Calvin Harris has just scored a massive new Number 1 with Miracle, his trance anthem with Ellie Goulding. A wilfully wobbly and floaty machine-pop with light beats that drifts into the subconscious from the underground electronic music producer from near Edinburgh. LFM also presents The Magic Window on madwaspradio.com, apparently.

Another surprising entry sees the ever popular Waterboys make the list with their hit song 'Whole of the Moon'. Here is a collection of around 200 Scottish songs which we all know and love - but sometimes forget the exact words. They have either been written by Scots or about Scotland.One of the quintessential songs for Scots is “Scotland the Brave,” performed by Robert Wilson. This powerful patriotic anthem is often considered one of the unofficial national anthems of Scotland.

An irresistible ballad telling the true story of a young man who took his own life from the gothic voiced Scottish Music Award Breakthrough 2020 nominee who describes his subject as a "life of the party" character with so much to live for. Using the music of the Irish folk song “She Moved Through the Fair,”“Belfast Child” carries a significant historical weight. Songwriter Jim Kerr wrote the lyrics in response to the 1987 Enniskillen bombing that killed 12 people and wounded at least 63. This heartfelt song captures his grief and anger. A soaring version of the song about suicide by the superstar Scots singer-songwriter which topped the UK Singles chart in January. He says it was "by far the most personal tune" he had ever written and he drew on feelings surrounding his aunt who took her own life when he was younger. This includes a "I lost control and I liked it" vocal hook that will no doubt make for the perfect call and response live.

With over 562 million streams, it holds the title of the most-streamed song in the UK. It also topped the UK Singles Chart for seven consecutive weeks and was the best-selling single of 2019 in the country. The exciting new 18-year-old artist from Bathgate is at his best on this darkly twisting electro-synth epic which comes over like a poppier Nine Inch Nails from his superb debut The Storm EP. He says it’s about the internet and how you see everyone posting about things they are going to do and achieve but nothing really ever happens.
