Nightmare fuel  

 

I'm kinda shocked at George Ezra having two entries here though? I remember those songs being hits but I don't remember them being *that* big.

[makeawish]

i knew shotgun was massive, you never hear the other one anymore

 

it's really bad. i guess being a plays chart it's going to be dominated by the 10s which just reinforces my belief that they're best forgotten about more or less whole

It's #35 so not that far and honestly most of the list has songs released when the streaming era was exploding hard, it is still did its job.

I've realized how blessed we are that Ed Sheeran (and Adam levine) has disappeared from music. Thank you lord for this blessing.

[Delirious]

Not at Zara LArsson being here twice and Ava queen making an appearance 

[Into The Void]

Interesting 

[Ger]

Interesting list, pretty diverse I must say

 

SYL #2  

 

George with two songs inside the Top 10 is pretty insane, "Shotgun" was truly massive, that has aged pretty good.

 

"Iris"  

 

Mr. Brightside, THE UK national anthem 

[ithinkheknowsoutsold]

No Little Mix, no list.

[naval23]

Adele Dua Sia and Gaga being top 35 omg
