Here is my top 10: 1= Get Lucky - Daft Punk ft Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers 1= La La La - Naughty Boy ft Sam Smith 3 Need U (100%) - Duke Dumont ft A*M*E 4 Waiting All Night - Rudimental ft Ella Eyre 5 Wake Me Up - Avicii 6 I Love It - Icona Pop ft Charli XCX 7 Love Me Again - John Newman 8 I Could Be The One - Avicii & Nicky Romero 9 Look Right Through - Storm Queen 10 Roar - Katy Perry A great year for number 1s!

The top 2 aren’t my thing but they are decent songs. I think my top 5 would be: KLF - 3AM Eternal Enigma - Sadeness (Part 1) Queen - innuendo Jason Donovan - Any Dream Will Do Michael Jackson - Black or White Thanks for a great countdown Jim

Starting tomorrow….. Jester ranks the Number 1s of 2014

My pick for number 1 as well so great choice! Fab countdown, thanks Jaz.

This would be top 2 for me, shame it’s not your winner. I love the KLF, they were so fresh at the time.

Bastille and Chris Malinchak would be my top 2 of those. I’m going to listen to the latter now….

Not a fan of Mirrors at all. I am JT ambivalent at best tbh.

Listened to it again this morning due to this thread. The bridge of the Spanish guitar through to the oooh oooh part (badly described) is superb.

Innuendo is immense and I’ve always loved it. Criminally overlooked I agree.

I used to wrote up the top 10 in a notebook while listening to the charts around 1988. I then went off the charts properly until around 1994 then have been interested ever since. Around 1996, I started to write down the number 1 albums and singles again. I love lists.

I did wonder, but thought you might had said and I missed it!

That is a well named song as indeed I do!

What a song! Would be my contender for the top I think.

Thrift Shop isn’t my sort of thing, but can’t help liking it!

Eurgh, I despise Sailing. I love a bit of Bright Eyes though, even if the film is terrifying.

Everything I Do is a classic and I’m very fond of it. It’s not fantastic by any means but it’s infamous and iconic.

Never a fan of Wrecking Ball. I just don’t get the appeal 🤷‍♂️ Better than her other one however.

Some real goodies both in and outside these top 10s Deeper Shade of Blue is a fab Steps song - a much more mature sound Flowers is a garage classic - a shame Craig David beat them to number 1 but there never was going to be another result that week. The Bad Touch remains hilarious, the BBC censoring nuts is 🤣 Black Box Recorder’s The Facts of Life unlocked a great forgotten song - I’ll add that to my Spotify playlist now! Of course the main highlight is Tocas Miracle which is rightly a dance classic Airwave is also fab. Two great episodes showing the variety of the charts back then.

I don’t mind it. Shame Bastille couldn’t get to number though.

Also wow at how big My Sweet Lord was at the time 😮 He was the Beatle that was a bit overlooked imo, but he was a great songwriter and singer.

And for mine!

Roar is fab! Her last great record imo.

Love magnetic and have preordered the popcorn splatter vinyl.

My joint favourite number 1 of the year and would be in my top 5 for the decade. Love love love it!
