7 for the cover and overall album, both are very good.

 

This edition couldn't have got off to a better start with all of my top three singles of the year (Tattoo/Miracle/Padam Padam) within the first five tracks on the first disc. It was great to see all the other Eurovision hits on there (I voted for I Wrote A Song as my disc two favourite and Tattoo as disc one favourite).

 

The rest of the album featured a lot of strong pop and dance, and a healthy (for nowadays) brace of 14 top 10 hits (15 including Tina's old one). Four No.1s wasn't a bad tally either.

 

A handful of the missing big rap hits in place of some of the many non charters definitely would have made it an 8/10.

My top 5 are:

1. Joel Corry x Caity Baser – Dance Around It

2. Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam

3. David Guetta & Anne-Marie & Coi Leray – Baby Don't Hurt Me

4. Jonas Brothers - Waffle House

5. Sigala & Mae Muller & Caity Baser feat. Stefflon Don – Feels This Good
