Due to the overwhelming success last year and high volume of posts, this thread is back for another half yearly season!
The middle of the year is upon us, and here is where you can post your Personal Best Mid-Year Songs from the first half of 2012. The eligibility period is for songs that have charted from 1st November, 2011 to 30th June, 2012 only.
Half a year has gone, there were so many excellent tunes that charted, from a vast variety of talented national and international artists.
Some of the highlights from the first half of the year, have been continued success from Adele and Gotye, with songs from both artists continiuing overlapping from 2011.
Lana Del Rey is also a standout breakthrough artist from the first half of 2012, and other newcomers Carly Rae Jensen, One Direction and The Wanted, have all kickstarted 2012 with global chart success.
It's also good to see Katy Perry and Rihanna continuing their success with the release of more singles.
The songs that are featured in the best of mid-year charts, can often be seen as a key indicator to which song will peak at #1 on your end of year charts.
It can be any of your personal best songs, that were released in any format such as digital, radio airplay singles or album tracks, since the year commenced.
Also the top songs from your Smartphones, iPods, iTunes or Windows Media Player playlists can now also be included.
Happy Mid-Year 2012!! everyone!
Best Wishes! for the 2nd half of the year!! lol xoxo

Most of my countdown has been dominated by Karise Eden and Rachael Leahcar.
1. La Vie En Rose 2. Hallelujah 3. It's A Man's World 4. Someone To Watch Over Me 5. Over The Rainbow 6. Nights In White Satin 7. Smile 8. Hands 9. Shooting Star 10.Nothing's Real But Love
I'm very interested in a combined best/worst mid-year chart. I think particularly this year, members are charting less and less of the current top 50, so this one would be very different to before. A broadcast would be nice and I'm more than happy to calculate it. Anyone else interested?
With only songs that peaked this year on my chart!

A chart is to be made. The cutoff isn't known yet, but you've still got plenty of time to post a list. Lists need to be numbered/ordered etc to be counted. If you haven't done this, feel free to adjust your posts. Lists can be memoed too if it is preferred, and only the top 50 count for points. Basically it's the same as every year so feel free to read the old threads to get the idea, because this post is horribly written

Unlucky #51: New Empire - Give Me The World (18 plays)
We've decided that the broadcast will be on Saturday the 14th of July, and the posting of lists to be included will be on Sunday the 8th of July, so if you haven't done so already, get to it!
Yes! Just letting you know Trav, I've been annoying Hijinx trying to find out if some specific songs are in your chart. Awesome to see New Empire, but I expected to see The Veldt
oh well The Veldt, A Team and Andy Grammer is just below I guess. Last edited:
