🎵Disco🎵's 2020 Year End Charts

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

COMING SOON TO THE PERSONAL CHARTS SECTION!

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

This year will be different. I am not going to do individual song posts because I still haven't finished last year's. Shhhhh.... I will do just one main one for the currents and another main one for the classics. And if I am not lazy about it, I will do commentary and analysis.

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

2020 was a wild year and I am definitely glad it’s over. It wasn’t all bad though. Musically speaking I felt I had a pretty good year. I discovered a lot of new music that was current and also lots of classics that I had missed the first or even second time around.

I used the time I had during my 3 month lockdown to listen to a lot of music during my new free time. I passed the time listening to a lot of DJs' sets on Twitch. Much of the music I ended up scrubbing throughout this year came from there. A number of famous and even not as famous DJs joined the Twitch platform to play music for the audience since they couldn’t play in the traditional way as clubs, festivals, and circuit parties were not happening (well, some were still doing them but that's a whole other show).

I had the chance to experience some DJs whom I’ve never actually heard live in person. Mixed CD compilations and podcasts are not quite the same thing as them playing in real time and interacting with the audience and feeding off of the energy and stuff in that moment. Perhaps this could be a viable option because it does help these DJs to reach audiences that they may not have been otherwise able to reach because some don’t tour nationally and internationally or they just don’t have the means to travel abroad. Just like we saw some virtual concerts succeed like with Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue those could be a potential model for how this can be done eventually. Even though we may have the vaccines now it will be a very long time before things are how they were pre-COVID-19.

I started checking out DJ Jonathan Peters' virtual sets at the end of March on Twitch but I didn't create an account. It was a big deal that he was doing this because he hadn't done that many live gigs in a while and I had gotten into his style of playing and his classics from his Sound Factory residency in the last few years so I was curious to hear his new sound. His new direction is very dark, techy, and progressive with limited vocals.

I created an account in early April after I saw DJ Chris Cox do a marathon 12 hour set. He had simulcast the set on Facebook Live and I saw all of the positive feedback. That first set consisted of many of his Thunderpuss classics and some other big club anthems. I caught his first Saturday set live and I tune into all his sets either live or via the replays. He plays Wednesday mornings and Friday and Saturday evenings.

I connected with a number of other people in the show chat there and I found that some of us had mutual friends and we traveled in similar circles. I found a whole new group of friends that I would not have found otherwise. I helped out with the stream with IDing songs, sharing behind the scenes and other info, being there to give feedback, and also sending over songs that were requested and that led to me being ask to be a moderator there and I am still doing that. I along with the other moderators help to organize special shows and just keep things running smoothly. It has been a lot of fun. I also am a moderator at Ronnie Bruno and ThatDJTroy's shows.

The Chris Cox shows led to me discovering some nationally known DJs such as Curtis Atchison, David Michael, DJ Deanne, Fuzzyland, Marco Da Silva, MsMelody, Rick Corbo, Ron Slomowicz, Ronnie Bruno, Susan Esthera, ThatDJTroy, Twisted Dee, and Warren Peace. Other established ones with global recognition such as Barry Harris, Dave Dresden, David Morales, Johnny Vicious, Louie Vega, Paul Van Dyk, Rosabel, Tracy Young, and Tony Moran also joined the platform.

I had a really tough time making the top 100 currents charge because I didn’t listen to or consume a lot of current music and/or listen to it enough times for it to make 100. I had to go through the first 1100 or so songs I had listen to throw in the year that had the most players to assemble this top 100. The classics were a lot easier since most of what I listened to was much older.

A lot of the remixes that are on here are by Thunderpuss, Jonathan Peters, Junior Vasquez, and Johnny Vicious. The majority of the Thunderpuss ones are from the Chris Cox and Barry Harris virtual streams as they featured a ton of their classic productions from when they were Thunderpuss. Many of the DJs whose sets I was listening to played their stuff.

I will do a separate post below the charts with an overview of my favorite albums from the year.

My methodology for how this chart was done is quite simple. I used Last.FM to track my plays throughout the year. I then went through and tabulated and combined all versions of a song since in some cases there were multiple remixes, versions, or edits of a song that was played during the year. Then I combined the plays and ranked them most to least and then we have the top 100 for both Currents and Classics. I ended up doing 125 for the Classics because there were so many this year so I felt that it’s okay for me to go a little over with those.

I unfortunately was too busy this year to do commentaries with cover art and other tidbits about the songs individually as I had done last year. I realize I still haven't finished that one yet.
