Posted February 18, 20223 yr Voting has now closed so let's get on with the results! Thanks to the 34 of you who voted (and one of me). We start the top 40 with... #40. United Kingdolls ~ UK Hun? UK chart run: {27}-x [1 weeks] Points: 09 | Positive votes: 02 | Negative votes: 01 [LiamSine] Top supporter: LMLou [+7] Taken from S2 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK a few of the drag queens did a pun on the name of this very country and managed to out-do the S1 effort in the chart before inevitably tumbling right out the following week. #39. Neiked, Mae Muller and Polo G ~ Better Days UK chart run: 52-33-{32}-33-34-49-75-x-43-54-55-x [10 weeks] Points: 13 | Positive votes: 04 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Rush [+6] After a massive hit in 'Sexual' 5 years ago apparently TikTok decided we needed Mr Neiked to have a second hit with a song that had eerily similar production to a recent Doja Cat superhit. #38. Little Mix ~ No UK chart run: {35}-57-x [2 weeks] Points: 14 | Positive votes: 04 | Negative votes: 01 [rio309] Top supporter: Nick F1 [+8] Perhaps not the best way to go out, Little Mix's final single before announcing a hiatus landed just in the top 40 to coincide with their Greatest Hits album before promptly exiting, although it didn't seem to get much of a push fans were hoping for a better chart run. It seems Buzzjack weren't all too keen on this either with only a handful of supporters here. #37. Years & Years ~ Starstruck UK chart run: 64-56-38-39-41-44-{31}-34-33-43-55-x [11 weeks] Points: 14 | Positive votes: 04 | Negative votes: 01 [rio309] Top supporter: Nick F1 [+8] Perhaps Sweet Talker can fare a bit better next year but for now Starstruck falls in the bottom 5 here for Olly, a track that certainly needed a bit of a push to even get it as high as #31 so it seems the public weren't here for him so much this time around although he did at least end up with a #1 album out of it so the fans are still there. #36. Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande ~ Santa, Can't You Hear Me? UK chart run: 66-49-40-{37}-x [4 weeks] Points: 20 | Positive votes: 05 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Jade [+10] A little Christmas hit here for Kelly & Ariana, only time will tell if it ends up holding up like Underneath the Tree but it just managed to scrape the top 40 this time around - still impressive for a new Christmas song when it has all the classics to contend with I suppose.
February 18, 20223 yr Aww my +10 out already and I don't expect +12 Billie/ROSALÍA to last much longer either, shall see. Kelly/Ari is a great addition to the pool of festive top 40s anyway!
February 18, 20223 yr Author #35. Taylor Swift ~ Mr. Perfectly Fine (Taylor's Version) UK chart run: {30}-50-63-x [3 weeks] Points: 20 | Positive votes: 05 | Negative votes: 01 [detonate] Top supporter: ...ready for it [+8] One of the handful of Taylor Swift songs we got this year however this was a previously unreleased track from the Fearless sessions helping it into the top 40. #34. Sia ~ Snowman UK chart run: 73-55-44-41-{35}-x [5 weeks] Points: 24 | Positive votes: 04 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: JulianT [+10] Another Christmas song now and this one was a couple of years old already but got a TikTok boost then subsequently replaced her other Christmas hit on all the playlists giving it a boost into the top 40 despite the ACR handicap. #33. Becky Hill ~ Last Time UK chart run: 47-51-53-46-{39}-42-46-52-55-x [9 weeks] Points: 24 | Positive votes: 06 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Daan [+7] A middling Becky Hill hit which thankfully did manage to just about scrape the top 40 although I'm sure the label were hoping for more. Thankfully she'd team up with Mr Guetta soon and get the much deserved big hit. #32. P!nk ~ All I Know So Far UK chart run: 45-55-{39}-41-45-44-44-46-46-50-51-48-64-65-55-59-65-73-x [18 weeks] Points: 25 | Positive votes: 06 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: rio309, WhoOdyssey [+7] P!nk going full on Heart FM now which only got her a top 40 scrape although it had impressive longevity outside - taken from her live album so I'm sure a bigger hit could await when she next does a proper album campaign. #31. Jason Derulo and Nuka ~ Love Not War (The Tampa Beat) UK chart run: 30-29-{26}-29-32-27-38-31-36-45-48-x [11 weeks] Points: 27 | Positive votes: 04 | Negative votes: 01 [JackTheeStallion] Top supporter: detonate [+12] A shameless attempt to re-do Savage Love and well I suppose it somewhat worked for him though it probably won't be fondly remembered by most.
February 18, 20223 yr Author #30. Giveon ~ Heartbreak Anniversary UK chart run: 60-42-42-39-36-36-37-{35}-36-44-48-x [11 weeks] Points: 31 | Positive votes: 07 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Cow Cow, Bjork [+8] Getting a rare RnB track into the top 40 last year we had Giveon who'd got popularity off a Drake collab and soon went on to feature for Justin Bieber but hasn't come back since yet. #29. Mimi Webb ~ 24/5 UK chart run: {25}-34-34-33-35-33-25-29-37-41-x [10 weeks] Points: 34 | Positive votes: 07 | Negative votes: 01 [Daan] Top supporter: Rush [+12] One of the most annoying vocal performances of the year from Mimi Webb, which thankfully didn't quite follow her first two singles into the top 20 though I see she's got a new track out now which is doing well on iTunes and supposedly has TikTok behind it so I guess she's here to stay. #28. Sigala and Rita Ora ~ You for Me UK chart run: 55-53-37-33-29-28-{23}-26-26-32-38-40-x [12 weeks] Points: 35 | Positive votes: 05 | Negative votes: 01 [sevenSeize] Top supporter: Waverly, LiamSine [+12] A little bit of chart redemption for Rita Ora following a "Big" flop with her Imanbek/Guetta collab teaming with Sigala for a fairly by the numbers dancepop track, nothing too special but I did chuck it a couple of points. #27. SZA ~ I Hate U UK chart run: {38}-47-69-x-40-51-51-58-56-67-x [8 weeks] Points: 36 | Positive votes: 08 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: JackTheeStallion [+10] SZA eventually following on from her 'Good Days' toward the end of last year it managed to splash in the top 40 in Christmas season but couldn't hold up well enough to re-peak afterwards. #26. Little Mix ~ Love (Sweet Love) UK chart run: {33}-56-70-62-72-70-x [6 weeks] Points: 37 | Positive votes: 08 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Nick F1 [+10] So there's no Little Mix in the top 20 then, with this single also falling flat in the chart as it couldn't quite compete with their (much better) Galantis and Anne-Marie collabs.
February 18, 20223 yr Author #25. Lil Nas X ~ Holiday UK chart run: 60-42-41-42-41-49-47-{23}-31-x [9 weeks] Points: 38 | Positive votes: 08 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Dorothea [+12] Just months before he was able to get a second superhit this track timed for the holiday season managed to have a couple weeks in the chart come the new year after an unfortunate run of 4 weeks between 41-42. #24. Billie Eilish and Rosalía ~ Lo Vas A Olvidar UK chart run: {35}-64-x [2 weeks] Points: 43 | Positive votes: 05 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Jade, Brer, Bjork [+12] A soundtrack release which was only a very short lived hit from Billie's name power - it managed to gain three big fans on the forum but sweet little else. #23. The Longest Johns ~ Wellerman UK chart run: {37}-52-x [2 weeks] Points: 43 | Positive votes: 07 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Cow Cow, jimwatts [+10] Benefitting from the lack of a Nathan Evans version to stream for a couple of weeks, though it seems some of you do happen to appreciate this version for what it is too. #22. Justin Bieber ~ Ghost UK chart run: 62-47-41-39-35-32-29-37-46-45-52-64-21-27-25-25-21-{19}-... [18 weeks] Points: 43 | Positive votes: 08 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Jason [+12] Oops. Oh well, come back next year to see if it can fare any better in Non-top 10 of 2022. #21. Navos ~ Believe Me UK chart run: 50-43-33-25-29-26-27-26-25-27-26-{23}-27-30-32-75-60-30-26-31-36-38-x [22 weeks] Points: 44 | Positive votes: 08 | Negative votes: 01 [smint] Top supporter: Jason, coi [+8] One of the longest runners of the year for a non-top 20 hit, quite unlucky for the summer dance smash and even moreso that it once again misses a top 20 losing out by tiebreak.
February 18, 20223 yr Nothing amazing has been revealed so far so looking forward to the higher placed songs. :) Hope it was my negative vote that put that awful Navos rubbish out of the top 20! Edited February 18, 20223 yr by Smint
February 18, 20223 yr Wow - me, Bjork and Bray making up over 80% of 'Lo Vas A Olvidar's points with our 12s :lol: gorgeous collaboration :wub: held on a bit longer than I was expecting. Hope Billie can go top 10 here with 'NDA' or 'Oxytocin' - I suspect the latter may have a good chance
February 18, 20223 yr Amazing that a lot of these even qualified though I guess a lot of non Top 20 hits these days tend to be album cuts that only last a week so there’s quite a high proportion that are already forgotten / forgettable. Snowman is my only big loss so far. ⛄️
February 18, 20223 yr Author #20. PinkPantheress ~ Pain UK chart run: 53-{35}-37-38-39-45-59-67-x [8 weeks] Points: 44 | Positive votes: 09 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Dorothea, SevenSeize [+8] The breakout hit for PinkPantheress with a little help from a sample of "Flowers". #19. Raye and Rudimental ~ Regardless UK chart run: 60-51-40-{37}-38-48-43-44-57-69-x [10 weeks] Points: 46 | Positive votes: 09 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Daan [+10] A cute little dance hit from Raye, which did really deserve a fair bit more than it got but oh well. Helped by a sample of "Rapture" and with a song title perhaps inspired by her previous collab with DJ Regard. #18. Aurora ~ Runaway UK chart run: 59-51-34-29-{25}-29-33-34-x [8 weeks] Points: 48 | Positive votes: 09 | Negative votes: 01 [Dobbo] Top supporter: JulianT [+12] TikTok strikes again and got Aurora a 3rd hit after her 2015 John Lewis ad cover and 2019 Frozen soundtrack song although this pre-dates both of them. #17. Saweetie ~ Best Friend (feat. Doja Cat) UK chart run: {35}-42-47-50-42-40-42-39-40-40-46-45-47-61-59-x [15 weeks] Points: 48 | Positive votes: 12 | Negative votes: 02 [Riser, xajnipi] Top supporter: JackTheeStallion [+8] Following from 'Tap In' Saweetie managed a 2nd top 40 scraping with a little help from her best friend. It was fairly bigger over in America. #16. Taylor Swift ~ Red (Taylor's Version) UK chart run: {22}-53-x [2 weeks] Points: 50 | Positive votes: 10 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Conorw [+12] Taylor Swift again this time with a Red re-recording which managed to out-peak the original version but quickly exited.
February 18, 20223 yr Author Amazing that a lot of these even qualified though I guess a lot of non Top 20 hits these days tend to be album cuts that only last a week so there’s quite a high proportion that are already forgotten / forgettable.

February 18, 20223 yr Not sure if it's a mistake, but I have also given 'Best Friend' a negative vote #16. Saweetie ~ Best Friend (feat. Doja Cat) UK chart run: {35}-42-47-50-42-40-42-39-40-40-46-45-47-61-59-x [15 weeks] Points: 50 | Positive votes: 12 | Negative votes: 01 [Riser] Top supporter: JackTheeStallion [+8] Following from 'Tap In' Saweetie managed a 2nd top 40 scraping with a little help from her best friend. It was fairly bigger over in America.
February 18, 20223 yr My entire 1-3 section dropping out there with Aurora, PinkPantheress + Saweetie :P half my votes in the top 15 is not too bad.
February 18, 20223 yr My entire top 4 yet to be revealed and in the top half which is super rare in these comps.
February 18, 20223 yr Just really hope We’re Good doesn’t win - compared to most Dua songs it’s like the very limp side salad to a tasty meal.
February 18, 20223 yr Just really hope We’re Good doesn’t win - compared to most Dua songs it’s like the very limp side salad to a tasty meal. Agreed, the worst Future Nostalgia single by a country mile. Bland ball of nothing.
February 18, 20223 yr We're Good was my fave from the album. Didn't get killed by overplay either. And would be the best of her 3 winners in this comp too.
February 18, 20223 yr 'Lo Vas A Olvidar' is way too low xx (a very easy +12 for me, stands out by a mile, quite amazing that a song like that could become a top 40 hit, thanks Billie's name power). Wonder if it might have charted higher if it was part of the current series of Euphoria since that show seems to have got a lot more popular. I think 'Ghost' is the only other one of my votes to drop out so far so pretty good going that the rest are in the top 15! (Although my -2 and at least one other strong -2 contender are still in as well <_< x at least '24/5' exited graciously early x)
February 19, 20223 yr Author Not sure if it's a mistake, but I have also given 'Best Friend' a negative vote thanks for pointing out, I did just somehow happen to miss it (which means Best Friend is now #17)
February 19, 20223 yr Author #15. Craig David and MNEK ~ Who You Are UK chart run: {39}-57-58-60-65-70-70-75-x-48-59-x [10 weeks] Points: 52 | Positive votes: 08 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Cow Cow, xajnipi [+12] A small hit for Craig David with a little help from MNEK, just about managing to scrape the top 40 with help from some well timed TV promo. #14. Bad Boy Chiller Crew ~ Don't You Worry About Me UK chart run: 75-72-x-66-53-55-45-44-37-34-39-36-{31}-36-36-35-x [15 weeks] Points: 57 | Positive votes: 10 | Negative votes: 03 [brer, N-S, Conorw] Top supporter: Riser [+12] A fairly controversial hit here from the novelty dance-rap collective - it got 3 +10s in addition to its +12 but also had a fair bit of disdain. I'm just thankful it wasn't any bigger than it was. #13. Olivia Rodrigo ~ Jealousy, Jealousy UK chart run: {36}-41-45-55-64-69-71-71-x [8 weeks] Points: 62 | Positive votes: 13 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: alby [+10] An Olivia album track that was lucky enough to scrape a top 40 placing from overtaking Favourite Crime just in time. #12. Noizu ~ Summer 91 (Looking Back) UK chart run: 64-65-53-43-41-39-40-41-29-28-{27}-32-39-37-x-32-38-43-42-x [18 weeks] Points: 63 | Positive votes: 11 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: Nick F1 [+12] One of the big summer dance anthems of last year and one of the better piano house tracks we got in the chart last year but like Navos could only settle for a lengthy run in the lower half of the top 40. #11. Rag'n'Bone Man ~ All You Ever Wanted UK chart run: 75-33-35-{29}-31-31-32-43-49-52-x-51-61-59-66-x [14 weeks] Points: 64 | Positive votes: 10 | Negative votes: 00 Top supporter: RabbitFurCoat, DalekTurret32 [+12] The comeback release from RnB Man it couldn't be quite as big a hit as we may have expected but helped him grab another #1 album (and was a better effort than his eventual top 10 hit) Top 10: Billie Eilish ~ Oxytocin Billie Eilish ~ NDA Camila Cabello ~ Don't Go Yet Dua Lipa ~ We're Good Duncan Laurence ~ Arcade Fred Again.. and The Blessed Madonna ~ Marea (We've Lost Dancing) Marshmello and Jonas Brothers ~ Leave Before You Love Me PinkPantheress ~ Just for Me Taylor Swift ~ Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) Willow ~ Transparent Soul (feat. Travis Barker)
