1) Robbie Williams – No One likes a fat popstar
One of many songs that highlights Robbie’s genius. Witty, well-written lyrics that poke fun at the media and those fond of food, its self deprecation style is actually a little sad too. Love the merry-go-round feel of the verses and the operatic chorus. Awesome song.
2) B.o.B & Hayley Williams – Airplanes
Still an absolute tune, I really love the lyrics to this song. Hayley Williams has an incredible voice and B.o.B is a great artist.
3) U2- I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
A song that will forever be relevant to many people a little lost in life. An all time rock-classic.
4) The Magician ft Years & Years– Sunlight
A song reminiscent of early 2000’s house, this is one of the best dance tracks in years. So catchy and SO damn good.
5) Take That – These Days
They’re finally back after a three year hiatus! Take That’s new track is a rather camp, poppy, danceable track which is destined to be a hit. Love the 1980’s feel and the blend of their voices together. Awesome song.
6) Coldplay – Always in my head
A melancholic, chilled song that’s utterly beautiful.
7) John Mayer – Belief
I honestly believe this is one of the greatest songs ever written. Incredible lyrics and the last minute or so is just sheer power. Amazing.
8) Coldplay – 0 (Fly on)
A stunning end to Coldplay’s incredible ‘Ghost Stories’ album. ‘Just a flock of birds is how you think of love’ – what a line.
9) Mark Owen – Falling Star
A song featured only as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of Owen’s 2005 ‘How the mighty fall’ album. It’s a song which proves quite how underrated Mark Owen’s solo career is and this should have been on the standard edition of the album. Utterly stunning.
10) Calvin Goldspink – Grown Up
A great, great song by Calvin Goldspink who, many years ago, was a member of the S Club Juniors (or S Club 8).
