January 8, 20241 yr 2006 rightfully slaying here. I voted it back then as it was just a standout year and when I got back into following the charts properly!
January 8, 20241 yr So many good years, in face they’re all great. I think clearly on a personal level it’s 2007.
January 9, 20241 yr 2006 for me, I don't recall any other year I felt so happy in my life, and the music played such a huge part in that. The charts that summer - for me - were as perfect as they are ever going to get - Shakira, Nelly Furtado, Rogue Traders, Lily Allen, Cascada and various others all smashing simultaneously??? A dream. And so many albums released that I still adore today, from Lily Allen, Take That, The Pipettes, Nelly Furtado, All Saints etc and others I became aware of for the first time that year - The Veronicas, Nerina Pallot, Carrie Underwood and so many more. Everything about that year, to me, was amazing.
January 11, 20241 yr Went for 2000, such a big year for dance music (the biggest until 2014 perhaps) and quite a lot of classics from other genres! The charts were fast and interesting. Edited January 11, 20241 yr by TheSnake
January 11, 20241 yr I decided to vote for 2006 because I had turned 13 then and was really into music by that stage. There was a good mixture of genres such as indie, electro, R&B and pop.She Moves in Her Own Way by The Kooks gives me fond memories of the long hot summer we had that year.

January 12, 20241 yr Yes that Centre Parcs advert has reminded me how good that era was for All Saints. Stepd Stomñ BEST MUSIC YEAR EVER Thought it was Sandstorm (Darude) that you misspelt there for a moment but that as well......
January 12, 20241 yr That, Toca's Miracle, Hey Boy, Hey Girl, Here Superstar Preachers (1999), too! also including: Toca's Miracle Sonique x2 IFSG and Sky Perfecto - Bullet In The Gun Delerium - Silence York - On The Beach Freestyler - Bomfunk Mc's Zombie Nation Heart of Asia - Watergate Sash - Adelante Luvstruck - Southside Spinners Storm - Time To Burn Moving Too Fast - Artful Dodger Flowers - Sweet Female Attitude +lots more garage and unpoppy trance songs making top 20 such a strong year for dance + Modjo, Spiller and Madison Avenue, but they are a bit overrated though imo, as are You See The Trouble... and Casualty (Bound 4 The Reload) to a lesser degree. The fact all 5 got to #1 though.... Edited January 15, 20241 yr by TheSnake
January 13, 20241 yr I went for 2003. As others have mentioned, this was when I started following the charts properly. My memories of 2000-2001 are a bit hazy music-wise as I didn't yet have a radio in my bedroom, but 2002 changed that! I think 2002-2006 was the peak period of the decade for me, probably because music from that time has the strongest memories attached to it. For the later part of the decade I think 2008 was a stand-out.
