Adele appears tiwcw in this segment, and I regret having Chasing Pavements at #1 when Hometown Glory simply pisses all over it. Kelly Rowland's dull Work was given a great overhaul by the Freemasons giving it an Arabic dance vibe and helped it gain 3 weeks at the runners up slot. Biffy Clyro, who I had never rated before stormed up my chart with Mountains which gave them their biggest hit to date on the Official Chart too.

The Killers stromed back with 2 week #1 Human, their best new track for years. Also making a comeback was Will Young, who had a 3 week #1 in the Autumn - not a bad song, but not setting the musical wortld alight anymore. The Tings Tings followed up That's Not My Name with #2 Shut Up And Let me Go - a much catchier song and more owrthy of a UK #1 than That's Not My name was. In comparison with BWO, euro cheese is back again with Eurobandið, Iceland's brilliant ESC entry. I wish we had entries like that!

Next, are the Saturdays, with Up, a slice of rather good pure pop - even if most people here hate them, I think they are pretty good and Up proves they should have some longevity.

Lost! is the least successful of the 3 Coldplay songs I have charted this year, but does rather well anyway. Question is though, is Lost! any better than Lost? or Lost+ ? The Last Shadow Puppets, with the bloke from Tha Arctic Monkeys and The Rascals, had a huge hit with the Bond/Spanish/60's flavoured The Age Of The Understatement. On reflection, this is definately one of the best songs of the year!

I wish I had charted Molly's Chambers years ago, but never mind. The Verve, 90s chart giants, returned with their tribute to Pingu, Love Is Noise. This track had the honour of knocking Coldplay off the top spot after 7 weeks.

September - Cry For You (432) http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/H2B03CDS.JPG CR: 12-8-6-2-2-3-4-6-8-15-15-16-22-29-37-40-40 (17 wks) 'You'll never see me again..' This rather nifty dance tunes owes alot to the sample of Bronski Beat (almost the same sample that 2006's Tell Me Why from Supermode used) and the fact that I loved their only other hit (well, hit for me) Satellites so much. As much as I like it, I am quite surprised that it has ended up this high in my YE chart :mellow:
December 30, 200816 yr Author 9. Duffy - Warwick Avenue (479) http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1766149.JPG CR: 9-8-4-3-1-2-3-6-8-13-16-17-17-24-26-32-34-38-40-40 (20 wks) 'Meet me by the entrance of the tube' One of the stars of the year, the lovely Duffy has 2 songs in my YE top 10 - although neither are as good as Rockferry, which I would have loved for her to re-release. Sigh. Still, this has a nice 60s soul vibe to it, so its not all bad!
