07 - Fergie - The Dutchess

IPB Image

Peaked at number 1 for one week in October, returned to number 1 for one week in November, returned to number 1 for two weeks in December, spent 4 weeks at #1 in total

Fergie surprised everyone this year by going solo and bringing out an album that was actually of very good quality, with surefire hits such as Clumsy, Finally and Big Girls Don't Cry amongst its roster, along with the catchy singles, however, the album's midpoint also marks its weakest, with some tracks (such as Voodoo Doll) not quite up to scratch. Full of attitude and a 'I don't give a f*ck what you think' mentality, The Dutchess is a test sample of what may happen if the Black Eyed Peas split up.

Download: Big Girls Don't Cry
Miss: Voodoo Doll
Next Single: Fergalicious (postponed from November)/Glamorous

06 - Shakira - Oral Fixation: Volume 2

IPB Image

Peaked at number one for 3 weeks from April to May, returned to number one for a week in July, returned to number one for 3 weeks from July to August, spent 7 weeks at number 1 in total

Shakira Shakira! Spending the second longest time at number one this year (7 non-consecutive weeks), Shakira had a few stormers on Oral Fixation, such as the feisty 'Animal City', the very retro 'Hey You' and the stomping 'Timor', with no really obvious low points - obviously Hips Don't Lie has lost a lot of its charm with the amount of time it spent at number one in the UK chart laugh.gif After a few listens, songs like 'The Day And The Time' and 'Something' begin to grate a little, but they are by no means bad songs. Although I can't say I appreciate the insight in 'Your Embrace' that it rains everyday in London laugh.gif The worst song on the entire collection would probably have to be the utterly pointless remix of Don't Bother by a Jrsnchz - avoid.

Download: Hey You, Animal City, Timor
Miss: Don't Bother (Jrsnchz Remix)
Next single: TBA

05 - All Saints - Studio 1

IPB Image

Peaked at number 1 for two weeks in November

Most unjust flop EVER. This is one of the best albums I have heard in a LONG time, all of the tracks are excellent except for the horrid mistake that is Dope Noize, although I have personally chosen to replace it with the bonus track on the special edition called 'Sexy' kink.gif The genius of this album is obvious through tracks such as the storming Chickfit, the stomping Rock Steady, the wondrous On And On, the upbeat piano-driven Headlock and the sublime closer Fundamental. Amazing is the only way to describe this album. wub.gif

Download: All of it, except Dope Noize
Miss: Dope Noize
Next single: Chickfit

04 - Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics

IPB Image

Peaked at number one for 2 weeks in August, returned for two weeks in September, spent 4 weeks at number one in total

Xtina's double CD album was eagerly anticipated from all quarters this summer, and was positively received for a very good reason. This album gave us amazing tracks such as the gospel-tinged Makes Me Wanna Pray, the sublimely jazzy Ain't No Other Man (also my first ever number one debut single! cheer.gif), the sexy reminder that was Still Dirrty, the 30s throwback Candyman, the fantastically filthy Nasty Naughty Boy, the emotionally heartfelt Hurt, the raw Save Me From Myself and the gloriously dramatic The Right Man. Yes, the album is THAT good. Unfortunately, double CDs are notorious for bringing plenty of crap along with the fab, and for this we must mentally hate upon the tiresome Back In The Day, the chavtastic Slow Down Baby and the ridiculously self-indulgent Thank You, in which we endure for 5 minutes Christina intermingled with voicemail messages from fans about *gasp* how amazing she is sleep.gif

Download: Makes Me Wanna Pray, Nasty Naughty Boy, Save Me From Myself, The Right Man
Miss: Thank You
Next Single: Candyman

03 - Scissor Sisters - Ta-Dah

IPB Image

Peaked at number one for four weeks from September to October

Awaited by everyone, loved by most, Ta-Dah was one of THE albums of the year, producing one of the nation's greatest hits in the form of 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin' and bringing some other fab songs along for the party - the Broadway-esque 'I Can't Decide', the George Formby inspired 'Intermission', the female empowered pop of 'Kiss You Off', the gloriously gay 'Ooh', the campy 'Paul McCartney', the introspective 'The Other Side', the freaky 'Transistor', and the natural heir to 'Filthy/Gorgeous', 'Making Ladies' wub.gif It's worth buying the 2nd CD just for the fabness of Making Ladies, although I'm sure it can be downloaded laugh.gif The only downside would be the obligatory useless remix, this time on the 2nd CD, the 'Paper Faces Remix' of IDFLD truly leaves a terrible taste in your mouth as it is the album closer sad.gif

Download: Making Ladies, Ooh, I Can't Decide
Miss: I Don't Feel Like Dancin (Paper Faces Remix)
Next Single: She's My Man/Kiss You Off

02 - Nelly Furtado - Loose

IPB Image

Peaked at number one for a week in July, returned to number one for a week later in July, returned to number one for a week in September. Spent 3 weeeks at number one in total.

Nelly shocked everyone with her new brand of experiment pop and R&B earlier this year, a significant departure from her previous works. However, it worked, and nowhere is this more obvious than in the opening triptych of songs - 'Afraid', 'Maneater' and 'Promiscuous', all songs which use the opener to define the NEW Nelly, this works far better than it would have done had she opened with 'Te Busque', 'In Gods Hands' and 'All Good Things'. No, Nelly has a new style and she wants you to KNOW about it. However, the best part of the album begins midway, starting with the beautifully introspective 'Te Busque', followed by the breathtaking 'Say It Right', succeeded by the 80s pop throwback 'Do It', which is followed by 'In God's Hands', which is very reminiscent of some of her previous work. However, the crowning jewel of this album comes with 'All Good Things', the perfect closer to an amazing album...

Unfortunately ruined by the obligatory bonus track. 'Somebody To Love' is a feisty Latin track, however 'Let My Hair Down' just sounds like a lazy effort, and it really does ruin 'AGT's effect as it follows it immediately. At least 'STL' gives the album a high note to go out on. Oh, and 'Glow' is rather annoying as well sleep.gif

Download: Te Busque, In God's Hands, Somebody To Love
Miss: Glow, Let My Hair Down
Next Single: Say It Right

And finally...well, what did you expect? laugh.gif

01 - Prince - 3121

IPB Image

Peaked at number one for 6 weeks from March to April, returned to number one for two weeks in June, spent 8 weeks at number one in total.

Spending the longest time at number one this year with 8 non-consecutive weeks in the penthouse, Prince returned with his latest collection '3121' and did not disappoint. From the funky opener '3121' to 'Lolita', a pop number driven by a synth bass line, followed by the Latin-tinged 'Te Amo Corazon', followed by the funk jam of 'Black Sweat', succeeded by the vocoder-driven 'Incense and Candles' in which Prince pulls off a fast southern rap, before the funky futuristic 'Love'. Next we have the seductive ballad 'Satisfied', before the fan favourite funk-rock of 'Fury', before the jazzy 'The Word'. Finally, the album closes with the upbeat 'Beautiful, Loved & Blessed' in which Prince teams up with his newest protege, Tamar, followed by the moody piano-driven 'The Dance', finished by the James Brown inspired 'Get On The Boat'. An amazing album, with no significant low points, this album is a funk essential which proves that Prince has indeed returned to form.

Download: 'Love', 'Beautiful, Loved & Blessed', 'Fury'
Miss: N/A
Next single: N/A

20 - Orson - No Tomorrow (552,612, peaked at #1 for 2 weeks from February to March) silver.jpg
Chart Run: 29-13-4-{1}-1-2-4-5-5-6-6-7-11-17-33>15 weeks
This upbeat 80s rock revival song took the UK by storm and it showed in the downloads - No Tomorrow became iTunes Most Downloaded Song EVER in a week! ohmy.gif

19 - Carola - Invincible (556,754, peaked at #1 for a week in June) silver.jpg
Chart Run: 8-4-{1}-2-5-12-20-25>8 weeks
This upbeat feel-good pop song was Sweden's entry into last year's Eurovision Song Contest, and was ROBBED mad.gif It still made 5th place on 170 points though, so not too much to be angry about happy.gif

The bints don't have Fury's video mad.gif

IPB ImageIPB Image

18 - Justin Timberlake feat. Timbaland - SexyBack (563,946, peaked at #2 for two weeks from July to August) silver.jpg
Chart Run: 9-3-{2}-2-3-6-38-24-15-6-13-17>12 weeks
Justin's comeback was a slick Prince inspired urban track that dominated my summer but was blocked from number one by my definitive summer number, 'Ain't No Other Man'. Slightly cruel this one, as I now prefer this to that laugh.gif

17 - Prince - Fury (564,107, peaked at #2 for a week in March) silver.jpg
Chart Run: 22-3-{2}-3-3-5-8-12-25-38-OUT-16R(2)-10-13-16-29-37-39-39-38-38-34>21 weeks
This one was also robbed, although in this case I doubt Prince will be too unhappy as he was blocked by his very own 'Black Sweat'! laugh.gif

Chart Run: 4-{1}-1-3-1-2-3-6-8-17>10 weeks
The biggest seller of the year in the UK charts doesn't sell QUITE as much in my chart, but was still relatively successful. Fell completely out of my chart once Smiley Faces went top twenty ohmy.gif

One of the best tracks on 3121, this futuristic funk took my chart by storm in April and leaves many happy memories of the time with it! wub.gif

14 - Rihanna - SOS (Rescue Me) (719,052, peaked at number one for a week in March) silver.jpg

THE hit of the Spring, Rihanna didn't take long to get to number one with this little number. However, Gnarls kept this fab tune from number one in the UK charts, which is a real shame as Rihanna really does deserve a number one by now laugh.gif

13 - Nelly Furtado - Maneater (742,212, peaked at number one for a week in June) silver.jpg
Chart Run: 14-9-8-6-4-{1}-4-7-7-12-30-29>12 weeks
Nelly shocked everyone with this dark, stomping hit, which deserved EVERY bit of its success in the UK charts. This is the third of Nelly's four entries in this chart - where will Promiscuous chart? ohmy.gif

Perhaps surprisingly, Rihanna's number two smash outsold her number one smash! ohmy.gif This ballad about cheating on your lover (laugh.gif!) was a main fixture of many summer playlists and is still fondly remembered. happy.gif

11 - Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars (882,746, peaked at number 1 for a week in August) gold.jpg
Chart Run: 9-{1}-2-4-7-10-13-19-30>9 weeks
Here we have a fixture of many year end top 5s! This song packed a LOT of airplay for me in a small time - hence the quick fall from my chart and hence me despising it now cry.gif

Fergie made her presence known with this stomping hip hop track which (audaciously!) knocked Christina from my number one. Who could know a song this dirty could be this good? Oh, and the use of Tower Bridge was intentional because London Bridge is boring laugh.gif
