The only one I didn't like here was "Don't Call Me Angel". Mandy was such a surprise comeback! A strong countdown thus far

40. Courage My Love - Harlequin Romance PEAK: #10, 19 weeks Canadian female rock band Courage My Love have had several hits on my chart over the past few years, but it wasn't until 2019 when they hit my top 10 with this one. 39. Taylor Swift - Getaway Car PEAK: #5, 16 weeks 2019 may have been all about her "Lover" album, but this song from "Reputation" closed off that era for me; it was an initial favourite from the album and I knew it had to get on my chart, where it made my top 5. 38. Jonas Brothers - Only Human PEAK: #7, 19 weeks While it became a meme online, this song from their comeback album "Happiness Begins" caught my ear with its catchy melody and became a well-deserved top 10 on my chart. But knowing said meme, it should've been #1. 37. Backstreet Boys - Chances PEAK: #1 (2 weeks), 22 weeks After being in my top 10 of 2018 with "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", its follow-up "Chances" gave the Backstreet Boys yet another #1 on my chart; timed perfectly to commemorate my chart's 20th anniversary as they were one of the acts on the inaugural chart. 36. Emma Bunton - Baby Please Don't Stop PEAK: #5, 17 weeks Another artist with many years of charting is Emma Bunton! Both as part of the Spice Girls and as a solo artist, she's appeared throughout my history, and this brought her back to my top 10. 35. Sum 41 - Never There PEAK: #6, 19 weeks These guys normally do upbeat punk rock, but to my surprise, this turned out to be a soft ballad! It was a style that worked well for them on this song, also giving them a much-anticipated return to my top 10. 34. Zedd & Katy Perry - 365 PEAK: #1 (1 week), 16 weeks While Katy Perry's been rather inconsistent over the past few years, she's had her bright moments still. This one, teaming up with Zedd, a DJ who knows how to rope in the popular female vocalists, was yet another #1 from her. 33. Westlife - Hello My Love PEAK: #3, 16 weeks Hands up - who expected Westlife to make such a huge comeback for me? Not me - indeed, this may have become my favourite from them - ever! Definitely a worthy comeback, the nostalgia for their brand of pop music was very strong! 32. Tegan & Sara - I'll Be Back Someday PEAK: #5, 17 weeks The duo of sisters Tegan and Sara Quin have been around for a long time, and this decade saw their career rise to new heights, as they hit my top spot in 2016 with "Boyfriend". This lead single from their latest album was yet another top 5 for me. 31. Jimmy Eat World - All The Way (Stay) PEAK: #2, 13 weeks Another band who had a long-awaited return to form here is Jimmy Eat World! "All The Way (Stay)" became their first top 10 hit in 17 years for me... and indeed, it rose all the way to the runner-up spot on my chart.

30. Post Malone - Circles PEAK: #6, 17 weeks Up until this song was released, I'd hated everything Post Malone had released given it was mumble rap. This one, however, shocked me as to how much I enjoyed it, being a departure from his usual style! 29. Austin Mahone - Why Don't We PEAK: #7, 19 weeks A new jack swing throwback here, I didn't expect Austin Mahone to go retro, but it worked very well for him! 28. Alec Benjamin - Let Me Down Slowly PEAK: #3, 23 weeks One of my top newcomers of 2019, Alec Benjamin made a big splash with this one, which was in my top 5 for the bulk of the early part of 2019. 27. Teenage Wrist - Mary PEAK: #7, 20 weeks This is one of my ultimate word of mouth hits, given it got no mainstream attention, but after the buzz had built about Teenage Wrist, this song, which became a favourite on several other personal charts, I really caught on to this one, and it reached my top 10 over the summer. 26. Carly Rae Jepsen - Too Much PEAK: #6, 21 weeks The third of four Carly Rae Jepsen songs here, this one, along with its parent album "Dedicated" was another top 10 smash for me, further extending her hit streak. 25. Harry Styles - Lights Up PEAK: #1 (3 weeks), 11 weeks I knew Harry Styles wouldn't disappoint me, given he's always been my favourite One Direction member. And when it came time for him to release his second solo album, I was really anticipating it, and I feel it's an excellent album that'll help him avoid the sophomore slump. This lead single was an instant hit for me, debuting at #1 and spending three weeks there, and is still currently top 10. 24. Katy Perry - Immortal Flame PEAK: #1 (1 week), 19 weeks "Final Fantasy: Brave Exivus" the video game gave us this song, which was a #1 for me early in the year and proving Katy Perry can still do some good songs; a song like this would definitely fit such a game well. 23. Katy Perry - Never Really Over PEAK: #1 (1 week), 16 weeks And here's the highest entry for Katy Perry! While usually she manages a year-end top 10 every time she releases, this time she falls short and misses my top 20, but with a showing this high still, it proves she is "never really over". 22. Shakespear's Sister - All The Queen's Horses PEAK: #3, 21 weeks It had been 27 years since the two members of Shakespear's Sister had recorded together as a duo, so it was a welcome and overdue reunion here! Their comeback single made my top 5, peaking at #3 and becoming one of the big comeback stories of 2019. 21. Kelly Clarkson - Broken & Beautiful PEAK: #1 (1 week), 18 weeks And here's another big name crashing out for the year! Kelly Clarkson, while one of my biggest core artists ever, started her talk show this year and has been mostly quiet on the music front, but she still delivered this catchy tune to the "UglyDolls" soundtrack.

20. Collective Soul - Right As Rain PEAK: #5, 21 weeks Ever since their peak popularity in the 90's, I've always enjoyed Collective Soul's music, and they've had a steady presence on my chart during its entire existence. This single from their latest album turned out to be another winner for them, reaching my top 5. 19. Carly Rae Jepsen - Now That I Found You PEAK: #1 (2 weeks), 18 weeks Highest entry for Carly Rae Jepsen here, definitely one of the standouts from "Dedicated". Unsurprisingly, it was another #1, and the video with her and the cats was adorable too! 18. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Teeth PEAK: #1 (1 week), 19 weeks A little edgier than usual sound from 5 Seconds Of Summer here, I felt this one had some "teeth" to it. It ended up taking a big leap into the #1 spot and became their first ever #1 on my chart, rivalling "Amnesia" and "Youngblood" for my favourite from them overall. 17. Louis Tomlinson - Kill My Mind PEAK: #1 (1 week), 17 weeks I feel 2019 is the year that One Direction's soloist Louis Tomlinson finally found the sound he's most comfortable with. Ultimately, I've latched on, with three top 20 hits so far from his debut album "Walls". This Oasis-esque tune became my favourite from him so far, reaching #1 and being the highest from any One Direction member here. 16. Laura Marano - Let Me Cry PEAK: #4, 22 weeks I first knew of Laura Marano from her fun 2016 hit "Boombox", which was in my top 10 songs that year. She surprised me with this emotional ballad "Let Me Cry" as well, showing her diversity and becoming a top 5 hit. 15. Rob Thomas - Can't Help Me Now PEAK: #1 (3 weeks), 19 weeks Rob Thomas came back in 2019 with the "Chip Tooth Smile" album, and it seems all is right with him as he got two #1's on my chart this year, right on form. This was the second of them; the first is up in the top 10, but how high? 14. BBMak - Bullet Train PEAK: #1 (1 week), 23 weeks After hearing the news that BBMak had reunited in 2019, I was excited to hear new music from them. Sure enough, "Bullet Train" had the sound that I knew and loved best from them, and this was a quick hit for me, reaching #1 for a week and having longevity in the top 100. Definitely a warm welcome back! 13. Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You PEAK: #1 (2 weeks), 19 weeks Shawn Mendes continued his hit streak in 2019 with this single - building upon his previous years' hits and being catchy with substance, he unsurprisingly sailed straight to #1 with this, his only appearance in the top 100 - unless you count the remix of a song still to come! 12. The Cranberries - All Over Now PEAK: #1 (1 week), 19 weeks 2019 was the year that the final album by the Cranberries, "In The End" was released. While it was bittersweet following Dolores O'Riordan's death, this lead single had their trademark sound all over it and was an instant hit for me, becoming a #1 for a week. However, she did upstage her own song - how high for "Wake Me When It's Over"? 11. Taylor Swift - Lover PEAK: #1 (2 weeks), 19 weeks Taylor Swift has always been successful on my chart, but in 2019 her career hit new highs for me - indeed, this is the highest she has appeared on a year-end chart of mine to date! This prom-ready ballad - both in its original version and remix featuring Shawn Mendes - was another favourite of mine, becoming her third #1 from this album. The other two #1's are in the top 10 - which is uncharted territory for Taylor on my year-ends!

I can't believe you have a different Austin track to the ones I do in my year-end Shakespear's Sister was a surprise! Charted for me, but missed my year-end, but all the way in the Top 30 for you Post's last few releases have been listenable for me, but to start with, ergh. "Circles" is def my fav. Love love Alec's style of music. Carly, 5SOS, Louie, Shawn and Taylor Looking forward to your Top 10!

10. Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars - Blow PEAK: #1 (3 weeks), 21 weeks When I first saw the tracklisting for Ed Sheeran's new album, this was the song I was most intrigued about, as all three artists have vastly differing styles. Little did I know that it would turn out to be... a hard rock song? Sure enough, this lived up to my expectations... and then some! It was a quick #1 for me where it stayed for three weeks and became my favourite from Ed Sheeran and Chris Stapleton, but not quite for Bruno Mars. Still, the highest for all three this year. 9. Taylor Swift feat. Brendon Urie - ME! PEAK: #1 (2 weeks), 21 weeks Hey kids! Spelling is fun! This was a fun lead single for the "Lover" album that I always enjoyed and never got sick of, and the presence of Brendon Urie really made it fit both artists' styles. Still one more from Taylor to come! 8. Rob Thomas - One Less Day (Dying Young) PEAK: #1 (2 weeks), 19 weeks I've been a fan of Rob Thomas since the early Matchbox Twenty days, so naturally I was anticipating new music from him. Sure enough, this lead single did not disappoint at all, and brought him back to #1 for the first time in 7 years. It's a well-deserved return to my year-end top 10! 7. Kygo feat. Whitney Houston - Higher Love PEAK: #1 (1 week), 26 weeks Whitney Houston had one of the greatest voices in music, and her death in 2012 was a huge loss to the music world. The Norwegian DJ Kygo took the vocals from a rare cover of Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" that Whitney had done back in her prime, and reworked it for 2019... and it turned out to be a respectful remix that became a #1 hit on my chart! 6. Jonas Brothers - Sucker PEAK: #1 (1 week), 28 weeks I've liked a fair bit of Jonas Brothers music, as well as their solo projects... and I was hoping their reunion would deliver more good stuff. I certainly didn't expect anything THIS good! Not only was the quality there, but the fact that they managed to do a pure pop song and have it do as well in the mainstream as it did showed that a good song surely has no age, and this could've been a hit in any era. Definitely a well-earned comeback for these boys!
