TOP TEN: March Favourite Songs.

I haven't done a top ten in a while so I thought I'd do one tonight - I'm incredibly  bored and very awake.

So, I thought I'd list my ten favourite songs right now, they're not necessarily brand new just to pre- warn you..

1. Meghan Trainor - Credit.

I've been obsessed with her entire album so don't be surprised if I happen to mention another song of hers. I love the sassiness of this song. Bravo, Meghan.

2. Sia - Elastic Heart.

Dislike the music video, love the song. Sia is a genius when it comes to song writing - enough said.

3. Ed Sheeran - Even My Dad Does Sometimes.

When I'm having an emotional day I cry to this song. Love the song, the man, the album, everything.

4. Sam Smith - How Will I Know(Whitney Houston Cover)

No words can be used to describe the amount of talent this guy has. I love him so, so much and I hope he sticks around for a bloody long time.

5. Meghan Trainor - My Selfish Heart.

There she is again.. Love this song, I've been in a similar situation before and I love how Meghan isn't an artist who shames men constantly in her music*ahem*. 

6. Fifth Harmony - Sledgehammer.

Not really a fan of them as I don't really like girl bands(SPICE GIRLS EXCLUDED) but I do love this song and it has been on repeat once or two hundred times this past month or so..

7. Rihanna ft Kanye West & Paul McCartney - #FourFiveSeconds.

Oh I love you Rihanna. I really, really do. But why oh why did you have to involve Kanye?! There are weird voices when he's trying to sing and it just makes me cringe and keel over. Still love the song though.

8. Olly Murs ft Demi Lovato - Up.

Not the biggest fan of Olly Murs' music if I'm honest, I've always called his music 'radio music' because I've only ever listened to it when I've been driving and it's come on, BUT his last single Wrapped Up and this one with Demi I've really loved so who knows? Maybe I'll check out his album.. I said maybe..

9. Chris Brown ft Kid Ink - Hotel.

I hate the fact that I want to dislike Chris Brown but every song he releases I literally fall in love with. I even bought this song on iTunes(I KNOW)! I just love it and I'm glad he's going back into RnB and coming away from the dance anthem sound e.g: Yeah x3, Beautiful People.

10. One Direction - Illusion.

I've been obsessed with their entire album but this is the song I put on first before any others and usually I'll repeat it as well. It's one of my favourite ever songs of theirs (as well as Summer Love, Last First Kiss and Happily). It's just a lovely song. Also, thanks to Niall for writing it..

So there you have it, my top ten songs from this past month or so, maybe I'll do another next month..

Thanks for reading, until next time!

RANDOM: Things That Make Me Happy.

So, recently I've been having really low days where I've just felt run down and sad. I haven't been sad for any particular reason; just an accumulation of things such as the stresses from my job, managing how I spend my own money, missing home, feeling lonely.
