2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: Might as well leave it here. It doesn't get much better than this. I feel like it's a rule that everyone British my age must love this song. Easily one of my all-time favourite songs. Damn you Duffy for keeping this off number one.

Chart Run: 32-19-27-39-50-60-98 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: I'm shocked this became a hit, it sounds so ordinary and unremarkable. The beat sounds like it would make a good Craig David song though.

2nd Highest Hit: But It's Better If You Do (#23)

 

 

Comment: This is a decent track but how wasn't I Write Sins Not Tragedies not a hit? That is one of the best rock tracks of the 00's whilst this is just good.

Peak: 20

Chart Run: 20-23-38-64 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Made-Up Lovesong Number 43 (#23)

 

 

Comment: I can't really take this seriously after they've went to the ZAYN school of capital letters for their name. The song is a bit cheesy really.

2nd Highest Hit: 21st Century Life (#44)

 

 

Comment: This is a song that everyone loved that I always hated. I've always found this incredibly irritating and overplayed. Possiblt the only songs that ever been on a FIFA that I've disliked.

2nd Highest Hit: Hurricane Jane (#36)

 

 

Comment: I like this song. It's different and catchy but it loses points for having it's video blocked in the U.K.

The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement

 

Peak: 09

Chart Run: 24-9-21-31-51-82 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Standing Next To Me (#30)

 

 

Comment: I do like The Arctic Monkeys & Miles Kane has done some decent things but this song is so dull. Sounds very much like an album track.

2nd Highest Hit: Brave (#48)

 

 

Comment: I do really enjoy this track. I remember this coming out at around the same time as some quite similar MOR-ish songs (Feist, Powter, Merriweather) but this was easily my favourite of them all. Very catchy chorus.

2nd Highest Hit: Burnin' Up/When You Look Me In The Eyes (#30)

 

 

Comment: This is really bad. :lol: Thankfully Nick Jonas' music has improved vastly from this to Jealous. Only Kevin left until all three of these have had hits following this song.

Kid Rock - All Summer Long

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 46-6-3-2-1-2-2-3-6-7-9-13-18-23-27-40-45-58-71-70-58-70-(x)-72-76-78 (25 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: American Bad Ass (#25)

 

 

Comment: I'm so conflicted over this song. On one side it's absolutely awful but the nostalgia of not having any internet and having to use Teletext to copy out the top 40 into books is brilliant. And, to be fair this is nothing like anything else that's been a hit since so at least its novel.

2nd Highest Hit: Freaky Like Me (#46)

 

 

Comment: :wub: :wub: :wub: Easily one of the best songs of all-time and certainly one of the most cruellest forgotten. I must of heard this songs hundreds of times and I still love it.

Comment: I used to like this one back when and listening to it back, it remains as good as always. Forgot how dark it was though. Love how it stars innocent, then gets proper serious than return to opening line to end.

2nd Highest Hit: And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going (#32)

 

 

Comment: Shocked this never quite managed to reach the top 10, it seemed big at the time. It's actually a pretty nice R&B ballad .
