Maroon 5 - This Love.

 

Been voting it since Eamon went out but maybe if I post about it it'll get more votes :P

I voted for the Osbournes. Sorry, it just had to be done. :(

Anw, Ozzy & Kelly Osbourne - Changes

Eric Prydz. An appalling song that pretty much exemplifies everything wrong with dance music (even down to the video) :puke2: Although I have to take my hat off to him for being smart enough to make a quick buck so easily.

 

Have to say I don't hate much left. 2004 (and 2005) is an underrated year on this forum that gets way too much stick just because people here hate urban music.

2004 was good, we had some great songs come through - its just not reflected in this list :lol: 2005 was amazing though- I'll never get all the stick for that

 

anyway :cheer: at Girls Aloud going out this early, my vote goes to Ozzy and Kelly this round

 

 

Ozzy/Kelly again. Personally, love Maroon 5.

Mind you, you have 2 Boogie Pimps in the poll! The second is instead of McFly.

 

I don't know what to vote against, for this round it will be Maroon 5 but I might change it in the following rounds.

2004 was good, we had some great songs come through - its just not reflected in this list :lol: 2005 was amazing though- I'll never get all the stick for that

 

anyway :cheer: at Girls Aloud going out this early, my vote goes to Ozzy and Kelly this round

I disagree - Yeah!, Left Outside Alone, Toxic, Lose My Breath, Dry Your Eyes, Lola's Theme, Hey Ya!, Mad World and Kelis x2 are all great songs by my book. Plus there are quite a few more I like.

 

But yeah, there were of course plenty of great songs not on this list (like Ja Rule for instance :kink: Just kidding, although I do like that song) - but that's the same as any other year.

 

I think most of the hate for 2005 comes from people who like pop (of the more pure variety, which wasn't exactly thriving that year, bar a few acts like Girls Aloud and Sugababes; pop music in America was almost non-existent in the mainstream) and dance music. Plus, like I said, urban was thriving in these years and a lot of people here absolutely hate that genre a lot of the time. I do think 2005 gave us a lot of memorable chart hits though.

 

I haven't spoken to many people about 2003 on here, so I'll be interested to see the reception to that year. I know that gooddelta hates it but that only one member :lol: I loved 2003 as well, although it was my first year of secondary school for most of that year so a lot of memories there. It did have quite a bit of urban again though, but I'm not sure how much of that infiltrated through into the top 40 year-end off the top of my head. I'd have to check and see.

^Looking back at 2005, I actually really loved that year. It was the start of my secondary school, as well, so lots of things from the latter part I remember really well. 2004 is comparatively meh.

 

2003 looks slightly better. There's more in there that I know than I thought I would.

2003 was great imo, I actually thought nearly all of the number 1s were well deserved, plus the best sellers list is great mainly- again, there were some great ones that didn't make the list - Seven Nation Army, Hurt :(

2003 was great imo, I actually thought nearly all of the number 1s were well deserved, plus the best sellers list is great mainly- again, there were some great ones that didn't make the list - Seven Nation Army, Hurt :(

Hurt wasn't even close to making the list though, seeing as it only scraped the top 40 :heehee: I guess it's surprising looking back now, but at the time it definitely wasn't. I'm not sure I even heard the song at the time and he hadn't had a hit in decades so if anything it was a bit of a surprise he got top 40, despite the rave reviews it was probably getting.

 

Same with Seven Nation Army, really. I do recall it getting a lot of heavy airplay on MTV2 but that often didn't translate into a high chart position a lot of the time, so it getting to #7 was a bit of a surprise. It is of course a fantastic song, though.

 

I agree that 2003 was a good year for the genuine hits getting to #1, mainly because of the slow turnover in comparison to most of the surrounding years. Looking at the year-end top 40 now there's not as much urban as I would have expected, although it didn't really start taking off until the summer (with memories of my sister playing Lumidee and Blu Cantrell's songs to death while we were on holiday that year :lol:)... surprised that Busta Rhymes & Mariah made it into the top 40 though - I love it but I fear it's prime for an early exit once all the obvious candidates have gone (Shane Richie, Gareth Gates, Fatman Scoop, Fast Food Rockers) :cry: Especially since I'm not sure how many people will even remember it.

Where's McFly? I was gonna vote them off..
