18 Sienna Spiro - Dream Police (418 points, peak @ #1) Another brilliant song from Sienna. The dramaturgy is perfect and her voice is on point. First line: "I been out cold cuz this world I live in Hasn't got you in it but it's got me missing You never had a plan, just a man and a mission You know, you know"

19 Isabel LaRosa - Her Face (411 points, peak @ #1) "Her Face" is synth-pop heaven. What a perfect production and Isabel's fits perfect into the atmosphere. First line: "Oh, Angelina Pink hair and pretty lace A ballerina Her picture-perfect frame"

20 Hannah Bahng - Misunderstood (411 points, peak @ #6) Hannah Bahng is a South Korean-Australian singer-songwriter, producer, and visual artist known for her introspective, genre-blending music and DIY creative approach. She was born on February 9, 2004 in Sydney, Australia, and grew up with a passion for music encouraged by her mother’s piano lessons. She first gained attention by sharing vlogs, song covers, and original content on YouTube and TikTok, building a devoted following online. "Misunderstood" is a perfect alternative pop anthem. I used it for my first appearence in the BJSC, where it unfortunately did not qualify for the final. First line: "Oh it happened again Now I'm back in the den Where the lions are men (hm) Had a couple of drinks I don't know what to think Will I swim or sink?"

Love the albums from Jade, Tate, Taylor, Lorde, Renee, Haim and Perry. Not a fan of Sabrina Carpenter latest album. "Tears" was the only song I liked a bit and the biggest letdown was the most annoying album cover of 2025.

"Genie In A Bottle" is stellar - one of the best pop songs of all time and higher in my ranking. Not a big fan of "Sunscreen", which only made #23 in my ranking. My places 7 to 4: 07 Armand van Helden - You Don't Know Me 9.5/10 Funky house banger!!! 06 Britney Spears - Baby One More Time 9.5/10 Nice kick-off for Britney's career, but I like Christina's debut even more. 05 Blondie - Marie 9.5/10 Perfect comeback single. 04 Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) 9.5/10 Great Euro banger - it was everywhere in 1999. My top 3 are all 10/10 with one tune in common with Gooddelta.

The backstreet boys are one of the greatest boy band groups of all time. "I Want It That Way" is great, but due to the big number of great #1's in 1999 I could rank it only at #21.

21 Holly Humberstone - Die Happy (401 points, peak #1) What a beautiful mystic song!!! This one is synth-pop at its best with Holly in top form. First line: "You said in a past life we were spiders Or something neo-goth and grandiose You asked if you could hold my hand forever and ever You asked me if I still believed in ghosts"

22 Rosalia, Bjork & Yves Tumor – Berghain (401 points, peak @ #2) From my album of the year comes this wonderful lead single. It was just released a bit too close to the year, otherwise it would have gained some more positions. First line: "Seine Angst ist meine Angst Seine Wut ist meine Wut Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe Sein Blut ist mein Blut"

23 Sigrid - Fort Knox (401 points, peak @ #1) "There's Always More That I Could Say" is one of my favourite albums of the year. "Fort Knox" is one of the lead songs from the albums. A perfect indie-pop anthem. First line: "I don't recognise you anymore And that heartbeat in your chest Then I don't know what you came here for 'Cause you touch like you want revenge"

24 King Princess - RIP KP (388 points, peak #3) Overall, I found King Princess' third album quite average, but "RIP KP" is a brilliant song I loved from the first listen. The video of it is absolutely brilliant and my favourite music video of the year. First line: "Outside and the sun is shining Her lips look like cherry ice with whip creme and a perfect smile My girl could destroy your life"

25 Kali Uchis & Ravyn Lenae - Cry About It! (388 points, peak @ #2) One of the R&B songs of the year. Kali and Ravyn harmonize perfectly in this brilliant duet. First line: "Too bad (too bad), so sad (so sad) You should cry about it (oh-oh) Llora, llora, hasta que ya te deje de doler Too bad (too bad), so sad (so sad) Go cry about it"

26 Taylor Swift - The Fate Of Ophelia (382 points, peak @ #3) "The Life Of A Showgirl" is a nice album with "The Fate Of Ophelia" as stand-out song. First line: "I heard you calling On the megaphone You wanna see me all alone As legend has it you Are quite the pyro You light the match to watch it blow"

It is a great album worth checking in whole. "Mount Analogue" stood out for me since the first listen. Thanks for commenting.

Ooooh - these are great news - will be one of the first orders of the year then. One more to com from Jade ;) Thanks for commenting.

27 Sofia Camara - Girls Like You (365 points, peak @ #6) "Girls Like You" introduced me to Sofia and became a big hit for me. What a great pop singer - another one who should have a breakthrough soon. First line: "I know my past and I repeat it And I know a warning sign when I see it Maybe the bad ones are my weakness Tell me a lie and I will believe it"

28 Addison Rae - High Fashion (365 points, peak @ #1) Great debut album from Addison with loads of hits. From the songs released by her this year, "High Fashion" is my favourite - great hyperpop. First line: "Have you ever dreamt of being seen? Not by someone, more like in magazine Wanting something more than just a hit Nothing else can make me feel like this"

29 Alison Goldfrapp - Strange Things Happen (363 points, peak @ #2) Alison still on fire. "Flux" made it into my Top 20 albums of the year. "Strange Things Happens" is a beautiful, dreamy synth-pop anthem. First line: "We're right out on the edge, daring the stars to fall Spinning out in the dark, out of control So high, then it's slow, moving with you again I wanna know how it feels letting us go"

30 CMAT - Euro Country (361 points, peak @ #1) This is the title song of one of the best albums of the year. CMAT delivered big time this year. One more to come from her later. First line: "Cad is gá dom a dhéanamh mura bhfuil mé ag bualadh leat? Tá ceann folamh agam, yah, agus pearsantacht nua Éirím níos dofheicthe, is tú imithe, ó mo shaol Níl aon rud fágtha sa scátháin An mbeidh mé álainn mhaol? Yeah"

31 Madison Beer - Bittersweet (359 points, peak @ #5) Madison Beer is an American singer and songwriter known for her powerful vocals and polished pop sound. She gained early attention in 2012 and later rose to fame with hits like “Selfish” and “Reckless.” Madison blends pop and R&B influences and is also recognized for her advocacy around mental health and self-confidence. "Bittersweet" is a great pop song. Hopefully, there will be a new album soon. First line: "Can't believe it ends this way, thought you'd always stay. Now I gotta wonder what I changed. Think I have to go, walkin' all alone. Hate to see it all go down the drain."

32 Spellling - Mount Analogue (344 points, peak @ #2) Spellling is an indie-pop singer from Oakland, USA. "Portraitf Of My Heart" is her fifth albums. "Mount Analogue" is a beatiful synth-pop song from this album. First line: "Time is off the dial Deep into denial I fear your touch But I won't run I just roam Into your world"

33 Sombr - Back To Friends (343 points, peak @ #2) Sombr's second strike. One more to follow from him. First line: "Touch my body tender. 'Cause the feeling makes me weak. Kicking off the covers. I see the ceiling, while you're looking down at me"

34 The Lathums - Stellar Cast (338 points, peak @ #1) The Lathums are an indie rock band from Wigan. They released their brilliant third album "Matter Does Not Define" this year, of which "Stellar Cast" is my favourite song. First line: "There's a stellar cast, an anticipated gale. And I can't see past this Jamaican ale It's making me wobbly, it's almost sent me to my knees"

35 Purple Disco Machine & Alison Goldfrapp - Dream Machine (338 points, peak @ #2) Beautiful synth pop dreams produced by Purple Disco Machine with stunning vocals by Alison Goldfrapp. A combo that can't do wrong. First line: "Hello, I'm Dream Machine, there's no uncertainty. The rhythm of our minds in perfect harmony"

36 Tame Impala - Dracula (327 points, peak @ #6) Tame Impala is the psychedelic music project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, who writes, records, and produces all the music, while a live band (including Jay Watson, Dominic Simper, Cam Avery, Julien Barbagallo) performs with him. "Deadbeat" is their 5th album, of which "Dracula" is my favourite song from. First line: "The morning light is turning blue, the feeling is bizarre (bizarre) The night is almost over, I still don't know where you are"

37 Sofia Camara - Parking Lot (325 points, peak @ #2) Sofia Camara is a Portuguese‑Canadian pop and R&B singer‑songwriter born on May 21, 2002, who first gained attention posting cover songs on social media before releasing her own emotionally driven pop tracks. I came across her song as recommendation from someone posting on the UK charts website. "Parking Lot" is a fantastic pop ballad. Sofia is definitely someone to watch out in the future. First line: "I saw you yesterday, I didn't even say hi I know you don't deserve that, but I couldn't find the words"
