Does anyone think that 'Ain't In LA' sounds very Zara Larsson?

I love 'We Are Young'. It might be camper than a Brighton bus queue but the vocals are good and it's uplifting. I also liked Janelle Monae too. She's so talented, as a feature artist and solo. It's a shame she didn't have further success.

I do like that Gotye song. I didn't appreciate it at the time but I do now. It sounds different to a lot of the pop music released in 2012 which is why I put it high in my countdown. Gotye and Kimbra's voices go so well together. Shame they were a one-hit wonder. I love the music video too. So creative. Does anyone else think that Gotye sounds like Sting?

Agree that 'Sweet Nothing' sounds better than 'Spectrum'. I think Florence's vocals compliment the Calvin Harris production pretty well. If anything, it elevates it.

I would put 'Gangnam Style' and 'Bom Bom' near the bottom of my countdown. Those songs irritated me so much. Remember going to my friends house party and she was playing 'Gangnam Style' and everyone did the dance, except me. I refuse to do it. 😆

Cover Drive is a band I had completely forgotten about. 'Twilight' is fun and innocent, I suppose. However, I wouldn't listen to it over and over again. 'Heatwave' by Wiley is one of those songs that everyone raved about at the time but I just didn't understand the hype. Shame he ruined his success by turning to crime.

I haven't paid attention to the charts for a long time for many of the reasons listed here. I thought I'd have a look on the Official Charts website out of curiosity and found that 'Rein Me In' by Sam Fender has been Number 1 for 17 weeks?! That's insane. It's a good song but it doesn't merit 17 weeks at the top, surely. Also, the song is like a year old.

That just about describes every pop song released in the early 2010s. Then booze got expensive, the world became more divided and the party was over. 😆 The thing about Rita Ora is that I thought she had a great personality and voice but the singles she released did not seem to reflect that. I think 'Radioactive' was her best song. Everything she did after was pretty forgettable.

If anyone else would like to take over from posting the KISS playlist on here, feel free.

It's fair to say that Maroon 5's best years were behind them. I find 'Payphone' their weakest song. It's no 'This Love' or 'Sunday Morning'.

Used to love Rickie, Melvin and Charlie at KISS. I also love them on Radio 1. I think they are a good fit for the station.

The KISS playlist is so bland and repetitive right now. Would it kill them to put more new music on like they use to? I wouldn't even mind what songs they chose. However, I notice they devote more time and effort to their bloody 'Make Me a Winner' competition. Its one of the reasons I barely listen these days.

That Chris Brown song lacks originality and depth and has aged badly. I think 'Fine China' was his best song and even that sounds like a ripoff of Michael Jackson. I've never rated him highly as an artist and lost respect for him for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna.

Not a fan of this mawkish rubbish. I would have put it last. However, it does remind me of a time when Britain was less divided. It was an eventful year with the Diamond Jubilee, Olympics and Paralympics. I also graduated from college, got my first job and went to a few house parties so 2012 is my personal highlight. It all went downhill after that.

I actually don't mind this Robbie Williams song. It's not his best. It's just a silly, fun and innocent pop song without trying too hard. I wouldn't have put this right at the bottom. I would take this over a lot of the X Factor and charity singles anyday.

The lyrics for 'Price Tag' are just as relevant today. It's a shame not many took Jessie's advice at the time.

This advert from the 2000s was freaky. It was for a phone called Siemens Xelibri which didn't sell very well.

Who remembers this car advert? So creative and delicious. They don't make ads like this now.

If I had to choose between Olly Murs and Dappy, it would be Olly every time. I get the impression Dappy thinks he's better than he actually is. 'No Regrets' is such a forgettable song. There were better songs in 2011 that deserved the number 1 spot such as 'Jar Of Hearts', 'Heaven' or 'Moves Like Jagger'.

I would have had 'Louder' by DJ Fresh in my top 5. I love this song. Such a summer anthem and I played it loads during 2011.

That Cher Lloyd song is godawful. However, she did not deserve the hatred she got back in the day.

I never rated 'Party Rock Anthem' highly because it was played so much in 2011. However, it's fun and doesn't take itself seriously. We're missing that in pop music now.

I completely forgot about 'Loca People'. Sounds very generic for something so noisy and energetic. There was quite a lot of this quirky European dance music from the early 2010's from artists like INNA, Alexandra Stan and Edward Maya and they did it better.
