Posted December 28, 200816 yr w00t ;o Over 2008, overall a pretty good year for music, with decent quality for most songs and a few complete stunners, I have charted 349 songs. HOWEVER, I no longer like about 15 of those, and I judged about 35 of them to be, essentially, songs of 2007 for me, and so scrapped them to come up with the following list. I will only do chart runs where convenient for me, and will go quite quickly until about 150 or somesuch when I will start posting in 10s/25s/whatevz. I'll also spice it up with my top 30 albooms etc. when I feel like itz.

Little Boots makes her first of three appearances on this chart, with still-charting and yet to peak Stuck On Repeat miles below her other two entries at 146 with Mathematics and Meddle both safely in the top 30. 140 // Kanye West - Love Lockdown // 163,613 [10 in November] 139 // Paramore - Decode // 166,181 [20 in December] 138 // Miley Cyrus - 7 Things // 171,675 [10 in December] 137 // Goldfrapp - Happiness // 173,756 [9 in April] 136 // Leona Lewis - Better In Time // 176,925 [10 in March] 135 // Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah // 179,963 [4 in December]* 134 // Gnarls Barkley - Run // 181,631 [11 in April] 133 // Jordin Sparks/Chris Brown - No Air // 182,063 [10 in July] 132 // Emilia de Poret - Pick Me Up [Angelicland XII] // 185,100 [4 in December]* 131 // Coldplay - Viva La Vida // 185,138 [5 in June] Some rather overrated stuff in this block - particularly (IMO) No Air and Better In Time. I think I underrated VLV a little though, but got Happiness about right. Love Lockdown gave Kanye his best charting song since Gold Digger but still doesn't make the top 100... 130 // Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down // 186,075 [6 in June] 129 // The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name // 186,150 [3 in May] 128 // Mark Ronson/Alex Greenwald - Just // 187,969 [8 in February] 127 // Mariah Carey - Bye Bye // 188,606 [6 in June] 126 // The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved // 189,956 [5 in August] Yay for indie-ish anthems (except for Bye Bye obvs). All of these songs were really rather good at the time, but their rather-goodness didn't last that long :lol:
December 30, 200816 yr Author 125 // Goldfrapp - Clowns // 190,950 [13 in October] 124 // Alphabeat - 10,000 Nights // 193,519 [12 in May] 123 // Feist - My Moon, My Man // 194,100 [13 in February] 122 // Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight // 194,944 [48 in October] 121 // Chairlift - Bruises [Jester's Kingdom XII] // 195,431 [4 in December] A nice few songs here, with Goldfrapp getting their second highest hit of the year with the surprisingly underpeaking Clowns, a gorgeous track which thankfully made up for it in sales. I must confess I am a little surprised to see Feist this high, but in retrospect I did quite love the track and had forgotten how much I did so! And that isn't an error there for Spotlight - it really did only peak at 48 and I forgot to give it a re-entry, so I compensated it with a 'bonus' of sorts to put it in its rightful place ^_^ 120 // Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma // 197,644 [8 in June] 119 // Kate Ryan - Elle Elle L'a [uSR VIII] // 204,131 [6 in July] 118 // Robyn - Dream On [Quotosibb XI] // 209,794 [11 in November] 117 // Duffy - Warwick Avenue // 211,350 [8 in May] 116 // Timbaland/Keri Hilson/Nicole Scherzinger - Scream // 212,494 [12 in March] 115 // No Angels - Disappear [Germany] // 213,731 [6 in May] 114 // Cherish - Killa // 214,463 [12 in February] 113 // Isis Gee - For Life [Poland] // 214,538 [10 in May] 112 // Panic! At The Disco - Nine In The Afternoon // 216,919 [10 in March] 111 // Rihanna - Take A Bow // 217,031 [4 in May] Into the bronze classifications with Kate Ryan being the first song to top 200,000 sales! :cheer: Lots of nice songs here, almost all of which I'm now thoroughly sick of - their near universal problems being that I went off them before their peak which led to some big falls :( 110 // The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement // 220,650 [6 in April] 109 // September - Cry For You // 221,588 [7 in April] 108 // Gisela - Casanova [Andorra] // 222,788 [15 in April] 107 // Ne-Yo - Closer // 223,444 [8 in June] 106 // Girls Aloud - The Loving Kind // 228,544 [5 in December]* 105 // BWO - Lay Your Love On Me // 231,694 [4 in July] 104 // MGMT - Electric Feel (Justice Remix) // 234,825 [3 in July] 103 // Sigur Rós - Inní mér syngur vitleysingur // 241,875 [4 in September] 102 // T.I./Rihanna - Live Your Life // 243,113 [7 in November]* 101 // Girls Aloud - Can't Speak French // 245,550 [5 in February] And we get into the top ten hits, with the only non-top ten in this block being Casanova which received prolonged love before dying off closer to the contest - I blame this upon it being the first song to be released :lol: Girls Aloud get two entries here, with The Promise still to come (and hopefully TLK to peak higher come next year!), with Sigur Ros' final entry in the chart at 103, which is a shame as IMSV is really quite spectacular :( Oh well. Into the top 100! :dancing:
December 30, 200816 yr Author I figure now's a good time to start the alboom countdown :o With 30 albums charted this year (I don't include Grace Jones, Brandy, Agnes or Empire of the Sun on this list as it's just too late for them all) http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1761355.JPG 30 // Janet Jackson - Discipline Favourite Track: Feedback Favourite Album Track: Greatest X Worst Track: Never Letchu Go Rating out of 10: 4 Oh Janet :( After the absolute stunner that was Feedback, I actually thought you'd have come out with an album worth listening to...instead, what I got was an album full of filler aside from a couple of nice tracks, with 8 (eight) spoken interludes in the album, with a robot named Kyoko - amusing at first but really quite tiring by the end. How the mighty have fallen, regardless of their still being flyer than pelicans :( http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/CASCD2014.JPG 29 // Alphabeat - This Is Alphabeat Favourite Track: Fascination/Boyfriend Favourite Album Track: Go Go Worst Track: Rubberboots Rating out of 10: 5 This one started off very well indeed - I was thinking of it as a contender for album of the year after listening to the first four tracks. But then it all went downhill, and, with the exception of Go Go, the last half is pure filler. Whomever decided What Is Happening was a good idea for a single is a complete fool... http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1767179.JPG 28 // Mariah Carey - E=MC² Favourite Track: Migrate Favourite Single: Touch My Body Worst Track: O.O.C. Rating out of 10: 5 To think I adored this for about a fortnight! :( Another filler-tastic album, although this one suffers as there really isn't much in the way of killer tracks...aside from the outstanding Migrate. Which has been ignored as a single. Why the hell are they surprised this album flopped when they insist on releasing mid-tempo c**p? http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/BACK22CDC2.JPG 27 // Chromeo - Fancy Footwork Favourite Track: My Girl Is Calling Me (A Liar) Favourite Single: Tenderoni Worst Track: Outta Sight Rating out of 10: 5 Hmmm. The problem with this album is that there really isn't much bad on it...or good. It's a rather average and inoffensive album, although considering it was a recommendation that's not too bad - I imagine it would've been the sort of album I would really have not liked had I been looking forward to it... http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELSPARRO.JPG 26 // Sam Sparro - Sam Sparro Favourite Track: Black and Gold Favourite Album Track: Pocket; Clingwrap Worst Track: Sick; Cottonmouth Rating out of 10: 5.5 ...as I had been to Sam Sparro's debut, which was frankly awful. I liked it for about a week before I realised it to be the mess that it was. There is nothing on this album (apart from Black and Gold) that hasn't already been done many times better by Prince, and even Pocket and Clingwrap are quite disappointing. Shame on you Sam :(

December 31, 200816 yr Author For 100-51 I will also state how many weeks the song charted for :funky: 100 // will.i.am - Heartbreaker // 245,813 [5 in April, 7 weeks] 99 // Madonna/Pharrell - Give It 2 Me // 247,294 [10 in July, 11 weeks] 98 // Kylie Minogue - The One [Nonsuch VII] // 249,694 [6 in August, 10 weeks] 97 // Artists Stand Up - Just Stand Up! // 250,181 [2 in September, 5 weeks] 96 // Bodyrox/Luciana - What Planet U On? // 251,756 [2 in January, 10 weeks] 95 // Late of the Pier - Space and the Woods // 255,919 [4 in June, 7 weeks] 94 // Mariah Carey - Touch My Body // 257,100 [5 in April, 10 weeks] 93 // Serebro - Dirty Kiss // 261,638 [2 in August, 4 weeks] 92 // Untouched - Smack Me! [FSR Rontvia VI] // 261,694 [2 in June, 8 weeks] 91 // Noah and the Whale - Five Years' Time // 275,738 [2 in August, 9 weeks] ----- Into my top 100 of 2008! :dancing: We begin the list with will.i.am's (NOT CHERYL'S :manson: Saying that is like saying that Rihanna's Rehab was Justin Timberlake's song, if the blind GA fanboys would care to listen...) Heartbreaker, a fantastic song regardless of which genial pop bint is doing vocals ^_^ At 99 is Give It 2 Me, a very good follow-up but still ranked below Madonna's other two singles of the year, yet to come (and from what I've heard of the album she's done a very clever job with the singles...). Kylie's flop fourth single falls just short of a quarter of a million, and the Cancer charity single (possibly the best ever charity single? Definitely the best in the last decade...) just squeezes past the mark. What Planet U On? peaked at 2 in January and is thoroughly fantastic (and FAR better than Yeah Yeah IMO), while I slightly underrated the rather fabulous Space and the Woods, a romp of an electro-indie mind-f*** if there ever was one :heart: Touch My Body is Mariah at her best in pop-fluff mode (although it did take its time to click with me!), while by contrast Dirty Kiss, Serebro's fifth single on my chart and their second number two for me, was too instant and died off after overplay in week one and suffers a sales penalty as a result :( Smack Me! is electroslutpop at its very best, while Five Years' Time was wonderfully affable but died off before it could challenge properly for number one...
January 2, 200916 yr Author 90 // Mark Brown/Sarah Cracknell - The Journey Continues // 276,806 [4 in February, 6 weeks] 89 // Sugababes - Denial // 277,725 [8 in March, 8 weeks] 88 // Ladyhawke - Dusk Till Dawn // 279,019 [3 in September, 7 weeks] 87 // Sebastien Tellier - Divine [France] // 284,344 [10 in May, 14 weeks] 86 // Empire of the Sun - Walking On A Dream // 289,050 [3 in December, 10 n-c weeks]* 85 // Kylie Minogue - Wow! // 292,350 [9 in February, 12 weeks] 84 // Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor // 301,200 [3 in February, 6 weeks] 83 // Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire // 302,944 [2 in September, 11 weeks] 82 // Björk - Declare Independence // 312,600 [7 in January, 11 weeks] 81 // Jelena Tomašević - Oro [serbia] // 312,919 [8 in May, 13 weeks] We move onto some more loffly stoff for 90-81. We have the rather divine use of the Lloyds TSB sample at 90, a lifelong lesson to les Sugabbz on how to handle such things -_- 'Tis pity I went off it so fast, although it has aged fantastically. At 89 we have aforementioned Sugasluts with their highest entry of the year with the good but not great Denial - I must have forgotten to impose a penalty, silleh me :drama: I do hope they go back to the amazingness of Aboutchanao for the next alboom :heart: 88 has the dazzlingly repetitive electropop from Ladyhawke with her second best track to date in Dusk Till Dawn, and she gets better with every single I find ;o 87 has more eccentric electropop from France with Sebastien Tellier moaning about the Chivers, a social group of which I cannot recall identifying characteristics, silly me :o At 86, we have (I sense a theme for this block...) even MOAR eccentric electropop, this time from Empire of the Sun, although I fully expect this to chart again next year in my YE for 2009 ^_^ 85 has some über-camp pop with the dazzling Wow! from Kyleh, although she has yet another entry to come! Going back to the trodden path we have electropop at 84 with our first silver song, Ready For The Floor, from Hot Chip selling 301,200 copies in its 6 weeks in the chart - if only I could give more en retrospect :( The Kings' sex (-es?) is (are?) on fire at 83 with the sixth lowest number two in my year end chart of 21, and Björk makes it out quite high at the end of the year being one of the earliest hits of 2008 ^_^ Finally, the Serbian Eurovision entry makes it to 81st, being a rather divine slice of ethno-folk :heart:
January 2, 200916 yr Author 80 // Madonna - Miles Away // 315,788 [7 in December, 10 weeks]* 79 // Britney Spears - Break the Ice // 322,519 [10 in April, 8 weeks] 78 // Darin/Kat DeLuna - Breathing Your Love [botanikka XII] // 325,894 [2 in December, 5 weeks]* 77 // Laura Marling - Ghosts // 327,863 [5 in February, 6 weeks] 76 // Ladyhawke - My Delirium // 329,025 [8 in December, 9 weeks]* 75 // Suzie McNeil - Lonely (Are You Coming Home?)

January 2, 200916 yr Author 70 // Kelly Rowland - Work (Freemasons Remix) // 336,938 [8 in January, 9 weeks] 69 // The Feeling - I Thought It Was Over // 338,175 [5 in February, 8 weeks] 68 // Adele - Hometown Glory [Eledan VI] // 344,044 [5 in July, 10 weeks] 67 // Rihanna - Don't Stop the Music [Hackyack II] // 346,856 [4 in January, 10 weeks] 66 // Solange - Sandcastle Disco [uSJ VII] // 351,431 [8 in December, 14 n-c weeks]* 65 // Olta Boka - Zemrën E Lamë Peng [Albania] // 363,619 [9 in May, 15 weeks] 64 // Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing // 364,875 [4 in November, 10 weeks]* 63 // Adele - Chasing Pavements // 371,831 [2 in January, 6 weeks] 62 // Gym Class Heroes/The Dream - Cookie Jar // 375,994 [6 in October, 10 weeks] 61 // Frankmusik - Three Little Words [Mdiče XII] // 376,463 [3 in December, 8 weeks]* 70 has a rather glamorous Arabized mix from the ever fantastic Freemasons, being followed up by a glorious slice of electropop from The Feeling - pity they flopped so badly this year :( Adele pops up twice in this block, with the beautiful Hometown Glory spending longer in the chart, but peaking lower during a low sales period; and Chasing Pavements outselling it in 6 weeks with a peak at number two at 63. 67 sees the fantastic (but overrated IMO) dance track Don't Stop the Music make an appearance - but again, it isn't her last one on the list! Had Sandcastle Disco been released about the same time as I Decided was it would definitely have peaked higher and be much higher on this list...but I'd gone off it a bit by the time it finally (and VERY unjustifiably) flopped :( Olta Boka's lovely sweeping Albanian tune with the longest chart run so far in the list appears at 65, with the mambotastic Boy Does Nothing at 64. Rounding out this block we have some electro-urban glory from The Gym Class Heroes (the first track of theirs I've liked!) and some über-gay electro madness from Frankmusik at 61 :wub:
January 2, 200916 yr Author 60 // The Killers - Human // 382,538 [5 in November, 12 weeks]* 59 // Natalie Portman's Shaved Head - Sophisticated Side Ponytail // 383,250 [1 in September, 9 weeks] 58 // Amadou and Mariam - Sabali // 392,569 [DNC] 57 // Ashlee Simpson - Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya) // 405,600 [7 in May, 18 n-c weeks] 56 // Alphabeat - Boyfriend [Faztickle VIII] // 407,569 [3 in September, 13 weeks] 55 // Agnes - Release Me [Herzebania XIII] // 408,844 [2 in December, 3 weeks]* 54 // Leona Daly - Not Crazy After All [irish NF] // 412,856 [DNC] 53 // Cyndi Lauper - Into The Nightlife [Nonsuch IX] // 412,913 [6 in August, 11 weeks] 52 // Santogold - Say Aha [baNG XII] // 414,506 [3 in December, 9 weeks]* 51 // Maria Haukaas Storeng/Mira Craig - Mine All Mine [FSR Rontvia VII] // 415,388 [4 in August, 11 weeks] To the brink of the top 50 ;o At 60 we have the loffly Human, complete with ridiculous lyrics; followed by the first number one of the list, from Sophisticated Side Ponytail which was amaze for about two weeks before bombing on me :( Tis the lowest, with Mika - Relax and M.I.A. - Paper Planes not included due to their 2007-ness ;o The GORGEOUS Sabali (which never charted for me, along with the fantastic song at 54) is at 57, followed by Ashlee at her second-best with Outta My Head ;o We head to Scandinavia for the next two, with Danish Boyfriend appearing at 56 after a good run during the late second and early third quarters of the year, and my Christmas number two at 55 with Agnes' DIVINE Release Me! :wub: Hopefully it shall re-peak during 2009 and the contest week ^_^ The block is rounded out with three BJSC entries, with the fantastic comeback from Cyndi Lauper at 53, Santogold's third, and second best (but not sales-wise quite yet :() single at 52, and Maria's classy follow-up duet with Mira at the doorstep of the top 50!
