After a long, disco-ball-covered hibernation, #MOTM (Music of the Month) returns to the DJC Zone in full glittering force. It’s been years since this blog series blessed the internet with scrobble-fuelled commentary, but now it’s back—and it’s here to stay. Each month, I’ll be sharing the Top 10 most played tracks from my personal listening stats, powered by Last.fm.
If you’re new to the concept, here’s the deal: Last.fm is a music tracking service that logs what you listen to on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. Each play is called a “scrobble,” and over time, it builds a detailed history of your listening habits. It’s like a musical diary—except way cooler and slightly more obsessive.
March 2025 has been an absolute riot of rhythms, with beats flying from Italy to Poland and glitter bombs going off in every corner of the playlist. Buckle up, because this Top 10 is one of the fiercest yet.
1. ‘Tutta L’Italia’ – Gabry Ponte (145 scrobbles)
✨ Vibe: High-octane Italian pride meets dancefloor madness.
Gabry Ponte didn’t just release a track—he launched a sonic Vespa into your soul. “Tutta L’Italia” is a turbo-charged Eurodance juggernaut, exploding with national pride and fist-pumping BPMs. It’s the kind of anthem that makes you want to paint your face with the Italian flag and rave your way through a Roman colosseum. Every beat shouts VIVA L’ITALIA like it just won Eurovision and the World Cup in the same week.
2. ‘Gaja’ – Justyna Steczkowska (141 scrobbles)
🌌 Vibe: Ethereal queen channeling divine mysticism.
This isn’t just a song—it’s a spiritual encounter. “Gaja” feels like it was whispered into existence by the moon herself. Justyna’s voice is pure siren song: haunting, hypnotic, and holy. She doesn’t just sing—she summons. Think ancient rituals meets avant-garde elegance. It’s what you’d hear if Björk headlined a Slavic mythology rave in the middle of a forest clearing. Witchy and wonderful.
3. ‘Abracadabra’ – Lady Gaga (128 scrobbles)
🎩 Vibe: Pop sorcery with a side of camp.
Gaga snapped, twirled her wand, and said “let there be drama.” This track is chaos in couture: pulsing beats, theatrical flair, and a generous sprinkle of glittery mischief. “Abracadabra” sounds like if Studio 54 hosted a séance. It’s campy, it’s sexy, it’s slightly possessed. You will strut, you might levitate. Classic Gaga—serving spells and slayage.
4. ‘Hallucination’ – Sissal (124 scrobbles)
🌿 Vibe: Dreamy, dark synth-pop for late-night wanderers.
This track is pure atmosphere. “Hallucination” doesn’t just play—it seeps into your bloodstream. It’s music for walking through foggy streets at 3AM with a heart full of memories and a head full of static. Sissal whispers sweet melancholia over glitched beats like a ghost in your headphones. It’s haunting in the coolest way—like The XX got lost in a synth lab and liked it.
5. ‘Hush Hush’ – Meira Omar (121 scrobbles)
🕌 Vibe: Ethno-pop banger with Turkish flair.
Forget silence—this track demands attention. “Hush Hush” is a heady blend of traditional Turkish textures and full-throttle pop production. It sways, it slaps, it slinks. Meira Omar delivers seductive power with vocals that glide like silk and percussion that hits like a drumline in the Grand Bazaar. Exotic and electric—a total earworm with global sass.
6. ‘Revolution’ – Måns Zelmerlöw (112 scrobbles)
🚀 Vibe: Pop anthems with purpose.
Måns doesn’t do subtle—and that’s exactly why we love him. “Revolution” is built for the arena, all anthemic choruses and polished passion. It’s giving stadium singalong, it’s giving rise up and dance, it’s giving Eurovision realness with grown-up stakes. Perfect for storming the Bastille and doing your cardio. Viva la pop power!
7. ‘Jungle’ – Sugababes (106 scrobbles)
🌴 Vibe: Urban cool with nostalgic sass.
The OG queens of UK pop are back, and they’re not here to play nice. “Jungle” growls with attitude, struts with style, and throws back to the glory days without sounding dated. It’s edgy, confident, and refreshingly unfiltered. The beat slaps, the harmonies slay, and the energy screams grown woman comeback. The Sugababes still bite.
8. ‘La Poupée Monte Le Son’ – Laura Thorn (102 scrobbles)
🧠 Vibe: Electro-pop fantasy with fashion show flair.
No linguistic hopscotch here—this one’s unapologetically French from head to perfectly pedicured toe. “La Poupée Monte Le Son” sounds like it was stitched together in a neon-lit dreamscape where Brigitte Bardot meets Daft Punk at a fashion show in Versailles. With vocals as cool as a glass of Perrier and beats that tick like a vintage music box gone rogue, this is pure electro-chic. Press play and pose—because this poupée has arrived.
9. ‘Lighter’ – Kyle Alessandro (96 scrobbles)
🔥 Vibe: Empowerment anthem meets electro-pop pulse.
At first, “Lighter” seems like your standard (albeit very sleek) coming-of-age pop gem. But wait—is that a Norwegian fiddle break in the middle of my dancefloor catharsis? Why yes, yes it is. Kyle Alessandro doesn’t just serve electro-pop glow-up realness—he throws in a slice of Nordic folklore, then drops the beat like nothing happened. The result? A genre-blending, culture-spanning anthem that dances between sleek modernity and traditional soul. Iconic, unexpected, and totally DJC Zone certified.
10. ‘When We Kiss’ – Olly Alexander (95 scrobbles)
😚 Vibe: Queer euphoria on the dancefloor.
Olly Alexander is the high priest of synth-pop sensuality, and “When We Kiss” is pure altar-worthy worship. It’s all breathy vocals, sparkling production, and that intoxicating feeling of being exactly where you want to be—pressed against someone under pink lights. It’s the kind of track that makes your heart flutter and your eyeliner run. A glitter-smeared masterpiece.
💖 Honourable Mention: ‘YIHAA’ – Dolly Style (89 scrobbles)
You thought you were safe from saccharine? Think again. “YIHAA” is an explosion of pigtails, plastic, and pastel mayhem. Dolly Style serve peak hyper-pop with wink-wink humour and zero subtlety—and that’s the charm. It’s like Sailor Moon started a J-pop band after five Red Bulls. You will bounce. You will squeal. You will sing “Yihaaaa” at the top of your lungs. DJC Zone certified candy-coated chaos.
