Sunset Strippers again!

Still going for Eve and Gwen!

A station that was launched just last year by two commercial radio executives who thought Radio 2's target audience was too young so they made a station with, as the name suggests, boomers as their target audience.

:lol:

I should be around if it's tonight! Correct, the UK is on GMT now.

+5 Taylor Swift feat. Lana Del Rey - Snow On The Beach +4 Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero +3 David Guetta & Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue) +2 Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me +1 Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You -1 Taylor Swift - Lavender Haze -2 OneRepublic - I Ain't Worried -3 Stormzy - Hide & Seek -4 Anne-Marie & Aitch - PSYCHO -5 Sam Smith & Kim Petras - Unholy The quality of the top 10 this week has improved a lot!

Fantastic winner again! Great that Blinding Lights won by such a big margin too :wub: Thanks for doing this Dan and ElectroBoy, enjoyed following the ROTD results and reading the commentary as ever!

Going for Sunset Strippers this time!

Eve and Gwen again One vote each has happened in consecutive rounds now :lol:

Yes, it still isn't getting played as much as Green Green Grass!

They have been playing it for the last week or so but that's about as far back as it goes.

I really enjoyed Won't Forget You and was thinking "this version with Derulo doesn't sound bad either" until it got to that drop. The drop on this version really does ruin it.

After a bit of searching on the forum I think it came from UKC+, which I had never seen beforehand as a chart enthusiast at the time who was also unaware that chart forums existed, so I only had the various contrasting OCC articles to go off. It's great to finally see the fairer EOY chart for 2014 (I never thought that one which included Jan-Jun streams had ever been published!), so thanks for directing me to that! :lol:

I didn't know that such a version of the EOY chart even existed! :lol:

Interestingly this would also have been repeated in the sales era if it had lasted until the end of 2014! Let It Go by Idina Menzel was the 10th best selling song of the year despite a peak of #11, but streaming was included in the official EOY chart which pushed it down to #13.

Think I might be the only one on the forum who doesn't like Midnight Sky :kink: Good top two though, hoping Blinding Lights can stay at the top!

How Do I Live certainly had a remarkable chart run for the time, decent song too. There has been another! In 2018, The Greatest Show by Hugh Jackman, Keala Settle, Zac Efron & Zendaya reached #18 in the EOY chart despite having a peak of #20. Thanks for doing this!

4 please!

Has to be Blue first here!

Moving to Let Me Blow Ya Mind this time!

I would be here for this! Would be an achievement for it to even get back into the final though.

:wub: Very happy that Faded did so well here! One of my favourites of the decade too, I haven't been a fan of Alan's recent material but Faded is amazing, definitely his best production and the dreamy vocals work really well with it. I wouldn't say it was generic, I thought it really stood out from other popular dance music at the time especially! Very pleased that it's ended up as the highest dance track in ROTD this year! Was hoping Somebody That I Used To Know could reach a new peak on its final year but glad it's still managed a top five finish! Surprised how all of the top four is from the last few years, hoping that The Weeknd wins with one of his two.

The Sign again

+12 Flobots – Handlebars +10 Wombats – Moving To New York +8 Paramore – Misery Business +7 Panic At The Disco – Nine In The Afternoon +6 Futureheads – The Beginning Of The Twist +5 Sugababes – Denial +4 Adele – Hometown Glory +3 Mika – Relax, Take It Easy +2 Nickelback – Gotta Be Somebody +1 Duffy – Rain On Your Parade
