The Max Hits year end releases are something to look forward to. It's the best compilation having all your hits on one mind blowing CD. If you have already ripped off these hits and put them on your phone, you can still own the physical copy for your collection of best of 2015. There will no doubt be one of two tracks that you may not want to replay, but on the whole it’s a great songs collection.

We have the album opener, the hugely popular Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. The album is a collection of fiery dance numbers that makes you hip hop till you drop. All those debonair numbers put together that have swept people off their feet over the last year. Play on withSing byBrit singer – songwriter Ed Sheeran and go ‘ohhhhhhhhhhh’. If EDM is your poison, there’s loads here from dance masters David Guetta who hits you bang on with punching beat on Dangerous (Feat. Sam Martin), Calvin Harris with the repetitious Blame to Dillion Francis with his well knit rendition of Get Low to Prayer in C (Lily Wood and The Prick and Robin Schulz) toHardwell with Eclipse at the end of the list, make this partly an EDM music lovers playlist. Taking you to the height of beats, rhythm, music and dance enigma we have Magic with their super hit Rude, followed by pop band One Direction with Steal My Girl, whose music and rhythm compel you to chill out and have fun. Meghan Trainor’s massive hit All About that Bass is another compelling piece here

Then there is Australian songstress Sia a powerhouse of talent who brings her high pitched vocals on the scintillating Chandelier, a song that has become an anthem today. John Legend pitches slowly with his fabulous piano based All of Me that grooves smoothly over Christina Perri’s A Thousand Years. Pharrell Williams Happy (Live version) that all time hit that is still a rage with its sashaying rhythm and even though it’s a live version, still has the pep to make you take to the floor right from its opening bars. Wonder boy from the UK George Ezra brings on his thoughts of a foreign land in Budapest, while we have an old reggae favorite Shaggy sharing stage with Mohombi, Faydee, Costi in a new version of Habibi Love (I need your love).

“Tell me you got the power, and I say Uhh…”Rewind a few months and take in the Official Theme Song of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 with WDL Feat Maawe with his hard hitting Bob’s Beat. Many have been trying to lay their hands on this catchy piece of work during the ICC World Cup and here it is in its entirety. Other delightful numbers are the less popular but potential pop charts toppers like Cool Kids (Echosmith) Rather Be (Clean Bandit), Am I Wrong (Nico and Vinz),

So put on you dancing shoes. Get funky and let your hair down, for here are 20 tracks that promise to never grow old, music that has the juice to get you in the mood for some bogeying. Program the ones you like and dance on.

Truly enjoyable.
