear but this was another great tune from him.

 

Big fan of In Your Eyes! One of the best songs to reach the Top 40 this year in spite of the slightly disturbing video :P

Thanks Pete, it certainly was one of the best songs to reach the Top 40 this year.

In Your Eyes is my favourite song by The Weeknd now! Sublime :wub:

38TH:

 

 

MAROON 5- MEMORIES

 

128PTS

 

 

Warning, an unpopular choice in the countdown but it is Maroon 5 with 'Memories'. Just always enjoyed Maroon 5's music. Listened to it a lot more during 2020 than the late part of 2019.

37TH:

 

DOJA CAT- SAY SO

 

128PTS

 

 

At #37, we have Doja Cat with her smash hit 'Say So'. Really enjoyed this from her. Still sounding great.

36TH:

 

JUSTIN BIEBER- YUMMY

 

128PTS

 

 

At #36, I can only apologise it is another unpopular choice according to the Hate Chart. But I did like this from Justin Bieber. It's no 'What Do You Mean', 'Sorry' or 'Love Yourself' but I quite liked this from him.

 

35TH:

 

SUMMER WALKER FT USHER- COME THRU

 

132PTS

 

 

Next, something different here from female R&B artist Summer Walker featuring Usher which sampled Usher's 1998 UK #1 'You Make Me Wanna'. Hearing this I thought this is a tune and enjoyed the sample in this. I hope to see Summer Walker have UK Chart success sometime soon.

 

 

I liked Yummy too and it'll be in a similar spot in my EOY, and I loooved Come Thru - great collab!

Thanks Riser, glad you are enjoying the countdown so far.

34TH:

 

TOPIC FT A7S- BREAKING ME

 

140PTS

 

 

Next, a BJSC entry from myself which become mainstream. Was delighted with the success this achieved.

33RD:

 

JUICE WRLD- WISHING WELL

 

144PTS

 

 

At #33, it is the much missed Juice WRLD with 'Wishing Well'.

Really glad Breaking Me became the hit it did, I've been aware of Topic for quite a few years but never really expected him to make the mainstream in the way this did so that was a nice surprise!
