IRIS! Stick that in your 16th place and smoke it x (yes I’m aware this is probably just 3 personal charts and I’m one of them xx)

Today I learnt 21 Savage is British!

Got a feeling this is gonna be a hot mess but why not!

It always amazes me how well Anywhere does. It has aged wonderfully but still feels mildly rogue somehow. Actually really surprised Espresso is top 2 aswell! Loooove Sabrina but all of her other songs missing top 100 made me assume she wasn’t a huge fave here yet. Whichever song wins will make a great winner but I’m rooting for No Tears Left To Cry by a hair. Physical ❤️ still my favourite song of the decade (though Midnight Sun is probably running that close now) and I’ll never be mad to see it win, but it’s always nice to see new winners so #3 seems fair. Flawless pop song though, no faults.

Yes. It says "gay".

Taylor, Demi and Jade quite easily for me. I do like really Dopamine but I have got over it quite quickly in all its Robyn on autopilot-ness.

You can't be scammed by presence and an IT factor, it's either there or it's not - the public aren't endorsing in a scam for 5 decades, they quite simply don't have the time for that. It's the reason the likes of Ava Max, Meghan Trainor etc have faded away after a short burst of momentum because they don't quite possess that factor. The reality is, what makes someone a star to the wider world isn't what is written in their songwriting credits because I highly doubt 99.9% of people know who writes what. A musician can be many different things - they CAN be a songwriter, they CAN be a superb singer, they CAN be a superb dancer. There's no pre-written formula for what makes someone a star but it's undeniable that Kylie Minogue has that and it's not something you can be scammed into feeling. An artist makes you feel something doing whatever they want with their skill or their gift and the fact that Kylie Minogue has managed to maintain such a huge following after almost 40 years of releasing music is an obvious testament to the fact that she makes people feel something. When I saw her live this year, we were seated but stood up the whole time and left the show in the best mood - she exemplifies joy and that feeling of "oh, I just want to dance and forget about everything", she's like if glitter was a person. If a performer of somebody elses writing has the ability to make others FEEL, then she's doing the right job. It's the same for models - you can't say a model isn't talented because somebody designed the clothes that they're wearing down the catwalk. Their job is to sell you the garment and make you believe that what they're wearing is something that you need on your own body. Kylie Minogue is the model in this instance - what she did in the studio is none of my business but does her voice/her delivery/her performance of the songs make me want to indulge in it? Absolutely. Art isn't to be policed by creating parameters of what should and shouldn't make someone a star. Enjoy your art your way and let other people enjoy it theirs.

Cha Cha Cha continuing to outrun Tattoo sorta surprises me, but then the former is definitely the sort of thing more likely to galvanize big points from those who love it, whereas pop fans have more to choose from than Tattoo. Still, a climb for Loreen is fabulous to see.

Lush Life nearly coming to crash your Christmas top 40 and threatening to crash your top 10 January party!!!! 🥳

I have to say that is a SUPERB top 20.

And Cher! Don’t forget Cher!

A richly deserved 10 year run in the top 100 for King. That first album really has aged magnificently and that song in particular remains a really joyous anthem.

Most streamed BJSC songs ever seem to be (up to the top 500): #20: Vance Joy - Riptide (Kluminican Republic) #25: Hozier - Take Me To Church (FSR Rontvia) #101: Adele - Someone Like You (Hendinia) #143: Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (Batidas) #163: Imagine Dragons - Radioactive (Launica) #168: Walk The Moon - Shut Up And Dance (FSR Rontvia) #228: Miley Cyrus - Party In The USA (Scherzland) #229: Eminem & Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie (Quotosibb) #299: Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe (Ramrynia) #310: Milky Chance - Stolen Dance (Ben’s Sanctuary) #359: Capital Cities - Safe And Sound (Letland) #363: Evanescance - Bring Me To Life (United States of Ibiza) #387: Kesha - Tik Tok (Mdice) #440: Lady Gaga - Just Dance (MKL) #467: Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (United States of Ibiza) I’m sure Brer will notice I’ve missed something. Bit obsessed with United States of Ibiza’s approach of just entering some of the most well known songs of all time x

Jayrusalem comeback for 181 confirmed!
