You know the deal by now, 25 tracks all released either as a single or on an album in 2015 and no more than one track by any one artist ALTHOUGH I am allowing tracks by the same person under two separate guises I.E. one as a solo artist and one as part of a band. That MAY or my not be relevant..

OK so here goes the list for 2015

25. Fetty Wap - Trap Queen

24. Excision - Bring The Madness (Ft. Pegboard Nerds)

23. The Skints - This Town (Ft. Tippa Irie & Horseman)

22. Beans on Toast - I'm Home When You Hold Me

21. The Wombats - Greek Tragedy

20. The Maccabees - Something Like Happiness

19. Frankie & The Heartstrings - Think Yourself Lucky

18. Jack Ü - Where are Ü now (Ft. Justin Bieber)

17. LA Priest - OINO

16. Circa Waves - My Love

15. Many Things - Burn Together

14. RatBoy - Sign On

13. Grimes - Flesh Without Blood

12. Child Care - Omega Grey

11. Wolf Alice - Freazy

10. Laura Marling - Strange

9. Carl Barat & The Jackals - A Storm is Coming

8. Palma Violets - Danger in the Club

7. Drenge - Favourite Son

6. Peter Doherty - Flags of the Old Regime

5. Everything Everything - Regret

4. FFS - Johnny Delusional

3. Bloc Party - The Love Within

2. Frank Turner - Get Better

1. The Libertines - Gunga Din

And there you have it, surprise surprise, in a year when my favourite band released their first new material in 11 years they go straight in at number one. If I would have allowed more than one track per artist the top 10 would have made very dull reading for that very reason. Even bending the rules there are 2 Pete and 2 Carl songs in there. A good year for guitar based music on the whole this year, a lot of my previous loves came back with songs this year but there was still room for one or two newbies.

Believe me though, I am as surprised as anyone that I have a Justin Bieber amongst my favourites but it is a tune!

As with last year I will provide you lucky people with a link to the playlist;

Here!

Another year bites the dust, enjoy!
