Song from FlashForward. The Horrors suprisingly brilliant comeback track. Vampire Weekend's first single from new album. Second entries for Animal Collective and Kong. Drums with brilliance. Dan Deacon with a bit of a cheat as it wasn't a single, he needed to be in a chart of some sort though.

Fantastic start.
December 8, 200915 yr 40 | Metric - Sick Muse 39 | The xx - Islands 38 | The Futureheads - Struck Dumb 37 | Little Boots - Remedy 36 | Paramore - Ignorance 35 | Jay-Z - Empire State Of Mind (feat.

Popularr stuff from Little Boots. Jay-Z's ode to New York and some White Lies. YaaaY! All of these are good songs. Empire State of Mind has grown on me so much recently, it's epic.'Remedy' and 'Farewell to the Fairground' are other personal favourites. I like 'Struck Dumb' but it's not hit me like a lot of their singles do. I'm sure it will though...
December 8, 200915 yr 30 | Bloc Party - One More Chance 29 | Maximo Park - Questing, Not Coasting 28 | Ellie Goulding - Under The Sheets 27 | Tubelord - Propeller 26 | The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale 25 | Passion Pit - Moth's Wings 24 | Lady GaGa - Bad Romance 23 | Frank Turner - Poetry Of The Deed 22 | Marina & The Diamonds - Mowgli's Road 21 | The xx - Crystalised Bloc Party's throwback to the late 80s, early 90s. Maximo's grower. Under-rated Killers. GaGa's best track by some distance. Frank. Marina's highest entry. I'm not so fussed with this one. Ellie, GaGa, Marina and xx are all good. I found the Killers, Maximo Park and Bloc Party singles pretty underwhelming though.
December 8, 200915 yr Will comment when you finish the list but 'Brother Sport' is my favourite so far. :D
