Matt Simons is another artist I haven't heard much from in a long time! Easy is a nice song giving a listen now, very cheery but with a bit of quirkiness as well. And nice to see Without You here as well, that's one I did chart this year :magic:

Giving Carry On a quick listen now, it's sounding pretty nice - a fairly standard song for its genre but I'm nodding my head along to it which is generally a good sign! And the vocals are great as well.

Just giving Take a Trip a listen now and it's sounding quite nice! Has quite a relaxed vibe to it, could easily be on one of those compilation CDs from the early 2010s. Thanks for posting Jade, it's been interesting following along!

We made it! Beautiful Things is a great song (as I'm sure I've already said) so great to see that top your EOY list. And nice to see Unforgettable so high up, actually sounded fairly decent in Eurovision. Thanks for posting Joseph, I've enjoyed following along and discovering some new music along the way!

I'll try my best to remember to enter this!

The Top 4 look fairly clear of the rest in League 1 at the moment - 6 points between Huddersfield in fourth and Barnsley in fifth (plus Huddersfield have a game in hand). Only a few point between each of the Top 4 and the team above them though!

Yeah definitely ups and downs of the new format - the benefit is that it gives more teams more games but then there's a lot less chance of the group stage 'shock' and big teams going out. Of course I'd re-do the whole thing so that only actual champions get to take part, but that's a whole other story...

He has always been an interesting character, but yeah no-one wants to see someone have to pull out of a competition so do feel for him.

I hadn't paid much attention to these guys before now, but the featured artist being Reverend and the Makers (who I haven't heard in years!) being the featured artist intrigued me. It took a few listens, but I love this one now. AND I WAS DRIVING ON THE NORTHBOUND ROAD... Top 100 Chart History The Lottery Winners 2024 03 You Again (ft.

Great to see End Of Beginning so high up here! As you know it's one of my favourite mainstream songs this year, great to see something so alternative do so well.

I'd missed Wanted It To Be You at the time - it's an interesting song, the lyrics clearly point to a sad point in a relationship but the music is a lot more upbeat!

Mia Brookes looks to be doing brilliantly in freestyle snowboarding! Maybe our next Olympic medal contender?

Glad you're a fan of The Tower - agree with the comments around the voice, it is indeed an interesting one! Thanks Jim ^_^ I thought he might be an artist you'd like! I'll try and remember to give 'eighteen' a listen. Thanks Joseph!

A really upbeat song, talking about light in the darkness and chaos. Continuing Ripp's impressive Top 10 run!

The chorus is a beautiful statement of love being putting someone's heart above yours. This is the second-highest Coronas song in the countdown - where will the highest one land?

This was my favourite song after first listen, but trying to be clever and thinking that I always favour the songs nearer the top of my ranking on the second listen, I moved it down to fourth on final listen. That comes back to bite me as it's definitely the most memorable song from that final now :lol: A slow rock song that builds as the song goes on, some really interesting lyrics as well.

The answer may well be These Days, as this is the fifth song with that title to grace my chart! (Marsicans, Rudimental, Wallows and Highly Suspect are the other four, the first three of those also being Top 10s!) This is the first of three songs in my EOY for the former Walking On Cars frontman, an instrument-rich song focussing on a difficult time.

Just re-familiarising myself with Find A Way - I must have pointed it as it appeared in my Personal Chart! - it is a good song, quite different from the usual dance fare and manages to convey quite a lot of emotion with only a few lyrics.

Giving Panoramic View a listen after reading your description - I'm not sure I'd have recognised it as AWOLNATION either! It is a nice song, clearly showing a lot of affection to whoever the song's about.

Giving Darkest Hour a listen now, musically it's a good song and I like the lyrics around having someone around to help her when she's struggling. It does sound like it would have been a good single!

Giving 'Fast Forward' a quick listen now (not all 8 minutes of it though!), it's sounding quite nice, lots of different instruments in there and a lot of mood changes throughout the song it seems!

Forget About Us was the best of the Little Mix solo songs in my books so nice to see that appear here! Giving Blue a listen now, that's sounding quite nice, two very different voices but they go together quite well.
