#120 The Yagas - I Am 13-13-18-47-67-85-x-57-60-90-x [9 weeks] This year's breakout band who'll have a few entries very high up - this was the debut album impact song. #119 Moliy and Silent Addy - Shake It To The Max (Fly) (feat. Skillibeng and Sheseea) 76-53-49-50-60-43-59-60-64-51-74-92-x [12 weeks] Now this is just bopalicious. #118 Lady Gaga - How Bad Do U Want Me 23-20-20-34-47-64-51-34-35-32-68-x [11 weeks] One of a handful of standout Gaga album tracks, this had big pop hit written all over it but her team are infamously bad at doing post-album singles so... #117 LSR/City [Gareth Emery and Annabel] - Come Home 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-3-... [9+ weeks] A beautiful bit of vocal progressive trance here and a big highlight of Gareth Emery and vocalist Annabel's recent LSR/City project. Alas released too late in the year to quite make it up the high end of this countdown but they'll make an appearance there anyway. #116 Rose Gray - April 20-11-8-8-9-11-19-21-24-39-60-84-... [12 weeks] A highlight for her recent material, she has proved herself one of the more interesting dance-pop singers of the moment this year and here's hoping she can get a proper mainstream breakthrough in 2026.

#125 Armin van Buuren - Viva l'Opera (feat. Natalie Gioia) {58-98-x-67}-90-90-40-43-34-41-59-x-18-22-34-62-x [11 weeks {14 total}] Trance meets opera! Always great to have Armin doing proper trance every once in a while. #124 Doechii - Denial Is A River 82-31-32-39-32-39-47-60-72-98-x [10 weeks] A great storytelling rap hit which we don't get very often, shame it quickly got overshadowed by the not-so-good 'Anxiety'. #123 Nora En Pure - Space 16-7-8-13-20-22-31-47-67-x-98-x [10 weeks] Another vocal-led effort from Nora En Pure, lush as ever. #122 John O'Callaghan and Hailey J. - Lost In Sound 85-69-36-23-25-26-25-29-36-61-73-x [11 weeks] Lovely vocal trance effort from someone who's been around for many years but hadn't made a whole lot of impact for me until recently. #121 Arkai - The Sound of Silence 22-9-4-6-10-10-11-25-32-36-41-66-x [12 weeks] Beautiful string interpretation of the Simon & Garfunkel classic which introduced me to Arkai.

Any big songs being used in the latest 3 episodes you think could get a chart impact?

#130 Chrystal - The Days (Notion Remix) {99-x}-26-27-14-17-22-39-60-54-x [8 weeks {9 total}] One of the big dance hits of the year and whilst there were about 100 dance songs I preferred in the year this wasn't a bad choice at all for the UK to really get behind being quite high energy. #129 John Summit - Tears (feat. Paige Cavell) [EOY #22, 2024] {30-27-7-7-6-5-5-6-8-10-12-20-25-34-36-42-54-62-86-67-94-87}-91-91-43-49-38-44-48-72-100-82-x [10 weeks {32 total}] Perhaps my favourite John Summit effort yet, and this would surely have done better in BJSC than the two songs of his that did get sent but oh well, I didn't have enough room to enter it myself. #128 Arkai - Sun Drifter 31-38-37-46-16-17-19-29-49-73-100-x [11 weeks] A violinist duo here with an strong instrumental tune. #127 Michael Cassette - Knight Rider 28-7-13-15-18-29-33-48-67-96-x [10 weeks] Yes this is a house remake of that 80s theme tune. #126 Metteson - Waves {23-6}-23-23-14-14-20-26-29-44-63-76-x [10 weeks {12 total}] A late 2024 BJSC find being a great dramatic dancepop track.

#135 Talla 2XLC and Fragma - Look At You Now 63-22-13-16-17-23-30-36-81-100-x [10 weeks] Who knew Fragma was still going? Good uplifting trance here anyhow. #134 DJ Heartstring - Back To My Love 15-11-11-14-31-60-70-84-93-x-94-100-x [11 weeks] Another high tempo dance bop from DJ Heartstring! #133 Schrotthagen - Schattenkinder 51-55-44-44-43-46-50-50-65-85-98-100-88-30-52-79-x [16 weeks] Another rare vocal-led effort from the German techno duo. #132 Addison Rae - Fame Is a Gun 56-70-82-x-50-48-44-36-39-39-46-58-56-79-87-87-x [15+ weeks] A surprise pop bop here as I hadn't particularly enjoyed any her material beforehand. #131 Trovaire - To Leave the Sea 55-16-15-13-25-24-24-46-74-76-x [10 weeks] A nice chill indie-dance piece with French lyrics.

Jordan had been on my radar for a while but this is quite easily their most dancefloor ready effort and so biggest hit with me. #136 Craig Connelly - The Great Hall 33-33-27-30-26-17-21-26-28-44-51-77-94-x [13 weeks] His vocal collabs tend to be better however here we do have a strong trance instrumental hit

#145 Phantogram - Attaway {63-24-10-4}-5-5-3-3-9-18-23-41-69-99-x [10 weeks {14 total}] Not a general follower of this band but this was rockier than I've heard from them before so a good surprise find #144 Sub Focus and Bbyclose - On & On 14-18-33-36-45-48-48-58-73-97-x [10 weeks] Fun DnB track here, even the overly processed vocal works for it #143 Avicii - Let's Ride Away [feat. Kacey Musgraves or Elle King] {2-11-29-35-46-67-x}-3-5-15-19-30-75-x [6 weeks {12 weeks total}] Another Avicii track released from the vault this year, though likewise didn't make a huge impression here. I do wish they could've kept the better Kacey Musgreaves vocal for the official release... #142 Lay of the Autumn - Lost In Your Eyes 7-3-7-7-7-16-14-16-20-25-29-... [11+ weeks] Well it's established now that I enjoy a symphonic metal epic and this was another lucky Spotify find. #141 Ghost Cop - Problems 35-12-13-20-18-25-29-36-35-55-71-... [11+ weeks] Great bit of synthwave which impacted following the discovery of another song of theirs to appear higher up.

This is the official streaming services thread, the go-to topic for the discussion of playlists and charts from services such as Spotify, Apple & Amazon! This week's new releases courtesy of ManicKangaroo N/A FAQs What is streaming? 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?

needless to say that would NOT have been my choice of winner but can't say it is undeserved even with recency bias. anyhoo that concludes the year's proceedings and just before Christmas too, yay! I will say now though as a final note that hosting this all myself has been a lot and I do not intend to re-run this in the same way next year. I was happy enough to take the task on this once to keep it going as my former co-host ElectroBoy had dropped out soon before it was due to start, but next year I would much appreciate one or two volunteers to assist else the whole thing may have to take a rest period. thank you all for contributing and keeping ROTD the grand Buzzjack tradition alive <3 #1-100 RECAP 1 ** 691 Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso 2 2 618 Ariana Grande - No Tears Left To Cry 3 1 603 Dua Lipa - Physical 4 20 563 Rita Ora - Anywhere 5 ** 541 JADE - Angel Of My Dreams 6 ** 526 Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! 7 6 517 Ariana Grande - Into You 8 98 506 Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club 9 7 503 Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky 10 4 479 Weeknd - Blinding Lights 11 30 476 Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam 12 10 470 RAYE (feat. 070 Shake) - Escapism. 13 8 461 Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me 14 14 454 Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha 15 12 427 Dua Lipa - Levitating (Original / DaBaby Remix) 16 33 422 Harry Styles - As It Was 17 23 421 Loreen - Tattoo 18 59 420 Justin Bieber - Sorry 19 29 417 Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding - Miracle 20 50 412 Christine And The Queens - Tilted / Christine 21 ** 411 Rosé & Bruno Mars - APT. 22 15 410 Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande - Rain On Me 23 103 410 Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under 24 26 410 David Guetta & Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue) 25 47 406 Clean Bandit (feat.

Spending a second year in at 2nd place is 'No tears left to cry'. It is the fifth year Ariana has placed in the runner-up position, across three different songs, without ever having won. The song remains a highlight of Ari's output, and had won the yearly round of 2018 very convincingly with a 100+ point lead. Credit should also be given to super producer Max Martin who was behind four of Ariana's five top entries in the rundown. It also remains one of her most commercially successful songs as well as critically successful, surpassing 1.5bn Spotistreams making it her 10th-biggest on the platform. That means we have a brand new winner. It is congratulations to the undisputed breakout star of 2024, Sabrina Carpenter. Having already had some success in the ten years she'd already been actively releasing music (whilst also being an actress), it was this winning song 'Espresso' that made her one of the main pop girls of the day leading her 'Short n Sweet' album that across its three singles gave her 21 weeks at UK #1 in the year (a record for a female artist). Whilst none of her other singles impacted the top 100 here, 'Espresso' wins with considerable ease with a margin of 73 points, and with the most supporters behind it (thirty). The song also now sits on 2.7bn Spotistreams placing it in the all-time top 100. So Buzzjack, enjoy your shot of espresso as your Record of the Decade! 02 02 618 Ariana Grande - No Tears Left To Cry 03-04-16-09-10-02-02- // 1st, 2018 01 ** 691 Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso 01- // 1st, 2024

a great week for British rap with 21 Savage and EsDeeKid getting entries! (but seriously yay for 4 Raws, plus Chanel and Turn the Lights Off)

wouldn't quite say that myself but I did find it quite odd that it (and Nice To Each Other) were deemed offensive enough for the hatechart I suppose it has had a lengthy chart run which never helps but it's not a bad song whatsoever compared to much of this list

Cool to eventually get 1991 filled in. Now all we need is proof that the 1993 entry hasn't been completely lost to time!!

2025: Alex Warren - Eternity Peak position: #03 Weeks in chart: 21 Christmas Number One: Kylie Minogue (& Alexa) - XMAS Down at the arse end of the festive chart this year we have the year's big breakout star Alex Warren. His song 'Ordinary', despite not being very critically well received, was a gigantic commercial smash spending 13 weeks officially at #1, and 20 weeks atop the official streaming chart where ACR does not exist. It was followed up by the similarly drab 'Eternity' which entered at #3 assisted by the album being released at the same time, but only spent one week in the top 10. A remix of the song with Gigi Perez assisted its return to the top 100 in the previous week at #90, before dropping ten places to get this year's coveted Christmas Number One... Hundred. Another W for the Warrenverse...

The breakout solo star of Little Mix has been Jade Thirlwall whose album this year has been very well-received by pop fans. It was preceded in 2024 with 'Angel Of My Dreams' which now becomes the second-highest entry here in at fifth place. Whilst not a big fave of mine it was a bold choice for debut single with its tempo changes and lyrics addressing her relationship with the music industry. With 'Lonely Together' having received a new peak this year, it is perhaps not surprising that the surge of Rita Ora support also extends to her other release of 2017 'Anywhere'. Having spent two years in the top five previously, it now re-peaks making its way into 4th. It is the highest song here with EDM involvement with Alesso listed as one of its producers, and is my personal favourite of the top five. Meanwhile, we are guaranteed a new winner here as Dua Lipa slips back into 3rd place with 'Physical', impressively now completing the first half of its decade within the top three. Passing the 600 point mark however means she's actually scored more points this year so just shows how strong the competition is this time around. Ariana Grande or Sabrina Carpenter will be revealed tonight as your Record of the Decade. 05 ** 541 JADE - Angel Of My Dreams 05- // 3rd, 2024 04 20 563 Rita Ora - Anywhere 13-05-05-18-20-29-20-04- // 1st, 2017 03 01 603 Dua Lipa - Physical 02-02-03-01-03- // 1st, 2020

you had a perfect top 10 run in both 2019 and 2024 so just a case of consistency is king (of clubs) as a side note if we included the very first contest we did have in 2017 then Dobbo would be 2017's king of clubs as well as 2021's (hardly fair to base a year-end chart on one contest though)

The Pogues never got reset when Shane passed away so I'd say it's been established what the rules are here Chris' non-Xmas songs won't be anywhere near the chart regardless

Top 10 time! Once again the sole male performer here is The Weeknd, whose former winning song 'Blinding Lights' completes the first half of its decade all inside the first ten positions... just about as it sinks to 10th. The song remains to this day the most streamed song ever having passed the 5bn mark on Spotify and continues to somewhat overshadow more recent material of his with the forum. One of its old rivals in 'Midnight Sky' sits besides it in 9th, also remaining a perfect top 10 run so far for Miley Cyrus. Likewise her more recent material hasn't performed quite so well commercially so this is likely to remain her critical peak for the time being. But what's that... Another song from coming to disrupt the pecking order of the peak Covid year? Well yes we have a huge 90 place boost for Chappell Roan. 'Pink Pony Club' had already been a hit last year which saw it scrape at the bottom end of the final however a renewed chart run and prolonged exposure in 2024 saw it gain a fair amount of supporters. It'll only have five years left to further prove itself here now but such are the rules of this contest. It's been an excellent year for her with not only that but her breakthrough hit 'Good Luck, Babe!' enters in at 6th, being the third-highest new entry. While being the more recent release it was what really kicked off her commercial success and remains her best to date - an excellent piece of pop music which I much prefer to the new entries in the top five but hey ho. Sandwiched between we have Ariana Grande, who likewise has two songs in the top 10. 'Into You' is the first of these which continues a stellar run in the contest with one more year left to contend. 10 04 479 Weeknd - Blinding Lights 01-01-07-04-10- // 2nd, 2020 09 07 503 Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky 04-03-01-07-09- // 3rd, 2020 08 98 506 Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club xx-xx-xx-98-08- // 5th, 2020 07 06 517 Ariana Grande - Into You 03-03-02-02-22-13-18-06-07- // 1st, 2016 06 ** 526 Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! 06- // 2nd, 2024 YOUR TOP FIVE ARE: Ariana Grande - No Tears Left To Cry Dua Lipa - Physical JADE - Angel Of My Dreams Rita Ora - Anywhere Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso PREDICT PREDICT PREDICT!
