Chart Facts

 

- Airplanes spent 9 weeks in the Top 20, but peaked at only #9

- Holiday is the lowest peaking song to make the Top 100 at #15

- Vampire Weekend have 3 entries in total; Mumford & Sons, Arcade Fire & Fenech-Soler have 2 entries in the Top 100

- Stop For A Minute, peaking at #4, is lower than quite a few entries that peaked outside the Top 10

I like all the tracks so far, but I got bored with Maroon 5 so quickly, it failed to reach top 20 for me, it just lingered in the bottom half of the chart for about 5 to 6 weeks.

Thanks Rich! Glad you enjoy my Top 10s. 2008 was a great year for music. It all feels so nostalgic now!

Thank M!key. Despite great peaks from Maroon 5 & Keane, I don't listen to those songs anymore. I've really gone off of them.

I'm surprised Crystal Castles are that low with "Celestica", but I expect Not In Love to be a lot higher, from the above I like Plan B, Kele Okereke, Mark Ronson, MGMT and Example.

Agreed Jamie. I used to really like the song, but I nowadays I skip it on my iPod.

Celestica is a fantastic song and it's too bad I didn't appreciate it as much when it was released. Thank god I didn't with Not In Love though!

Thank you for the replies.

- Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart took 10 weeks to peak at #2

- Silvia is the highest peaking non-Top 3 song in the Top 100, besting #1 songs from Katy Perry, The Temper Trap & Yeasayer

- Delphic is #21 for the 2nd year in a row in the Top 100; Doubt #21 in 2009 & Halycon #21 in 2010

20 Ellie Goulding: Guns & Horses (Peak: 2 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/8177/elliegouldingik.jpg

 

 

- After debuting at #21, Guns & Horses rocketed to #1 and spent 8 weeks in the Top 3

- Ellie's single choices have been rather hit or miss with me, but I think Guns & Horses is her best song to date, which I had on repeat during the Spring

19 Primary 1 f/ Nina Persson: The Blues (Peak: 2 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/7774/primary1.jpg

 

 

- The Blues was a sure fire #1 song, spending 2 weeks at the top

- I had never heard of Primary 1 prior, but the name Nina Persson immediately drew me to this song, considering how amazing The Cardigans work have been over the years

18 Tiësto f/ Emily Haines: Knock You Out (Peak: #3)

 

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6610/tiestod.jpg

 

 

- Knock You Out, spent 7 weeks in the Top 5, despite peaking at only #3, had great chart longevity even beyond its peak

- Not released as a single, this had been a stand out track for me & has become my favourite Tiësto song featuring the vocals of an incredible female musician
