20 The Shires - Echo (April)
My pick from their most recent album this is country-pop at its best.
19 Girli - Mr 10pm Bedtime (January)
A really catchy pop song with attitude, like a contemporary Pink.
18 The Tailormade - Spinning Around (May)
Taken from a very strong EP this is an incredibly catchy song from a really promising band.
17 Bebe Rexha - I'm a Mess (July)
Her best song yet, a memorable and personal anthem.
16 Ava Max - Sweet but Psycho (August)
Similar to Bebe Rexha, this is a catchy and quirky pop hit.
15 Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato - Solo (May)
A massive global hit, this was one of the better songs from Clean Bandit this year.
14 Cam - Diane (February)
Reportedly 'Jolene' from the other angle, this is a brilliant country crossover hit.
13 The Herron Brothers - Stuck in the Sun (June)
One of the best songs off a great album this is a fun, catchy, summer hit.
12 Matt Simons - We Can Do Better (April)
A well written and performed pop hit with a fun story.
11 The Struts feat. Kesha - Body Talks (August)
Glam is back with this rock-pop crossover.
10 Fjokra - Evening Lights (March)
A band that keep releasing great singles this was an early highlight of 2018.
09 George Ezra - Shotgun (June)
Arguably this year's big summer anthem, radio-friendly pop at its best.
08 Hannah Jane Lewis - Aftershock (February)
One of the earliest big hitters of the year, Lewis really hits the emotion in this song.
07 Frank Turner - Make America Great Again (April)
There's always a big political record each year and this was it, a rebuttal to everything wrong about American politics. Maybe Turner should tackle brexit next?
06 Embrace feat. Kerri Watt - Never (January)
A beautiful duet that really hammers the strong lyrics home.
05 Electric Six - Daddy's Boy (September)
A return to the poppier-rock sound of E6 produced this incredibly catchy synth-pop song.
04 Marmozets - Major System Error (January)
From just down the road the rocky sing-able style of this song is brilliant.
03 Spray - Anthologised By Cherry Red (March)
A great pop sound bringing the retro-lyrics to life, this is another very catchy entry.
02 I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Do It All The Time (October)
The most recent discovery on this list, I love the quirky production of this song.
01 Vandal Moon feat. Vverevvolf - The Bomb (March)
The one track that I keep coming back to through the year, this 80s-esque album track is just incredible.
