Some great songs here - "Teenage Dirtbag", "Sound Of The Underground" (my favourite Girls Aloud song), "You're Beautiful", "Whenever Wherever", "Feels So Good", "In For The Kill" (not so much the original, but the Skream Let's Get Ravy Mix is da bomb), "Killing In The Name", and "Umbrella" (really wondering that this is not higher).

The top 20 unfortunately features a lot of crap. These are the ones I like from it:

15. POKER FACE- Lady Gaga (882,059)

14. SEX ON FIRE- Kings Of Leon (903,070)

13. WHOLE AGAIN- Atomic Kitten (965,200)

12. CRAZY- Gnarles Barkley (972,400)

09. PURE AND SIMPLE- Hear’Say (1,081,700)

07. CAN’T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD- Kylie Minogue (1,104,600)

04. IT WASN’T ME- Shaggy Featuring Rik “Rok” Ducent (1,204,900)

Particularly the top 3 is very weak.

My favourites from the top 50:

48. CHASING CARS- Snow Patrol (611,400)

42. TEENAGE DIRTBAG- Wheatus (636,400)

39. YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL- James Blunt (658,200)
34. UMBRELLA- Rihanna Featuring Jay Z (676,200)

33. USE SOMEBODY- Kings Of Leon (698,695)

21. STAN- Eminem (772,700)

14. SEX ON FIRE- Kings Of Leon (903,070)

12. CRAZY- Gnarls Barkley (972,400)

03. (IS THIS THE WAY TO) AMARILLO?- Tony Christie Featuring Peter Kay (1,207,300)

plus at least one of the 2009 #1s (#spoilers for my forthcoming rate!)

Thanks for the informative countdown Gezza!

Plus Bob the builder who is neither

Correct, I had him in mind but forgot to mention him.

I'm guessing that's more of a novelty song right?
