Jade

I'll endeavour to put together an all-encompassing collection soon, but today I was in the mood to curate a couple of themed compilations, so without further ado... Club Jadakissnia Houses 25 of my electronic entries across main contests and spin-offs, from feel-good eurodance to pounding techno. A mix of big hits and personal favourites. I wasn't originally planning to open with FM-84 but it was such a joyful start to proceedings that it stuck.

(23) SO many retro artist this month from where I was putting together my all-time favourite songs countdown! I can't remember the last time I listened to so many albums in one month.

'Tongue' by Fontaines D.C. debuts at #130 on Spotify today, was only released at 5pm here

September '26

Round 1: 33 (didn't get: Latin Quarter) Round 2: 33 (didn't get: Fox) 3-in-10: 3 (Easy, Still, Nightshift)

Favourite: the stunning 'willow' Least favourite: the grating 'I Forgot That You Existed', my least favourite on Lover

This year's performers are: Dove Ellis Florence and the Machine JADE Knats Kojey Radical Nia Archives Olivia Dean Pulp on behalf of HELP(2) RAYE Suede so pretty much everyone except Dave and Paul McCartney. my dreams of a 'The Boy Who Played the Harp' performance at an awards show dashed!

Yeah blue is a surprise but a lovely nod to Sarah on the album cover!

Out of Control reissue is now live on their store! I'm going to order the blue vinyl + stickers 💙

I was a fan of froghurt shop chanteuse Esmée at the time but SecondCity has aged better long term for me, went for that!

Oh I forgot that 'Wake Me Up' cover was coming this year! I agree with others that it's a rock bottom contender, a poor interpretation with terrible vocals. I vividly remember the release of that Band Aid 30 cover. HMV didn't stock many CD singles by this point in 2014 but this one was an exception, we had lots of copies on display. I remember the music video getting its premiere on the X Factor and the impact of that promo was huge, the forum was shocked by just quite how much it was crushing the competition on iTunes, back when LivePopBars was a reliable resource. But it was pretty frontloaded and didn't leave much of a cultural imprint like the first iteration. I don't dislike it as much as others (the second one is least appealing to me sorry :x) but a fair placing. YouTubers Zoella, Joe Sugg and Alfie Deyes being shoehorned into the line-up is such a 2014 time capsule 'Real Love' was no 'Rather Be' but I did quite like it at the time. Funny that we had two 'Real Love' hits around that time with Tom Odell as well.

Yes love how versatile Damon is! I grew up in an Oasis household but could still appreciate their chart rivals too I unsurprisingly agree with you that Demon Days is the best Gorillaz project and 'DARE' is also a great pick! The Mountain is a triumph and certainly one of my favourite albums of 2026 so far. Glad you enjoyed the commentary <3 felt a bit vulnerable writing that but it helps to explain why I feel so attached to it. A mighty fine dance record indeed! Fabulous list once again with quite a few I had as honourable mentions like: 'Stan', 'Digital Love', 'Take Me Out', 'Crazy', 'Hey Ya!' etc. as well as the snap MCR love 🖤 'Stan' and 'Lose Yourself' are my favourites from Eminem so the public had good taste getting them both to #1. The storytelling, sample and production on the former are all hauntingly great. Thank you for commenting <3

'Melatonin' has finally clicked with me in the context of the album yessss 🤩 v 2000 and late on that one I know. The quick-fire verse is so addictive. It was actually hearing 'Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore' on NMF that convinced me to check out the album, what a full fat metallic banger. Obsessed with the 'Chillin' interpolation and how people have seamlessly mashed up the song with Britney's 'Showdown', as some of you already posted. The opener 'Sunglasses' really took me aback! So here for that left-field production from Arca and Machinedrum 'Brainrot' (what an earworm), 'Cloud 9' and 'Empty Stadium' are my other biggest early faves! Really impressed with this project. I was a huge fan of Aquarius back in the day but kinda drifted away after that (minus the odd song that happened to be on my radar like 'Stormy Weather' and 'Gravity') but this has properly pulled me back. Good for her getting such rave reviews too! ⭐

Eek what if this comes down to Rochelle vs. Johanne I'm hoping it's more, Pauline may need to be sacrificed here as I don't think Rochelle is going anywhere Edit: noooooooooo
