Posted December 23, 200816 yr The YTD has been compiled from 51 charts from 2008 (one less than it should be due to holidaying in June). So who will grab the #1? Will Enya have steamed through and made it three years out of four with 'Trains and Winter Rains'? Or will a European act grab it - with Velvet, Kate Ryan, BWO and Alphabeat all riding high. Or maybe some Eurovision stuff can grab the top spot - the Revelations and Eurobandið had big hits on my chart this year! Stay tuned to find out... I'll keep this post updated with the rundown, but to begin with, here are a few songs that just failed to miss out on a place in the top 100... 101 X Factor Finalists 2008 Hero 102 Serebro Opium 103 Basshunter Angel in the Night 104 Ne-Yo Closer 105 Beyoncé Beautiful Nightmare 106 Jelena Tomasevic Oro 107 Sugababes Denial 108 James Morrison; Nelly Furtado Broken Strings 109 Britney Spears Piece of Me 110 Saturdays Issues And here's some which perhaps should have made my top 100... 122 Kings of Leon Sex on Fire 123 Robyn Who's That Girl 127 Girls Aloud Can't Speak French 130 Jordin Sparks Tattoo 153 Sebastian Tellier Divine 195 Annie I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me 234 Saturdays If This Is Love And finally a couple which will no doubt make an appearance in the 2009 end of year chart... 108 James Morrison; Nelly Furtado Broken Strings 114 Lily Allen The Fear I'll begin shortly. :magic:
December 23, 200816 yr Author Ok here goes then. I'm gonna do 100-51 now, and then drag the top 50 out slightly more perhaps. The numbers on the right are the peak and the sales of the song... 100 Spice Girls Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) 5 141282 99 Kalomoira Secret Combination 7 145868 98 Britney Spears Gimme More 2 146042 97 Leona Lewis Run 10 147395 96 Kid Cudi Day N Nite 13 149474 95 Paolo Meneguzzi Era Stupendo 8 150826 94 Kylie Minogue The One [Freemasons Remix] 2 159209 93 Sara Bareilles Love Song 7 161158 92 Miley Cyrus Fly on the Wall 7 161329 91 Keri Hilson Energy 2 161859 The Spice Girls kick us off here with the CIN 2007 song... it did chart in my top ten of 2007 I think, so it's done well to hang on and stay in the 2008 YTD! Low newish entries here from Miley and Kid Cudi, and surprisingly 'Gimme More' has also survived the test of time. 90 Utah Saints; Van She Something Good 6 163879 89 Will.I.Am; Cheryl Cole Heartbreaker 2 169222 88 Simona Armstrong Changes 7 171519 87 Alexandra Burke Hallelujah 3 172452 86 Alphabeat Ten Thousand Nights of Thunder 9 176823 85 Duffy Mercy 4 178540 84 Kylie Minogue In My Arms 3 181069 83 Gabriella Cilmi Warm This Winter 3 181344 82 Ting Tings That's Not My Name 14 182347 81 Leona Lewis Footprints in the Sand 3 182459 A decent entry for Alexandra after only two weeks on my chart here, and the same goes for Gabriella Cilmi's sole entry in my top 100. The Ting Tings have also done well here to get in at #82 despite only peaking at #14, and we also see the first of many songs for Leona Lewis! 80 Mariah Carey Touch My Body 3 185011 79 Madonna Give It 2 Me 2 186105 78 Madonna Miles Away 8 189584 77 Scooter Jumping All Over the World 6 196165 76 Andy Abraham Even If 9 204466 75 Delta Goodrem Believe Again 3 206019 74 BWO Will My Arms Be Strong Enough 10 209651 73 Goldfrapp A&E 4 221940 72 Girls Aloud The Loving Kind 4 224917 71 Dizzee Rascal; Calvin Harris; Chrome Dance Wiv Me 3 231215 A couple of Madge songs here, and I generally actually regard 'Give It 2 Me' as my favourite from her 'Hard Candy' album... but the chart sales say differently! A bit of Eurovision-related acts here too with Andy Abraham and BWO sneaking into the chart, and the cheesetastic 'Jumping All Over the World' which reminds me so much of summer 2008 makes #77! 70 Miley Cyrus Seven Things 13 231675 69 Flo Rida; T-Pain Low 3 235983 68 Alesha Dixon The Boy Does Nothing 9 237810 67 Katy Perry I Kissed a Girl 15 241220 66 Solange I Decided [Freemasons Remix] 9 248222 65 Chris Brown Forever 12 250365 64 Estelle; Kanye West American Boy 4 252196 63 Adele Hometown Glory 8 266852 62 Leona Lewis Better in Time 2 271804 61 Various Artists Stand Up to Cancer 8 273744 Another Leona song here, and Miley's second of three is also in this batch. The fabulously overrated 'I Kissed a Girl' also makes an entrance at #67, but the far superior follow up single is still to come... Sole entries here from Alesha Dixon, Flo Rida and Solange are also present. 60 Pussycat Dolls When I Grow Up 14 275328 59 Freemasons When You Touch Me 2 276998 58 Ashlee Simpson; Timbaland Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya) 1 283481 57 Britney Spears Circus 1 284636 56 Pussycat Dolls I Hate This Part 4 296895 55 Ashlee Simpson Little Miss Obsessive 1 299232 54 Dima Bilan Protiv Pravil 2 303115 53 Cyndi Lauper Into the Nightlife 4 316964 52 Dima Bilan Believing 1 321659 51 Girls Aloud The Promise 10 323183 The Eurovision winner rides in at #52 here, and he's also at #54. Had 'Lady Flame' not been a few years old, I would've charted that as well and that would've no doubt gone top ten, but it wasn't to be for Dima! Ashlee Simpson and the Pussycat Dolls also appear here twice, bizarrely and Cyndi Lauper's fantastic, camp comeback makes #53.
December 23, 200816 yr I predict that bloody Spheres song that kept This Is Your Life off number 1 for ages at number 2 behind Eithne :smoke:
December 24, 200816 yr Author 50-21 then now... 50 Jordin Sparks; Chris Brown No Air 7 332913 49 Timbaland; Keri Hilson; Nicole Scherzinger Scream 3 337719 48 Rihanna Rehab 5 338004 47 Jewel Stronger Woman 1 341883 46 Duffy Warwick Avenue 9 349792 45 Rihanna Don't Stop the Music 3 352871 44 Nicole Scherzinger; Timbaland Physical 1 356345 43 Same Difference We R One 1 365139 42 Rihanna Take a Bow 6 366284 41 Jennifer Hudson Spotlight 4 366296 A bit of Timbaland in this batch... but he pops up a bit more yet, and two of Rihanna's more mellow songs are here also, as well as 'Don't Stop the Music'. A few number ones are also present here, and despite only peaking at number nine, Duffy holds up well at number 46. 40 Boney M Rasputin 2008 2 367630 39 Nas; Keri Hilson Hero 3 373590 38 Wynter Gordon Surveillance 2 375004 37 Britney Spears Break the Ice 2 380724 36 Gisela Casanova 3 395129 35 Leona Lewis Forgive Me 8 396299 34 Kelly Rowland Work [Freemasons Remix] 1 399966 33 Pink So What 11 423518 32 Ani Lorak Shady Lady 3 437515 31 Fragma Toca's Miracle 2008 1 445366 The first number one of 2008 is here with Kelly Rowland, and Pink rides in to become the highest act not to have reached the top ten in my weekly chart. My university song, 'Rasputin' is also here as the 2008 remix and Ukraine's Eurovision entry does well selling over 437k. 30 Beyoncé If I Were a Boy 7 458130 29 Sirusho Qele Qele 3 479364 28 Jewel I Do 1 480190 27 Charlotte Perrelli Hero 2 492057 26 Maria Haukaas Storeng Hold On, Be Strong 1 506231 25 Ting Tings Shut Up and Let Me Go 5 511017 24 M.I.A. Paper Planes 3 516165 23 Leona Daly Not Crazy After All 2 542001 22 Basshunter All I Ever Wanted 2 573716 21 Kate Ryan I Surrender 1 592120 A few Eurovision related songs here with Armenia, Sweden and Norway all selling well, and we also have the act that should've gone forward as Ireland's representative, Leona Daly. Daft idea to send that bloody turkey! It's a good position for M.I.A. too, as I initially wasn't too keen on the song, and Jewel's second number one lands at number 28.

Velvet is a surprise, fantastic song though! Surprised no bona-fide ESC entries made the top ten, although I see a couple of National Final entries creeping in at the back there!
December 28, 200816 yr VERY shocked at how low Eurobandið and Mike Oldfield are - and that you have no proper Eurovision entries in your top 10 :o And actually, that Velvet beat Enya...
