This was harder than I thought it was going to be - I always overlook 2005 in terms of music but it was actually really good across the board of genres.

According to Wikipedia, '(Is This The Way To) Amarillo' was "a re-issue of the original version and not a re-recording", so if that's correct, maybe it technically should've been skipped :thinking: Which would've replaced a song nobody's voted with... Bobby Valentino's 'Slow Down' which I presume isn't something that would be popular here but I don't really know it.

 

Shoutout to 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' for managing to be top 100 in 2 years and top 75 in neither. 'Numb/Encore', which was released in November 2004, also managed to do the same in... 2005 and 2006?! I was going to say it would be ~#44 of 2005 if its 2004-2005 sales were within one year, but that takes it even further. A shame it's not the original 'Numb' which would've been my +20 of 2003 had it, y'know, sold about triple what it probably actually did.
