How did no one notice this post? I did notice it just hadn't gone back to it yet - @chroniclea we didn't rank "One Kiss" as it was not officially out yet when we started taking submissions. I was joking lol

Tough 19-11 reveal! 19. Under control (9) was a favorite the year it was released. I’ve liked a couple of Hurts songs and I felt the lead voice made this a greater song, plus the song has a strong nostalgic melody that I really appreciate. 18. I didn’t think My Way (12) had bad vocals. I sort of like that alcoholic daddy sound he went for lol. I loved the beat, the drums, the chants. Felt very Latin / Brazilian :) 17. You guys did We’ll be coming back (8) DIRRTY!!! One of my favs from CH for sure. I love his voice here, the nostalgia, the beat, everything works pretty well. Disappointed at its position here :( 16. I thought I was gonna rank Bounce (28) higher. It was a song I liked back in the day, and it’s still nice, but just a bit simple and not as strong as others in his catalog. 15. P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING!!! Let’s Go (15) is a song that I liked at that time but even then felt it was beneath the quality of Calvin’s material. It’s a good pop song, but not to par with most of his singles. 14. WTF?!?!?! Murderers!!! Lol. I’m not Alone (1) is a gem and a half. I know it wasn’t popular here. Hey, even I didn’t hear it as much back then, but this was almost love at first listen when I heard it in one of my trips abroad. Melody, voice, complexity, emotions. All works here. I hope the younger crowd add this to their playlist and start a hearing healing therapy soon! I may have under-ranked some of his pre-crossover singles, but I’m glad I was the top ranker of this one it wasn’t easy to choose my #1 but I felt this was not only the most Calvin of my favorites in this RD, but also one of the most wholesome songs in this RD. 13. The music is indeed strong in This is What I Came For (14), but it’s repetitive as hell and the whole You You-u-u-u got a bit annoying with time to me. Glad it didn’t make the top 10 :) 12. I do like Summer (10) as an effervescent track that really makes you think of Summer -and maybe even thinking of hot people at the beach... like Calvin in the video . Sad to see it leave before the top 10. 11. Feels (13) is my favorite off Funk... I dig the vibe and beach feel of it. Katy is just a faceless accessory here but she plays that role well. I’m upset it ranked higher than INA and Summer though. I still have 2-7, 11, 16, 17, 23 left. I’ll say: it’s ridiculous that you guys have left all but one song with CH vocals in the top 10. Come on!

Disappointed at its position here Are you aware that Example sings in "We'll Be Coming Back" instead of Calvin Harris, right? It could probably be either a typo or a misunderstanding, but I remember there were people saying that Adam and Elliot were the same person.

I liked Feels when it was released but I don't think it will stand the test of time like some of his bigger tunes.

This rank down is messy! "TIWYCF" and "Summer" missing top ten with "Feels" ahead of them

Switch "Feels" with "Thinking About You" and that's a really solid top 10.

"Let's Go" is great; haters can GTFO. Are Calvin's singles from before "We Found Love" really remembered? Because I am pretty sure the majority of people were not familiar with his songs from before then.

Surprising that "This Is What You Came For" didn't make the top ten. I expected it to have more support.

I love all of the top 5 remixes <3
I figured I should say something positive to make up for all my bitching and moaning about the singles rankdown, lol.

Yup, Changed The Way You Kiss Me and Kickstart are two EDM favorites of mine. I do like Example's voice a lot, and I think he matched the vibe of the song perfectly :) "Let's Go" is great; haters can GTFO. Are Calvin's singles from before "We Found Love" really remembered? Because I am pretty sure the majority of people were not familiar with his songs from before then. I mean, I remember them... Feels So Close was a hit before WFL, so... :) Plus, INA, RFTW and YUTLM are sort of big dance hits. It's like saying does anyone remember any Avicii song from before Wake Me Up? Mmmmm

Regarding the Produced singles, I'm glad Heart Beat Rock FINALLY left. This is one of the few songs from X that I simply dislike, and I don't include in my playlist, just like Too Much from Aphrodite (which I consider as simply too generic). Surprised that it managed to rank in the top 10 instead of Hands. Only the Horses and Holiday were pretty good first-listens, but I was especially pleasantly surprised at One Life, which I think is a real jam! And Mary sounds amazing :)
I have my 1-3, 5, 10 left. So I hope my #10 is next :)

"Let's Go" is great; haters can GTFO. Thank you for the compliment. <3 Either way, I don't hate "Let's Go", but I felt disappointed when it came out, mainly because it was a key release in America and it ended to be "We Found Love" part 2. However, I don't deny that it goes off, especially the Calvin Harris mix, which is the instrumental version. Are Calvin's singles from before "We Found Love" really remembered? Because I am pretty sure the majority of people were not familiar with his songs from before then. Of course, they are. Adam is one of the Scottish acts who had some success in Europe (including seven UK Top 10, where two of them ["Dance Wiv Me" and "I'm Not Alone"] reached atop) and Oceania before his career took off after the release of "We Found Love", making him to cross over to America. As a consequence, they are not necessarily known by mainstream US audience, but his songs were known at the clubs.

Yeah, I mean, we have to keep in mind that even though he is a huge name in Pop music now, he is a DJ/Producer at the end of the day and his core is in Dance/EDM. So, yes, if you have been an avid Dance music fan you would be familiar with his work right from the beginning.
