October 21Oct 21 For sure it was the worst year of the decade for No.1s, but away from the top spot it was a pretty good one. I feel like it's one of those years where many classics missed the top spot sadly. Left Outside Alone, Mr Brightside, Take Me Out, Somewhere Only We Know, Milkshake, Unwritten, Lose My Breath, In The Shadows, If There's Any Justice, This Love, Flashdance, Leave (Get Out), Love Machine, The Show, Your Game, American Idiot, I Believe In You, What You Waiting For, Too Lost In You, My Happy Ending, Numb/Encore...just off the top of my head.On a personal level What You're Made Of, Out Of The Blue, You Won't Forget About Me, Is It Cos I'm Cool, and Summer Sunshine all made the top ten too <3What a year it could have been if the public weren't buying crap in great quantities!

October 21Oct 21 For me 2004 is the year between two fantastic eras - best UK charts (1999-2003) and Lithuanian girl groups supreme power (2005-2010), Mango released their best album "Raskila", possibly the best non-YVA Lithuanian album. My SotY was "Mono" by Courtney Love. The second best rock song in a history of my chart, only behind LaFee - Prinzesschen.
