More Dua Lipa is ordered this time alongside Calvin Harris with their summer smash 'One Kiss', the song yet to ever make it to the top half of the final but has always comfortably qualified in. Sir Calvin will be making another appearance later on. Another summer dance anthem is next from Peggy Gou who unfortunately has quite the tumble from last year's top 40. To perhaps no-ones surprise this remains her only chart hit but what a song it is to be that. With only one year left before Daft Punk are gone for good both their Weeknd collab hits climb this year, firstly the discoesque 'I Feel It Coming' which comes close to re-peaking. New in at the kids favourite number 67 we have another future classic Gaga ballad duet, 'Die With a Smile' which led the campaign for 2025's 'Mayhem' album, which did the unthinkable and outdo 'Shallow' to be her biggest hit of the streaming era a good 15 years on from her debut. She has one entry left whilst Bruno Mars has two, all collaborations. In a year where indie favourites have suffered to buck the trend we have Fat Dog's debut release climb into the top 100 in its second year. 'King of the Slugs' like with 'Doomscroller' is another long indie epic which had a lot of word-of-mouth Buzzjack hype despite making no chart impact. For perhaps the first time in ROTD we also get a country duet ballad cracking the top 100, in its second year coming from Zach Bryan & Kacey Musgraves whose song was an instant US #1 but more of a sleeper hit in the UK eventually cracking the top 20 in 2024. Soon-to-be her biggest ever streaming hit, 'Birds of a Feather' was quickly taken as the fan fave from the new Billie Eilish album even with her pushing a different song as the single at first. It now enters here as Buzzjack's second-favourite of hers. We say "hello" to Adele twice as two of her ballads from '25' both register large climbs to re-peak and end up next to each other, the album's lead a single point ahead. The Carly Rae fandom remains here too with 'Cut To The Feeling' stabilising after reaching a new peak last year. 70 90 279 Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa - One Kiss 64-54-73-92-95-90-70- // 3rd, 2018 69 28 280 Peggy Gou - (It Goes Like) Nanana 28-69- // 13th, 2023 68 87 290 Weeknd (feat.

DanBet predicts Cor Lupus to win too and optimistically a top 5 for ourselves

#234 Tame Impala - Dracula Tame Impala actually getting a mainstream hit finally (although TLIKTB was a bigger hit in reality if not the charts) was impressive to see and with one of his catchier songs yay #226 Raye - Where Is My Husband! someone find her a shiny diamond ring! (and some more streaming payola in January so we don't just have more weeks of Taylor at #1) #218 Olivia Dean - Man I Need no complaints with this being a huge hit, her other stuff's not so much for me but can't fault this #210 Sub Focus and Katy B - Push the Tempo how I wish this actually could've broke the top 40 to give Katy B a belated late career hit but we'll allow top 75s here to make up the numbers #205 Kaj - Bara Bada Bastu SAUNA!(I'm not too fond of actual saunas but the song's fun x) and that concludes Mainstream Splashes. but of course a few more will appear in the main countdown...

💦 Mainstream Splashes 💦 #271 - Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club good sang but will probably need a long while before I can actually listen to it and it sounds fresh again #270 - Abor & Tynna - Baller Eurovision... yay? let's ignore how much of a shitshow 2026 is going to be and appreciate this bop managing to be one of the UK faves of the night (shoutout to Zjerm and Ich Komme too which would be here if they were UK hits) #253 - Sia - Snowman yeah I'm late to this song, whatever. it's a lovely festive addition. #250 - Levi Heron - The Glen wonderfully random to get something so Scottish sounding be a hit albeit with added EDM thump #240 sombr - Undressed well written pop charting, well sometimes it happens. and we may see him again...

🔥 Thermo's hot hits | EOY 2025 🔥 it's a merry Listmas y'all throughout the month of Dancember I will be counting down the top songs of the past 12 months as based on my point system. prior to the top 200 countdown we will also take a look at the Album of the Year and a handful of (songs you've actually heard of) mainstream splashes that didn't quite make the list. before anything though, let's take a look at last year's top ten singles. 01 Ben Hemsley ~ Closer (feat. Chenai) 02 Maribou State ~ Blackoak 03 Worakls ~ Furia Electronica 04 Tinlicker ~ Nowhere To Go (feat. Brian Molko) 05 Hel:sløwed ~ If You Only Knew [feat. Amber Revival] 06 Nightwish ~ Perfume of the Timeless 07 Peggy Gou ~ 1+1=11 08 Fat Dog ~ Running 09 Kalandra ~ Bardaginn 10 NTO and Vitalic ~ Cœur Noir it was the year of Ben Hemsley whose 'Closer' held the #1 spot for 12 weeks in the spring and quite convincingly topped the year-end chart with chart points of over 1.5 million. Maribou State had one of the all-time big sleeper hits in 'Blackoak' which peaked at #6 in 2023 and didn't spend a single week top 10 in 2024 however the longevity factor took it to the #2 spot. Worakls got his biggest hit yet taking #3 with what was eventually revealed as the lead single to this year's album release.

Fallen Cloud bubbling under The Crying Room very belatedly charting!! (any particular reason it's here now?)

The two Olivia songs fall not far from each other then, with 'Vampire' just ahead as it takes less of a hit down to 80th. The number of Eurovision songs in the final increased by one with Måneskin's winning entry now breaking in at 76th, proving itself now more popular here than their English language hits. It became the first Italian language song to hit the UK chart within the 21st century following its contest victory. They are joined by another foreign language Eurovision hit from Go_A who stabilise at 79th having cracked the top 20 two years back. Last year was uniquely big for indie in this competition however there has been a noticeable shift back towards the pop this time which is emphasised by three dips from last year's top 20 appearing here. Taylor Swift's collab with Bon Iver was formerly her top-rated entry but she is now exiled from the top half and has four songs placing higher. Billie Eilish is no longer "happier than ever" after having spent three years in the top fifth of the countdown. Metric's top 20 placing proves to be quite the impressive fluke as they now sink to a still respectable (for a non-hit) 73rd with the epic 'Doomscroller'. Dua Lipa songs keep dropping like flies with 'New Rules' and 'Be The One' from her debut both departing the top half of the countdown. Not to worry as she still has 4 songs left to appear (and perhaps her having so many songs in this time has been a detriment to some of their positions). Meanwhile the excellent dance hit of 2016 'This Girl' is here for another year, it still has one last chance to return to the top 40 but for now it's still bubbling around this area of the chart. 80 70 266 Olivia Rodrigo - Vampire 70-80- // 5th, 2023 79 80 267 Go_A - Shum 67-19-80-79- // 13th, 2021 78 51 267 Post Malone - Circles 500-181-131-209-51-78- // 4th, 2019 77 45 268 Dua Lipa - New Rules 10-20-29-98-40-45-45-77- // 5th, 2017 76 246 274 Måneskin - Zitti E Buoni 122-126-246-76- // 8th, 2021 75 17 274 Taylor Swift & Bon Iver – Exile 65-33-12-17-75- // 7th, 2020 74 66 274 Kungs vs. Cookin On 3 Burners – This Girl 96-87-78-124-48-63-30-66-74- // 3rd, 2016 73 18 275 Metric - Doomscroller 51-18-73- // 19th, 2022 72 24 275 Dua Lipa - Be The One 48-52-33-30-48-53-24-72- // 2nd, 2017 71 16 279 Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever 18-14-16-71- // 4th, 2021

good to see Ocean sneaking in, although it quickly dropped for me so not sure it'll even make my top 100. Blessings I hope appears much later on. Messy was another fave of this year's big UK hits

What are the chart rules regarding streaming? For streaming and chart rules related FAQs read the pinned thread regarding this. How many streams equals one download sale? 100 plays if you are on Spotify Premium, or 600 if you are using the ad-supported free tier. However you cannot simply play a song that many times in one day to give it one sale, you are limited to 10 plays per day in terms of what counts to the chart. The number changes to 200 or 1200 plays when a song moves to ACR. For more information on the rules of ACR see this thread. How much does streaming contribute to the chart? Streaming contributes over 90% to the singles chart as a whole. Spotify counts for at least half of this, with Apple Music and Amazon also big contributors. YouTube is also big however most of YouTube's streams are at the free tier so won't count for as much. Why is my fave not doing well? Is it being promoted on a major curated playlist, and/or going viral on TikTok? If it isn't, it's unlikely to really take off! Hot Hits UK is the biggest of these playlists on Spotify from a UK standpoint. The playlist usually updates itself to include breaking hits once or twice a week, though there is no guarantee that your fave will get a place on the playlist. Also, the UK Top 50 is a largely followed playlist and that songs often experience a 'top 50 effect', when they enter the top 50 and get the additional exposure of being on the playlist. Often sales hits don't cross over to being streaming hits, this is usually the case for songs with an older target audience, reality or campaign songs. Also keep in mind that it often takes longer for a song to take off on Spotify than it would on iTunes. My fave didn't debut high and is falling already, does this mean they're flopping? Not necessarily. Most songs debut relatively low as they aren't instantly well-known, and experience a sharp decline on Day 2 as they no longer have the promoted 'New Music Friday' effect. A lot of songs manage to recover through gaining popularity and additions to playlists. Exceptions to the rule of course come from massively hyped releases, such as the recent album impacts from Drake and Taylor Swift. Spotify How do I see today's Spotify chart?

Some more Charli xcx is ordered, with the album opener '360' placing here alongside its biggest hit taken from the remixed version - 'Guess' which was much-assisted by Billie Eilish who'd also had a big 2024 in her own right. Another Charli remix is yet to appear as her top performing song. As the first of 7 appearances for Ariana Grande, 'God Is A Woman' remains stable in the lower section of the countdown at 90th. Lil Nas X returns after a year off with self-titled hit 'Montero', not quite his biggest hit but his highest regarded here. All three Lady Gaga appearances here are collaborations, which may change next year with 'Abracadabra's eligibility. Until then, to start off she is back in the list with soundtrack hit 'Shallow'. Zara Larsson sees a revival for 'Lush Life' assisted by its recent virality boost - it is now her third year in the top 100 after a six year break and will have one more chance to best its 70th peak. Beyonce's soul remains unbroken as her dance hit rises in the countdown to 85th - it is her sole appearance here as Buzzjack didn't quite take to the more recent country album. A few songs have taken tumbles this year and in this section we have one from Olivia Rodrigo, out from last year's top 40 with her biggest hit 'Good 4 U' which means a different song of hers is now the forum fave. Calvin Harris has a respectable final finish to round out the decade for HAIM collab 'Pray To God', that made the final round in six years. We're also due our dose of Lipa here with 'Houdini' rising a little from last year's debut which is good to see. 90 85 237 Ariana Grande - God Is A Woman 73-49-103-88-80-85-90 // 7th, 2018 89 139 239 Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name) 78-75-139-89- // 5th, 2021 88 ** 241 Charli xcx - 360 88- // 9th, 2024 87 126 244 Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper – Shallow 34-23-85-74-85-126-87- // 5th, 2018 86 228 246 Zara Larsson - Lush Life 85-70-177-190-220-182-189-228-86-// 12th, 2016 85 141 248 Beyoncé - Break My Soul 150-141-85- // 5th, 2023 84 31 249 Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U 35-42-31-84- // 7th, 2021 83 ** 249 Charli xcx (feat.

I too wonder if there’s going to be a load of think pieces about Wham being Cmas number one a third time running which will push the OCC into doing something similar to what Australia have going on. there’s already been one BBC article moaning about how Wham seemingly have it every year now.

Without any further ado let's get on with the results... Amazingly one in ten of this whole rundown is taken up by one woman - Dua Lipa. I don't think we've seen such domination before. Alas, three of her titles are knocked out in the bottom ten. Her newest entry, 'Training Season' which followed-up 'Houdini' is at the very end of the list, whilst 'Break My Heart' cracks the ranking for the first time in its five-year history and 'Hallucinate' re-appears for a third time. Charli xcx had a very impressive 2024 with four of her brattiest songs making it to the final ranking. Bottom of the bunch was the song that led it all in 'Von dutch' which was also voted Buzzjack's favourite dance hit of the year. Between them, Billie Eilish once again has her best song of the ranking finish the lowest amongst them - 'When the Party's Over' now down to second-from-last. Her Barbie soundtrack hit takes a dip to also place in the bottom 10 leaving four more titles from her to go. Grimes is still here too however her stock has fallen massively with a 50+ place drop for 'Kill V Maim' with her other semi-regular having not made the semi-finals - it's now the last year for both. Lana Del Rey has a new forum favourite (of the last ten years at least) as the lengthy A&W climbs into the region in its second year. We always like to see a song eventually breaking through after bubbling under for years though and that's what we get with Blossoms who finally crack it with only one year to go before exiled to the old music pile with their biggest seller 'Charlemagne'. Ava Max also returns to the region with 'My Head & My Heart' not quite managing to scale the height of 86th where it debuted. 100 ** 176 Dua Lipa - Training Season 100- // 10th, 2024 99 97 200 Billie Eilish - When the Party's Over 388-510-155-124-82-97-99- // 4th, 2018 98 ** 222 Charli xcx - Von dutch 98- // 15th, 2024 97 114 225 Dua Lipa - Break My Heart 180-145-115-114-97- // 14th, 2020 96 217 226 Lana Del Rey - A&W 217-96- // 15th, 2023 95 149 227 Blossoms - Charlemagne xx-412-416-174-198-168-151-149-95- // 7th, 2016 94 260 230 Dua Lipa - Hallucinate 130-66-97-260-94- // 12th, 2020 93 73 230 Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For? 73-93- // 12th, 2023 92 41 232 Grimes - Kill V.
