It's Dua Lipa's third week overall after leading the pack on Christmas Week. Lizzo remains at #3 after a very successful re-release campaign for "Juice". It is her second Top 3 single in the country. In at #4, Becky Hill scores her third single as a lead artist to hit the Vülkyrian charts, her tenth if counting her collaborations with DJs Oliver Heldens, Watermät, MK, Jonas Blue, Weiss, Sigala and Meduza. She has two #1s under her name ("Overdrive" with Oliver Heldens, and "Wish U Well" with Sigala) but none as a lead artist. Previous single "Losing", reached the Top 15. From the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack, "Eyes Off You" by M-22, completes the Top 5 this week by dropping one position. Climbing into the Top 10 this week are two dance collaborations by Jax Jones & Tove Lo, and Franky Wah & Jessie Ware. “Jacques” is the lead single from the Snacks (Supersized) album – released in late November 2019 to coincide with the second single release from Tove Lo’s own album Sunshine Kitty. “Time After Time” is the second Franky Wah Top 40 hit, after Buzzjack Song Contest winner “Hide”, but his first Top 10 hit single. They both reach new peaks at #8 and #10, respectively. A new entry at #9, “24 Hours”, is Georgia’s second Top 10 single after #1 hit “Started Out”. Previous singles “About Work The Dancefloor” and “Never Let You Go” both reached the Top 20. There are three other New Entries further down the chart: Tom Ferry returns to the charts after his massive #1 single “Off My Mind” with Lisa Ajax represented the country in BJSC. “Own The Night” enters at #15. Unknown project CYNEMA have a hit with “Radio Love” entering at #24; and BBC Sound of 2020 winner Celeste enters at #35 with “Stop This Flame”. Official ●● Playlist

Correction, I did vote in the final. Two hours after the deadline but I did vote. Regardless, I'll be listening from the outside this month while planning my comeback in February. :cheer:

She takes over Dua Lipa once more, who slips to #2. The two tracks were head-to-head all week long but a few more copies meant a return to #1 for Eilish. After performing on VLK1's Toppen av Poppen: Nyårsdag Special, Eilish also experiences a surge of renewed interest in worldwide hit "bad guy". The track had originally peaked just outside the Top 40 but re-enters this week at a new peak of #31, no doubt aided by the slow New Year's sales and discounts available on popular download sites. Also taking advantage of a slow week was Lizzo. Her label Warner Music Vülkyria struck bronze by re-releasing the track onto the radio and having Lizzo promote it in the country during this first week of 2020. "Juice" thus enters straight at #3, when a year ago it didn't crack the Top 75 upon its original release. At #10 is "Like This". The multi-week #1 took Vülkyrian dancefloors by storm this past year and gave Sofi Tukker their second biggest hit in the country, only surpassed in sales by "Drinkee", their Buzzjack Song Contest debut. Our third and last New Entry this week is "God is a Dancer" by Tiësto and Mabel. Another dancefloor anthem that puts together one of the most respected DJs with the biggest seller of 2019. As radios begin to give the song more daytime plays, the sky is the limit for the duo. Official ●● Playlist

It's good to be back! Will put more effort into it now, hopefully it'll last longer than my previous two (three?) attempts! Have a look at that Coldplay remix, it's nothing groundbreaking but it spruces some more life into the song. I'm seemingly a sucker for these types of remixes, Hold My Girl and Someone You Loved also received similar treatment. And also Ven Pa Ca has been an absolute anthem these past few months. Even my boyfriend keeps singing it around the house so thanks for sharing that one! ;)

Dua Lipa sees the New Year in at Number 1 with "Don't Start Now", the first single of her soon-to-be-released sophomore album. It's her second week at the top after winning the race to become Vülkyria's Christmas Number 1 of 2019. Billie Eilish nabbed the top spot the following week and drops to #2 again with "everything i wanted", which has now become bigger in the country than worldwide smash "Bad Boy". "Sweat" rounds off this week's Top 3, SONIKKU and LIZ's Buzzjack Song Contest bid that took the Vülkyrian charts by storm. Belgian newcomer Angèle enters the Top 5 on only her second week, while former #1 "So Blue" by Sondr drops to #9, the dancefloor hit that shamelessly samples that Eiffel 65 hit from 1999. Jonas Brothers and Niall Horan both take advantage of the slower week of the year and enter the chart at numbers 12 and 13, respectively. Both songs are their only second hits in the Vülkyrian charts after "Sucker" and "Slow Hands" graced the lower ends in 2019 and 2017. Former Fifth Harmony band members Ally Brooke and Camilla Cabello follow at numbers 15 and 16, both rising slowly but surely. Albanian Eurovision hopeful Elvana Gjata debuts at #22 with ethnopop stomper "Me tana", which will sadly not grace the European stage in May. Swedish star Agnes follows her at #24 with her second solo entry in the chart, "I Trance", the double A-side which together with "Nothing Can Compare" - this week at #8 - serves as the second single of her latest EP. First single "Limelight" was one of the biggest tracks of 2019 in Vülkyria with a total of 390,000 sales. Another one of the biggest tracks of the past year slides out of the Top 30 to #33. "Gatekeeper Julie" failed to impress Buzzjack audiences and did not qualify to the Final of BJSC 120 but it was at the top spot here four consecutive weeks, amassing a total of 340,000 sales during the last year. Both these songs pale in comparison to Mabel's "Don't Call Me Up" which is undoubtedly the biggest track of 2019 with sales of 660,000. At #36 is our last new entry of the week. "Adore You" gives Harry Styles his first hit, he's only the second former One Direction band member to crack the Vülkyrian charts, after Niall Horan who already claimed two hits. Dropping off the chart and being left behind in 2019 were "Bad To You", the collaboration between Ariana Grande, Normani and Nicki Minaj for the Charlie's Angels movie soundtrack - this marks the first time the chart does not include any songs in which Grande is the leading artist since "No Tears Left To Cry"; unlikely hit "Break Up Bye Bye" by the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race UK; and "Every Day's Like Christmas" by Kylie Minogue which became a seasonal hit in Vülkyria after being used in a popular advert but lost the coveted Christmas Number 1 title to Dua Lipa settling for #4. Its total sales are now up to a festive 130,000.

Raphael Gualazzi left agog

Oopsie. Sent them anyway. Sorry everyone x

Sorry guys had a mental week at work so been a bit distracted. Sending the votes off now (a little over an hour late soz) but if they're not accepted I understand xx

Aww such a shame! "Gatekeeper Julie" is one of my favourite tracks at the moment. I thought I'd take a risk after such a good year and hoped it would be a great moment but turns out it was just too left-field for most people. Oh well! I can put my full weight supporting my favourite track in the final now. :cheer:

Vülkyria has voted! Some bangers in there this month! :cheer:

:cheer: Thanks! Just got myself one!

Woo! Great result for us! Hopefully we can end the year in the YTD Top 10. Cherry on top for our 50th! :wub:

Excuse me, Gina G!

Confirmed!

Thanks Bré!! X

I feel like it'll do them well to sit out for a while. Hoping they do a Bulgaria and comeback with QUALITY.

Hi Bré, could I have mine too? It's been a long while since I updated my OP 🤸‍♀️

5th in the SF AND the Final!! Couldn't ask for a better result for my 50th! Thanks guys! (Although we've yet missed again on that elusive 4th place - which along with 1st - is what I'm missing to complete my Top 10 collection!) Lovely winner, firmly on my playlists for regular rotation. Onwards to my 51st entry which will be a sort of further celebration of the previous 50 to end the year on a high (err hopefully lol)

Just delivered my votes. A strong collection and a few more tracks added onto my playlists! Hope everyone's enjoying my celebratory 50th entry! (Who would've known I'd still be here almost TEN YEARS after my debut entry by """Russian pop sensation""" Vlad Topalov went dead last in the final, ha!) As for my selection of RÜFÜS DU SOL for my anniversary entry, they're my favourite band of the 2010s. All three studio albums are stunning and I've been to 6 of their concerts in London (last week's was the first I missed as I was on holiday in Benidorm lol). It made a world of sense to pick them as they're also my favourite discovery EVER from BJSC. Ever since I've came across "Sundream" all the way back in BJSC 57 I haven't stopped following them. Even our flag is stolen straight from their promo material for the 'Bloom' album! Haha I planned a ranking event for my 50 entries but work got on the way and now I've been on holidays (on my way from Benidorm to the Alps now!) so I'll leave it for next month as I'll have plenty of time to focus on Buzzjack. Also my 51st will be a special celebratory track and I'll be giving thanks to BJSC with it. :funky:

Haha it's all good fun! Besides, I don't dislike the underdog tag, haha :cheer:

:nocheer: rich... "No Place" is actually my favourite RÜFÜS DU SOL track! :ph34r:

I feel cheated out of a Gemma "I DONT WANNA PLAY NO MORE GAMES" moment. Cmon Cheryl...

Voted!
