Hey #ArtistFave15 fam 🔈 Huge 🙏🏽 again for being part of the challenge & for all your awesome choices 😍 Yuri & I are loving the sheer range of artists & trax ❤️‍🔥🎶 I’ve added several to my playlist 🥳 Top 10 time & we can’t wait to see how this plays out 🤩 💙💙 from @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social & moi 🙌

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 2000 14 Don't Tell Me, Madonna "Tell me love isn't true It's just something that we do Tell me everything I'm not But please don't tell me to stop"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac 15>1 9 The Chain (Rumors, 1977) "And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain" www.youtube.com/watc...

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 2000 15 Pure Shores, All Saints All Saints best song IMO. Intoxicating dream-pop with undercurrents of electronica. #1 UK, #4 Oz. "Take me somewhere I can breathe I've got so much to see This is where I want to be"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac 15>1 10 Gypsy (Mirage, 1982) Written & sung by Stevie, about getting back to her pre-FM roots - at least that's one line of inspiration. The video was the highest-budget at the time. "Lightning strikes Maybe once, maybe twice" www.youtube.com/watc...

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 2000 16 He Don't Love You, Human Nature Aussie vocal group Human Nature went 'full boyband' for the lead single from their 3rd album & scored yet another Aussie top 10 hit (#4 ARIA) "If I was your man, wouldn't treat you that way"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac 15>1 11 Everywhere (Tango In The Night, 1987) Written & sung by Chris, this is perfect pop. Warm lyrics, happy rhythm, big hooks. "Can you hear me calling Out your name? You know that I'm falling And I don't know what to say" www.youtube.com/watc...

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 2000 17 My Love, Westlife I found this long-lost fave! The turn-of-the-millenium had no shortage of boybands, but I think Westlife issued some terrific ballads "And oh my love, I'm holding on forever Reaching for the love that seems so far"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac 15>1 12 Don't Stop (Rumors, 1979) Written by Chris about John, with Lindsey & Chris on co-lead vocals - & they sound tops. A swinging tune with a deadly rhythm. "All I want is to see you smile If it takes just a little while" www.youtube.com/watc...

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 2000 18 Day & Night, Billie Piper In 2000, much fun was had dancing to handbag in Sydney's gay clubs. So c'mon down Billie Piper with my first handbag house pick for 2000! "Cos the only time I think of you Is everyday and all night through"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac 15>1 13 Sara (Tusk, 1979) Another Stevie composition & apparently about Sara Recor's affair with Mick while he was romantic with Stevie. This band is complex! "Sara, you're the poet in my heart Never change, never stop" www.youtube.com/watc...

#MusicChallenge #ArtistFave15 Beatles Unranked Hey, #MusicSky! Be sure to use the #ArtistFave15 PINNED feed; hashtags are NOT working! 😫 Go to settings ➡️feeds ➡️discover new feeds ➡️search "ArtistFave15". Click & pin it (top-right corner). Day 2: "Yesterday" (1965) m.youtube.com/watch?v=wXTJ...

#ArtistFave15 Hashtag issues … It’s not working for me either, but I’ve real realised that if you use the feed itself instead of the hashtag, you can still see all the posts. So go to the feeds and find #ArtistFave15 and then you should be fine. But I will message support too. 🥴

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 2000 19 Taste In Men, Placebo This electro-rock mantra was an alt hit in 🇦🇺 & the interpretation in the video was really quite powerful for me. "Come back to me a while Change your taste in men"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac 15>1 14 Tusk (Tusk, 1979) This rhythmic, cacophenous, percussive track, credited to Buckingham, is bizarre & hypnotic. Also, their biggest hit in Oz, reaching #3! "Don't say that you love me Just tell me that you want me " www.youtube.com/watc...

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 2000 20 Blow Up The Pokies, The Whitlams I'm late starting 😱 I turned 27yo in 2000 🥳 The decisions were TOUGH 🥵 Iconic 🇦🇺 indie band The Whitlams had a hit with a powerful message 💔 "Show them you can be your own man again" www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B49...

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac 15>1 15 Rhiannon (Fleetwood Mac, 1975) Finally! It's time to roll out Fleetwood Mac (focussing on the line-up 1974 on). Opening with a track from the beginning of that era, penned by Stevie. "And wouldn't you love to love her?" www.youtube.com/watc...

#ArtistFave15 #ComingSoon I've had this prepped for months ... since May, I think ... and I'm FINALLY doing it 🥳 This month I'm going with THIS band (and THIS line up specifically) 😍🎶

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 2 Ten Days 2nd single, #12 ARIA Chart. About regretting breaking up when you're still in love. Plaintive & hopeful all at once. Distinctly Missy. "You're still the only one that feels like home" www.youtube.com/watc...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 4 The Sound Of White Title track & 4th single (#22, ARIA). It's about the void left after the death of Missy's cousin. Perfectly meditative. "Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light" www.youtube.com/watc...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 5 Nightminds A stunning portrayal of loving someone neurodivergent (arguably bipolar). Beautiful. Another live one here. "You were blessed by a different kind of inner view, it's all magnified" www.youtube.com/watc...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 6 Don't Ever A gorgeous tune that imagines a future with someone when no one else can. Live & this time on guitar! "Let's take the train to anywhere I wanna feel the wind in my hair with you" www.youtube.com/watc...

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Devilish Better The Devil you Know, Kylie Minogue No more excuses, no, no 'Cos I've heard them all before A hundred times or more I'll forgive and forget If you say you'll never go 'Cause it's true what they say It's better the devil you know

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 7 Any Day Now Painfully & poetically evokes wishing to hold onto a fading relationship. Excellent live version. "Say you've kept some fire aside To set light to me Some surprising night" www.youtube.com/watc...

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Sweet Sweet & Sour, The Takeaways One day the wind blows hot and cold Life can be sweet and sour But I am in control It can chill me to the bone Give me wings to fly on my own I am in control

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 8 Katie A wonderful song of inspiration & empowerment for all those kids who need some encouragement. "When will you draw the line Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know She said, 'go'" www.youtube.com/watc...

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Trickery Trick With A Knife, Strawpeople You can't see what you're doing to me I don't have to have a reason I just wanna be free Now is the time Nothing to say You destroyed the tenderness I'm not going to stay Trick with a knife

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 9 The River A lilting song about a 10yo girl from an abusive home who (purposely?) drowns trying to escape. Yup, intense. "Somebody's bed will never be warm again The river will keep this friend" www.youtube.com/watc...

Rainbow lorikeet #snack time at my place 😅🌈🦜💚😍

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Witchy Waking The Witch, Kate Bush I question your innocence She's a witch What say you, good people Well, are you responsible for your actions? Not guilty Wake up the witch

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1994 20>1 1 Confide In Me, Kylie Minogue Rel. 28/08/1994 This genre-defying song was #1 for my Kylie #ArtistFave15. It was #1 for 4 wks in Oz & was #1 on my 21st. Special to me. "We all get hurt by love And we all have our cross to bear"

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge The Sound Of White, Missy Higgins (2004) 10>1 10 They Weren't There On the surface about a break up but tacks between grief, pining & defending her feelings against the 'I told you so' people. "But they weren't there beneath your stare" www.youtube.com/watc...

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1994 20>1 2 Stay (I Missed You), Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories Rel. 31/01/1994 The poetic, folksy song from archetypal Gen X film Reality Bites. Essential to my Gen X life soundtrack. Made #6 in Oz. I love it. "And I thought that I don't belong"
