10/10 bop can’t stop playing on repeat :cheeseblock:

Ella speeding up Apple Music today, Alibi is now at #9! Considering it’s dreadful playlist support, I’m happily surprised that Kygo and Ava’s Whatever is doing something on the dance chart! It’s 59 there, I wonder if it can make it into the overall top 200 by the end of the day (the top 32 on dance are in the top 200 atm)

Emma won the Critics Choice award :cheeseblock: Need her to win her 2nd Oscar for this <3 Yay I'm so so glad you saw it and loved it! :heart: And agree with literally everything you said <3

Babylon and Gran Turismo deserved better x (I hate that I high key stan the latter film but I do oops) Bottom 15 i agree mostly x I’ve seen like ten of them, my fave of those was The Boogeyman but that would also be bottom half in my ranking! The flash cgi was hideous 90-81 oh no x justice for Anatomy of a December Asteroid Fall in the Dial of Feelings Destiny x

My impact leading the way as per usual then x

Not you flopping by not waiting for my post!!

Me serving Idina :cheeseblock: (Aka an iconic #11 that was wrongfully denied a #1)

I wish you would and Slut (acoustic) Suburban Legends is lucky that I completely forgot about Slut acoustic’s existence x

Feather up to 26 and Alibi up to 37 on Apple Music! <3

Thanks Rob <3 iconic queen getting a deserved resurrection *.* Thanks James <3 Yeah I absolutely adore YLM, top-tier Midnights! And agreed about the 1989 vault tracks, all bar Suburban Legends are essential for me! There's so many songs on TL I'd love to see become a single, I think HMF is the one for me tho as a single choice! Say Don't Go has definitely peaked here, probs a steady fall from here on! Thanks Seltin and glad to see you loving those movements <3 Thanks Sergej and glad to see u stanning so many fab songs <3

Jonny 😭 easily one of my faves in there! Mollie is probs the only other faithful I’m really liking atp. Ik it’s easier as viewers as we know who the traitors are, but I’m side-eye-ing so many of them for not working out it’s Paul. The fact he didn’t go over Meg, who would’ve 100% been banished and such a pointless kill, should be enough to make it obvious but only about three of them seem to have any wits about that! (Not seen tonight’s episode so hopefully more will finally clock on)

(The Jack song isn't great, but I don't hate it)

Film of the year :cheeseblock: Emma serving the best performance of the decade so far :cheeseblock: The actress of our generation :cheeseblock: I'd def say it's worth seeing at the cinema, the film is gorgeous and there's quite a few funny moments that are great with an audience! For myself I had zero concerns about the plot in this film as I think it executes what could be a cause-for-concern plot in someone else's hands in a very respectful way. There a lot of sex scenes but imo they don't feel gratuitous and work with the story/character development

Yeah I have been thinking about this too! I definitely think Pocketful of Sunshine would've been big on TikTok/Spotify if Easy A had come out today, hopefully one day that song will get its justice! Also interestingly, 'Unwritten' is getting a boost from 'Anyone But You' which is directed by Will Gluck, who also directed 'Easy A'! The guy knows how to use a Natasha song to great effect in his movies *.*

Sabrina moved up to 5 and Sophie moved up to 10 on Apple Music’s Today Hits! ❤️ (And those positions are including the eventual Ari add, as she’s greyed out as track 1 currently!) - Ella/Rudimental added as track 22, Lil Nas X track 24, and Marshmello/Venbee track 30

Why Don’t We did this in 2019! (And deserved to have multiple hit singles x)

140. Kenya Grace - Strangers - #14 Sales: 750,800 Chart-Run: [73-79-53-24-17-14-19-41-42-48-61-73-90] (13wks) Kicking off this section is a huge chart hit and breakthrough for Kenya, this was instantly catchy and I thought about sending it to BJSC when I heard it on NMF, but obvs it took off way too quickly! Just a great dance-pop tune, it missed the top 10 here but had a solid top 100 run! 139. Rob Grant ft. Lana Del Rey - Lost At Sea - #07 Sales: 756,400 Chart-Run: [7-7-12-23-26-103-57-55-60-68-80-99] (12wks) The first of the two Lana + her dad tracks to appear here, both far surpassed my expectations and just showed how much magic Lana can bring to anything! This unsurprisingly debuted high but held up way better than I expected it to, even managing two weeks top 10! A beautiful little song with gorgeous gentle vocals, melody and piano. 138. Leony - Holding On - #10 Sales: 761,000 Chart-Run: [14-10-12-20-28-43-43-55-64-68-72-85-94] (13wks) Leony continues to SERVE absolute bops, honestly deserves MPG status (or at least Ava Max levels of pop queen success). Holding On was one of my instant faves from her albums, its got that catchy 2000s pop feel to it and the dance beat over it works really well! An underrated bop. (and get into Remedy which was v. high up for me in 2022!) 137. Taylor Swift - Eyes Open (Taylor's Version) - #02 Sales: 763,100 Chart-Run: [2-10-20-30-40-50-78-81-90-100] (10wks) This has never been my fave Taylor track but it hit a lot more with TV to the point that I now love it, its so atmospheric and I love this rockier side that Taylor serves here. It nearly went all the way to the top, but as always it was blocked by the far superior The Hunger Games soundtrack song, which has always overshadowed it x Still another great moment and a song where the TV is an improvement over the original! Also this loved hitting positions ending in 0 in its chart-run, hitting seven of them within its 10 week run! 136. Sabrina Carpenter - Feather - #08 Sales: 766,100 Chart-Run: [24-49-55-64-57-58-83-87-91-x(x27)-37-43-63-87-8] (14wks) A song that will be A LOT higher next year, already reaching a new peak of #2 in 2024 so far! I really loved this as an album track, an instant bop, but bad timing of release meant I never returned to it as much as I wanted to! So thankfully the music video gave me the chance to give this the attention it deserved (and what an ICONIC video, a church carpenter indeed! So many iconic shots, potential best video of 2023 x). This fully clicked with me and is probs top 5 Sabrina songs for me atm so glad to see it smashing irl too! Just an absolute perfect 00s vibes pop BOP. (also fun this + Eyes Open entered the charts in the same week + Holding On week after!) 135. (143) Rihanna - Lift Me Up - #03 Sales: 768,800 Chart-Run: [...-19-20-3-14-32-37-46-53-60-66-43-74-90-96] (14wks) Onto a holdover now, which actually reached a new peak in 2023 (I thought it was due to the Oscar performance but dates don't work out at all, must've been just cos of how competitive late 2022 was with Midnights/Xmas songs!). Not my fave RiRi song but its a gorgeous ballad (and tbh ballad RiRi>>'modern' RiRi) and it packs a punch. 134. Jorja Smith - Little Things - #29 Sales: 772,900 Chart-Run: [53-49-47-50-40-47-50-127-77-74-82-83-92-x(x7)-29-92] (15wks) A huge BOP and probs the best thing Jorja has done to-date! This had a long chart-run but struggled to get a great peak due to tough competition! Still such a bop (original version only, so much better than that mash-up) that reached a new peak on album release, its so catchy and great vibes <3 133. Freya Ridings - Rise - #08 Sales: 766,300 Chart-Run: [8-58-28-25-29-36-43-53-55-55-72-98-x(x13)-22] (12wks) After serving one of the albums of the year, Freya had this absolute ANTHEM of a bop come out for the soundtrack of that Ruby Gilman Teenage Kraken dreamworks movie! Rise is so anthemic and would be top-half on 'Blood Orange', such a fun melody and I love Freya's vocals on this track. Its a shame this song went so under the radar! And the fab live version allowed this to re-enter quite high at the end of the year! 132. Maisie Peters - Two Weeks Ago - #10 Sales: 779,700 Chart-Run: [12-10-25-31-20-34-107-58-57-61-67-79-95] (13wks) More Maisie now! (tho I do prefer the two album tracks in the previous section, this one had the advantage of being a pre-album release!). Two Weeks Ago is a lovely little ballad, its very simple but it packs a punch and its another gorgeous song in Maisie's discography <3 Beautiful lyrics too 131. Paramore - Big Man, Little Dignity - #21 Sales: 780,300 Chart-Run: [21-25-31-36-48-46-51-53-55-72-68-73-76-78-84-99] (16wks) And another album track to finish us off! BMLD very quickly became my album track highlight of Paramore's latest album, Hayley absolutely slayed on the lyrics & vocals, the production is great and I love the simmering rage throughout the track!! Up there with my fave Paramore tracks, such a fab tune <3

and I oop xxx anyway...! 06. Gold Forever - 8.35 (H: 11 - Roba, 10 - LMFan, Pensmith, Jay, _____/\____, Jason / L: 5 - Neil2407, 3 - Jessie Where) used to hate this but it hit way harder in the past year and is actually quite beautiful x 05. Lightning - 8.47 (H: 10 - LMFan, Me, Cody, ____/\____ / L: 6 - Pensmith - this one had pretty consistent scores!) Their best song, what a perfect pop bop, just pure euphoria and builds so well, insanely catchy well-crafted, a smash x 04. Chasing The Sun - 8.85 (H: 11 - Cody,ElectroBoy, 10 - Nina West, Neill2407, Monzo, Jay / L: 3 - RyanFM) Another bop, this was one of their biggest hits and probs their final huge smash! Ice Age 4 forever x 03. Lose My Mind - 8.97 (H: 11 - Pippa, Jessie Where, 10 - Electro Boy, LMFan, Pensmith, Mango / L: 5 - RyanFM + I was the 2nd lowest scorer oops) Shocked how high up this finished here, thought it'd be like 5th at best! It's good but not an essential for me! And onto the obvs top two... 02. All Time Low - 9.26 (H: 10 - Nina West, Monzo, Me, Jayy, ___'\__, Jason / L: two 8s - no 11s surprisingly but also all scores bar two were 9+!) Robbed of the win x (even tho I love GYC) - again perfect example of a euphoric pop anthem that builds and builds to that final moment *.* So catchy and its easy to see why this was their breakthrough smash <3 01. Glad You Came - 9.53 (H: 11 - Nina West, Pensmith, Jay, Jason, 10 - Jessie Where, Me, ___'\___, Cody / L: 7 - RyanFM) And their biggest smash by miles unsurprisingly also takes the victory! This is a perfect example from the fun early 2010s pop era and is such a great throwback tune, still hasn't got old <3 we're done! and ik u were all waiting patiently for this :kink:

Thanks Lewis <3 <3 Yeah Unicorn was up there for me too! It was my fave on the night but think I slightly preferred 2 other songs, my top 4 were all very close this year! Yeah her performance was fab but same I barely listened to it for most the year until it popped up on my Spotify wrapped! Glad to see the Taylor and Maisie love and yasss to a fellow Maisie stan, she has been serving this year *.*

150. Becky Hill ft. Lewis Thompson - Side Effects - #14 Sales: 713,800 Chart-Run: [14-15-17-23-28-34-52-56-140-85-85-93] (12wks) Becky scored another solid top 20 hit that failed to go top 10 this year with Side Effects, another dance banger! I actually slightly prefer this one to 'Disconnect' and it deserved to be a bigger hit, a bop! 149. Ellie Goulding - Tastes Like You - #13 Sales: 719,900 Chart-Run: [13-21-24-36-31-40-45-54-61-73-79-99-97] (13wks) I think this was a deluxe track, and who knows why considering it is way better than literally the rest of the album!!! Ellie's best in ages and I think this would've been one of my fave hits of the year if it came out a few years ago. Just so euphoric, its reminds me of a poppier more up-tempo 'Still Falling For You'. 148. Renee Rapp - Messy - #01 Sales: 720,300 Chart-Run: [2-1-6-23-53-16] (6wks) One of the most recent #1's and the first of many Renee songs in this rundown! Messy was my instant fave of the deluxe tracks from Snow Angel, another MAJOR bop and (iirc) another Ryan Tedder written or produced bop from this year. Its so so good, I love it lyrically and Renee is a star, a feel good MESSY anthem. 147. Taylor Swift ft. Fall Out Boy - Electric Touch - #11 Sales: 726,900 Chart-Run: [24-11-17-23-38-49-58-66-68-87] (10wks) Instantly thought this would be my least fave of the Speak Now TV tracks when announced due to that horrible feature, but this was surprisingly such a major bop and Foolish One exists x This was a great 2010-ish pop-rock bop and even the FOB feature worked, that chorus is so fun and rock-n-roll, I really love it <3 Got v. unlucky to just miss a top 10 peak here! 146. Maisie Peters - Therapy - #15 Sales: 727,300 Chart-Run: [15-19-87-45-42-43-44-52-60-60-56-69-96] (13wks) Another album track, this time from Maisie Peters! Therapy was another instant favourite and held on very well for an album track! Just a great pop tune, catchy production, fun lyrics & a great vocal. One of my faves from Maisie and such an underrated one <3 145. Kelsea Ballerini - Mountain With A View - #10 Sales: 733,000 Chart-Run: [66-18-10-18-23-33-50-48-53-56-59-79-82-89] (14wks) The album tracks continue! MWAV was a great intro to Kelsea's EP, introducing the themes that Kelsea is gonna tackle so good and the melody is beautiful, with many poignant and hard-hitting lyrics. It really set the tone for the EP successfully and its another mellow country triumph from Kelsea. 144. Maisie Peters - Coming of Age - #13 Sales: 734,400 Chart-Run: [13-18-86-50-46-51-43-48-57-61-57-71-97] (11wks) ANOTHER album track, this time from Maisie again! And I'm not surprised this basically ends up next to Therapy as both had pretty much identical chart-runs where they were always only a few places apart from each other! This was a great start to Maisie's album (after the extended intro), it took a few days to fully hit me but once it did I became obsessed and it was one of the highest charting album tracks on release! Just more fun bouncy euphoric pop. 143. Freya Ridings - Can I Jump? - #08 Sales: 744,400 Chart-Run: [25-22-22-29-30-8-13-30-42-52-63-87] (12wks) And let's continue with the album tracks!! Tho this one was at least a promo-single. Freya finally returned this year and Can I Jump was a fun positive anthem. Its not my fave from the album (I lowkey prefer album tracks like 'Bite Me' and 'Blood Orange' which missed my top 250), but its still another great uptempo moment from Freya! 142. Lauren Spencer Smith ft. GAYLE & Em Beihold - Fantasy - #05 Sales: 745,500 Chart-Run: [5-7-22-22-34-41-48-54-65-71-98-98] (12wks) Three of my fave recent basically one-hit wonder flops teaming up x This was always going to be a hit here! Fantasy is a great collaboration and allows all three of them to shine, they all delivered *.* Its nothing groundbreaking but this deserved better, and all three artists deserve more chart success than they get! A cute early year hit for me x 141. Rita Ora - You Only Love Me - #04 Sales: 747,600 Chart-Run: [4-9-10-20-28-34-44-53-68-74-81-84-90] (13wks) And Rita finally released her next album with this serving at its lead single. It was typical good fun Rita, a nice bop with a drop sounding straight out of 2016. I did enjoy bopping and listening to this, but it was such an obvs flop as a lead single - should've been Praising You (which idk how that bombed as badly as it did) or Waiting For You (which won't show up here but I rly love and is a summer anthem). Still another solid song to add to Rita's discography x
