Welcome to my 2019 Year-End chart!
What a great year of music it was. These were my favourite 100 songs.
100 - Duncan Lawrence - "Arcade" (12 weeks, Peak #20)
The winner of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, this song holds on to just sneak into my Top 100!
99 - Kaylee Bell - "Keith" (13 weeks, Peak #19)
A wonderful tribute from a New Zealand artist to an Aussie country icon.
98 - The All American Rejects - "Send Her To Heaven" (17 weeks, Peak #20)
A couple of silly lyrics, but another catchy one from this catchy pop-rock band.
97 - Incubus - "Into The Summer" (15 weeks, Peak #19)
A surprise hit for me for this band, who have only charted once before for me 20 years ago!
96 - Rob Thomas - "One Less Day (Dying Young)" (11 weeks, Peak #10)
Another catchy track from the former Matchbox 20 frontman, released earlier in the year.
95 - Maren Morris feat. Brandi Carlile - "Common" (14 weeks, Peak #10)
A great collab from these two.
94 - Shura - "BKLYNLDN" (12 weeks, Peak #18)
A British artist who has charted well for me these past few years, this was another catchy one for me.
93 - Seaside - "Habits" (18 weeks, Peak #17)
Another surprise Top 20 hit for me this year, from this Aussie group.
92 - Kelly Clarkson - "Broken And Beautiful" (13 weeks, Peak #17)
The voice that just won't quit keeps popping out hits like this.
91 - Lacy Cavalier - "Blue Suede Couch" (12 weeks, Peak #18)
The second single to chart for me from this artist.
90 - Lizzo - "Truth Hurts" (12 weeks, Peak #13)
An awesome artist that radio took too long to pick up on, this reflected in my chart.
89 - Renee Blair - "Me Tonight" (18 weeks, peak #17)
A first-time charter for me, I enjoyed this one, going Top 20.
88 - Niall Horan - "Nice To Meet Ya" (7 weeks*, peak #14)
More catchy singles from the most entertaining ex 1D member.
87 - Lizzo "Juice" (16 weeks, Peak #17)
More catchy "juice" from Lizzo.

83 - Jonas Brothers - "Only Human" (15 weeks, peak #16)
The J-bro's still have it!
82 - Gina Jeffreys - "Cash" (12 weeks, Peak #19)
The tributes to male country artists were flowing thick and fast this year, plus I was so excited to see Gina back.)
81 - CXLOE - "Low Blow" (12 weeks, Peak #19)
A catchy one from CXLOE.
80 - Vanessa Amorosi - "Heavy Lies The Head" (9 weeks, Peak #15)
A comeback single from one of my fav Aussie artists.
79 - Rammstein - "Deutschland" (8 weeks, Peak #11)
It's rare for metal artists to go Top 20 for me, but Rammstein have managed it a few times.
78 - Chvrches - "Clearest Blue" (16 weeks, Peak #13)
I'm still unsure how to pronunce their artist-name, but they make good music!
77 - Trisha Yearwood - "Every Girl In This Town" (20 weeks, peak #15)
20 weeks in my Top 100 and a brilliant track from Trisha.
76 - Ava Max - "Torn" (9 weeks, peak #14)

75 - Louis Tomlinson - "Two Of Us" (14 Weeks, Peak #11)
What a lovely song this was! Peaked just outside my Top 10. This is the second ex-1D member to appear so far (of three), and the first of two entries from Louie in my Year-End!
74 - Will Young - "All The Songs" (18 Weeks, Peak #14)
Another catchy track from Will, who has had quite a few hits for me over the past decade. This was no exception.
73 - Jack & Jack - "Daydreaming" (21 Weeks, Peak #14)
Spending 21 weeks in my Top 100, I couldn't get enough of this track for quite a few months. This is Jack & Jack's second-most popular track for me, after their Top 3 hit "Beg" in 2017.)
72 - Tania Doko - "Piece Of Me" (5 Weeks, Peak #8)
Only 5 weeks in my Top 100, but it went Top 10 after I saw her perform this live at the "Australia Decides" contest to decide who goes to Eurovision. There's three other artists from this to appear, including our representative.
71 - Why Don't We - "Unbelievable" (18 Weeks, Peak #12)
Another catchy one from one of the newest boyband crazes.
70 - Grace Carter - "Heal Me" (16 Weeks, Peak #10)
An early-year release, the souring vocals from Grace got to me enough to go Top 10!
69 - Madonna feat. Swae Lee - "Crave" (7 Weeks, Peak #10)
Whilst I didn't care for most of the "Madame X" album, this was one single that did grab my attention.
68 - Louis Tomlinson - "Kill My Mind" (11 Weeks*, Peak #8)
And here's Louis' highest entry in my year-end! This was a very catchy one for me from him and peaked all the way up at #8, making it his biggest hit on my chart so far. There is only one ex-1D'er left, and Niall has already appeared, so who is it?
67 - LANY feat. Julia Michaels - "Okay" (15 Weeks, Peak #10)
A band I've liked so much that I've now seen them live twice teamed up with Julia for this lovely, positive track, going Top 10.
66 - Hey Violet - "Queen Of The Night" (16 Weeks, Peak #9)
Another band that have had success for me the past few years, this song became my second-favourite from them, after their Top 3 hit, "Hoodie" in 2017. This track also went Top 5 for me on my country chart.
65 - Maren Morris - "The Bones" (13 Weeks, Peak #9)
I love lyrically clever tracks like this and I just loved Maren's voice, both on the CD and live. This went Top 10, and is the second appearance for Maren, but she's not done yet!
64 - Thelma Plum - "Better In Blakk/Better In Black" (15 Weeks, Peak #11)
An ARIA-nominated single that spent 8 weeks within my Top 20! Thelma's had quite a bit of success so far for me, having had two previous single's go Top-3.
63 - Cheat Codes & Kim Petras - "Feeling Of Falling" (12 Weeks, Peak #7)
I didn't think Kim could match the massive hit "Heart To Break" for me from last year, but she teamed up with Cheat Codes and I found myself really enjoying this one too! Peaking all the way up at #7.
62 - Electric Fields - "2000 And Whatever" (4 Weeks, Peak #5)
Another quick-faller from my chart, again you can tell it was an "Australia Decides" track which I saw performed live. It was my third-favourite from all the contestants and was my 5th fav song at one point!
61 - James TW - "You And Me" (17 Weeks, Peak #8)
I've been a big James TW fan for a while now. This is his first of two tracks to appear in my year-end chart for this year, and was a roll-over from 2018.
60 - Natasha Bedingfield - "Roller Skate" (10 Weeks, Peak #9)
A surprise hit for me about half-way through the year, it was nice to hear from Natasha again.
59 - Meghan Trainor - "All The Ways" (14 Weeks, Peak #7)
Another catchy track from Meghan, who has certainly proved she isn't a one-hit wonder, releasing catchy track after catchy track.
58 - Luca Hanni - "She Got Me" (17 Weeks, Peak #9)
Switzerland's entry in this year's "Eurovision Song Contest", this was one of my favourites (and he is totally adorable!), but there are still five Eurovision tracks to appear
57 - Illenium feat. Bahari - "Crashing" (16 Weeks, Peak #5)
A track that I could not get enough of, this ended up going Top 5! The first time I'd heard of either of these artists, they sure made my ears prick up and made a big crash
56 - 5 Seconds Of Summer - "Teeth" (11 Weeks, Peak #3)
The 5SOS boys are no strangers to year-end appearances for me. This is their first of two this year. Trivia - I only went and saw One Direction live a few years ago so that I could see these guys as the support act Worth it.
55 - Katy Perry - "Small Talk" (15 Weeks, Peak #5)
Another lyrically-clever single from Katy, I was surprised more people other than me didn't like it as much. I was loving it, going Top 5 and spending almost 4 months on my chart.
54 - Courtney Act - "Fight For Love" (5 Weeks, Peak #6)
Yup, you guessed it - another "Eurovision: Australia Decides" track. This was the third-favourite in the popular-vote, and had it won, probably would have done pretty well in Eurovision.
53 - Andy Grammar - "Don't Give Up On Me" (18 Weeks, Peak #6)
Yet another catchy single from Andy for me, this stuck around for a massive 18 weeks, peaking just outside my Top 5.
52 - KEiiNO - "Spirit In The Sky" (13 Weeks, Peak #7)
This was one of my favourite Eurovision songs, I was just loving it!
51 - Tim Hicks - "What A Song Should Do" (20 Weeks, Peak #5)
20 massive weeks and a Top 5 hit for me, this was a song about a song! Just brilliant, and my 11th-favourite country song of 2019.

Here are the my biggest 50 songs of 2019
50 Tove Lo - "Hey, You Got Drugs?" (11 weeks, Peak #6)
My highest Swedish entry bows out at #50 this year, and what a surprise that it goes to Tove Lo! She is no stranger to singing about her sex life, and I think she might have been trying to tell me about another area of her life via this one also.
49 Leea Nanos - "Set Me Free" (8 weeks, Peak #4)
There is now only one "Aussievision" track left to go since Leea takes out the #49 spot. In a competition full of famous Aussie artists, this girl submitted her own song and made it all the way to the top 10, holding her own. It was also my second-favourite track of the night.
48 Thelma Plum - "Not Angry Anymore" (21 weeks, Peak #3)
Thelma appeared at #64 with her ARIA-nominated track, but does one better in the top 50 for me, and her highest track, with this one. And it showed, spending a big 21 weeks in my Top 100.
47 Client Liaison - "The Real Thing" (10 weeks, Peak #5)
These guys made an appearance in my 2017 Year-End chart at #54 with a little help from Tina Arena, and this year they have bettered that with a Year-end Top 50 hit!
46 Taylor Swift feat. Brandon Urie - "Me!" (13 weeks, Peak #4)
A peak at #4 for me for Taylor gives her her highest entry in 2019's Year-End countdown.
45 Meghan Trainor - "After You" (15 weeks, Peak #3)
Oh this song was just beautiful! Megan also appeared at #59 with "All The Ways" and gets her highest entry with this one!
44 Iggy Azalea - "Sally Walker" (19 weeks, Peak #4)
Well this ended up being a surprise hit for me, even going Top 5! And this isn't Iggy's highest entry yet either.
43 Blanco Brown - "The Git Up" (6 weeks, Peak #4)
It debuted high, stayed high and bombed fast! Look, you either loved it or hated it, and I digged it.
42 Kim Petras - "Blow It All" (13 weeks, Peak #4)
And here I say goodbye to my last remaining German entrant in my Year-End countdown - it goes to Kim Petras with this catchy track! Last year she took out my #3 Year-End with "Heart To Break", but she still gets a Top 50'er this time.
41 Mark Ronson feat. Miley Cyrus - "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" (13 weeks, Peak #2)
What a surprise collab this was! Very unexpected and it totally worked, peaking all the way at #2 for me.
40 Zayn - "There You Are" (32 weeks, Peak #3)
Yep, you read that correctly - 32 weeks in my Top 100, I couldn't get enough of this track from Zayn, who claims my highest entry from an ex 1D'er.
39 Mabel - "Don't Call Me Up" (17 weeks, Peak #3)
She's actually had a few hits in the Motherland, but this ended up being her first hit here in Australia! And a Top 3 hit for me too.
38 Maren Morris - "A Song For Everything" (10 weeks, Peak #4)
I've noticed I tend to love songs that are about songs, and this was no exception. Maren appeared at #95 with "Common" AND at #65 with "The Bones", making this her highest entry and the first artist with THREE entries in my Year-End chart.
37 Cub Sport - "Party Pill" (10 weeks, Peak #3)
A hometown love story, these guys are just cute as, and this love song ended up being a top 3 hit for me.
36 Carrie Underwood - "Southbound" (24 weeks, Peak #5)
And here's Carrie, back with yet another smashing country hit that only she knows how! I couldn't get enough of this one and it stuck around for nearly half of the year!
35 Austin Mahone - "Anxious" (16 weeks, Peak #3)
I've enjoyed the different directions that Austin has been taking with this music, and this isn't his only entry in my top 50!
34 Sophia Scott - "She Ain't Me" (15 weeks, Peak #1)
My lowest year-end position that was a chart-topper for me comes from Sophia Scott with this stunning track. She certainly ain't you, Sophia!
33 Mariah Carey - "A No No" (29 weeks, Peak #3)
Another awesome diss-track from the queen of sass herself, I was loving this one from Mimi. It's her highest track this year
32 Missy Elliott - "Throw It Back" (12 weeks, Peak #1)
Another chart-topper from me that stuck around for three months, I was enjoying this one from Missy who the youngin's didn't even know when she appeared on the MTV Music Awards.
31 Dido - "Hurricanes" (25 weeks, Peak #3)
What a beautiful, stunner of a track this was from Dido! Completely blew my mind, half a year in my Top 100, and giving her another top 5 hit for me.
30 Secondhand Serenade - "Find Somebody Else" (20 weeks, Peak #5)
Secondhand Serenade have only ever charted once before for me with a peak of #75, so they certainly changed that around with the release of this one, so much so that they score a Top 30 Year-End hit!
29 Cassadee Pope - "One More Red Light" (52 weeks, Peak #3)
Well this is surprise. Guess who took out the #29th position on my 2018 Year-End chart? Yep, this singer, this song. Here it is again in the exact same position! Goes to show how much I loved it.
28 Austin Mahone - "Dancing With Nobody" (18 weeks, Peak #3)
He last appeared on one of my year-end charts in 2017 at #92, so he's certainly made an impact in 2019 with two songs hitting my top-50 here! This is his highest entry.
27 Greyson Chance - "Yours" (18 Weeks, Peak #2)
Another song that I couldn't get enough of, like a song I had to listen through each and every time it came on and listen to every word. It's Greyson's first appearance in one of my year-end charts, and to pack a punch more, it's not his only one!
26 Mandy Moore - "When I Wasn't Watching" (11 Weeks, Peak #1 (2 weeks)
Mandy's always been my girl. When everyone else was loving the Xtina's and the Britney's, I was a Mandy boy. So to occasionally have her still release music every now and then really makes me smile, and this was no exception, spending two weeks at my #1 position.
Coming up soon... my Top 25 songs of 2019!
Updated trivia...
Female artists - 15
Male artists - 10
Australia - 8 USA - 7
Great Britain - 3 Canada - 3 Ireland - 1 Norway - 1 China - 1 Netherlands - 1

25James TW - "Incredible" (16 weeks, Peak #1) Another song that I could not get enough of this year, James TW did it again!24Ellie Goulding - "Sixteen" (17 weeks, Peak #5) Ellie is pretty consistent with the singles! She takes out the silver medal for the British artists this year.23Amy Shark - "Mess Her Up" (24 weeks, Peak #3) Another great song from local(ish) girl Amy!22Tenille Arts - "I Hate This" (22 weeks, Peak #3) I certainly wasn't hating this from Tenille. Her first big hit for me.21Guy Sebastian - "Choir" (23 weeks, Peak #1) It seems like the ARIA's agreed with me when this was announced as song of the year, although personally, I had 20 better 20Carly Rae Jepsen - "Too Much" (22 weeks, Peak #3) Another great, catchy track from Carly! She previously took out one of my Year-End charts with "Cut To The Feeling". Can she do it again with one song to go? 19Westlife - "Better Man" (17 weeks, Peak #1) Who guessed that Westlife would be back with a single as GOOD as this? The highest of the Irish artists on this year's chart finale.18Katy Perry - "Never Really Over" (14 weeks, Peak #2) Another consistent hit-machine for me, this is Katy's highest entry! She also appeared at #55 with "Small Talk".17Iggy Azalea - "Started" (14 weeks, Peak #2) And here is Iggy's second appearance! She also appeared at #44 with "Sally Walker", but she isn't done yet!16MIKA - "Ice Cream" (15 weeks, Peak #2) Well he very recently held a month-long #1 for me (his first) but before that, he had this one which came jussst shy of the top, but still strong enough to take out #16 here! MIKA is also my highest "British" artist for 2019.15Kygo feat. Whitney Houston - "Higher Love" (8 weeks, Peak #1) Only on my chart for 2 months, this track was seriously impressive and a nod to the late Whitney Houston. Kygo is the last of the Norwegian artists to appear. It debuted high and stayed high, giving it it's "high"er position here.
14Kate Miller-Heidke - "Zero Gravity" (18 weeks, Peak #1) This song always had an upper-hand for me. Local songstress who I love, Aussievision/Eurovision entrant, and all the elements of a track I love. This is Kate's highest entry on a year-end since "The Last Day On Earth".
13 Ava Max - "Sweet But Psycho" (42 weeks, Peak #1)
Umm, yep. 42 weeks. A song to get over 40 weeks on my chart is seriously impressive, a tie-over from last year that just kept holding on. Ava still has a track to go too!125 Seconds Of Summer - Easier (15 weeks, Peak #2) Pretty rare for the 5SOS boys to be held from the top spot, but that didn't matter. This was another amazing track from them, and is their highest entry, after also appearing at #56 with "Teeth".11Greyson Chance - "Shut Up" (22 weeks, Peak #3) Man, I was impressed with Greyson's release's this year, so much so that he almosted gained a year-end top 10! He also appeared at #27 with "Yours".And now I'm down to the wire! My top 10 will be revealed very shortly! Updated trivia - Top 10 Female artists - 7 Male artists - 3 American artists - 5 Australian artists - 2 Canadian artists - 1 Netherlands artists - 1 Chinese artists - 1
