December 26, 20222 yr Really like "Somebody", "Saudade Saudade" and "River" on here, the latter both are great Eurovision songs.
December 26, 20222 yr Author Love Brand New, Feel Love, Your Love :wub: Was wondering whether you found Feel Love from my chart? :thinking: I think I got it from EPIC (the indie thing I do with Chris/Enric/Elin), it could well be the case that one of them got it from your chart! Thanks Jack ^_^ 'Somebody' wasn't particularly the kind of single Sam should have picked to follow up 'SPACE MAN' with imo. It's ok enough if say I time travelled back to 2005 but not now lol. Each to their own I guess! I really like it but get why it wasn't a massive chart hit. Really like "Somebody", "Saudade Saudade" and "River" on here, the latter both are great Eurovision songs. Glad you're a fan of these three - two fab Eurovision songs there! Thanks Sergej ^_^
December 26, 20222 yr Hi Pete Neither of the two recent Eurovision entries have been particularly memorable ones for me but I do remember the Polish one being one of the better ones. Loving your countdown! I'm enjoying reading about a lot of songs that I'm not that familiar with. :D
December 26, 20222 yr 'saudade, saudade' is gorgeous, easily one of my favourite ESC songs from this year :wub: During the contest I wasn't that into River, but it's really grown on me!

His vocals aren't particularly 'special' but they have a quality that makes me want to keep going back to them, and the way it all kicks off in the chorus is fantastic.

December 27, 20222 yr Author #84 (1080pts) Systur Með hækkandi sól - Chart Statistics NE (21/5/2022) 15-15-17-16-13-14-19-24-27-31-41-56-60-66-75-78-90-xx Video vk9D10EyxHA Commentary A lot of Eurovision songs are around this part of the charts! There always seems to be one song at Eurovision that does absoutely nothing for me on the night but slowly grows on me over the coming days. This year that song was Iceland's trio of 'Systur-s' (still can't get that Graham Norton remark out of my head), Systur. It's a lovely country track that stayed solid for me for a good time after Eurovision and thus gets them into my EOY. Top 100 Chart History Systur 2022 13 Með hækkandi sól

I haven't heard from Kwabs since 'Walk' from 2015-ish but it doesn't look like he's lost any of his talent, and this was another decent dance offering from Regard as well.

Video tVx1WDySI2o Commentary LZ7 are probably best known for some campaign songs which cracked the chart in the early 2010s and... weren't that good. I really like this once though, think dance from the first half of the last decade. 'If you wanna talk, let's talk about love' indeed! Top 100 Chart History LZ7 2022 08 Energy 2022 33 Last Night

Loving your countdown! I'm enjoying reading about a lot of songs that I'm not that familiar with. :D Glad you're enjoying it! I get the feeling we probably enjoyed different Eurovision songs to each other but who knows! Thanks Lewis ^_^ 'saudade, saudade' is gorgeous, easily one of my favourite ESC songs from this year :wub: During the contest I wasn't that into River, but it's really grown on me! Glad both have become favourites for you! Both fab songs - thanks Ansel ^_^
December 27, 20222 yr I do like Somebody but Sam Ryder has better tracks I do think. Deep Blue Doubt would've been a great follow-up to SPACE MAN I think!
December 27, 20222 yr Ooh Signals is surprisingly decent for Regard! I think that also peaked top 20 for me
December 28, 20222 yr Really like seeing "Með hækkandi sól" (Wasn't expecting this song in the finals myself!) and "Signals" from your latest selection.

This is a lovely folk-y worship song, wihtout too many words but still speaking out about wanting to be near God. Top 100 Chart History Valley of the Moon 2022 02 Lead Me Up the Mountain

Video q-ix3mW-L5Y Commentary It took me absolutely ages for me to get into this song - it was on my playlist for weeks without me even remembering how it went - but once I was into it I was INTO it (can't think of a better way to describe it!) A fab indie track with a few more prominent guitars than I often get into but with a chorus which became an earworm after enogh listens!

I think Ezra sounds really good on a dance song, and contrary to popular opinion I quite like the chorus and don't think of it being nursery-rhyme-y at all!

This speaks to me a lot - growing up as a neurodivergent child in state education was not easy! But God has got me through it to where I am, even in times when I haven't fully trusted him. Things have never been perfect but God has got me, and I know will get me, through so much.

Really like seeing "Með hækkandi sól" (Wasn't expecting this song in the finals myself!) and "Signals" from your latest selection. Glad you enjoy both - I don't listen to Eurovision songs until the Final itself so didn't have any expectations but I'm glad Með hækkandi sól made it in! Thanks Sergej ^_^
