Kylie- CGYOOMH for me

 

If you've got, can you post the year end airplay of that years?? Thank you!!!

 

Late-starter Kylie rewrites record book. (Airplay Top 50).

 

But last year, Kylie Minogue re-wrote the rule book, thanks to the all-conquering Can't Get You Out Of My Head, which overcame the massive disadvantage of not being released until September 17 to emerge as both the most-played and most-heard song of the year. Minogue's triumph was tough on Shaggy, who spent a total of 13 weeks at number one -- seven weeks with It Wasn't Me and a further six weeks with Angel. It Wasn't Me seemed to have the race all sewn up, and was only overtaken by Can't Get You Out Of My Head a couple of weeks before the end of the year.

 

There is, however, no denying Minogue's right to the title; Can't Get You Out Of My Head registered nine straight weeks at number one, and was the first record in Music Control chart history to be credited with more than 3,000 plays in one week. It did so even though the blurring of radio formats, which results in the same records being aired by stations with very different briefs, was less of a factor in 2001, with stations such as Virgin 1215 and Kiss 100FM straying into Top 40 territory less than before. That is why, despite the fact that radio as a medium was more popular than for a long time in 2001, the top records on the annual chart were less ubiquitous than in recent years. Can't Get You Out Of My Head, for example, was aired 45,577 times and heard by 1.51bn people, a considerable decline on the 64,777 plays and audience of 2.14bn which earned All Saints' Pure Shores the number one slot in 2000.

How the hell was Make Luv the most played song in 2003? It was c**p, and only made No1 'cos it was used in a deodorant commercial.

How the hell was Make Luv the most played song in 2003? It was c**p, and only made No1 'cos it was used in a deodorant commercial.

 

EMI completes a hat-trick of victories on the annual airplay chart, with Room 5's deliciously retro Make Luv, based on Oliver Cheatham's Get Down Saturday Night, finishing ahead of the field. Kylie Minogue won the title for EMI in 2001 with Can't Get You Out Of My Head mad again last year with Love At First Sight.

 

Perhaps surprisingly, Make Luv earned a bigger audience and more plays last year than either Minogue single did when they topped the list. Of its 57,186 spins, 1,296 were on Hallam FM but only one was on Xfm. Make Luv was on Radio One's playlist for several weeks and racked up 606 plays on the station, a total beaten by only two other records, namely Junior Senior's Move Your Feet (655 plays) and In Da Club by 50 Cent.

 

The latter disc was Radio One's runaway chart champ with a staggering 74,1 plays on the station. It was much less popular elsewhere, and was only the 85th most played hit of tile year overall. Radio One's support provided 61% of its audience --more than it did for any other major hit--and helped it to achieve 21st place in the chart.

 

Although Make Luv has the top audience, it was pipped on plays by Beyonce's Crazy In Love, which was aired 57,350 times. Although Crazy In Love was another big Radio One disc--fifth most-played with 570 spins--its biggest supporters were three stations from the same group, with 1,369 plays from Galaxy 105-106, 1,494 plays from Galaxy 105 and 1,538 from Galaxy 102.

 

In addition to providing guest vocals on the aforementioned Where Is The Love, Timberlake had a great year on the airwaves in his own right, being the only artist to have two records in the Top 20. Timberlake finished 14th with Cry Me A River and second with Rock Your Body, which trailed in just 2.61% behind Make Luv. Radio and TV programmers have very different ideas about what to play, but on Rock Your Body they pretty much concurred--while just missing out on the radio airplay crown, the song was TV's top choice for 2003, though Room 5's Make Luv had to settle for 29th place.

Voted for "Don't speak". So many lovely memories.
But last year, Kylie Minogue re-wrote the rule book, thanks to the all-conquering Can't Get You Out Of My Head, which overcame the massive disadvantage of not being released until September 17 to emerge as both the most-played and most-heard song of the year. Minogue's triumph was tough on Shaggy, who spent a total of 13 weeks at number one -- seven weeks with It Wasn't Me and a further six weeks with Angel. It Wasn't Me seemed to have the race all sewn up, and was only overtaken by Can't Get You Out Of My Head a couple of weeks before the end of the year.

 

So? In 2000, All Saints' Pure Shores spent most of the year as the No1 selling single of the year, only to be pipped - on New Year's Eve - by Bob The Builder.

No Doubt - Don't Speak for me.
