James Blake by a mile.

"Death Of Love" sounds great - classic James Blake style. Looking forward to the whole thing.

Looking forward to it. Another great ranking show. The year before Lady Gaga took over.

This sounds interesting and quite different to other recent pop stuff. The dramaturgy of this song is excellent.

Great new entries from Slayyyter, Danny L Harle, and Arlo Parks. Berghain has great stamina as well as Londontown. "Au Pays Du Cocaine" is really great, a slow burner for me.

Ella did it - the first #1 we have in common in the same week. Also great to see the impact of Alice's album on your charts - Visions is a fantastic album.

When looking at all these drop-outs, it is becoming obvious how difficult it is to select 10-20 songs from it.

Thank you all for commenting. Ordered Louis' album today - it is likely that he will have two songs in my charts next week - his new single sounds awesome, too. Looking also forward to the Fcuckers and Leigh-Anne albums. My predictions were true. We both have the same #1 this week ;) Yeah - there were so many new songs released the last couple of weeks, so that Winona dropped a bit this week. Hope for further strong singles from her in the future. "Choosin' Texas" is really on heavy rotation here and I don't get tired of it. This is the first Slayyyter entry in my charts and it is really good. It is really a mess that the vocals on "Internet Girl" are that stupid and annoying because otherwise it might have been bigger for me. I quite like eating Zucchinis, but I don't need that line in a pop-song. I believe that Katseye could be much bigger when representing a bit more adult. Yeah - this January feels quite well so far - many good new releases refreshing my charts.

I'm happy for Jade and Addison for being that prominent in this ranking. Congrats to Lady Gaga for the win. Good that Sabrina Carpenter is relatively low with her songs as I found her last album not very good. It was so similar to her previous album, but overall on a lower level and her voice becomes a bit annoying for me. "Busy Woman" was her last one I really liked. Thank you @Calum for creating all these great polls and presenting the Top 20.

Finally, some good results. I was really happy when reading the news this morning.

Great to see all the songs from Alice's great album in your chart. The first contender for my Top 20 albums of 2026.

So far Madison's album tracks haven'r catched me that much - I like the Alice Merton album much more. From your top 10 I really like "Home Videos", "Faker" and "I Just Might".

"Love Bug" is a nice song - thank you for recommending! And thankfully it is no cover version of this: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/5GOGt6fpFc39ZhEdq3rdU0

Hope Ella can take the top spot here soon. Church has a great time at #1 ;). Voted!

U2

What a quality top 10 - 9 great songs + one from U2.

Umbrella is the logic winner for me - highly influential - perfect production - perfect vocals - one of the best R&B song of all time. My final stats: 1. Rihanna Feat. Jay-Z - Umbrella 10/10 2. Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby 10/10 3. MIKA - Grace Kelly 9/10 4. Timbaland; Keri Hilson; D.O.E. - The Way I Are 9/10 5. Beyoncé; Shakira - Beautiful Liar 8/10 6. Timbaland; Justin Timberlake; Nelly Furtado - Give It To Me 8/10 7. Robyn; Kleerup - With Every Heartbeat 7.5/10 8. Take That - Shine 7.5/10 9. Kanye West - Stronger 7/10 10. Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 7/10 11. Sugababes - About You Now 5/10 12. Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This 5/10 13. Katie Melua; Eva Cassidy - What a Wonderful World 4/10 14. Sugababes; Girls Aloud - Walk This Way 3/10 15. McFly - Baby's Coming Back 3/10 16. Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls 3/10 17. The Proclaimers; Andy Pipkin; Brian Potter - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) 0/10 18. Leon Jackson - When You Believe 0/10

The final season was not bad, but it was too much action and too less atmosphere for me. The other seasons builded up slower and so created more 80's atmosphere. With the army and the abyss that was a bit too much - would have enjoyed it more if the story line would be a bit less and therefore more humor like in the earlier seasons.

Leigh-Ann for me, eventhough this is not as good as the previous two singles.

Votings cast - so many good stuff - that was a difficult decision.

Ella Langley took over this week - "Choosin' Texas" has to be my most streamed song fo 2026 so far. This week was the refresher part 2 with another 14 new entries this week.

I don't know why this is not working today -Gooddelta's show worked without propblems and also the listenthrough of the EOY pop-contest worked fine, but today no chance - the vids are buffering and they don't go further to the next vid - I cannot put anyting in the chat and the chat is delayed. It is not my connection as other things work properly.

Update: It connects now but I cannot write anyting (it always shows connecting when writing and nothing happens) - at least I can listen to the videos
