Although it's interesting, I'm glad I'm not listening to this. It seems a poor representation of the millennium so far given the sales collapse we had from 2003-2006.

119. Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)

 

 

2000

#1

 

A good old early 2000s dance music one-hit wonder. It introduced the world to its uncredited featured vocalist Sophie Ellis-Bextor who'd go on to have reasonable chart success in her own right, scoring two #2 hits but never hitting #1 again.

Surprised that Florence & The Machine song is so high up- shows the strong sales of 2009-2011 period!

118. Example - Changed The Way You Kiss Me

 

 

2011

#1

 

Example's biggest hit to date, the first of two #1s off his third studio album 'Playing In The Shadows' (also a #1). I'm in a minority that prefers follow-up #1 hit 'Stay Awake' but both of these are incredible songs.

 

People viewing the thread, don't be scared to comment and make it look less like I'm talking to myself :P

Where's Eric when you need him? :lol:

117. LeAnn Rimes - Can't Fight The Moonlight

 

 

2000

#1

 

A rare 'country' singer in the UK charts but this song is far from country - I can tell from the fact it's actually quite good :P LeAnn's only other song of note was in the 90s (1998's 'How Do I Live') and she's flopped of late, 2011 album 'Lady & Gentlemen' reaching just #96.

Tuned in to listen online... Half of the time they're talking about the dvd videos they're bravely using... So THIS is RADIO in 2012 then?

 

I get that Jason Mraz's video is full of clichés but so are the presenters :D

I heartedly recommend you just follow it on here! :lol:

116. Jessie J - Domino

 

 

2011/2

#1

 

The second appearance from Ms. J, slightly less horrifically awful than 'Do It Like A Dude'. This song, from the Platinum Edition of debut album 'Who You Are', became her second #1 hit earlier this year as well as going top 10 in the USA.

I got the impression that that Fearne Cotton person has had a job on tv before which is nice because she's clearly not a radio presenter.

 

Reggie I already knew and he was awful as usual but hey what can you do.

ha, ha, its Xmas... :lol:

It feels very Christmassy at the moment :lol: I usually hate listening to Xmas songs when it's not Xmas but this is an exception, what a great song!

Fearne Cotton whores herself out everywhere. Dreadful woman. Excellent countdown so far. I'm following on here, rather than enduring the crap barrage of presenters on R1.

115. The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York

 

 

1987 + various seasonal re-entries

#2 (#3 during the millennium)

 

The greatest Christmas song of all time, enough said. A bit strange to hear it in May but such is the nature of the countdown.

I'm back from having a life! :D

 

I love Can't Fight the Moonlight, Groovejet, You've Got the Love, The Ketchup Song (a classic from when I was younger), Valerie, Do It Like a Dude and Leave Right Now! :wub: So wierd to hear a Christmas song in May! :D

Will Mariah Feature?

Taking over from Bre at 11am for an hour, if anyone wants a gig for an hour or 2, let me know.

It really says something when the best hosted bits of a chart show are the news during the show.

 

OH DEAR GOD HELPING HAITI GOING TO THE GYM BYE

114. Helping Haiti - Everybody Hurts

 

 

2010

#1

 

The earthquake in Haiti in 2010 was obviously a horrible tragedy and I don't wish to make light of it at all but another horrible side effect of it is that we had to sit through two #1 weeks of this ultra dreary cover of the R.E.M. classic by a variety of X Factor artists and other guests. This seemed to be the end of successful charity songs until the equally dull Military Wives thing showed up at Christmas last year.

I actually liked this song but I really detest Military Wives. I forgot they were still to come :puke:
