February 20, 20232 yr 55. Showtek featuring We Are Loud and Sonny Wilson - Booyah 101pts Writers - Sjoerd Janssen, Wouter Janssen, Daniël Ortgiess, Björn van den Biggelaar Top points - Cow Cow 24, coi 24, Daan 19 I hadn't heard this before but I was close to giving it some points. I did find it quite infectious. Glad you enjoyed the discovery after I gave it a wildcard in the first round! Booyah is such a big high energy banger that puts so many elements together, feels a bit forgotten these days but I still love it, one of the very best songs from the EDM explosion around that time :heart:
February 20, 20232 yr Worth noting however, that 'Bad' was anything but a minor hit, despite a #22 peak it was a bigger hit than 'Booyah', in terms of streaming and longevity! Of course it helped a lot that David Guetta got the lead billing for that. I barely remember 'Bad' but pretty sure it was nowhere even close to as good as 'Booyah' so at least the higher peak is deserved x (their third hit I had to look up and truly have no memory of at all) Disappointing to see that out so early as it's definitely one of the most standout dance hits of recent years (actually maybe getting a bit too old now to call it 'recent' oops). Also lost 'Finesse' from my votes already but not too sad to see that one go, it was the inferior Bruno song here anyway, hopefully '24K Magic' can do a bit better. 'Heathens' was quite close to my votes too, not overly keen / familiar with any of the others.
February 20, 20232 yr Shame 'Joan Of Arc' has gone so early. Probably my second favourite OMD record behind 'Walking On The Milky Way'. Somewhat annoying that the other 'Joan Of Arc' record overshadowed this (the lack of a music video probably didn't help) but there you go.

February 21, 20232 yr Abba does the Bee Gees! It is very Bee Gees but such a bop all the same! :heart:
February 21, 20232 yr Well, I couldn't expect much from this Avicii song. Looking forward to the Ultimate No. 6 next year with Avicii having three songs peaking at that position. I might be or might not be giving one of them wildcard points because there's a classic '60s song I wanted to give it a +30 too! :lol: Edited February 21, 20232 yr by Cow Cow
February 21, 20232 yr Lost 2 more of my votes but they were only very low down - one of Avicii's best songs for me though (and feels quite underrated in his discog) and 'I Like To Move It' is a bop as well.
