A compilation of my favourite songs of the year, not related to my personal chart positions of the year as opinions do change :lol:

 

100. Lauv - Mine (You Can't Find Love in Mollywood)

 

 

Album: Without You (EP)

 

The second track to Lauv's "Without You" EP written and produced by him during the Spring lockdown - and my favourite from it! The dreamy chorus is a particular highlight for me!

 

99. Kygo & OneRepublic - Lose Somebody

 

 

Album: Golden Hour

 

We may not have had OneRepublic's much delayed fifth album "Human" this year :lol: but we've had plenty of singles from them this year - including this collaboration with Kygo from his third album "Golden Hour". Easily my favourite from that release!

 

98. Neck Deep - When You Know

 

Album: All Distortions Are Intentional

 

The first of a few appearances for Wrexham-based pop-punk band Neck Deep, this being the second single from it about the main "characters" of the album realising their love for one another.

 

 

I feel like this will be one of the EOY charts I will relate to the most! Giving the Neck Deep song a listen now, sounding quite good although if you'd asked me where they were from from this sound I'd never have guessed Wrexham :lol:

The American accent is because of how Ben (the lead singer) grew up learning from American bands :lol: there's never really been many British pop-punk bands, which I imagine has massively helped their success! They were supposed to be playing arenas this year

97. Easy Life - Dead Celebrities

 

 

Album: Junk Food (EP)

 

Taken from their top 10 charting EP 'Junk Food' is Lecister 5-piece Easy Life! Hopefully we finally get their debut album next year :lol: I can see it pushing for a top 3 position

:hi:

 

Glad to see some Lauv representation here! *.* I wasn't too amazed by the Without You EP - it was all about the album for me this year - but Mine is a cute track anyway! Lose Somebody was a nice surprise too, really quite like that!

Back on with this!

 

96. The Cribs - Siren-Sing Along

 

 

Album: Night Network

 

The first of two entries for The Cribs here, with the most recent single from it.

 

95. Jamie Cullum - Turn On The Lights

 

 

Album: The Pianoman At Christmas

 

I think overall I wasn't massively impressed with Jamie Cullum's Christmas album for 2020, it was much more jazz-based than this fantastic lead single which isn't usually my vibe. It was decent though, with this of course being a big highlight!

 

94. BABYMETAL - BxMxC

 

Album: Metal Galaxy

 

Originally a Japanese-exclusive from the Japanese duo's third album 'Metal Galaxy', this was released everywhere as a single towards the end of last year. And it's the song that really got me into them! The first of two entries for BABYMETAL ;)

I think I listened to a Cribs song when you charted them in your personal chart but I'd sort of forgotten that they had returned! Giving Siren-Sing Along a play now, a very fun-sounding indie track! Might give it a chance on my playlist actually.
