January 14, 20232 yr Hey Daan! Thanks for the fantastic countdown. Great to see your BJSC entries all finish so highly here, you've been on great form in 2022. Love that BOTA is so high (obviously) ย Cloudline [Parra for Cuva Reimagination] is gorgeous. I'm itching for a new Parra for Cuva era :cry: a great #1 as well. 'Won't Forget You' deserved to be a follow up smash for Shouse, but I think it did quite well in Eastern Europe at least
January 14, 20232 yr Hey Dan! :hi: these are my favourites since I last commented, big catch-up:ย 01 1,857,100 Shouse ~ Won't Forget You 05 1,220,500 Lane 8 ~ What Have You Done To Me? [feat.

Shame that one didn't take off like 'Love Tonight' as they're both great.ย Lots of great dance here as expected but my absolute favourite of the electronic picks is 'Oh, Lover' ~ Rรถyksopp and Susanne are such a reliable collaborative team :heart:ย I had forgotten about that version of 'California Dreamin' despite it scraping into my chart so thanks for the reminder! It surprisingly works.ย Some fab rock-leaning picks here with 'Mary On A Cross' and 'Doomscroller' :wub: the former was a welcome TikTok hit (even if they played the slowed down version on the chart x) and the latter is so epic and intense. The accompanying album is great but that is, unsurprisingly, the best song on it - was always going to be impossible to top!ย Kate Bush was of course another highlight this year in terms of chart moments :wub: what a classic.ย Great job with this EOY thread :clap:
January 15, 20232 yr Hey Dan! I don't know much of your top 40 unsurprisingly, but good to see Afraid to Feel in your top 10. Stood out in a positive way in the chart and it's no wonder it was so big.
January 24, 20232 yr Author going to slowly catch up on personal charts now that I'm back from holiday!ย Hey Daan! Thanks for the fantastic countdown. Great to see your BJSC entries all finish so highly here, you've been on great form in 2022. Love that BOTA is so high (obviously) ย Cloudline [Parra for Cuva Reimagination] is gorgeous. I'm itching for a new Parra for Cuva era :cry: a great #1 as well. 'Won't Forget You' deserved to be a follow up smash for Shouse, but I think it did quite well in Eastern Europe at leastglad you enjoyed following the countdown! would be nice to hear some new material from Parra for Cuva this year indeed particularly something in the style of Cloudline and Sumidero. I'm very pleased with how Won't Forget You performed regardless of it doing nothing in the UK, Shouse very easily could have just been a complete one hit wonder but this got them another 100m+ Spotify streams across its various versions. thanks Kath ~ย Hey Dan! :hi: these are my favourites since I last commented, big catch-up:ย I remember the 'Won't Forget You' domination in your chart so that definitely makes sense as a #1 pick here.

Royksopp & Susanne work very well together, 'Oh, Lover' and 'Stay Awhile' should both do particularly well in 2023's EOY too. A dance rework of such a classic as California Dreaming could easily have been rubbish (and indeed my dad thinks this version is so) but Chris Lorenzo did the song justice really. Mary On A Cross was certainly one of the better TikTok boosted hits, Doomscroller is indeed so but I haven't got around to checking anything else from the Metric album. thanks Jade ~ย Hey Dan! I don't know much of your top 40 unsurprisingly, but good to see Afraid to Feel in your top 10. Stood out in a positive way in the chart and it's no wonder it was so big.glad you quite enjoyed Afraid to Feel as my top mainstream hit of the year! hope to see a few more like it in this year. thanks Joseph ~ย

May 28, 20232 yr Hey Dan!ย Lots to appreciate in here.ย Some good BJSC entries of yours, and LF System was pretty much my favourite UK No.1 of the year too, maybe just about tied with Eliza. Such a refreshing choice of summer dance anthem.ย Lauren is such a good track, I kept hearing that when I was in Germany last week weirdly, shame that didn't take off.ย Quite a lot of trance I need to check out in here, some of the stuff I already know is great.
December 7, 20231 yr Author #late ย thanks yallย 01 Shouse ~ Won't Forget You (a well-deserved winner. I definitely prefer this to "Love Tonight")both are absolutely amazing, hard to say which will hold up better in time as both were massive hits for me.ย 06 1,202,600 Driftmoon ~ Nova Imperatrix Great entry! 07 1,126,100 LF System ~ Afraid To Feel a big tune 13 954,400 Grum ~ Look to the Light this sounded pretty epic to me, glad it was such a smash too 21 805,400 Alok, Ella Eyre and Kenny Dope ~ Deep Down [feat.
