January 23Jan 23 Author 64 - 31/10/2005 Maximo Park - Apply Some PressureChart Run: 02-01-01-02-03-02-05-11-15-16-17-21-26-29-29-25-28-33 (18 weeks)After a fortnight of one of the biggest acts and songs of the year being at the top, it's a fortnight for another one of them (well for me, at least!) as Maximo Park get their second number one with the best known single from their debut album, Apply Some Pressure. It was originally released in February and had also entered at #2 for me behind Dakota, it was something I really enjoyed but hadn't yet reached the levels of obsession I would do - it had a solid run for a decent sized hit, but at the time wasn't ever going to challenge the Phonics. But over the course of the year I'd begin to love it (and them) so much more, a re-release put it just three places higher in the UK (#17 after #20 in its original release) and again entered my own chart at #2 behind the Arctic Monkeys forcefield, but it would go on to get a deserved fortnight at the top. With two releases and an album I played continuously, this will without a doubt have been my most played song of the year.Apply Some Pressure is a song which completely typified the mid noughties British indie scene for me - it's nothing groundbreaking but a great, singable, danceable 3 minutes of fun. It's still a top favourite from this era, and of what you'd describe as the 'second tier' of indie bands in terms of commercial success, no one else came close to having as good a duo of signature hits as Maximo Park - the other half to come in ~18 months. 2026 Rating: 10/10The top 4 were the same in both weeks, with Arctic Monkeys dropping a place and Rebellion (Lies) still sticking around at #4. Goldfrapp were the most significant entry within this fortnight, with Number One between them at #3. There was a top 10 debut for The Feeling with the initial release of Fill My Little World, four months before they'd enter the UK chart for the first time.
January 25Jan 25 Author 65 - 14/11/2005 Arcade Fire - Wake UpChart Run: 01-01-03-09-14-19-21-23-27-32-33-32-36-37 (14 weeks)Just three number one songs between two from the same act equals The Killers from summer of 2004, as Arcade Fire soon followed up the success of Rebellion (Lies) with the next single, Wake Up. In the previous couple of months I'd listened to Funeral a hell of a lot, and loved everything on it to some extent. There were only maybe a couple of songs that they could have chosen as the next single that wouldn't have made the top spot, but Wake Up was certainly a worthy choice, another great example of the contrast between Win and Regine's vocals, and typical of their excellent use of so many different instruments.I'd probably rank it somewhere in the middle of the 10 songs on Funeral, it's still excellent and a song I've listened to a lot, but not right towards the top of their discography - maybe just about making it if I created a 15ish song 'Best of Arcade Fire' playlist.2025 Rating: 8/10Songs kept from #1: Stereophonics - RewindA week ahead of Apply Some Pressure before Stereophonics came close to making it a trio of number ones for the year with Rewind, a song more similar to their last couple of albums than the previous singles from this one. Gorillaz - Dirty Harry (#6) and Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia (#15) the highlights of other entries from this fortnight, the latter definitely feels under-charted but it was over a year old at this point.
January 26Jan 26 Author 66 - 28/11/2005 The Futureheads - AreaChart Run: 01-03-04-04-03-04-05-10-14-14-18-18-26-31-37 (15 weeks)Following the relative success of their debut album, The Futureheads got a second UK top 20 hit with a standalone single released in the runup to Christmas 2005 in Area, not featured on any of their albums. And like their other top 20 hit, it hit #1 in my own chart. They had been a favourite of mine throughout the year and a new single was always likely something I enjoyed - it was nothing new or different for them, very much 'more of the same' but their sound was still incredibly unique as far as mid-00s indie bands went.Area certainly ranks towards the top of The Futureheads discography. They're still a band I enjoy listening to every now and again, and their earlier stuff tends to be what I go to most.2026 Rating: 8/10Apply Some Pressure climbed back up to the runners-up spot for this week. Oasis had the highest charting other entry with Let There Be Love, reaching #5 - a good effort but some way below the ballad singles from their previous album.
January 26Jan 26 Nice, 'Wake Up' was a big hit too. I didn't wanna mention that earlier because I had rediscovered it was released after 'Rebellion (Lies)'.I tend to associate 'Wake Up' with the Where The Wild Things Are movie (though it was only for promotional purposes).
January 26Jan 26 Author 67 - 05/12/2005 Röyksopp 'What Else Is There?'Chart Run: 01-01-01-02-02-04-04-05-07-06-07-09-14-20-20-17-18-17-20-24-26-32-39-35-38 (25 weeks)For December 2005, the Christmas number one single is one which is essentially two separate songs and entries. What Else Is There? was the third single from Röyksopp's album The Understanding, and became what was their final UK top 40 single, but it was largely promoted in the UK with the Thin White Duke / Jacques Lu Cont remix, and it was certainly a remix which turned the song into something completely different. The remix was what I was mainly listening to at its time of release, mainly the full 8:30 version rather than the radio edit of it and helped it enter at #1, reaching where previous big singles Eple and Only This Moment couldn't quite manage.The remix turned it into a much bigger dance anthem and was something I loved at the time, really taken to the repetition of the chorus lyrics. Over time, I begun to get more familiar with the original, and it definitely helped extend its chart run - a week shy of half a year in the chart, and 12 weeks in the top 10. The original is stunningly beautiful with the vocal provided by Karin Dreijer (AKA Fever Ray) of The Knife, a band who will be mentioned again in this thread very soon.To 2026, if I were to listen to the remix I'd go for the radio edit now, the full version feels like it drags a bit over 8 and a half minutes, whereas it remains a bit of a banger when more compact. However, the original would be what I'd listen to most and what I've continued to love more, it's incredibly atmospheric and I still adore Karin's vocal. Röyksopp have released some exceptional singles, and this is definitely one of them.2026 Rating: 10/10 (Remix: 8/10)Songs kept from #1:Guillemots - Trains To Brazil, The Subways - No Goodbyes, ? - ?Three different songs would enter at #2 behind What Else Is There? Two of the indie bands of the time who'd reached the lower reaches of the UK top 40 a couple of times but didn't have huge success in Guillemots and The Subways, and then one which would switch places on the last chart of the year. Guillemots had a great run of singles and I loved them very much for a brief period, and The Subways are still a fine occasional listen, but No Goodbyes isn't the track of theirs that's worthy of being their most successful.Of other new entries in these weeks, The Strokes provide my favourite of them with Juice Box (#4), whilst the big UK hit at the time Nizlopi - JCB (#5) was something I admired briefly but haven't really listened to at all in the intervening 20 years, and Fairytale of New York hit #3 after it was re-released.
January 27Jan 27 Author 68 - 26/12/2005 Coldplay - TalkChart Run: 02-01-01-03-07-06-09-13-16-19-32 (11 weeks)We come to the end of a third calendar year, and for the final week of 2005 and first of 2006 is Coldplay, getting their second number one with Talk, meaning each single from X&Y charted one position higher than the previous one. It was always one of my favourite tracks on X&Y and was a worthy third single release, it felt interesting and upbeat for a Coldplay song, certainly having more 80s synth influences than you'd typically find in their work, and it was great to hear them move in a different direction.However, as was often the case with this time of the year, there's an element of taking advantage of a lack of competition to hit the top, as after the Christmas chart week there would often be a 2-3 week lull before releases picked up again. Talk was one of three entries in the week it was released, with just three more following in the two weeks after where it reigned at the top.Talk isn't something I revisit particularly often now, perfectly fine and enjoyable but not towards the top of my favourites of theirs.2026 Rating: 7/10What Else Is There? was #2 for the two weeks this was at the top, a couple of top 10 entries came from Louis XIV's follow-up to their #1 with Pledge of Allegiance, and Editors re-issue of Munich, which I didn't chart as highly as I did the first time around, but was worthy of another good run as I'd begun to enjoy it, and them, more following me buying their excellent debut album The Back Room.
January 28Jan 28 Author 2005 ReviewThere were a number of contributing factors, but it's fair to say that 2005 was my favourite year of music to that point. The list of songs I've discussed is so much better than the lists of 2003 & 2004 (average ratings /10 of 7.3, 7.9 & 8.4 so far), but it wasn't just a case of the highs being higher, the other songs mentioned as runners-up and charting are considerably better too.2005 was the first full year where I was discovering music in any volume outside of previous main sources of the top 40, Radio 1 daytime playlist and what friends at school were into. Whilst the internet had become a big thing for me in 2002-4 for music, that was largely just using the likes of WinMX and Limewire to download songs that were popular, 2005 was the first time where I would've used it to properly discover music through forums and the likes of MySpace. Properly listening to Zane Lowe's show in the evenings opened up a whole new world of artists and genres, and put simply the charts reflected what I enjoyed listening to most more than any other period had, and probably has since. The amount of British indie music in the top 40 was phenomenal, and at this point we hadn't reached the 'landfill' phase, even the lesser known, less successful, poorer stuff of 2005 was better than some of what ended up coming.Probably helped by being a bit older and having my first small income (plus EMA!) it was comfortably the most music I'd purchased as well, at least 2-3 of albums each month and then a long list at gift-receiving times too. The albums released by Arcade Fire, Maximo Park, Nine Inch Nails, Editors, Bloc Party, The Go! Team, Gorillaz, We Are Scientists, Sufjan Stevens, Elbow and Death Cab for Cutie are all ones I still love listening to today.The amount of music I've been able to find and discover has risen pretty much every year, there may end up being years where my #1 singles are ones I rank higher, or have stood the test of time better, but not where they will also be as in sync with what the UK (or indeed any country) was charting.Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)The Futureheads - Hounds of LoveMaximo Park - Apply Some PressureStereophonics - DakotaRoyksopp - What Else Is There?Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That FeedsArctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the DancefloorGorillaz - Feel Good Inc.The White Stripes - Blue OrchidMaximo Park - Going MissingDoves - Black and White TownThe Chemical Brothers - GalvanizeArcade Fire - Wake UpThe Killers - Somebody Told MeScissor Sisters - Filthy/GorgeousGorillaz - DAREThe Futureheads - AreaStereophonics - SupermanThe Chemical Brothers feat.

January 28Jan 28 X&Y was the first album I heard from Coldplay and I loved it at the time, in retrospect, I think it may be one of their weakest of the early days but I think the singles all still hold up pretty well - Fix You is of course my all time favourite and Talk is an interesting use of Computer Love.

Can see why you'd think that about X&Y - on its own it's absolutely fine as an album, but just not the one of theirs I go back to. I'd rank Viva La Vida, A Rush of Blood, Parachutes, X&Y, Mylo Xyloto. I haven't paid enough attention to full albums after that.
February 7Feb 7 I wondered if 'Wake Up' would appear, glad to see it gave Arcade Fire another #1 for you. 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' was a fantastic debut Arctic Monkeys hit, probably still my favourite of theirs despite all the later competition. Of others you mentioned since I last commented, 'Jesus Of Suburbia' may not have been a huge hit out of the gate for me, but its epic nature emerged over time and it went on to become my favourite single of the whole of 2005 (perhaps even outranking the re-released 'Fairytale Of New York' if that counted), and the standout track on American Idiot for me.

February 27Feb 27 Author On to 2006 then... After 2005 saw me find music from a much bigger range of sources, particularly moving to online, 2006 took that to a new level. After the end of the CoolClarity forum, I was part of its successors (BuzzJack & CHC Music) as well as spending more time on its similar, more 'competitor' sites (Haven & Moopy), whilst radio listening moved more away from Radio 1, the Zane Lowe show was still a huge influence but in the daytime I was far more likely to put on the likes of XFM or 6 Music, and as a result the stuff that made my chart was even more indie focussed. In 2005, the majority of songs at and near the top of my chart could be found somewhere within the UK chart, whilst 2006 there is a bit more niche stuff that made it that was getting nowhere near the UK top 40. That being said, there are still 3 UK number one singles which I shared so it certainly wasn't a full departure, and whilst I still went by the UK release schedule for when things charted, there were more songs that climbed to their peak than in previous years and by the end of the year it was pretty much impossible to continue with it it. But despite all the new sources for music and different genres and styles being discovered, we kick off the year with a song that was popularised in a classic way, soundtracking an advert...

February 27Feb 27 Author 69 - 09/01/2006 José González - HeartbeatsChart Run: 01-03-04-05-05-05-07-13-15-23-23-17-21-23-27-30-35-35-34-39 (20 weeks)We kick the year off with a cover, of The Knife's 2003 single Heartbeats. Popularised by being the soundtrack to Sony's 'Bouncy Balls' TV advert, it proved it was still a source of creating hits, as Heartbeats hit the UK top 10 and didn't leave the chart until September, although the majority of this was in the lower reaches of the top 75. For me, it was a great discovery - I'd not long become aware of The Knife but at that stage hadn't fully got into them, so like most people didn't particularly see this as a 'cover', but that it was simply a beautiful song with a great vocal. Within the next year or so, I'd purchased the CDs of The Knife's Deep Cuts and Silent Shout, and José González' album Veneer. Veneer was ok but not something I've given much attention to since 2006.We kick off the year in the most perfect way, with a bona fide 10/10. It's hard to think of many, if any, other songs where the original and a cover version are both so perfect, but also so different. Combine the two and Heartbeats will have been one of my most listened to songs of the previous 20 years, the Jose version is just absolutely gorgeous.2026 Rating: 10/10Songs kept from #1: Richard Ashcroft - Break The Night With ColourI have very little memory of the Ashcroft song, and he's not someone who's music I particularly enjoy listening to - call it a beneficiary of early year release scheduling where there still wasn't much coming out. The Kooks - You Don't Love Me is the other song from this weeks releases that I might still listen to, but it isn't one of their best.
March 2Mar 2 Author 70 - 16/01/2006 Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes DownChart Run: 01-03-04-04-09-13-20-24-27-28-33-38 (12 weeks)A fairly predictable #1 single, as like in the UK When The Sun Goes Down follows I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor in entering at the top for Arctic Monkeys. It feels like a remarkably short chart run where it fell down and out of the chart quite fast, but that was just down to how much I'd already listened to them, and this song (or 'Scummy' as it had then been known) for the previous 4 months. An obvious number one, but one which would probably have been in my chart for about 3 months already had I not stuck to the official UK release schedule.There were a bunch of early recordings of Arctic Monkeys songs from their Beneath The Boardwalk demo album that had exploded in the late summer of 2005, most of which would end up re-recorded either on their debut album or the 'Who The f*** Are The Arctic Monkeys?' EP, some for the better and some worse (I'd always though their re-recordings of Riot Van and Cigarette Smoke were big downgrades), but the change from Scummy to When The Sun Goes Down, and becoming much more polished, was definitely one which got much better. Sung about the red light district area of Neepsend in Sheffield, it was as catchy as their debut single but showed a different side to them with their lyrical content.Over the years this has gone on to become my go-to Arctic Monkeys song. I've not stopped loving their early stuff, infact I probably enjoy Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not as much as I ever have done, and I'd definitely rank this as one of my top 5 UK number one singles.2026 Rating: 10/10Songs kept from #1: Will Young - All Time LoveAll Time Love spent three weeks at #2, one of the more random high charting entries I've had, as it's not something I've really listened to in the intervening 20 years and it's not like I was a fan of Will's! I've had to re-visit it too as part of this, and it kind of passed me by as 'perfectly acceptable background music' - interested into what my thinking was around it.
March 2Mar 2 Great start to 2006 so far!'Heartbeats' is a beautiful cover and the advert that propelled it into the chart has got to be one of the most visually impressive of the 2000s. I listened to a podcast that talked about it once and it was wild that the crew actually launched 250k bouncy balls into the street, with a glass repair company on-site to help out with damage rather than resorting to CGI. Admirable effort levels and ambition for a wonderful pay-off.'When The Sun Goes Down' was certainly a highlight of the year when ranking the 2006 #1s. High praise to be one of your all-time favourites but I approve, what a brilliant song love the relentless, vitriolic energy when the riff properly gets going and their classic raw, engaging storytelling.
March 5Mar 5 Author 71 - 23/01/2006 The Shortwave Set - Repeat To FadeChart Run: 01-01-03-06-08-21-25-31-33-38 (10 weeks)And now onto that 'more niche stuff' that would hit the top spot in 2006, as move to a band that came nowhere near making the UK charts, or anywhere else for that matter. The Shortwave Set were a London-based alternative pop act with shared male/female vocalists, although most of their songs were sung by Ulrika Bjornse, and I typically mainly like the songs on which she was the vocalist on. Repeat To Fade was a much slower, ballad than their other work which was more upbeat. I can't say I remember where I discovered them, but I listened to them fairly regularly for a three year period. They also had #2 hits in 2007 & 2008 with 'Casual Use' (my first ever BJSC entry!) and 'Now Til '69', the latter being from their second and final album Replica Sun Machine which was one I had on CD.This isn't a song I'd listened to much in the last decade at all. When I still largely listened to music from my iTunes mp3 collection it was something I had at some point removed from my main favourites playlist, and this was one of about half a dozen songs that weren't on Spotify when I put together my #1s playlist - looking at the listens figures of their two albums I think their debut was added at a later date as it's on there now. It was nice to hear it again, I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to, nothing special but simply a nice song to listen to.2026 Rating: 7/10Songs kept from #1: Will Young - All Time Love Two more weeks as runner up for Will. Only one other song charted in this fortnight that I'd still listen to, and it climbed to #2 so will be discussed on a future entry.

March 6Mar 6 Author 72 - 06/02/2006 Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin DownChart Run: 01-03-11-23-28-35 (6 weeks)The popularity of emo was something that I wasn't that bothered with, enjoyed some of the main hits to chart them (My Chemical Romance highest position #11, Panic! At The Disco #10), but largely thought it was annoying and whiny, and I listened to less music each year that could be included somewhere within the main 'rock' genre. But Sugar, We're Goin Down was one exception. Fall Out Boy had built up a significant fanbase with their 2003 debut album, but this was the first song of theirs I was aware of. I remember Zane Lowe loving it upon original release, which was only a few months before, and I'd enjoyed it enough at that point to give it a chart run of 15-24-40, but I heard it a lot in the coming months as it gained in popularity, and started to enjoy it more. At the beginning of the year it had started to get more exposure and charted in the UK on downloads from its previous release, spending four weeks climbing before its re-release saw it spend three weeks in the top 10. It was only a short chart run, largely down to me having been listening to it for a long while by this point, but certainly wasn't an undeserved number one.Perhaps surprisingly, I have continued to enjoy Sugar, We're Goin Down over the years, and think Fall Out Boy have a good trio of fairly big hits - looking back I'd say I undercharted 2007s 'This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race' (#34) and 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs' (#26) as I've continued to listen to and enjoy them for the past 20 years. I'd definitely say this is the best example of an emo song of this period.2026 Rating: 8/10Songs kept from #1: The Go! Team - LadyflashEntering at #3 the week before, Ladyflash joined Bottle Rocket in giving The Go! Team a pair of #2 hits from their debut album, still a song I enjoy a lot but probably still just about say this top 2 was the right way round.
March 10Mar 10 Author 73 - 13/02/2006 Goldfrapp - Ride A White HorseChart Run: 01-01-05-04-05-06-09-13-13-15-19-23-29-30 (14 weeks)Replacing Fall Out Boy after just a week at the top were Goldfrapp with the third single from their album Supernature. Ooh La La reached #2, and Number One followed it at #3, so the set of top 3 positions was completed with their next entry. Supernature was an album I remember buying in the January sales as I'd enjoyed the first two singles from it. In the first few listens Ride A White Horse was comfortably my favourite song on it, so was delighted it was picked as the next single and was an easy #1.The second half of the noughties was definitely my peak Goldfrapp listening years, and I've struggled to care about much they released after that (one charting hit post-2008, 11 entries until 2008) but there are still a few of their earlier songs which I like, and Ride A White Horse is certainly towards the top of that. (also remembered the poster on here that got really bitchy about Goldfrapp being sell-out rubbish following their first couple of albums).2026 Rating: 8/10Songs kept from #1:The Magic Numbers - I See You, You See Me & We Are Scientists - It's A HitA couple of other 'third singles from 2005 albums now' with The Magic Numbers getting another high charting entry with I See You, You See Me - a much more mellow single than their others that I still absolutely love. Like Supernature, the We Are Scientists album was one I'd only recently got, and It's a Hit became the biggest hit from it.The second of these two weeks was the first big release week of the year with comfortably the most charting songs towards the top with positions #4-6 taken by Corinne Bailey Rae, Maximo Park and Madonna with debut Put Your Records On, the fifth charting single from A Certain Trigger, I Want You To Stay, and the UK #1 Sorry.
March 12Mar 12 Author 74 - 27/02/2006 Stellastarr* - Sweet Troubled SoulChart Run: 01-01-01-01-03-07-07-07-10-12-13-15-16-14-20-22-25-27-39 (19 weeks)74 entries in to find one which was totally influenced by a member of this site, and as explained in his Q&A thread about the asterisk, @dandy*. Stellastarr* had charted once previously for me, a solitary week at #36 in early 2004 with My Coco, but neither the song or the band really registered with me, I probably heard it once and saw it had been released. With the impending release of their second album Harmonies For The Haunted, Dandy* was singing of their praises and the comparisons with the likes of Editors and contemporaries of Interpol they were an easy sell to me. I listened to their debut album a lot in 2006, never fully got into their second as much but Sweet Troubled Soul was an excellent anthemic single that was deserving of its run at the top.They're a band I've held a lot of fondness for over the last 20 years, their self-titled debut is still brilliant and I'd be more likely to listen to something from that, but Sweet Troubled Soul is still a great song - I probably listen to its follow-up Lost In Time more now, though didn't chart that at the time (maybe it wasn't actually released?)2026 Rating: 8/10Songs kept from #1: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - In This Home On Ice, ? - ?Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is a blast from the past. They were hugely hyped online and I was very much caught up in that in the early part of the year, their album hit the UK top 40 and its still something I have a fondness for, In This Home On Ice is a great single. The other three weeks the top 2 was the same, and the runner-up would move to the top and replace Stellastarr* at the end of March.The week it was released it was one of 10 songs that entered in the top 20, and it was a superb week for releases. The top 4 were all new and songs I still enjoy to some extent - Graham Coxon following up an album that produced a #1 for me with Standing On My Own Again and UK indie band of minor success The Rakes with All Too Human, one of two songs of theirs I still love to listen to all knocking Goldfrapp down 1-5, with #6 being Better Together by Jack Johnson, which had been a favourite of his 2005 album, which rounds out a rare top 6 of songs I still really enjoy. In the other three weeks highlights were Pendulum - Hold Your Colour, Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins - Rise Up With Fists, KT Tunstall - Another Place To Fall and Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion falling short at #3, and I'd prefer to be discussing that next.
