Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 74. Lucy Spraggan - You've Let Yourself Down 9efgn1ajlyM Release Date: February 26, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (11 weeks) | Peak: 23 | 43-33-23-30-35-31-31-35-31-37-49-x At #74 with another entry from Lucy Spraggan! What a year she's had for me, I will reiterate - this is probably her best era for music, we can expect a few more entries on this list I think. You've Let Yourself Down is a really good track, and more upbeat than some of her acoustic stuff. As you can see by my chart run, it didn't quite go top 20 but it did manage to stick around the 30s for a while after it's #23 peak. I'm looking forward to what's next for Lucy.

Shivers deserves better!

Yes, I am so gutted Becky never managed that top 10 with My Heart Goes, literally stuck at #11 for weeks on end. I loved the rant too :lol:

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 75. Carrie Hope Fletcher - I Know I Have A Heart (from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella) _w5StZKqft4 Release Date: February 12, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (10 weeks) | Peak: 26 | 37-26-28-37-49-x-49-x-37-31-30-x-38-x Just managing a place on my top #75 songs of 2021 we have the first from ALW's Cinderella, with I Know I Have A Heart. This is your typical ALW ballad with huge vocals and a key change to boot. The vocals are from Carrie Hope Fletcher who plays the lead in the show. She is one of the highest regarded performers in the theatre industry. I've seen this show 3 times and she has blown me away every single time. A pure talent.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 76. Cash Cash - Too Late (feat. Wiz Khalifa & Lukas Graham 9LEvJ9kCoZc Release Date: February 19, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (8 weeks) | Peak: 18 | 50-41-24-18-33-33-38-42-x This collaboration came to me randomly, it's another gem that I discovered just from flicking through New Music Friday. Lukas Graham sounds great on this track and it's got a proper nice drop aswell. To be honest I don't even mind Wiz Khalifa on this, it's a shame it's gone by relatively unnoticed as it probably would have done well with a bit of a push.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 77. Rita Ora (with Imanbek) - Mood (feat. KHEA) iNBe-spP580 Release Date: February 10, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (9 weeks) | Peak: 13 | 34-22-13-19-25-34-41-40-48-x Rita Ora released her Bang EP in February and I was absolutely loving it, she served us two massive bops and then a couple of questionable songs... this one falls bottom of the list on the EP for me. It's alright, and I like the pre-chorus but it just doesn't sound good at all. I feel like this is only high because I played the EP quite a lot in the earlier part of the year. The feature from KHEA isn't great either.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 78. Lucy Spraggan - Why Don't We Start from Here aLAco9GSDZA Release Date: February 5, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (7 weeks) | Peak: 16 | 48-40-18-16-20-26-46-x Another track from Lucy Spraggan here from her Choices album. Why Don't We Start from Here is another uplifting track and has a really good foot-tapping beat. I can see this being a great song to sing along to during her live shows.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 79. Nathan Evans - Wellerman (Sea Shanty) qP-7GNoDJ5c Release Date: February 5, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (9 weeks) | Peak: 22 | 35-22-22-30-39-x-41-47-47-47-x Into the 70s we go with TikTok sensation, Nathan Evans. During lockdown, a lot of us took to TikTok to relieve us of boredom and we all got creative with video-making. Scottish singer, Nathan decided to sit as a desk and perform the Sea-Shanty, Wellerman. It was a massive viral hit and it put him into contact with music producers 220 KID and Billen Ted for a huge dance remix (I'm sure we will see that appear in this countdown). The Sea Shanty version is cute, but nothing major and the remix really sold the song.

Embers was alright, but not surprised how badly it did. It really stood out at Eurovision and for all the wrong reasons.

100%! Lucy is a really talented songwriter, it amazes me how she isn't massive.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 80. Little Mix - Breathe IYhOE0fNzAI Release Date: November 6, 2020 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (17 weeks) | Peak: 14 | 27-25-26-14-25-23-14-34-27-23-34-38-46-x-48-36-33-x-23-x A consistent appearance on my chart at #80 with Breathe, the closing song from Little Mix's sixth studio album, Confetti. This song when released didn't strike me with much, but then Jesy left (before the controversy) and it took on a whole new meaning. Fast forward a year and it sounds even more raw with the recent news. It's a decent closer for the album but doesn't really threaten the group's other ballads.

Christ it’s even WORSE than I imagined

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 81. Becky Hill - Through The Night (feat. 220 KID) xCvTL6ETJ-g Release Date: August 27, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (8 weeks) | Peak: 08 | 9-8-25-26-19-19-23-46-x Finishing off the 81-90 group we have an album track from Becky Hill with Through The Night. We have now come to expect Becky to team up with major DJs to deliver her hits, and Through The Night does NOT disappoint. For me it's by far the best track from the album and I hope it gets the single treatment before the campaign is over. Some would argue that Becky can't get a hit without a feature and it's kind of true, but it's working wonders for her so if it's not broke, don't fix it. BOP.

Wales have just announced that nightclubs will be closed from 27th December and social distancing required in offices. It begins.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 82. Lucy Spraggan - Run T3sLlZl0v2M Release Date: December 11, 2020 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (9 weeks) | Peak: 19 | 40-19-25-27-x-49-47-x-29-25-42-x Lucy Spraggan has had a fantastic year for releases in 2021 IMO. Her best work ever has come out of this era and she makes her first appearance here with Run at #82. This uplifting track was released at the end of last year but it really got me through the lockdown in January, I took up outdoor exercising during lockdown and this track sounded great for motivation. I love Lucy and think she is seriously underrated but I was delighted to see her get her album to #5! :D

Love to see Becky Hill so high on your albums list! :wub:

I'm surprised to see Dawn of Chromatica on here tbh! Thought it was so random lol. I looooooved the Free Woman remix though :heart:

I agree, it's her best song imo! :) thanks for the comment! Hey Sergej! Glad you like the entries so far! By Your Side is a great song to feature in your list :)

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 83. Griff - Black Hole B2SK_jb68dk Release Date: January 18, 2021 UK Chart Peak: 18 Adam's Chart Run: (5 weeks) | Peak: 03 | 50-29-3-3-4-x At #83 we have another song that faced the same fate as By Your Side, in that I had a break from charting for a while meaning that this track dropped out from #4. Black Hole was released way back in January and I didn't hear it when it first came out, but I first discovered the track when Griff performed it on the Brit Awards. She gave a great performance and it made me want to check out the track. I don't find myself going back to this very often at all though but a pleasant song nonetheless.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 84. Calvin Harris - By Your Side (feat. Tom Grennan) 4hu5iCqQVcM Release Date: June 4, 2021 UK Chart Peak: 09 Adam's Chart Run: (3 weeks) | Peak: 01 | 6-3-1-x When you think of a massive pop-dance banger, Calvin Harris will often come to mind, his discography of ten number ones says it all. By Your Side is no different, featuring the raspy vocals of Tom Grennan, it does what Calvin does best, with a great hook. In my opinion, I think the beat goes on for far too long, because the actual melody of the song is great. I also think I need to explain the #1-OUT chart run :lol:. Basically, I work away during the Summer months for a major holiday resort and we had a super busy Summer this year, so my chart took a back seat a little bit, meaning that when I returned to it, a lot of songs simple just disappeared. This doesn't reflect my love for this song though, it was a total banger that really got vibing in Summer. :)

So glad to see some mutual love for Zoe! :)

Little Bit of Love is still sounding stunning to me. :wub: love Tom

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 85. Zoe Wees - Ghost TffJ74jV0sc Release Date: April 19, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (6 weeks) | Peak: 02 | 33-23-5-2-10-14-x Zoe Wees enters here at #85 with her single Ghost released in April this year. I love Zoe Wees, she is absolutely incredible. She found fame in 2017 on The Voice Kids and I can't believe she didn't win. Her deep, soulful voice is stunning and everything I've heard from Zoe has really impressed me. Ghost in particular is phenomenal, my favourite song from her by far.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 86. Syn Cole - Breathe (feat. kaspara) Cepc_GpHy5U Release Date: January 22, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (6 weeks) | Peak: 15 | 31-21-15-20-32-47-x At #86 we have a relatively unknown song by an artist called Syn Cole. I discovered this song just by looking through New Music Friday on Spotify. It features the vocals of kaspara, who has a really pleasant voice to listen to. It's a really cute song and was quite upbeat for a January release in lockdown. It's quite summer-y and probably would have been better releasing in May. Check it out if you haven't heard it :)
