I guess it's just the fact that not every great player is destined to he a great manager. If he does go I hope he can find something that really fits his character.

Another win yesterday for Leeds against Derby keeps them top of the table - still only 2 points separating the Top 3 though!

Just giving When The Sun Shines again given you posted in and having a skim through the lyrics - certainly some interesting points in there! Quite different to a lot of rap songs out there.

Can't say I've heard any of those EPs but I did enjoy the two Boy in Space BJSC entries from way back when so maybe I should give some of his new stuff a listen!

Interesting stuff! Not too sure what I'm expecting to appear but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough ^_^

Ah nice! I've not heard of The Color Purple but it does sound like the sort of song that might be made for a film. Thanks Lewis ^_^ Thanks Sergej! Glad you're enjoying these ones - thought you'd be happy to see Benson pop up! Thanks Joseph ^_^

I don't follow either of these two as much as I used to but I chanced upon this track and it sounds great, absolutely what I want to hear in a dance song. There are a few songs which are still flying fairly high in my charts in this section! This is a lovely uplifting worship song with a nice piano riff that kept it in my head for a good few months.

Certainly an interesting subject line from The Vaccines here, focussing on allowing your heart to break when things to go to plan romance-wise.

Video TRR_WeKUAlg Commentary Kinnship's #1 'Toiling' will be a LOT higher up this chart, but landing at number 91 is his follow-up, 'Can You Do The Talking?' This is a very different vibe to the drum-heavy Toiling (although it stil has the synths) but after a few listens I really got into this and wouldn't be surprised if it cracks the Top 10 in the new year.

Getting through this quickly! Days of Oblivion was a great Metric song and will be making an appearance higher up my list, and nice to see Luktelk making it in here as well.

I don't follow NBA much so just looking at the All Star thing now, looks interesting! Is the idea that you vote for the best players and the ones with the most votes play a special match together?

Littler keeping his form then I see! I love the way the Wikipedia editors update the knockout stage - one of the Third Round matches is Ryan Joyce vs Ryan Searle so in the Fourth Round column they've pre-filled it with the name 'Ryan' so they just have to add the right surname in!

I guess I'm at least consistent in being second-last for the last few weeks :lol:

I've not heard of dearALICE before but did think the name and picture looked very K-Pop-y before reading your explanation! Having a non-Korean group trained in a K-Pop way does sound very interesting.

Thanks for commenting Sergej! I was indeed in that contest! Gave it quite high points if I remember correctly - although I had heard the song before as my dad had it on his playlist. Indeed - it'll be interesting to see where it places for you!

Oba Reengy & Rehmahz) (899pts) NE (3/2/2024) 48-32-25-25-25-25-25-25-25-26-25-36-44-50-64-82-90-97-xx A very fun Nigerian worship song! 117: The Avener - The Morning Sun (901pts) NE (20/7/2024) 90-19-11-8-10-18-23-28-38-48-62-71-86-xx A summer dance song that sounded great when the sun was out but began to fade afterwards. 116: Benson Boone - Beautiful Things (902pts) NE (10/2/2024) 79-22-22-22-22-22-22-22-24-30-40-51-60-71-87-98-xx The only song to top the Official Chart this year and appear here, a fairly inoffensive song and he does have a good voice. 115: WE ARE ONE - Up In My Bones (906pts) NE (13/4/2024) 69-27-14-11-9-17-22-30-44-50-55-57-61-72-83-89-xx 114: Vance Joy - Rock It (911pts) NE (3/2/2024) 34-23-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-30-39-50-50-58-70-86-97-xx 113: The Head And The Heart - Tiebreaker (911pts) NE (13/1/2024) 65-53-45-40-29-21-21-21-21-21-21-21-32-44-55-72-81-94-xx 112: CalledOut Music - Avalanche (915pts) NE (19/10/2024) 17-15-12-13-14-15-18-24-34-... 111: METRUTH - Steady My Heart (ft. Christian Singleton) (921pts) NE (6/4/2024) 10-11-12-13-15-22-35-42-50-56-67-81-85-94-xx A second Top 10 for Leeds-based METRUTH, this one is more powerful than It'll Be Okay which was more of a soothing song but still sounds great. 110: Lake Malawi - Do It (925pts) NE (18/5/2024) 79-69-71-52-41-37-28-23-23-24-31-42-46-54-62-65-67-81-99-xx Their first Top 100 since Eurovision, this is a great synth-pop track that stayed for a decent while in my chart. 109: Myles Smith - Stargazing (926pts) NE (25/5/2024) 54-35-34-23-22-23-27-32-31-42-50-52-60-68-72-73-93-xx And we have another charting song dropping out here! I love this sort of song, so much positive energy and a real antidote to all the breakup songs that so often clog the charts up. 108: CalledOut Music - Never Die Gang (ft. Guvna B) (937pts) NE (20/1/2024) 49-28-26-21-32-32-32-32-32-32-32-46-56-70-76-84-100-xx 107: Hollow Coves - Milk & Honey (939pts) NE (6/1/2024) 46-31-30-24-25-28-43-43-43-43-43-43-43-56-68-79-90-xx 106: Josiah Queen & Henrik - i need you more (940pts) NE (21/9/2024) 20-14-15-17-18-18-25-31-35-42-51-66-79-xx Not listened to too much Josiah Queen, but this one grabbed me for some reason and sounds good! 105: Jon Foreman - Eulogy (945pts) NE (8/6/2024) 6-8-12-16-20-24-27-34-43-47-55-63-66-68-82-100-xx 104: Courteeners - Pink Cactus Café (947pts) NE (5/10/2024) 88-70-34-27-18-17-16-18-21-25-30-... 103: Petit Desk - Is there anyone? (948pts) NE (17/2/2024) 16-16-16-16-16-16-16-20-19-23-30-37-48-65-79-86-100-xx Highest act from Thailand in my countdown (probably), the East Asian countries do make some good indie music when I go out of my way to find it! 102: Alicia Keys - Lifeline (954pts) NE (13/1/2024) 75-48-35-38-30-24-24-24-24-24-24-24-28-33-48-60-62-73-89-99-xx 101: Axel Flóvent - This Feeling (958pts) NE (22/6/2024) 23-18-18-14-14-14-21-26-36-44-50-54-63-75-87-xx

140: The Coronas - Good Boy (775pts) NE (12/10/2024) 31-26-23-27-27-31-35-46-47-54-... This song does seem to go against the grain of the rest of the album which made it pretty interesting to listen to. 139: Bad Sounds - Aah Song (781pts) NE (8/6/2024) 97-89-46-41-34-29-23-26-31-38-45-53-58-61-72-92-xx The highest Bad Sounds song this year, I do seem to like their more mellow sounds compared to the more traditional indie side of them! 138: Manor Collective - Holy Spirit Move (ft. Sarah Bird) (786pts) NE (22/6/2024) 44-29-19-21-25-29-37-42-48-57-62-64-69-86-97-xx This song is really short but also really beautiful, with just a piano and her voice. 137: Limoblaze - Holy Father (797pts) NE (27/7/2024) 46-38-43-49-36-29-25-26-35-40-46-57-75-80-93-xx 136: JERUB - Carry The Load (797pts) NE (3/8/2024) 49-31-19-20-19-19-23-28-45-49-61-77-82-95-xx 135: Elle Limebear - Soar (800pts) NE (9/11/2024) 79-49-26-20-20-21-... 134: Forrest Frank - MORE THAN A FEELING (803pts) NE (7/9/2024) 21-14-10-16-21-26-42-54-63-69-76-85-92-92-xx Forrest Frank's second Top 10, this didn't grab me as much as Hallelujah but still sounds great and was one of my picks from his album. 133: Mark Ambor - Belong Together (816pts) NE (20/4/2024) 19-11-7-8-14-26-36-48-57-70-75-82-94-xx Another actually-popular song! I think it may have actually spent another week early on in my chart as I accidentally named it 'Good To Be' after his other song but ah well, I've given it a few more points to bump it up anyway! 132: Billy Lockett - I Could Use A Friend (822pts) NE (9/12/2023) 31-23-20-20-19-16-19-17-29-40-55-xx Apparently Billy Lockett performed this on The Voice or something more recently - good to see him get a bit more exposure I guess, but this was the first song of his I've heard in a little while and it is pretty emotional. 131: Noel Robinson & Steph Macleod - Breaker of Chains (827pts) NE (16/11/2024) 52-28-25-17-16-... 130: Keane - Love Actually (834pts) NE (16/12/2023) 12-4-3-4-8-20-41-82-xx A sort-of Christmas song that had a gentler fall, this was actually written for the film Love Actually as opposed to a new song but was only released last year. 129: SOFYKA - Waterfall (834pts) NE (13/7/2024) 50-21-17-17-23-26-30-30-35-41-55-67-77-91-xx Another of my BJSC entries! This one was pretty close to making the final as well. 128: Bastille - Seasons & Narcissus (836pts) NE (17/8/2024) 35-14-3-5-7-23-50-55-73-89-91-xx Nice to see Bastille come back with something a little different, I got into this pretty quickly but the sad ambience of it meant it dropped quite quickly as well. 127: Circa Waves - We Made It (839pts) NE (5/10/2024) 89-60-29-21-20-21-24-29-37-42-46-... 126: Steve Angello - ME (843pts) NE (27/1/2024) 39-22-18-20-20-20-20-20-20-20-33-45-57-64-71-86-99-xx 125: Feeder - Sahara (852pts) NE (11/5/2024) 50-47-37-27-26-25-28-31-37-43-58-64-70-74-80-86-92-91-xx Nice to see Feeder back! This song is pretty epic and certainly had a decent chart run. 124: Jonas Blue & Galantis - Mountains (ft. Zoe Wees) (861pts) NE (22/6/2024) 85-20-9-11-13-16-26-30-40-49-54-58-67-83-93-xx Another Zoe Wees entry in my chart that grabbed me very quickly after I heard it! Funnily enough there's a lower-charting Galantis song still to come. 123: Brandon Lake - Tear Off The Roof (863pts) NE (6/1/2024) 92-58-44-40-33-34-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-51-51-62-70-79-92-xx I've had this song in my head today coincidentally! A song which sort-of mirrors Jesus healing the paralysed man. 122: Tinlicker - Nowhere To Go (ft. Brian Molko) (881pts) NE (3/8/2024) 15-12-13-13-14-14-15-21-46-50-63-78-83-96-xx One of the few BJSC entries in my Spotify Wrapped (largely because Spotify kept deciding to play it when my 50-song playlist was on shuffle!), this one grew on me as the contest went on and the contrast of the vocals and the dance music worked well. 121: Son Mieux - This Is The Moment (ft. Nile Rodgers) (881pts) NE (6/7/2024) 51-46-53-53-46-40-34-28-26-29-32-44-54-61-69-84-87-100-xx

Yeah I don't think cycling in Britain is on a positive outlook - that combined with the fact the Tour won't be on Freeview anymore means there's not much incentive for younger people to get into it.

I can't say I've listened to much of Benson's album but Beautiful Things was definitely the best song to top the official charts this year!

160: Coldplay - WE PRAY (ft. Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna & TINI) (695pts) NE (31/8/2024) 46-27-19-16-22-27-36-52-60-69-80-88-97-100-xx The first of two Coldplay songs in my EOY, was nice to see a song about prayer make the Top 40 for the first time in a while! 159: Skillet - Unpopular (708pts) NE (5/10/2024) 60-53-35-28-29-33-40-47-55-53-61-... 158: Stevie Valentine - All In (708pts) NE (25/11/2023) 94-52-47-45-48-46-35-27-27-30-41-49-64-xx 157: Sheppard - Edge of the Earth (709pts) NE (11/5/2024) 35-33-32-32-32-33-39-44-53-63-69-76-85-88-94-99-xx I've not charted Sheppard for a few years but really enjoyed this one - and it's just struck me that the song title is almost the same as 'Edge of the Night', I guess artists are doing that sort of thing more and more nowadays. 156: Jax Jones - Never Be Lonely (ft. Zoe Wees) (712pts) NE (17/2/2024) 34-34-34-34-34-34-34-34-47-58-66-72-87-100-xx SO CLOSE to Zoe Wees getting her first Top 40 single this year! A decent track from Jax as well. 155: Felix Jaehn - Without You (ft. Jasmine Thompson) (719pts) NE (25/5/2024) 24-17-18-20-21-30-40-47-66-72-78-82-87-93-xx 154: Jenna Raine - Roses (722pts) NE (14/9/2024) 88-77-65-48-48-44-43-48-42-38-44-54-61-68-... 153: Johnossi - Forevers (725pts) NE (19/10/2024) 50-34-28-25-26-30-38-41-48-... 152: The Coronas - At Least She's Laughing (731pts) NE (12/10/2024) 67-37-29-26-28-32-33-44-46-53-... The first of many Coronas songs in this year's EOY - At Least She's Laughing is a song about trying to find romantic love when you've not done it for a while. 151: Blossoms - What Can I Say After I'm Sorry? (731pts) NE (8/6/2024) 47-40-36-33-29-31-34-44-53-56-63-71-75-76-96-xx Blossoms have a song much higher up this list but this was a decent one to kick their new album off with! 150: Blanks - Hopes Up High (736pts) NE (19/10/2024) 59-37-24-23-23-27-36-38-47-... 149: The Sherlocks - Man on the Loose (736pts) NE (5/10/2024) 53-51-47-52-51-39-36-36-39-43-51-xx 148: KEYS - There's No I In Team (738pts) NE (3/8/2024) 100-78-58-48-36-31-27-26-33-32-40-55-63-73-85-93-xx This one took a while for me but I ended up really getting into it, a quirky alternative song about being stuck on calls all day long. 147: Reblah & Jo Joey - I'm Blessed (739pts) NE (24/8/2024) 26-20-17-17-15-24-33-42-57-65-75-88-95-xx I've started to get more and more into Christian rap, and this is one of the better offerings! Very catchy. 146: Good Neighbours - Home (739pts) NE (10/2/2024) 84-28-28-28-28-28-28-28-38-48-63-73-80-93-xx Another charting song now, was nice to see a new indie act breaking into the Top 40. 145: Grace Graber - Breakthrough (746pts) NE (13/4/2024) 29-24-18-16-15-26-38-45-53-63-75-80-86-100-xx 144: Frank Walker - Waiting (ft. Stephen Puth) (746pts) NE (27/1/2024) 73-46-36-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-41-53-68-78-85-xx 143: Ladaniva - Jako (769pts) NE (18/5/2024) 21-23-26-30-32-42-47-46-48-60-66-72-76-82-88-95-94-xx Eurovision again! This one didn't make an immediate impact but lasted longer than most of the songs that did, very upbeat and cheery. 142: Philip Jonathan - Giant (773pts) NE (15/6/2024) 35-31-26-25-25-28-37-44-49-56-64-68-69-84-xx 141: The Coronas & Jamie Duffy - Confirmation (773pts) NE (14/9/2024) 77-62-37-26-28-21-24-36-44-50-56-65-75-88-xx And we finish this section with our second Coronas song! This is quite a downbeat track but works well in the entirety of the album.

Lena is a good example of what I mentioned before! Straitjacket is an interesting song giving a quick listen now, she certainly sounds madly in love with her partner.

180: NAKED KOALA - Heat of the Sun (591pts) NE (13/7/2024) 60-33-33-29-32-39-47-53-57-66-81-91-xx NAKED KOALA is a really weird name for a music act but this song is pretty catchy and a nice indie track. 179: The Strumbellas - Running Out of Time (599pts) NE (13/1/2024) 93-98-93-75-64-78-xx RE (11/5/2024) 33-34-36-34-39-49-64-67-76-86-99-xx The Strumbellas had a couple of songs enter my chart at the start of the year after I did my usual thing of remembering acts after they appeared in my EOY :lol: This one didn't make an immediate impression but stayed on my mind and after Lent finally managed a Top 40 peak. 178: Karma Kid - The Gates Will Open (600pts) NE (9/12/2023) 36-35-43-44-37-33-37-48-58-63-77-xx A BJSC song from last year I believe! This one got my +18 and managed to survive the Christmas onslaught as well. 177: Good Neighbours - Daisies (606pts) NE (20/7/2024) 57-47-41-35-30-32-38-46-51-64-78-87-xx The follow up to Home (which is still to come), would have been happy to see this in the UK Charts but sadly didn't happen. 176: Limoblaze & Princeton South - Victory (612pts) NE (9/11/2024) 55-46-39-30-28-33-... 175: Skinny Living - Thank You For Making Me Feel Good (615pts) NE (9/11/2024) 66-18-20-26-26-37-... 174: Kaiser Chiefs - The Lads (616pts) NE (20/4/2024) 28-27-25-26-39-48-52-58-62-74-77-84-97-xx Another decent Kaiser Chiefs album track, this one is about still being friends with people from school (which ironically I am not) 173: Forrest Frank - UPS & DOWNS (620pts) NE (23/11/2024) 88-34-29-22-... 172: Unspoken - What He Says About You (622pts) NE (13/7/2024) 67-49-45-32-28-31-39-42-51-59-71-84-93-xx Unspoken have been around for ages but this song grabbed me, putting a bit of a fresh spin on the usual Christian music. 171: Jeremy Camp - No Survivors (625pts) NE (15/6/2024) 26-32-37-42-39-45-50-56-61-68-74-79-80-100-xx 170: KXC, Gas Street Music & Manor Collective - Hallelujah Jesus Saves (ft. Rich Dicas & Millie Ferguson) (628pts) NE (28/9/2024) 81-85-72-49-36-33-34-37-43-53-60-71-... Took me a while to get into this one but really enjoy it now, a lively contemporary worship track. 169: JERUB - Gonna Be Okay (633pts) NE (4/5/2024) 42-27-25-28-29-36-48-63-66-65-74-86-91-xx 168: Jacob Smith - To Your River (643pts) NE (24/8/2024) 34-27-22-24-24-31-40-50-65-72-84-96-xx 167: ayokay - Leave With My Love (648pts) NE (14/9/2024) 22-14-15-20-25-41-53-62-68-75-83-91-96-xx Another BJSC +18 here! This was a good dance track that probably just enterd my chart at the wrong time to have a longer run. 166: Saint Motel - Stay Golden (651pts) NE (17/8/2024) 89-84-47-41-34-27-32-39-47-58-64-66-72-80-91-95-100-xx 165: Harrison Storm - My Way Home (656pts) NE (10/2/2024) 71-38-38-38-38-38-38-38-50-52-67-75-82-95-xx 164: Galactus Jack - Words (656pts) NE (17/2/2024) 46-46-46-46-46-46-46-55-65-41-33-43-56-72-83-90-xx I think I sent this to BJSC? It's a fairly nice dance track although not one that stands out for me particularly. 163: Gaetan Judd & CalledOut Music - Let Me Know (657pts) NE (25/5/2024) 17-16-17-19-24-34-43-61-71-79-87-91-97-xx 162: Anna Ermakova - Behind Blue Eyes (657pts) NE (3/2/2024) 28-27-42-42-42-42-42-42-42-61-71-82-93-xx 161: Royal Otis - Merry Mary Marry Me (685pts) NE (13/7/2024) 81-37-35-30-29-33-42-49-49-48-50-64-74-88-xx Certainly a fun title :lol: Although it does just sound like they're saying 'Marry Marry Marry Marry Me'. A decent song to go alongside their BJSC success with Oysters In My Pocket and their actual success with their Linger cover. (And I'm just finding out now that they're actually called 'Royel Otis', guess I'm going to have to correct all my chart records!)

Glad you're enjoying Amen - I think Madison Ryann Ward does tend to go a little more alternative than most Christian artists! I guess that means we might be seeing Luktelk in your countdown then?

Interested to see what pops up here - there's almost always a bunch of artists I had no idea released music this year in yours!

Right let's get going! 200: Manor Collective - How Good (ft. Becca Folkes, Junior Garr & Tertia May) (523pts) NE (8/6/2024) 92-95-80-74-50-40-36-48-54-58-65-72-77-78-98-xx I've just managed to poke this one into my Top 200, a beautiful groovy worship song. Great to have Manor Collective back this year! 199: Bisrat Surafel - Erefi (524pts) NE (6/7/2024) 58-55-56-62-67-67-66-43-48-52-60-72-85-99-xx The highest non Top 40 song this year, a very catchy Ethiopian track with some very smiley dancers if you get round to watching the video 198: Manor Collective - Amen (ft. Elle Limebear & Charlotte Kiwanuka) (524pts) NE (22/6/2024) 33-36-35-35-42-56-61-68-73-79-84-86-xx A lovely rendition of the Lord's Prayer here. (and yes, Charlotte Kiwanuka is Michael Kiwanuka's wife if you were wondering!) 197: Madison Ryann Ward - Amen (525pts) NE (26/10/2024) 38-35-36-43-49-58-58-60-... I can basically copy the same thing I said for the last one here, as it's another rendition of the Lord's Prayer (but this time not featuring Michael Kiwanuka's wife). It's also done over an Amen break - I've learnt what one of those is now! 196: Unspoken - Say The Word (526pts) NE (12/10/2024) 37-33-33-37-45-51-57-66-77-92-xx 195: St. Lundi - Following My Heart (527pts) NE (11/5/2024) 67-77-46-39-38-37-48-54-59-68-77-85-94-98-xx 194: Pyramid Park - Believe Ya (529pts) NE (16/12/2023) 71-56-48-38-29-28-33-50-56-72-xx Pyramid Park has another song still to come much higher up but this was a nice way to start the year off. 193: Crowder - Grave Robber (529pts) NE (6/4/2024) 66-21-16-21-29-39-54-70-78-87-xx 192: Tali - Fighter (532pts) NE (18/5/2024) 16-19-25-33-42-54-59-68-78-91-94-xx Eurovision song number 1! Nice to see Luxembourg back in the contest and with a song which had a sprinkling of late 00s Turkey to it. 191: Red Rum Club - Afternoon (534pts) NE (13/4/2024) 38-31-31-27-30-43-53-65-75-83-xx 190: Tom Speight - Stay Alive (542pts) NE (13/7/2024) 87-51-36-34-37-38-46-52-56-65-79-89-xx 189: Kingfishr - Afterglow (550pts) NE (27/7/2024) 82-74-57-41-41-39-37-39-49-60-65-82-97-100-xx 188: Lost Frequencies & David Kushner - In My Bones (551pts) NE (27/4/2024) 45-23-24-30-31-42-54-64-77-82-89-xx I wasn't sure how Kushner would sound on a dance song as his voice generally falls into the 'moody' bucket but this is quite good! 186: Declan McKenna - Honest Test (559pts) NE (17/2/2024) 40-40-40-40-40-40-40-53-62-76-88-92-xx 187: Declan McKenna - Elevator Hum (561pts) NE (9/12/2023) 83-39-44-45-43-38-42-50-53-50-65-xx Double McKenna! And that's it for him this year as his big hits appeared in last year's EOY, but there were a couple of decent songs on his album. 185: Kaiser Chiefs - Sentimental Love Songs (566pts) NE (20/4/2024) 30-35-44-58-73-84-75-64-61-58-58-62-73-84-90-xx The first of a few Kaiser Chiefs album tracks in my chart this year, this one didn't make a massive immediate impact but was able to stay the course in the long run. 184: Silvester Belt - Luktelk (573pts) NE (18/5/2024) 7-10-21-29-36-47-53-66-80-93-96-xx Eurovision again! Eurovision songs always tumble down these EOYs as they debut high and then the only place to go is down, but Luktelk was pretty catchy. 183: Annatoria - Fountain (ft. Joe L Barnes) (587pts) NE (4/5/2024) 28-18-22-27-31-42-51-66-70-79-90-xx 182: Bad Sounds - Lovers (588pts) NE (14/9/2024) 89-53-34-30-30-32-41-49-58-66-71-82-90-xx 181: Walk Off The Earth - Mom's Old Car (590pts) NE (16/11/2024) 84-38-32-27-28-... Walk Off The Earth are back! After a few years of me not really being into them, this one is really catchy and they seem to be finding themselves as a band again.
