January 13, 20223 yr I remember hearing the Foals song a lot on the radio on the travel down to London I did in November to watch England. It's not bad at all, its pretty funky and gets stuck in your head pretty rapidly. It sounds like sort of song that is guaranteed to be on the FIFA soundtrack next year :lol:
January 14, 20223 yr Hooray for "Too Late"! Mostly came for Lukas Graham, but it's actually one of Cash Cash's best works too.

January 15, 20223 yr Author #50 (1273pts) Maximo Park All of Me - Chart Statistics NE (13/03/2021) 57-52-49-37-29-21-23-19-18-17-19-26-25-35-37-47-50-57-59-71-75-96-xx Video gQkW29Yzd6I Commentary It's been a while since I've paid any attention to Maximo Park! Having heard about their new album I was eager to get some of their music back into my life and this was the perfect song to do so, whlst it's nothing special it's a really good song which was certainly stuck in my head for a long time last year. It's their only appearance in my chart to date although I've just belatedly added 'Versions of You' to my playlist so that may appear in my Personal Chart soon!

It was also the first year a Eurovision song didn't make #1, however this very nice indie track got to #2 behind Allday. The change of lead singer certainly makes the band feel like a different unit to the one that gave us 'Romantic', but it's their highest charting position and is still very nice even if their follow-ups didn't quite live up to its quality.

Apparently they released a new single last month so I'll need to check that out! Top 100 Chart History 2021 09 Somebody Loves You 2021 03 Glasgow

This was definitely an 'impulse' #1 but it's definitely held up to the accolade and still sounds fab now. It's a very laid-back song but the lyrics have resonated with me a lot and their multicultural background (the act are a duo from the USA and South Africa) still has its chance to shine here. I came across this song by chance but I'm delighted I did! Top 100 Chart History 2021 01 Show Me What It Means 2021 47 O Holy Night
January 17, 20223 yr That Cash Cash/Lukas Graham/Wiz Khalifa song is really good! :o I've dipped in and out of Lukas' music for a while and this is probably one of his best songs yet.
January 18, 20223 yr Author I remember hearing the Foals song a lot on the radio on the travel down to London I did in November to watch England. It's not bad at all, its pretty funky and gets stuck in your head pretty rapidly. It sounds like sort of song that is guaranteed to be on the FIFA soundtrack next year :lol: I suppose so - not heard the FIFA soundtrack in years but they did always love catchy indie songs. Thanks Lewis! Hooray for "Too Late"! Mostly came for Lukas Graham, but it's actually one of Cash Cash's best works too. That's the same for me I think - I do like Cash Cash and they've definitely made the song what it is but Lukas' vocals are of course fantastic :wub: Thanks Cow Cow! That Cash Cash/Lukas Graham/Wiz Khalifa song is really good! :o I've dipped in and out of Lukas' music for a while and this is probably one of his best songs yet. Glad you're a fan - not sure I'd call it one of his/their best songs but it's still a really fab dance track. Thanks Joseph!

It's a really light little piece that doesn't require much energy to listen to (that feels like a weird thing to say but you'll hopefully understand when you hear the song) yet remains incredibly catchy - one of those songs you just keep wanting to go back to. He's got a lovely voice as well! Top 100 Chart History 2019 35 Heartshaker 2019 56 Into The Night 2021 19 Strange Days 2021 32 Soak Up 2021 50 Feel The Night 2021 19 Hymn For Her (Tom Speight ft.

(and no, I don't mean the genre) Despite a ton of their album tracks missing the Top 40, this is becoming one of the best things they've put their name to. And Diplo is great on it as well!

(Speaking of 'Nothing To Lose' it's just got a music video so maybe a resurgence is on the cards!)

It's an incredibly uplifting piece about being able to make it to where you need to be despite the narrator no longer being by their side. Very unlucky to not top my charts I think!

I've never really taken in much of Ben Howard's music, but this song and it's quirky charm really stuck with me. It never really 'kicks in' but just stays in its relaxed form throughout, with lyrics placed in exactly the right places to keep it in your head. The music video is an interesting watch as well - certainly not a 'traditional' video! Top 100 Chart History 2021 05 Sorry Kid

It feels so long ago that I'm surprised it was still 2021 but it remains a fantastic song, and whilst it doesn't have too many bells and whistles it's just one of those songs you can 'get into'.

Video GITYxF3iRgs Commentary This song is so low-key that it took me an entire month and two additional chart runs for me to finally get on board with it :lol: Thankfully this was one of the occasions on which Spotify choosing to play aa random song more frequently than others paid off as eventually I came to love this masterpiece of a song, the piano and syncopated beat being all that was needed to crete a fantastic song.

Video TB6lk0igf_k Commentary The second #1 to appear in my EOY, it definitely suffered from me forgetting to chart it for a couple of weeks but nonetheless it was soon atop my chart! Whilst I wouldn't particularly gravitate towards FINNEAS' music, this is a fantastic song, starting off dark and mellow before slowly growing in emotion and instrumentation leading up to a massive guitar-heavy verse in the middle, before mellowing out again in the second half of the song. A stroke of genius I have to say! Top 100 Chart History 2020 04 Can't Wait To Be Dead 2021 01 A Concert Six Months From Now

I do wonder on a regular basis whether Zoe Wees' rather unfortunate name has been a barrier to her success in the UK, but they're certainly missing out as this is a fantastic song! Taking on the important topic of security in women with a melody which just grabbed me from the first listen, it just felt right to keep listening to this song again and again. I really need to listen to more of her music! Top 100 Chart History 2021 23 Girls Like Us 2021 32 Love Me Now (Kygo ft. Zoe Wees)

Video HYr5dVqVvaM Commentary The return of AS IT IS began with this song! It took a second listen for me to be convinced enough to put it on my playlist, but once it was on it very quickly shot into the Top 10 (at a time when the Top 10 was actually quite competitive as well!) You smile, but your eyes, they scream 'ignore me' is the line that gets me every time.
