*NSYNC- BYE BYE BYE

 

276PTS

 

 

*NSYNC

 

06 2024- Bye Bye Bye

 

At #6, thanks to this appearing in the film Deadpool and Wolverine it is *NSYNC with their 2000 single 'Bye Bye Bye'. Thanks to the film this revived my liking for this song. This is the best song that *NSYNC did. As for an band member Justin Timberlake his solo singles don't appear anywhere in the countdown.

Into the Top 5 that we have this heavyweight collaboration between Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. With Lady Gaga making her first apearance in my EOY chart for the first time since 2013 and Bruno Mars making his second appearance in this countdown. This collaboration just worked very well, it is an fantastic song from the both of them, one that I couldn't tire of.

06 2020- Godzilla ft Juice WRLD

18 2022- Mockingbird

03 2024- Houdini

27 2024- Without Me

 

 

Into the Top 3 now, it is Eminem with 'Houdini'. I know this probably wouldn't be the most popular choice in an End of Year Top 3 but I quite liked this from Eminem. Hence this bringing the revival for 'Without Me' and 'Abracadabra' which you saw earlier on my countdown. This song broke the unique record Eminem for all his UK #1s until this with all of them spending just one week at #1, until 'Houdini' broke that trend.

2ND:

 

J-KWON- TIPSY

 

488PTS

 

 

J-Kwon

 

02 2024- Tipsy

 

At #2, it is J-Kwon's 2004 hit 'Tipsy', the reason for this being in the countdown is for what Shaboozey did to this one-hit hip-hop wonder, it was awful what Shaboozey did to this song. The original from J-Kwon is far better than 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)'. 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' somehow becoming the longest-running #1 in the US tied with the classic that is 'Old Town Road'. 'Tipsy' by J-Kwon is far better all right??

03 2023- Cruel Summer

04 2024- Fortnight ft Post Malone

01 2024- Cruel Summer

07 2024- I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

 

At #1, for the second year in a row it is an Taylor Swift song this time with 'Cruel Summer'. This is an bonafide classic from Taylor one that I definitely wouldn't tire of. This has broken an record in an End of Year chart for the most points ever for a song breaking Chris Brown's 2022 record of 560pts with 'Under The Influence'. This is also the first time that an artist has got an EOY #1 two years in a row for Taylor Swift.

Just to say many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this countdown, it is very much appreciated, :). We'll back in January 2026 for the 2025 End of Year Chart in 'Mack's Top 40'.

Great to see 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)', 'APT.' and 'Die With A Smile' towards the top of your list. I can't think about January 2026 and it being nearly that late in the decade already though!

Nice to see "Cruel Summer" as your song of 2024, I really like many songs from your list.

 

Really like seeing your list!

Hope to finish my Year-End list soon enough, whenever I have time!

Many thanks for commenting both, much appreciated, :)
