less than 2 months until my favourite paraded hits of 2008 are revealed :o how many Swedes will there be in the top 40? will Mira Craig have two entries? can The Promise give Girls Aloud their first ever YTD top ten entry? who will come highest in the battle of the genius lyrics 'love can be hard sometimes, yes it can catch you off guard like bad crimes', 'my best friend Lesley said oh she just being Miley', 'here I am walking primrose' or 'I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song today' :heart:

This was hard, so much quality about this year. This top 10 will probably change before the end of next month:

 

1. Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down

Yeah, can't see this being bettered this year tbh

 

2. Infadels - Free Things For Poor People

I don't care if i'm the only person alive who likes it/has actually heard of it, it's a cracking song. Good album, too

 

3. Bloc Party - Talons

Didn't get to no.1 but spent 5 weeks at no.2 LOL. Tells you everything you need to know. Will always remind me of the trip to Villa

 

4. The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement

If you'd asked me back in April, i'd have told you this would have definately been my fave song of 08. Still adore it

 

5. MGMT - Kids

Adored it, went off it, loved it, wasn't as keen on it, it got released, I fell back in love with it, 5 weeks at no.1

 

6. The Killers - Human

After hearing this and the equally excellent 'Spaceman', I can't wait til their new album's out

 

7. Foals - Cassius

This got released at a bad time, so only just made my top 3. Wish to God i'd put it at no.1 now

 

8. We Are Scientists - After Hours

Still remains my fave WAS track, and was always going to be a contender for single of the year. It has, (un?)fortunately been bettered. 7 times.

 

9. The Futureheads - Radio Heart

Another non-no.1. HOW CONTROVERSIAL. Love it, even though it flopped hilariously in the (bastard) UK charts

 

As for no.10, i'm really not sure as there's about 7 or 8 songs that could quite easily make it in. The remaining songs that will get into my top 20 of 2008 are:

* White Lies - Death

* Biffy Clyro - Mountains

* Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire

* Young Knives - Dyed In The Wool

* Noah & The Whale - 5 Year's Time

* Coldplay - Violet Hill

* Friendly Fires - Paris

01 - http://www.chartstats.com/image/s33853_300.jpg Rihanna - Disturbia

 

I guess this was pretty predictable seeing it had 11 weeks at #1 on my chart. I heard this song in May/June actually after first listen I was a bit distracted by other things. Untill it came up again 2 hours later. So I officially am still hooked on this song after 6 months and the video is just brilliant.

02 - http://www.chartstats.com/images/singles/33717.jpg Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me

 

Queen Cilmi is just the bomb. Probably THE breakthrough artist for me this year. I am obsessed ok.

03 - http://static.metal-archives.com/images/2/0/6/4/206494.jpg Within Temptation - Forgiven

 

A late single released by my favourite band ever from the best album ever! This song stands out from the Heart Of Everything album as an intensely emotional ballad. Her vocals just are spectacular as always. If people think A&E is the beaut! Listen to this!

04 - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b7/ByeByeBeauty.JPG Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful

 

And Within Temptation, ofcourse follows Nightwish. This album is really a turn around and absolutely phenomenal. I could say the same about Forgiven as this. But I will always stick to my WT.

05 - http://www.chartstats.com/images/singles/33974.jpg Metallica - The Day That Never Comes

 

I never loved Metallica as much as I did untill I got Death Magnetic after hearing this masterpiece. Say what you want but this 8 minute song will never grow old and I listen to it daily when I get that 8 minute time gap.

06 - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/94/Allaroundmee.jpg Flyleaf - All Around Me

 

Released early 2007 this song would be guaranteed 2 years on my personal chart as it is still charting! If thats anything to go by listen to this insanely haunting track! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYRwNwRKrWQ

07 - http://www.chartstats.com/images/singles/33569.jpg Paramore - Crushcrushcrush

 

At 7 is that underrated Paramore song. The video is so awesome and so is this track. Nothing overboard. A quality single that just didnt get the success it deserved.

08 - http://www.chartstats.com/images/singles/33907.jpg Ladyhawke - Paris Is Burning

 

Hmmmmmm greeeeat! :P

09 - http://www.chartstats.com/images/albums/8479.jpg Disturbed - Inside The Fire

 

ROAR. Do not stereotype just because you see the word Disturbed. This is Caviar! Dynamite comes in big packages!

 

10 - http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/MUTE389.JPG Goldfrapp - A&E

 

^What everyone else said.

3. Bloc Party - Talons

Didn't get to no.1 but spent 5 weeks at no.2 LOL. Tells you everything you need to know. Will always remind me of the trip to Villa

 

Not just you but i really don't see why this is so great. I was a fairly big fan of Bloc Party and although admittedly after only 5 listens it really isn't that great.

My top 3 is quite clear:

 

1. Bloc Party - Talons

 

2. Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes

 

3. Camille - Money Note

 

A&E, Disturbia, Mercury etc are very close.

 

Not just you but i really don't see why this is so great. I was a fairly big fan of Bloc Party and although admittedly after only 5 listens it really isn't that great.

I have become a huge fan of Bloc Party after Intimacy leaked :kink: 10 weeks at number one out of 52 so far for Bloc Party! :w00t:

 

Talons will be my favourite song of the year until the end of 2008. Even LES Artistes was beaten to No.2 :cry:
