February 14, 201114 yr I want to know how on earth Raghav was ever in a position to get 2 top 10 hits.
February 14, 201114 yr Quite an awful chart, I like these: 03.Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers 09.The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize 10.Ciara feat. Petey Pablo - Goodies :blush: 13.Uniting Nations - Out of Touch 14.Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Numb / Encore 16.Athlete - Wires 18.Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams 30.Scissor Sisters - Filthy/Gorgeous 35.Lemar - If There's Any Justice 45.Kylie Minogue - I Believe In You 50.The Killers - Somebody Told Me {2005} 57.Eric Prydz - Call On Me 58.Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten 66.Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? 75.House Of Pain - Jump Around {2004}
February 14, 201114 yr Looking at my hundred most listened to tracks, Numb/Encore (:wub:) and Like Toy Soldiers (:wub:) are there. :D I think that's it though. I can't even remember half of those songs! :o That said, I don't even know all the songs in this week's top 40, so I shouldn't be too hard on myself. :lol: Others that I've listened to recently are Call on Me (I listen to this a LOT), What You Waiting For?, I Believe in You, Unwritten and If There's Any Justice! Some fantastic songs in there!!! :wub: Edited February 14, 201114 yr by Eric_Blob
February 14, 201114 yr I want to know how on earth Raghav was ever in a position to get 2 top 10 hits. Well, it was much easier to get top 10 in those days *shrug* The most random top 10 hit from this chart was surely Hanson (who got to #10) - you wouldn't think they had a top 10 hit as recently as 2005 when most people associate them as a mere memory of 1997! I remember all of them except #53 (which doesn't even ring a bell artist-wise) but then I did use to watch the music channels like a hawk back then. Some really terrible stuff here, though... crappy Busted-wannabes, Fierce Girl, Uniting Nations, Good Charlotte, Destiny's Child (love them but this song was TERRIBLE, along with most of that album), and the dreaded Elvis re-releases!! My faves: 05.Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem - Almost Here 06.Doves - Black and White Town 08.Ashanti - Only U 09.The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize 10.Ciara feat. Petey Pablo - Goodies 12.Daniel Bedingfield - Wrap My Words Around You 15.Xzibit - Hey Now (Mean Muggin') 17.Lucie Silvas - Breathe In 19.Bloc Party - So Here We Are/Positive Tension 23.The Kills - The Good Ones 28.Ashlee Simpson - La La 30.Scissor Sisters - Filthy/Gorgeous 34.Rooster - Staring At The Sun 35.Lemar - If There's Any Justice 36.The Beautiful South - This Will Be Our Year 45.Kylie Minogue - I Believe In You 46.Mylo - Destroy Rock And Roll 49.Feeder - Tumble And Fall 50.The Killers - Somebody Told Me {2005} 55.Kasabian - Cutt Off 56.Commander Tom - Attention! 58.Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten 59.Nelly & Christina Aguilera - Tilt Ya Head Back 61.Ian Brown - Time Is My Everything 63.Girls Aloud - I'll Stand By You 66.Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? 68.The Wedding Present - I'm From Further North Than You 70.Erasure - Breathe Edited February 14, 201114 yr by superbossanova
February 14, 201114 yr Oh, dear, 'Numb/Encore'. That has been in the Top 20 for weeks (checked the chart run last year). Ridiculous. =/ Edited February 14, 201114 yr by FM11
February 14, 201114 yr Oh, dear, 'Numb/Encore'. That has been in the Top 20 for weeks (checked the chart run last year). Ridiculous. =/ I know, such a shame. :( Such an iconic song of this time for me. I wasn't interested in chart statistics at the time, so I didn't know it's peak, chart run, etc, but it was a massive part of my life then. It was as popular as a #1 based on my life. :lol:
February 14, 201114 yr The charts were very odd at this time, trust me. Sales were pitifully low and there were regularly about half of a dozen new entries in the top 10 every week, fanbase acts thrived, and there were some bizarre top 10 hits. Numb/Encore probably could have peaked higher if it wasn't for that fact - it's hard to climb when there's loads of new entries entering above you every week. Uniting Nations kinda suffered from that, too - they only peaked at #8 I think but it was a lot more popular than the peak suggests... Edited February 14, 201114 yr by superbossanova

It must of been weird to have 2 songs with Solider(s) in the title in the top 5.
February 14, 201114 yr Author A bit of a silly request but do any of you guys know the rest of the chart that week? I am interested in key names and new entries. Further more here is my 10p worth: 01.U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - Nah 02.Elvis Presley - Wooden Heart {2005} - That got on my tits! How dare he claim the 1000th number one? 03.Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers - bast*rdised sample of a classic song. 04.Destiny's Child/Ti/Lil Wayne - Soldier - Ewwwww. That whole album is terrible bar "Lose my Breath" and "Girl". Luckily I bought it for about £1.09 used on Amazon in a slipcase with "Survivor". 05.Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem - Almost Here - Decent ballad. 06.Doves - Black and White Town - Decent. 07.Raghav - Angel Eyes - Ewwwwwww 08.Ashanti - Only U - I quite like this :) 09.The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize - Weird video, but decent tune. 10.Ciara feat. Petey Pablo - Goodies - Otherwise known as the "Car Alarm Song" in my house. 11.The Noise Next Door - Calendar Girl - Busted wannabees with a cheap sounding song. 12.Daniel Bedingfield - Wrap My Words Around You - Drivel. 13.Uniting Nations - Out of Touch - Classic :) 14.Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Numb / Encore - Not too fond of it. 15.Xzibit - Hey Now (Mean Muggin' - Gangsta rap $h!t. 16.Athlete - Wires - Liked it back then, been bored to tears of it now. 17.Lucie Silvas - Breathe In - Great song. Very decent mid-tempo guitar ballad. Where is she now? 18.Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams - No ta. 19.Bloc Party - So Here We Are/Positive Tension - Don't know 20.Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight? {2005} - NO. 21.Good Charlotte - I Just Wanna Live - The guy who I was with (I had a four yr relationship with him) had a sister who was obsessed with these bands, and to be honest I did like this! 22.Freefaller - Do This! Do That! - Crap, but one of them was quite sexy. 23.The Kills - The Good Ones - Don't know 24.Lovefreekz - Shine - Don't know 25.The Duke Spirit - Lion Rip - Don't know 26.One World Project - Grief Never Grows Old - Ewwwww. I know it was for a good cause, but my that was a granny song. 27.Elvis Presley - It's Now Or Never {2005} - An Elvis song I can abide. 28.Ashlee Simpson - La La - Where are the Simpsons Sisters now? Are they in a briotherl selling themselves for $40 where they belong? Annoying. 29.Hanson - Penny And Me - This was surpsingly good :) 30.Scissor Sisters - Filthy/Gorgeous - LOVE!!! 31.Elvis Presley - One Night/I Got Stung {2005} - NO! 32.Elvis Presley - A Fool Such As I/I Need Your Love Tonight {2005} - NO! 33.Duran Duran - What Happens Tomorrow - Meh 34.Rooster - Staring At The Sun - My fav song in this chart. Underrated band and a very meaningful ballad. 35.Lemar - If There's Any Justice - Boring. 36.The Beautiful South - This Will Be Our Year - Don't know. 37.Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock {2005} - Like :) 38.Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds - EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW 39.Dana Rayne - Object Of My Desire - Don't know. 40.Cam'ron Featuring Mona Lisa - Girls - More rap shoite. 42.Stonebridge feat. Therese - Take Me Away - Boring. 45.Kylie Minogue - I Believe In You - I like this :) 48.Ronan Keating feat. Yusuf - Father and Son - Very good cover. 50.The Killers - Somebody Told Me {2005} - CLASSIC! 54.Darius - Live Twice - Very meaningful ballad written about the passing of his father. 62.Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast {2005} - My Dad and I each bought a copy to make this the 1000th number 1. 63.Girls Aloud - I'll Stand By You - Love this :) 71.Phixx - Strange Love - Underrated song by a very decent boyband.
February 14, 201114 yr Faves and comments on this top 75. I hated early 2005 for chart music for the most part by the way - truly awful, mainly because as superbossanova said, it was driven by one week wonder fanbase buys and completely random minor hits by nobodies; 03.Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers Actually one of my favourite songs of his 05.Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem - Almost Here Despite despising McFadden, they do work well together musically - I've liked all of their duets - this was simple yet a really nice ballad, gutted that an Elvis re-issue kept it from peaking at #2 :( Definitely the last time we'll ever see Delta in the UK top 5 :snif: 13.Uniting Nations - Out of Touch 14.Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Numb / Encore 17.Lucie Silvas - Breathe In 24.Lovefreekz - Shine 28.Ashlee Simpson - La La - 33.Duran Duran - What Happens Tomorrow 39.Dana Rayne - Object Of My Desire This was most definitely a random top ten hit, cheesy Eurodance by an absolute nobody, and fondly remembered by basically nobody :lol: 41.Soul Central feat. Kathy Brown - Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own) 42.Stonebridge feat. Therese - Take Me Away 44.Motiv 8 - Riding On The Wings Was this the peak for this song? Terrible if so, I loved it! 45.Kylie Minogue - I Believe In You 48.Ronan Keating feat. Yusuf - Father and Son 56.Commander Tom - Attention! Actually really liked this, forgot it existed! 58.Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten 63.Girls Aloud - I'll Stand By You 66.Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? 73.Michael Gray - The Weekend 75.House Of Pain - Jump Around {2004} Was this re-released physically? Must have been :o
February 14, 201114 yr The Dana Rayne song was very weird - it sounded an awful lot like the XTM song from 2003 and even the video was similar (in fact I'm sure the same animated guy was in both :/)... were the two related somehow? :wacko: (apart from by the fact that I hated both!) I remember it was on The Box loads back then, though, so I wasn't *too* surprised it was a hit - though you're right it is totally random looking back! rPpT4M_xYhc Edited February 14, 201114 yr by superbossanova
February 14, 201114 yr ^ I LOVE that song. And the video is...interesting!! :lol: I don't remember it from back then though. :( Which is a shame, because there's a load of 2005 I hear all the time which I HATE, and then there's some really good ones which nobody cares about anymore. :(

I remember it was on The Box loads back then, though, so I wasn't *too* surprised it was a hit - though you're right it is totally random looking back! I agree with you, I was about to make the same comparison. Difference being that I liked it (although not enough to buy it) but I LOVED the XTM song, which I bought half way through it's completely bizarre 3 months yo-yoing between 8-12 chart run, although probably because at heart it was a Eurovision winner :lol: But indeed, I'm surprised they didn't claim for damages, I read somewhere that she was from the US, which seems like an odd breeding ground for what seems like a cheap Eurocheese anthem. I don't think I had anything but the main 4 channels in 2005 so I never saw or heard it anywhere, it felt like it just appeared in the top ten one week :lol: Even so, even if The Box hammered that type of song now, with no radio support it would get nowhere.
February 14, 201114 yr Is it just me or was this also a really random top 10 hit (later in 2005)? bZh3Nj7HuEo I wasn't really following the charts at the time.
February 14, 201114 yr Is it just me or was this also a really random top 10 hit (later in 2005)? bZh3Nj7HuEo I wasn't really following the charts at the time. I was actually expecting that one to be bigger! At one point I thought it would go top 3 as looped 80's house reworkings were very much the in thing at the time.
February 14, 201114 yr 01.U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own 03.Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers 04.Destiny's Child/Ti/Lil Wayne - Soldier :mellow: easily their worst 05.Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem - Almost Here :wub: loved this, was gutted it didn't get to #01 08.Ashanti - Only U 10.Ciara feat. Petey Pablo - Goodies :wub: 11.The Noise Next Door - Calendar Girl :mellow: I despised this band! 13.Uniting Nations - Out of Touch :heart: 15.Xzibit - Hey Now (Mean Muggin' :unsure: wasn't this Keri Hilson's first UK appearance 16.Athlete - Wires :mellow: I hated this with a passion was absolutely awful 17.Lucie Silvas - Breathe In :wub: would love her to come back, she had a great set of 4 singles 18.Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams :wub: their best 21.Good Charlotte - I Just Wanna Live 22.Freefaller - Do This! Do That! :lol: what happend to them? 24.Lovefreekz - Shine :unsure: I remember this being totally overrated on hit40uk at the time and they kept saying it was going to be huge ... 28.Ashlee Simpson - La La - 29.Hanson - Penny And Me :puke2: I can't bare this song at all, they play it at Morrisons 30.Scissor Sisters - Filthy/Gorgeous 35.Lemar - If There's Any Justice 39.Dana Rayne - Object Of My Desire :wub: this was amazing, when I was dj'ing I often played it and it always got people up :lol:
February 16, 201114 yr OBJECT OF MY DESIRE!!!!! Absolutely loved it. As said, played a lot on The Box and I was really pleased when it went top 10, even though it only sold something tiny like a few thousand copies. Extremely obscure these days (can't find the proper version on iTunes or Spotify, only remixes) but I listened to loads of that stuff at the time. Eyeopener's 'Hungry Eyes' a few months earlier was also a favourite, and obviously XTM I adored too :D Other than the odd great, a pretty dull chart at one of music's lowest points ever, downloads still weren't included (and weren't as popular anyway) so it's one of the last ever 100% physical charts.
