Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 68. Imanbek x Cher Lloyd - Baddest hByQMx-lRTc Release Date: May 7, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (8 weeks) | Peak: 13 | 44-27-25-16-13-17-14-x-39-x Well here we are in 2021 and I am charting a track by Cher Lloyd, never would have thought that but stranger things have happened in the world. It's a shame Cher abandoned everything in the UK to chase one song in the US. If she had put more effort into her UK promo she probably would have had a better career. It's a shame because some of the material she has put out in the last couple of years has been fantastic. Lost in particular is stunning. Imanbek works their magic on this track to give us a different sound to the normal DJ/pop collaborations, however the lyrics leave a lot to be desired.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 69. Michael Calfan - Body Zwkx7HWM1-A Release Date: March 19, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (8 weeks) | Peak: 08 | 35-27-17-8-19-20-27-39-x We have another find from New Music Friday at #69, this time with Body by Michael Calfan. This is quite a generic track but it's still a bop and was released just before we were allowed to meet outdoors in pubs :lol:. It sounded pretty good in the Spring sunshine on our 'daily walks' and peaked in my top 10 at number 8. A generic bop but worth a listen if you haven't already!

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 70. Rina Sawayama - LUCID BVTr3GRy5g8 Release Date: November 25, 2020 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (7 weeks) | Peak: 13 | 33-16-13-19-31-45-x-46-x As we enter the next group of songs, we have Rina Sawayama at #70 with her track LUCID. I'd never heard of Rina before this forum and I saw LUCID appearing on quite a few personal charts, so I decided to check it out and it quickly became a song I found myself repeating for a while. A huge banger and it's a shame it was released when Nightclubs were closed because it absolutely slaps. I liked her on Dawn of Chromatica too so I'm excited to see future projects from Rina Sawayama.

Thanks Pete! I really enjoyed Too Late :)

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 71. Sia x David Guetta - Floating Through Space 7Xfwu8NH1iI Release Date: February 4, 2021 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (7 weeks) | Peak: 06 | 29-10-7-6-14-28-41-x Up next at #71 we have another collaboration from Sia and David Guetta. They have brought us some great tracks such as Titanium and She Wolf. I've got to say Floating Through Space is down there as probably their worst collab. I don't think it's great at all and haven't listened to it since it left my chart. That said, I must have enjoyed it at some point for it to reach the top 10, but I'm not surprised it did nothing officially in the UK. Weak effort imo.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 72. Elton John & Years & Years - Its a sin Hk4eMIswunQ Release Date: May 11, 2021 UK Chart Peak: 47 Adam's Chart Run: (8 weeks) | Peak: 02 | 36-8-5-2-2-3-12-38-x What a song we have here at #72. All you need to do is watch the video. Elton John and Years & Years teamed up on this cover of It's A Sin and my god it's fantastic. It's so relevant after the hit Channel 4 Series which featured Olly Alexander as the lead. (Did anyone else cry their heart out?), and they then performed this at the BRITs. The slow piano beginning transitioning into the synth-pop banger is so well done and Olly's vocals are insane on this. I can't recommend this performance enough, it's so so well done. Top marks to everyone involved.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2021: 73. All Time Low - Monsters (feat. Demi Lovato & blackbear) NlnwXIigAAs Release Date: December 4, 2020 UK Chart Peak: DNC Adam's Chart Run: (9 weeks) | Peak: 25 | 36-27-25-29-38-37-37-37-45-x-44-x Well never before did I ever think I'd chart All Time Low but here we are #74 with Monsters. This is typically a bit heavier (though I'd still class it as pop) than what I normally listen to, but it's got a cracking chorus and great lyrics. Teaming up with Demi Lovato and blackbear for this remix sold the song to me, as I enjoy listening to both artists. I've just checked and I'm surprised the song never charted to be honest. An honest bop imo.

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.

Sam Fender vs Gayle for new year #1?

Welp, another tea already then!

Right time to make a cup of tea whilst this garbage is on. :lol:

Kelly falling :o, wow! I expected a peak for her this week

Shivers still sounds so good, Ed's only bearable song for me.

Justice for the Girls Aloud cover of Jingle Bell Rock.

I feel like One More Sleep isn't hitting as hard this year? Maybe it's just me
