January 18, 20241 yr Author 24 ggKNDdxFD-E?si=uwaJNgr9c77YkCsC 11 minutes of this wonderful track that Dan sent to BJSC 152 and was a big fave for me from the first listen. It places at 24 on the countdown!
January 18, 20241 yr Author 23 VS6ixn2berk?si=xsgOEVX5EqCu1NyH My top song on Spotify doesn't make the top 20 here but I do still find it a big bop. 'Red Wine Supernova' from Chappell Roan is number 23. There's a lot of competition within the top 20 and even couple outside and Chappell is apart of that for me!
January 18, 20241 yr Author 22 gDer3auuBvA?si=H6_Op4cMkhmNVtXN The 3rd highest BJSC related that isn't any of mine comes at 22 in the form of 'Strawberry Jam' by Waterbaby. An ethereal enigma esque track which has a lot of interesting components going on in it. It's certainly one that kept drawing me back in as well and deservedly did well in BJSC. Thanks to Jade for sending it!
January 18, 20241 yr Author 21 S2TaAcwC_zI?si=L4cOy79OJ1iCx_cW and the unlucky song to miss out on top 20 is 'Strangers' by Kenya Grace who went to #1 in the UK Chart in October and also becoming the 2nd act in history behind Kate Bush to top the chart being a self written, performed and produced track. Pretty good going that!

January 18, 20241 yr I'd forgotten about Eastbound Silhouette but I think I remember liking it quite a bit, giving it a listen again now and the laidback ambience to it really works.
January 18, 20241 yr Author I'd forgotten about Eastbound Silhouette but I think I remember liking it quite a bit, giving it a listen again now and the laidback ambience to it really works. It is very laidback. Certainly made for a nice listen each time. Was relieved the shorter version didn't hinder it's performance in BJSC!
January 18, 20241 yr Author 20 dqP9vrvL1_k?si=xF8qBSmRPjCDsUuW Dzivia is a Belarusian music project created by a composer Artur Matveenko and was sent to... BJSC 152 (the contest I hosted clearly showing a lot of dominance here, a testament to the quality of stuff entered to it x). FSR Rontvia (gooddelta) came 2nd with this wonderous track but it did deserve to give them long awaited return back to their winning ways as well. It impressively manages to nab 20th song of 2023 for me!
January 18, 20241 yr Hey Roba :hi: these are my favourites since I last commented: 20. Dzivia - Voryva 22. Waterbaby - Strawberry Jam 27. Taylor Swift - Enchanted (Taylor's Version) 29.

Troye Sivan - Rush Oh wow, 'Strawberry Jam' as high as #22?! I'm absolutely delighted that it was such a 2023 highlight for you :wub: would also recommend their new song 'Butterfly House'! Willow Kayne deserved better for Summericia </3 although at least she qualified, don't get me started on the ††† robbery again x 'I like u' was another bop from Tove Lo! Glad it performed really well in the latest Pop Forum Song Contest as I remember feeling like she was a glaring omission in the last 'best of the year' edition. 'Only In My Mind' is a great tune from Kenya! I'll have to pray for it to belatedly take off on TikTok or something :P It was awesome to have post-punk sounds within the top 100 courtesy of that ThxSoMuch song! Shame it couldn't quite crack the top 40 but I'll take any kind of hit status. Fabulous stuff so far, looking forward to seeing what else has made your top 20!
January 20, 20241 yr Author 19 2bpMSpFTdzM?si=WEOIOzuWxmX7-VDQ In at number 19 we have Lizzy McAlpine with 'ceilings' which was a top 10 hit thanks to.. you guessed it another TikTok target song. It's a really nice uplifting track and she's sings it so eloquently!
January 20, 20241 yr Author 18 Nc3dBG1NesE?si=h5qt0d4rJcQv_HtZ Well I wasn't banking of Anne-Marie appearing in one of these again considering her quality of music over the past 5 or so years which whilst I was a fan at the start of everything she certainly lost me over time but 'UNHEALTHY' comes along and voila it's a superb track which also features the pop country queen Shania Twain who has put out several tunes in her time. It finds itself at 18!
January 20, 20241 yr Author 17 vSfffjHjdTk?si=7LiIKrUpsXR2Okix Alessandra (Mele) represented Norway for Eurovision in 2023 and out came an absolute banger in the form of 'Queen of Kings' which finished 5th place. It was my overall favourite song at the time but it has been only just surpassed by one other one.
January 20, 20241 yr Author 16 rJWdfDPZ9Ck?si=SD6PkBFShAelzNzu Libianca with 'People' comes at 16 which is just a really lush track imo but others did critique it for being boring which I guess from a production standpoint is understandable to be honest. Still it became a rightfully big hit for her and originally I had this at 10 before I reordered as there were some others I did so slightly prefer to it. A top 20 year end result is fantastic nonetheless!
January 20, 20241 yr Author 15 U-b5gDWVnps?si=EKH2QuaMqrjSchLC Käärijä the Finnish act with his crazy bop 'Cha Cha Cha' is number 15. Coming runner up to Loreen much to the dismay of some fans of his it still pulled in an incredible 526 points and was certainly one of the most talked about songs and performances in all of 2023!
January 20, 20241 yr Author 14 GNcX0qqnE2Y?si=ZnI0MIvPSeyXy2fD Zara Larrson burst back into the charts this year with 'Can't Tame Her' which should've been her highest peaking not the naff Guetta track -_- such a huge bop anyhow!

Shame it couldn't quite crack the top 40 but I'll take any kind of hit status. Fabulous stuff so far, looking forward to seeing what else has made your top 20! Hey Jade! Ooh ok will give that a listen too. Yeah like I said a huge standout track it was! It did but I'm not THAT bothered by it really. Shame +++ didn't keep the Q Streak alive as it would normally have been the type to sail through I'd have thought but alas it's bittersweet in a way as I went out with a fab track <3 Ah I'll have to check that re Tove. Wouldn't surprise me and I'd be all for it as I prefer OIMM to 'Paris' from Kenya! ThxSoMuch was a great pick for the charts but yeah it was impressive for that kinda song to even get top 75 really! Thanks ^_^
January 20, 20241 yr Author Glad to see "Strangers" and "Red Flags" from your latest selection. Thanks again Serge ^_^
January 20, 20241 yr Author 13 __xnObYZodg?si=kw_zyglqWz8CvTCM Kathaldazia scored big in 2023 and my favourite of the bunch was this from Geo22 with 'Magic' which is in similar vein as southstar and similar other acts like that. It's a very short track but it makes the most of it and the animated video is fab too.
January 20, 20241 yr Author 12 p6Cnazi_Fi0?si=0iH3rGmH6O_NZR_y and so here's Kylie for the final time with 'Padam Padam' the song which gave Kylie her first top 10 hit in over 12 years back in May of 2023. It was a big hit with TikTok and everyone posting meme's to it. It doesn't quite make my top 10 and I'm sure if she saw she'd say Padam you? but it's an amazing moment in time for the fans of Kylie!
