#155 Ganges feat. Mow - Ashes
Melancholic girl power.
#154 Flavien Berger - Maddy La Nuit
This is getting weird, a song that feels like water bubbles bursting in an aquarium.
#153 Annagemina - Hit Me
Droning with attitude.
#152 Márcia - Tempestade
Super-chill song from Portugal.
#151 YYYY - Carry This Blood
A haunting piece of EDM music put together with a cinematic music video.

[heppolo]

#150 Galeffi - Uffa
That music video is such a brilliant mockery of italian cable channels, I just can't.
#149 Lock - Hey Compadre
The catchiest female fronted pop-rock song in my chart so far.
#148 Riah - Prom
Here comes some pure pop from the States.
#147 Voyou - Seul sur ton tandem
Amazing crazy funny awesome video editing here.
#146 meisterjaan - Yomidaiganesmees
There is a 99% chance this is the most crazy thing you'll hear and see this whole year. A mix of folk, harp sounds with some Aphex Twin-style electronics. At your own risk!

[heppolo]

#145 Rural Zombies - Whateverest
Back to the good old sound of indie.
#144 indi - Demeter
Dreamy and baroque, a bit Bjork-ish but not as intense.
#143 Pauls Jets - Üben üben üben
A very leftfield indie with a particularly memorable vocal.
#142 Phantastic Ferniture - Dark Corner Dance Floor
Julia Jacklin is clearly a workaholic.
#141 Ivory Hours - Dreamworld
A big, big chorus and a very catchy song yet this song has less than 1k views at the moment. Underrated

[navi]

must admit that i don't remember most of the songs, although I've probably heard them before
but nothing odd because you had presented more than 5,000 songs on your chart throughout the year, and that's too much for me

#141 Ivory Hours - Dreamworld
A big, big chorus and a very catchy song yet this song has less than 1k views at the moment. Underrated

nice song,
it will unfortunately remain that way

Thank you for the feedback!
Stay tuned, pick a 3-4 random songs, hopefully you'd like something

[heppolo]

There are so many songs around that 5.000 songs is not enough, a lot of songs I kinda enjoyed yet I had to omit from charting.

i like practically everything, even the pop ones
you have the most eclectic/diverse taste of all, and yet distinctive

[heppolo]

^Thank you, it really means a lot!

#140 Theo Lawrence & The Hearts - Bad Feeling
This feels slightly garage-y, but that voice will get stuck in your head.
#139 Not a Boys Name - Hazard Perception Test
I've had enough...I don't care enough
#138 Jérémy Frerot - Revoir
I never realised he was a big name in France until I entered his song in FSC. The music video is also intriguing with the whole face reveal thing at the end.
#137 Hey Charlie - Love Machine
These girls rock!
#136 Adam French - Wanna Be Here
A beautiful singer-songwriter kind of song (the production here is fire) and a gorgeous music video with a story to tell.

[heppolo]

#135 Balthazar - Entertainment
An anthem.
#134 Shake Stew - Dancing In The Cage Of A Soul
Very hectic, very prog.
#133 Russo - Lonely
What is this, some sort of pop/rock from the States...Okay.
#132 Desperate Journalist - It Gets Better
Hopefully it might get better as we move on to the higher positions in my chart.
#131 Iiris - Wild Unknown Thing
You have to give this Estonian pop girl a chance, she has been on and off the radar for a decade already.

[heppolo]

#130 Árstíðir - While this Way
You say boring, I say relaxing
#129 Lingua Nada - Cyanide Soda
We do maths.
#128 Judy Blank - Mary Jane
A song with an attitude.
#127 andhim feat. Högni - Stay Close To Me
Landscapes of sound with a voice that sparkles like a diamond.
#126 Diane Birch - The End
One more atmospheric beauty.

[heppolo]

#125 Mees Inc. - Rahu
Synthpop/dream pop act disguised as a black metal band in this music video.
#124 Anemone - Daffodils
Dream pop/shoegazing which may remind you of early 90s Lush/Slowdive.
#123 Hatchie - Bad Guy
Another dreamy and retro-esque song in my top 200.
#122 Tawnee - Get Up
Switzerland gives up some proper indie pop.
#121 Phum Viphurit - Lover Boy
This went slightly viral thanks to youtube algorithms, 30 million views is not a joke.

[heppolo]

#120 Milk Teeth - Stain
Some female-fronted rock action for you.
#119 Lord Kesseli & the Drums - Chemical Mother
Shoegazing meets psychedelic rock meets stadium rock.
#118 Anna Calvi - Don't Beat the Girl out of My Boy
One of the bigger names in my top 200, the first phrases are eerily reminiscent of Dolores O'Riordan.
#117 Odeville - Bitte Ja Bitte Gleich
German-language punk rock.
#116 Gewalt - Limiter
Angry, very angry punk rock

[heppolo]

#115 Jinjer - Ape
Puttin' pedal to a female-fronted metal!
#114 Viagra Boys - Sports
Say hello to The Fall-ish kind of punk in 2018.
#113 Jeremy Walch - Bill
Maybe 2018 is just not the year for this kind of indie pop, but I can't do anything else but enjoy the sound.
#112 Oxford Drama - Alter Ego
A song that is not just a pastiche of the 80s new wave, but has at least some sort of a vague message.
#111 Gareth Dunlop - Can't Stand Myself
Vocal power x singer-songwriter folk stuff. You just have to believe Gareth's tale of self-doubt.

[cheapthrills]

Just posting so I see when you update

[king_oxymoron]

Your chart makes you realise just how much music there is, I've heard none of it! I am gonna check out Gareth Dunlop when I'm away from my desk.

[heppolo]

Just posting so I see when you update

oh, that's clever
anyway, thank you for stopping by

[heppolo]

Your chart makes you realise just how much music there is, I've heard none of it!.

There is so much music released in 2018 I haven't heard myself as well.

#110 BowLand - Don't Stop Me
Pure pop.
#109 Holygram - Signals
Great production value in this particular post-punk entry.
#108 Harry Parsons - Friends
In any other era, this would have been pure pop. As if Owl City had a long period of depression.
#107 Ed The Dog - Funny Turns
The dog's point of view.
#106 Cari Cari - Summer Sun
Slightly Sofi Tukker-ish bluesy indie pop.

[heppolo]

#105 The Yelins - Treasures In Disguise
Switzerland's very own garage psychedelia.
#104 Make Mama Proud - Artificial
Quiet-loud-louder.
#103 Zví?e jménem Podzim - Horizont
Slightly Radiohead-like but striking a different tune.
#102 VanWyck - Red River Girl
The voice of a woman and a simple, almost tepid instrumental.
#101 Cesare Basile - Cirasa di Jinnaru
This song explores the darkest corners of italian canzoni d'autore.

[heppolo]

#100 Soleima - Low Life
Even the pop music I like is slightly depressing.
#99 Anaal Nathrakh - Obscene as Cancer
On the verge of intensity in terms of metal music...and then the clean vocal arrives for the chorus. Good combo.
#98 Marcelina - Ta?cz
Finally some jolly bouncy song in my top. ''Ta?cz'' means ''Dance'' in Polish.
#97 Hang Massive - The Secret Kissing of the Sun and Moon
If you're not familiar with the Hang, a new-age percussion instrument, you should definitely check out this instrumental piece.
#96 Elliot Maginot - Common Place
A very ''american 80s new wave'' kind of song (sounds like it could have been on a Boy Meets Girl album back then). It even has the saxophone.

[heppolo]

#95 Prins Obi & The Dream Warriors - ???? (Vortex)
Indie rock all the way from Greece.
#94 Suki Waterhouse - Valentine
Suki is not just an actress or model, she is also a singer. This doesn't really come across as Lana Del Rey-ish, but more like Mazzy Star meets The Sundays.
#93 Peter Sandberg – Motion
Here comes another instrumental entry in my top 200. Piano is the centre of attention here, a very beautiful neo-classical piece, it's not some lounge music but a wonderful soundtrack.
#92 Garbanotas - Li?dnos akys
I consider this to be a brilliant music video.
#91 Veronica Maggio - 20 Questions
One of my all-time favourite Swedish artists released her first song in English.

[trebor]

Great presentation; its so you! (in a good way). I love it!
Shame on me for only knowing three songs out of the whole lot!
It's these lists that make me realise how limited I am (or have become as of late)

Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
I am also pretty limited, for some people that aren't aware this list may turn into one continuous dream pop, interrupted by 5-6 rockier/metal entries
