James Blunt rising this year, I actually really like his stuff

Fred again.. faves for me are 'Marea (We've Lost Dancing)', 'Jungle' and 'Strong' (or if that doesnt count as he isn't lead then 'Enough').

I think it’s hard to overestimate the impact Buddy Holly had in such a short time. His career only began in the second half of the 1950s and he died in February 1959 aged 22 and yet his legacy is huge. When you think of 50s music you think of sleepy croony ballads - it’s people like Buddy and Little Richard who kickstarted the transition to rock and roll.

I actually had no idea Buddy Holly died so young :o that really is quite a lasting impact for such a short career!

Fred Again.. is immense, and has been so prolific so even though he's not been around for long it doesn't feel like it. Not many live events I've wished I was at as much as his Glasto set this year. Great that he's a regular in the charts, very deserving.

 

 

4 Minute Warning is a great track and it did well a bit after his TT careers of the 90s.

 

Also Buddy Holly’s track is a classic.

 

Surprised Rick Astley didn’t rise considering his year!

4 Minute Warning is a great track and it did well a bit after his TT careers of the 90s.

I wouldn't even put 'Four Minute Warning' in my top 10 Mark Owen tracks! Some of his album tracks and B-sides are amazing. 'Close To The Edge' from his second album is probably my ultimate Mark Owen song.

I don't really know Mark's solo music (I enjoy a couple of his lead songs in Take That, notably Shine despite the overplay and Hold Up a Light), but Four Minute Warning sounds really good!

James Blunt is so underrated!

 

Haven't checked his latest album, but I do love one of his new single from the Greatest Hits album called Unstoppable.

 

 

His 2017 collaboration with the infamous Robin Schulz was a lovely one too. I'm sure it wasn't really far from reaching UK 100, right? :unsure:

 

Spiceboy losing points. :o

How did I forget to vote for Tyler :hithead: Most of his albums are incredible although 'Goblin' was not a good way to start his career :lol:

Some decent ones since I last commented. I enjoy songs by Mark Owen, Mark Ronson, Adam Lambert, Buddy Holly and David Gray. Also do like a good amount of James Blunt tracks too despite the hate he gets which is understandable at the same time. 'Carry You Home' being my ultimate fave of his.

 

Nice to see I've not lost anymore of my votes since the top 100 has begun but I should expect that'll probably change soon as there's a couple I'm expecting to drop out!

I'll post No's 71-73 tomorrow so we're ready for the top 70 after Christmas.

 

I'll update the voters chart as well- how will you be doing?

Tyler :wub: would be quite highly ranked for me. Agreed his more recent music is a lot better than his earliest material but I'm lying if I say I don't still think 'Yonkers' is a banger (problematic lyrics aside) x Fred again.. would possibly have made my list too, definitely the most exciting name in mainstream dance music right now, agreed on 'Delilah (pull me out of this)' being his best hit I think but I've been a fan of most of his charting songs! Generally a fan of Mark Ronson too, I think 'Record Collection' may be my favourite era of his which is probably an unpopular opinion.

 

'Babylon' by David Gray is a big favourite for me but I'm not nearly as big a fan of anything else I've heard from him.

Behind but just wanted to share some Four Minute Warning hype. Great track from Mark Owen.

Big fall for Adam Lambert, my 30 pointer! :love: him and his music!
