10 (07) Nelly Furtado – Maneater

 

 

A year ago, Shakira was about to reclaim the top spot for 3 more weeks, making a run of 5 weeks in total. Hips would go on to be one of the biggest songs of the year, only bettered by Gnarls Barkley. Christina Aguilera's big comeback was kept off the top in a shock move, and Rihanna was the bridesmaid yet again with Unfaithful, not knowing that her big day was less than a year away! Lily Allen's Smile was tow weeks adrift of the top stop it previously claimed, James Morrison was stuck at 5, McFly were predictably falling after being at the top the week before, Madge climbed considerably to 7 with the third single from Confessions, The Rougue Traders dropped a touch to 8, Kasabian triumphantly returned at 9 with Empire (one of the songs of the year imo) and Nelly Furtado was suffering her last week on the chart with the deleted ex-number 1 Maneater.

Nelly (not Furtado) was up at 7 with Hot in Herre, Flip n Fill dropped to 8 with the excellent Shooting Star, Linkin park were new at 9 with High Voltage and Ahanti was down at 10.

A little somthing I just cooked up. Thanks to Mikey for the chart info.

2003 and 2006 are the best for me!

That week in 2002 was legendary :o

 

Shakira, Vanessa Carlton, S Club Juniors, Linkin Park. I even quite liked that Gareth song :(

Such great memories <3

2006 is my favourite chart from that lot.

 

Most of those from 2005 were awful songs- Eminem, 2 Pac, Crazy Frog etc :puke2:

Thanks Jester great work

 

 

my favorite was 2006 ^_^

OPM - Heaven Is A Halfpipe :wub: :lol:

 

Reminds me so much of School :cheer:

The 2005 top 10 was a bit odd...Blunt, Powter, Mariah and Kelly were amongst my ten favourite songs of 2005 however the other 6 in the top 10 that week were atrocious

 

 

For me it has to be 2006 is the best year.

Tripple 8 were an awful boyband.

Had two top ten hits at #8 and #9 and staged a comeback in 2005 I think which did awful?

Not sure - c**p anyway. :lol:

GO VANESSA CARLTON & JAMELIA! :wub:

Tripple 8 were an awful boyband.

Had two top ten hits at #8 and #9 and staged a comeback in 2005 I think which did awful?

Not sure - c**p anyway. :lol:

 

That was a completely pointless comeback because they just re-released Give Me A Reason, which had already been a top 10 hit in a time when the public were more acceptable of boybands

Its a toss between 06/04/02 for my favs (even though a few artists I wasn't to ecstatic with though lol), loved this though.
