Reed Deming was a completely unknown entity, and with the not-so-great design of his artworks, it was clear he didn't have a big backing behind him either. However, previewing Crash Test Dummy (Broken), I was very impressed. Not only did Reed's voice sound great, but the lyrics struck a chord with me. The song is about fitting in and hoping people accept you for you, and it's a song that remains one of my big favourites nowadays too. The track shot to a #1 debut and returned for a second week two weeks later, becoming the first of two chart-toppers for Reed. In the years since, Reed's had an inconsistent presence in my top 40, though he scored a top 5 hit just a couple of years back with Overthinking, from his album Second Life, a #1 album in my album chart.

The track's peak actually came then! It was blocked from #1 by Girls Aloud's Something New, and with the proper version and later the Sean Paul version coming along to extend its run significantly, that #2 peak stands out as odd in The Saturdays' chart history, because it's their longest running hit (from 24th Dec 2011 onwards, anything else predates my chart). Of course, the song provided the girls with their long-awaited UK #1 single, and I was so excited for them! It's still one of my favourite tracks of theirs, and the Sean Paul version is my go-to nowadays. It's also the biggest track never to reach #1 in my chart's history!

December 26, 20222 yr Author 12 | 921 points Alyssa Reid The Game 2nd single from The Game Released: 31st May 2011 Label: Polydor Chart Run NE (04/02/2012) | 3-3-3-4-5-6-7-11-17-17-18-x RE (28/07/2012) | 21-15-7-6-5-3-1-2-2-2-5-7-11-14-19-21-26-x EOY | 7th, 2012 Video JbvZU6_MKow Commentary Debuting the same week I discovered Alone Again and their joint parent album, The Game held the #3 spot for the first three weeks after it debuted. It was already the second single from the album by that point in Alyssa's home country of Canada, where both Alone Again and The Game had been hits the year before. The UK was slow, though, and it took an entire 9 months to follow Alone Again's January release up. All momentum was lost and The Game stood no chance with no radio support either, failing to chart, but it re-entered my own chart in the run-up and managed to peak at #1, becoming Alyssa's second of six chart-toppers to date. Numerous versions of the song exist, including the album version, the track's original radio version, and the Snoop Dogg remix made for the UK, though my version of choice nowadays is the "no rap version" of the Snoop Remix, with the improved production but without Snoop's phoned-in verse :kink: Top 40 Chart History 04/02/2012 | 01 | 74 weeks | Alone Again | 1 | 1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4-6-7-3-7-7-9-8-11-12-15-12-12-14-15-15-16-17-18-19-20-17-18-14-19-25-21-21-22-25-19-25-28-29-22-22-23-12-18-22-21-25-20-19-14-20-24-23-19-15-17-19-19-20-23-26-22-11-15-16-25-31-39-x-19-... 04/02/2012 | 01 | 28 weeks | The Game | 2 | 3-3-3-4-5-6-7-11-17-17-18-x-21-15-7-6-5-3-1-2-2-2-5-7-11-14-19-21-26-x 21/04/2012 | 20 | 01 weeks | Talk Me Down | 3 | 20-x 16/02/2013 | 24 | 01 weeks | Rewind Again (feat.

I'd discovered him at the start of 2011, not long after I'd started getting into Justin Bieber's music, and Cody was the perfect follow-up. Wish U Were Here was released on Cody's Preview to Paradise EP in 2012, a short EP teasing his debut album (shockingly called Paradise x) which included three of those four songs, including this one. It was a hit in my chart from the start, but Wish U Were Here's major impact came months later, through a chat I had with our very own Haus. He discovered the song, and Cody's music, through my 2012 EOY and what came next was a mutual love for the song (and a blossoming friendship with one of my closest friends of today). It soared into my top 5, dropping back down before rebounding all over again, peaking at #21 in its 21st week in my top 40 and becoming Cody's second chart-topper of five. Becky G, who provides a guest rap, hasn't been back to #1 since, but she's notched up a few low top 40 hits as well as a top 10 on Sean Paul's Mad Love.

December 26, 20222 yr Author 10 | 940 points The Kid LAROI NEED YOU MOST (So Sick) 3rd single from F*CK LOVE Released: 12th June 2012 Label: Warner Music Group Chart Run NE (01/08/2020) | 30-1-1-1-1-2-3-4-10-13-15-17-17-17-20-9-7-14-18-23-23-22-15-17-24-27-25-30-34-34-31-35-38-x RE (31/07/2021) | 35-x RE (23/07/2022) | 2-6-18-34-x EOY | 1st, 2020 Video LZFcE8iPgAw Commentary The song that kickstarted The Kid LAROI's chart domination back in 2020 came pretty much out of nowhere. I checked out the song GO out of curiosity, seeing it almost make the UK top 40 and then his mixtape almost make the top 10 made me curious as to who The Kid LAROI actually was. I quite liked GO and ended up checking out a few tracks from the mixtape (before I'd ultimately heard the entire thing out of sequence). NEED YOU MOST intrigued me with its sample of Ne-Yo's So Sick. The familiar melody of a song I quite liked (but never loved!) was enough to reel me into the world of Laroi, appreciating his vocal style and new take on this version. This was late one Thursday night, which allowed the song to debut at #30 in my chart (which I type up Fridays) before shooting to a very easy #1 debut the next week, while all 11 songs from the mixtape found their way into my top 40. This track was the one that prevailed longer than the rest, though. After four weeks at the top, it remained in my chart, shooting back to the top 10 upon the re-issue of the album and re-entering the top 40 again with the final F*CK LOVE re-issue in 2021. After I saw Laroi live, and heard this song live for the first time in a very magical moment (and even told Laroi how much I loved it!), it re-entered at #2 for another stint in my chart, undoubtedly pushing it into the top 10 of this chart. I still love it very much, though at the time, I had no idea that an even bigger song was around the corner!

December 26, 20222 yr Author 09 | 974 points Shawn Mendes Stitches 3rd single from Handwritten Released: 5th May 2015 Label: Island Records Chart Run NE (01/08/2015) | 34-15-18-23-34-x RE (03/10/2015) | 24-3-5-8-15-17-23-30-37-39-36-26-11-5-1-1-1-2-2-4-4-5-11-13-19-19-22-25-27-35-35-14-16-26-32-37-40-x EOY | 2nd, 2016 Video VbfpW0pbvaU Commentary I'd been interested in everything I'd heard from Shawn Mendes by the time his debut album came out. Initially, though, Handwritten didn't particularly grab me. It took a few months for even Stitches, initially a promotional single, to make my chart, and when it did, it topped out at #15 before heading back down. Fast forward a couple of months and Stitches seemed to be getting a single push (at last, the previous single, Something Big, came out almost a year before!), so I re-added it to my playlist and it climbed all the way up to #3, before sinking down again. However, Stitches began to rise the global charts, and as someone who'd followed Shawn closely since Life of the Party surfaced, I was excited. Handwritten had grown on me exponentially, and Stitches wasn't dying in my affections. It soared back up as it entered the UK chart, ultimately spending three weeks at #1, just one more than it spent there in the UK! Seeing Stitches blossom remains one of my favourite chart success stories, and its run in my chart is nothing short of insane, with so many false starts, peaks and troughs. It was Shawn's first #1 as a lead artist, and the second of eight he's achieved so far. It's also the last song below 1000 points!

December 26, 20222 yr 'Stitches' :wub: I was pleasantly surprised and still am to this day that it's a UK #1 :o I just thought it'd be peak top 5 only haha!
December 26, 20222 yr It probably isn't my absolute favourite from them but I do love What About Us. I was really pleased that it gave them a UK #1. I haven't heard it for ages though so I might give it a spin now. :D

Despite really enjoying Iggy's previous three singles (although Work itself was a big grower), I didn't enjoy Fancy at all on first listen. I remember hearing the leak, entitled Leave It, before Charli XCX joined the track, and I didn't enjoy that much either. I revisited it a couple of weeks after it premiered and it grew on me a bit, but the main factor in the song doing such a huge U-turn on me was the music video. Iggy always excels with her visuals, and Fancy's video, even though I still haven't seen the film it was referencing, was so colourful and fun, and it brought the song to life. The song peaked at #1 for just one week, but spent a huge 20 weeks in my top 20 and became my EOY #1 of 2014. From a song I didn't like at all, to Iggy and Charli's biggest hit and the 8th biggest in my chart's history!

December 27, 20222 yr Author 07 | 1162 points Lucie Silvas Hide & Seek Unreleased rarity Released: 2012 Label: N/A Chart Run NE (28/04/2012) | 1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-4-4-4-5-6-8-11-12-16-18-18-23-28-x RE (29/12/2012) | 30-28-36-37-x EOY | 32nd, 2012 Video AJlGqCFsyqM Commentary One of the more curious songs to feature for a number of reasons! Lucie Silvas was one of the biggest names to feature in the early years of my charts. Two of her #1 singles, though, haven't received an official release and were discovered on places like Soundcloud. Hide & Seek was one of those. It was suspected to be part of her long-delayed third album Letters to Ghosts, but didn't make the ultimate tracklist when it arrived in 2015. Nevertheless, Hide & Seek was a big hit in my chart when I found it, and its run in the top 2 remains unprecedented - 15 weeks! I redid my 2012 EOY, where Hide & Seek had initially been #1, which is fair enough as there are still two 2012 songs to come in this countdown, though I was a little harsh - 32nd! Nevertheless, it's not one I've been back to much since it left my chart, but it's still a great track and I'd have loved to see it on an album of Lucie's.

December 28, 20222 yr Author 06 | 1268 points Ulrik Munther Heroes in Defeat (Change Your Mind) Album track from Ulrik Munther Released: 24th August 2011 Label: Universal Music Chart Run NE (28/04/2012) | 1-1-1-1-2-2-2-4-4-6-8-9-9-7-8-14-10-7-8-6-5-5-5-6-11-15-17-17-13-7-11-15-20-21-22-24-30-20-27-32-40-x EOY | 1st, 2013 Video kTQQAf-DkUM Commentary On paper this looks like one of the most random big hits in my chart's history. With no prior hits to his name, a 2 year old album track from Ulrik Munther's self-titled album debuted at #1. Context helps to explain it a little. With his pending Melodifestivalen return, Buzzjack's own RobBot recommended Ulrik to me as someone I might enjoy (with his previous Melfest track Soldiers). He was right, and I delved into Ulrik's album, loving the entire thing but the one song that really struck a chord with me was this one. An anthem about being yourself in spite of growing up and losing sight of the dreams you have as a child. It's a song that still strikes a chord with me and is undoubtedly an all-time favourite track. It was the first of 10 chart-toppers from Ulrik to date, with the most recent being in early 2021.

December 28, 20222 yr Author 05 | 1379 points Girls Aloud Something New 1st single from Ten Released: 16th November 2012 Label: Polydor Chart Run NE (20/10/2012) | 1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-1-2-3-4-3-3-3-3-5-6-8-7-5-7-8-8-9-9-13-12-12-16-14-20-23-30-37-x RE (11/09/2021) | 10-x EOY | 1st, 2012 Video ZHSFTrcJYmM Commentary Of course, the only fully promoted Girls Aloud single released during my chart's tenure had to feature! Something New was long awaited, with it being three years since Girls Aloud were last active as a group. The song leaked during the week leading up to its official premiere, and it debuted at #1 with complete ease. Over a period of 11 weeks, Something New spent 8 at the top, which was a record until the first week of 2022 when a certain song overtook. Girls Aloud disbanded not long after this song's release, and with the sad passing of Sarah Harding in 2021, it's unlikely we'll ever have new Girls Aloud music (but entirely understandable). Nevertheless, a seventh Girls Aloud top 10 hit was achieved in my chart this week as I Wanna Kiss You So climbed to #10 (this thread is reflective of my chart's 11 years up to the week before the current one, so I've not updated the chart history below). Something New still holds up so well, and was the second highest Girls Aloud track the week after Sarah's tragic passing, with only Sarah co-write Hear Me Out doing better.
