December 15, 20222 yr Well, I did say I prefer "Big City Life" over "Down Under", happy to see it here. "Hold Me Closer" is a fantastic Eurovision song, that's to be expected from Sweden. Really like "Lift Me Up", haven't seen the second Black Panther though. I hope "Moving All Around" will be a hit for me in 2023. Like "Bad Memories", "Where Are You Now" (although I see it as a 2021 hit personally), "I Drink Wine" and "Don't Forget My Love" as well. I liked "Unholy" at first, but it got worse with each listen for me, the Disclousre remix got better though.
December 15, 20222 yr I'm big fans of Starlight and Potion from what has appeared in your mainstream list son far. A very unpopular opinion but Potion is the most I've enjoyed a Calvin song for a long time.

WAYN probably was more of a 2021 hit in Germany but classic UK fashion saw it only peak this year for us. the Disclosure remix of Unholy certainly was more palatable for me but I appreciate the original version too for what it is. I'm big fans of Starlight and Potion from what has appeared in your mainstream list son far. A very unpopular opinion but Potion is the most I've enjoyed a Calvin song for a long time.that is a rather unpopular opinion haha, Potion was a huge flop in my chart for Calvin Harris standards (he's had 8 #1 hits on my chart, this one barely scraped the top 50) but fair enough. thanks all! now on to the last bits before the main chart..
December 16, 20222 yr Author MAINSTREAM 75 b1kbLwvqugk 34 224,700 Tiësto and Ava Max ~ The Motto 35 223,100 Taylor Swift ~ Anti-Hero 36 218,600 Harry Styles ~ As It Was 37 216,600 Becky Hill ~ My Heart Goes (La Di Da) [feat. Topic] 38 209,500 My Chemical Romance ~ The Foundations of Decay 39 201,700 Southstar ~ Miss You In one of the big pieces of ~chart drama~ in the year we had Miss You by Southstar take off on TikTok however this was cashed in by Robin Schulz due to his label connection with Oliver Tree whose song Jerk was the basis of the track. Naturally I gravitated towards the original remix version, although this was also influence by it having a far more tolerable vocal. It was great to see high-BPM dance having somewhat of a comeback this year with this anyhow, I do enjoy the euro dance influence in the production. Having teased a comeback for many years, we finally got a new single from My Chemical Romance this year. They could have come back with a really commercial track and attempt to re-do their big 00s hits however we ended up with a six-minute hard rock epic. It seems to have been a one-off with no promise of an album (the track was put out in May and was their only release this year) but it was proof they still have it in them. They're of course sandwiched by two dance hits as just above we have Becky Hill. 'My Heart Goes' was #111 in last year's EOY chart, though it would have been comfortably top 100 with the tail end of its chart run included which just about puts it in this year's Mainstream top 40. It remains a great house bop and none of her releases this year were quite as good - although two of them are still yet to appear in the Mainstream chart. Mainstream (non-dance) Pop threw up a couple of surprises with two of them appearing in this here section. First up it is only the biggest UK hit of the year in 'As It Was', the first (and so far, only) of Harry Styles' solo efforts to have reached my chart. I've never been a fan of his but this was certainly a catchy well-written pop track. And it also brought back bells to the chart outside of Christmas. Then later in the year Taylor Swift casually released her best song in many years and it was of course rewarded by being her longest-running UK #1 hit. 'Anti-Hero' had a little bit of help by Kungs remixing it, though it does work better in its original form outside of my workout playlist. Another catchy well-written pop track here, I just wish the rest of the album had a little more to it in the production like this one though. Another song losing a place in the EOY 200 due to its release date now we have 'The Motto' or "Tomato" from Tiësto & Ava Max. The song slowly crept up the UK chart this year but peaked for me quickly upon release last November. It didn't quite do 'the business' for me (pun intended) but it's a fun commercial dance bop. Tiësto will be seen here again in the not too distant future.
December 16, 20222 yr I lost support for Robin Schulz after that Southstar "Miss You" controversy, I do support the original by Southstar, even if I find the song tolerable overall. "My Heart Goes" still sounds great, but again I see it as a 2021 hit (I'll stop this thing entirely, it's getting old). "As It Was", "Anti-Hero"and "The Motto" will appear on my Year-End list as well. I'm more happy about "Anti-Hero", my favourite Taylor Swift song appears in your Year-end list!
December 17, 20222 yr Author MAINSTREAM 75 WAifgn2Cvo8 28 268,800 Beyoncé ~ Break My Soul 29 265,000 Wilkinson ~ Here For You [feat. Becky Hill] 30 264,300 Sam Fender ~ Seventeen Going Under 31 254,100 Disclosure and Raye ~ Waterfall 32 253,900 Joel Corry and Becky Hill ~ History 33 248,100 Cat Burns ~ Go [Goddard. Remix] One of the year's biggest UK hits due to TikTok exposure, 'Go' gave Cat Burns her first and so far only hit. Naturally I gravitated towards Goddard's DnB remix, which itself was almost as big as the original version in the streaming charts - with him joining Luude in reviving the genre in the mainstream chart. 2022 was another prolific year for Becky Hill, and the inevitable happened when she teamed up with Joel Corry for 'History'. It was nothing new for Joel with it being a lite piano-house bop, with the addition of Becky's vocals certainly helping to make it stand out a little bit more. It got about what it deserved in the chart really. Another of the regular dance collaborators now with Raye, teaming with Disclosure for 'Waterfall'. This was one of the boys' more mainstream efforts in recent history but their name power could only give this a short run at the bottom end of the top 100. It wasn't my favourite Disclosure track of the year but as far as UK garage goes this does sound great. A rare indie hit now, having been released last year before belatedly reaching its chart peak early this year it was the first and biggest for Sam Fender in my chart. A very well-written and performed song that ultimately I couldn't ignore once it took off big in the UK chart, and a song that was refreshing to see high up before it inevitably stuck around for ages. The DnB chart revival managed to give Wilkinson a couple of minor hits, many years since he was last seen in the chart. Firstly here we have what was his long-awaited reuniting with Becky Hill, nearly a decade on from their debut chart appearances in 'Afterglow'. This didn't quite manage to re-create the magic of that, but clearly that wasn't the vibe they were even trying for here, going more for emotional than anthemic. It is a lovely song anyhow but ultimately Wilkinson's other hit was a fair bit better. Finally before we reach the top 200 we have Beyoncé - her long-awaited comeback single turned out to be a nod to 90s house so that had me intrigued. She certainly did it well too with her diva vocals and I enjoy the lyrical sentiment of not letting the stress of everyday life get to you (even if Beyoncé clearly doesn't plan on quitting her job of being Beyoncé anytime soon haha). It was my favourite song of hers for many years, though I haven't listened to the whole accompanying album.

I don't prevent songs from appearing on two EOY lists if they chart in overlapping periods. I expect Anti-Hero will be well inside your EOY top 100 then thanks~

This was my favourite track taken from the project, and also narrowly the biggest UK hit from it. I do enjoy the actual funk influence here and the strings are a nice touch, but ultimately it is just B-rate Feels.

Purple Disco Machine had remixed another track from Italo dance group Kano (not to be confused with the UK grime rapper of the same name), however I checked their Spotify page and quickly gravitated more towards this. It's a great 80s disco-esque track that I think has aged very well and could reasonably be described as a lost classic. Although it sadly did not perform too well when I got the chance to use it for a song contest which was 80s themed. Top 100 Chart History Kano 2022 12 Can't Hold Back (Your Loving) +++ #196 Spiritbox ~ Rotoscope Date Entered: 01/07/2022 Sales: 280,400 Chart Run: 7-9-11-25-37-60-84-x [7 weeks] Video Wpl28kp5WVA Rock music isn't generally my thing but by chance I stumbled upon Canadian band Spiritbox and decided they were actually rather good.

December 19, 20222 yr 'Stay With Me' I definitely preferred over 'Potion' so I'm glad it was the better performing of the two Calvin singles this year. 'Rotoscope' sounding pretty decent there too. I'm very much one to take a liking to rock music myself so from seeing the mention I checked it out and agree she has a great voice indeed!

Well this song is at least one of those things, with a runtime of 11:38 and perhaps what is the longest wait in a song for the first verse which comes in just past the six minute mark. I was immediately intrigued from the first play however with its piano intro. The whole thing is just a vibe with its percussion, vocals and atmosphere.

The first of these is the bassy house track 'Jungle', a song that was refreshing to see make the UK top 100 for being unique in the current commercial landscape although sadly it couldn't get near the top 40. It's a track packed with a lot of energy and must have helped him gain further popularity this year anyhow. Top 100 Chart History Fred Again.. 2021 08 Marea (We've Lost Dancing) (feat.

This one has a bit more of a techno influence than many of his particularly with a big stuttering synth breakdown towards the end. It is his highest track this year. Top 100 Chart History Boris Brejcha 2020 01 Gravity (feat. Laura Korinth) MILLIONAIRE 2020 32 Chameleon 2020 50 Puzzle (feat.

It was the first release for the former big room producer Maurice West, under his new alias Mau P, and indeed I much prefer this style that he's now doing. With such a catchy hook and the rave synth teasing, it certainly stood out amongst the many commercial tech house tracks people have been putting out recently. Top 100 Chart History Mau P 2019 41 ResuRection (Planet Perfecto Knights; Maurice West Remix) 2019 88 Matrix (W&W & Maurice West) 2022 21 Drugs From Amsterdam +++ #183 [EOY #64, 2021] Ben Böhmer ~ Escalate [feat.

It's more grand than the typical melodic house that gets put out but that only helps it be a stand-out here. And for Ben being one of the more influential and forward thinking producers in this field perhaps we'll get a few more tracks like it next year from others.The first of two 2021 leftovers for Ben Böhmer in this chart, he took the year out aside from a remix album and live album. Hope to hear more new material from him before too long, but until then this and the forthcoming 'Beyond Beliefs' remain great. Top 100 Chart History Ben Böhmer 2018 43 After Earth 2020 18 Cappadocia (feat.

We'd finally get an album from them, yay. Would it live up to their old material? No. Would it even give them a hit single? Well thanks to The Weeknd, yes. And to give them credit, this is a great track, and a total re-tread of their old stuff would have likely been disappointing too. SHM give Abel's vocal the space it needs making this seem more like a true collaboration, but not at the expense of a great modern-style SHM drop. Top 100 Chart History Swedish House Mafia 2010 11 One (Your Name) (feat.

December 19, 20222 yr Hi Dan! Nice to see "Moth To A Flame" and "Stay With Me" in here. "Stay With Me" will definitely be in my Year-End singles list as well. Great so far!
December 19, 20222 yr Giving Fever a listen now, sounding pretty nice! It's been a while since I've listened to either Hugel or Quarterhead so nice to give this a listen, a pretty chilled out track.
