189.
Sting - I Can't Stop Thinking About You



Peak: 48
Wks: 2
Album: 57th & 9th
Track:1
Genre: Pop Rock

Late comer to my chart. It has done incredibly well on AAA chart. It's catchy and melodic, but why did he try to sound it so much like a Bryan Adams song, when he clearly has his own amazing trademark sound is beyond me?

188. MUNA - Loudspeaker






Peak: 46
Wks: 2
Album: Loudspeaker E.P.
Track:1
Genre: Indie Pop

Late comer to my 2016 chart. Catchy ,Irresistible ,Indie Pop; by a trio ;calling their brand of music; "Dark Girl Pop". This is obviously a genre; that I must now investigate. It barely grazed the AAA charts, but I think I'm going to keep it around for a chunk of 2017

187. Green Day - Xmas Time Of The Year




Peak: 27(2 weeks)
Wks: 4
Album: Holiday Promotional single
Track:1
Genre: Alternative Rock

In Late 2015; Green Day released this holiday single for the fans. being a huge; Green Day, fan; I charted this for the month of December.

186. Rod Stewart - Please



Peak: 48
Wks: 4
Album: Another Country
Track: 2
Genre: Blues Rock


Another famous voice in Music is Rod Stewart. I came across this track from his; Another Country ,album; almost by accident. I immediately fell for the bluesy rock feel and the way he delivers the "Please" line. It's really amazing to see this icons of yesterday still pumping out music in the 2010s.

185. Aurora - Conqueror


Peak: 47
Wks: 3
Album: All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend
Track: 2
Genre: Indie Pop

I started charting this immediately as it was released, but burned out on it in just as fast as the actual Alternative charts did too. At first; It gave me a of Monsters and Men; "Crystals" vibe.. and then it didn't.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

184. Weezer - King Of The World



Peak: 47
Wks: 3
Album: Weezer (White Album)
Track: 6
Genre: Alternative Rock

First off; this is a great song. I really dropped the ball on this one; by charting it too late when there was a lot of competition on my charts. It lasted over 20 weeks on Alternative Charts and ended up being one of the top songs of the year. This is one of the few songs by the band; that I regret; not getting into sooner. Funny thing is; I give it more foobar action now; that I did; when I ,charted it.

183. Finish Ticket - Color




Peak: 47
Wks: 4
Album: When Night Becomes Day EP
Track: 3
Genre: Indie Alternative Rock

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

182. Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling!


Peak: 45
Wks: 5
Album: Trolls Movie Soundtrack
Track: 1
Genre: Pop

Here is one for the Pop crowd. I actually enjoy Justin Timberlake's; brand ,of old school, pop. Especially these uptempo sing a long numbers. I prefer this video. looks like one hell of a party too.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

181. Computer Magic - Fuzz


Peak: 44
Wks: 3
Album: Davos
Track: 1
Genre: Indie Synth Pop

Another late entry on my 2016 weekly charts. This indie synth Pop number has a really great chorus; reminding us of 80s ;New Wave, bands, like The Human League and OMD. This is a style I have really gotten into in 2016. Actually ; I have never gotten out of it and I have a whole new batch of 2016;80's sounding New Wave songs to chart in 2017.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

180. Florence + the Machine - Delilah

Peak: 44
Wks: 5
Album: How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
Track: 6
Genre: Indie Pop

I love Florence + The Machine as much as the next fan , but I sorta burnt out on "Delilah" prematurely. It has a great vocals,and music, but doesn't have that instant hook "Ship To Wreck" had for me. That one was humungous on my charts.

178. Waking Skies - Sleepless Nights


Peak: 45
Wks: 6
Album: TBA
Track: 1

This female lead Dutch Indie Rock band are enjoying their first single on my charts. It should be top 40 in the following weeks; as it's been growing on me with each passing week.

177.  Green Day - Still Breathing


Peak: 43
Wks: 1
Album: Revolution Radio
Track: 7
Genre: Alternative Rock


Green Day; for me, is one of the positive things about the 90's. Billie Joe Armstrong's vocals; are way up there, in my Top 10 ever.This song is their new single and it's definitely returning for 2017.  As will ;more singles, from Revolution Radio.Also since there is no cool Art sleeve; as of yet, I decided to create one. So this one is a Dr. Indie original.

This song is their new single and it's definitely returning for 2107.

176. Great Good Fine Ok - Take It Or Leave It


Peak: 42
Wks: 2
Album: non album single
Track: 7
Genre: Synthpop

Here is a band that has found more success on spotify and soundcloud than on mainstream. This is the second single I'm charting from them. With their irresistible synthpop songs; it's a wonder they still haven't broke out on the charts.

175. Swiss Lips - Cheetah


Peak: 44
Wks: 4
Album: Overflowing Futures
Track: 10
Genre: Indie Synthpop

This band had a huge hit on my charts back in 2012 called "Something In The Water" and they have been regulars on this chart ever since.This song was yanked off youtube, before I even got a chance to get into it; full on, Indie ,style; therefore only spending 4 weeks on my chart. It's back now; so I might just bring it back for 2017. 

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

174. Bells Of Youth - Arcadia


Peak: 44
Wks: 6
Album: Dreamers
Track: 3
Genre: Indie Folk Rock

Another Dutch band make their way onto my year end chart. This time it's an all female Folk rock song ; with emphasis more on Rock than folk, but with great vocals. Their album Dreamers is finally out, so I might check it out for more new ;2017, music

173. STRFKR - Never Ever


Peak: 43
Wks: 5
Album: Being No One, Going Nowhere
Track: 1
Genre: Indie Synthpop


More of that 80's vibed Synthpop is finding a slot on this year's; year end chart. This was one heck of a synth solo and a great breakdown that follows.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

172. Capital Cities - Vowels


Peak: 38
Wks: 3
Album: TBA
Track: 1
Genre: Synthpop

Another band that has had huge success on my charts with their past hits; is back with a brand new single. The chorus of this song is getting a lot of slack, but I think it's catchy and fun. That's what synthpop is to me. This song is barely heating up on my charts; so it will be back in 2017 at a much much higher position.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

171. Loverboy - Hurtin'


Peak: 40
Wks: 4
Album: "Hurtin'" single
Track: 1
Genre: Rock

Anyone who knows me; knows, I chart 80's iconic Rock, New Wave and Pop artists whenever they release something new. This is Loverboy's self released new single. It's also new on my charts and climbing.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

170. CRUISR - Throw Shade


Peak: 43
Wks: 7
Album: "Throw Shade" single
Track: 1
Genre: Indie Pop

American Indie Pop band with some real crafty and catchy songs. No album ; as of yet, but they have released a new single called "Take That"; which is sure to find its way onto my charts in no time.

BTW, those wondering ;why I left out, the lyrics section, this year? It's because once I do the copy paste deal; it becomes a whole other hassle to deleet the spaces and what not. I will post some lyric vids from time to time to make up for that.

I forgot you were the one that made the thread for "All Over" in the Alt forum a few years back. These guys are so good. This wasn't one of my favorites from them, but happy it made your year-end. Hope you chart "Take That" in the future, as that is charting on mine!
