This song is so 80s and happy. Shame they have been dropped by their record label :(

That is all. :( HA! :P The use of chart run calculation is proved unworthy :kink: Convert to sales calculation next year, before all is lost :drama:
December 30, 200816 yr Author 6. Goldfrapp - A&E (542) http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/CDMUTE389.JPG CR: 1-1-3-3-2-5-2-6-15-15-15-15-17-19-20-22-30-30-31-35-35-40-40-40 (24 wks) 'I was feeling lonely, feeling blue' Easily the best song of their career, and one of the songs of the year, A&E is just sunshine, dew on grass on a summers morning and leafy glens in 3 minutes and 18 seconds of pastoral perfection.
December 30, 200816 yr The above track finishing so low is also further proof of the inadequacy of chart run calculation :smoke:
December 30, 200816 yr Author 5. Sam Sparro - Black and Gold (644) http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1766841.JPG CR: 16-1-3-5-5-6-7-9-9-9-9-11-11-11-14-16-20-20-24-27-27-30-31-31-32-39-40 (27 wks) 'The vision is the only validation' Smooth, slick and velvety Sam Sparro had a superb hit on his hands with Black and Gold. Utterly brilliant, unlike the rest of his album.

December 30, 200816 yr Author 4. M.I.A. - Paper Planes (656) http://i37.tinypic.com/8z0mf9.jpg CR: 8-8-7-12-10-8-8-8-5-4-14-22-26-33-34-35-39-40-40-40-xx-17-6-4-1-1-9-23-35-37-40 (30 wks) 'I got more records than the KGB' M.I.A. is the queen of second winds as this is the first ever re-entry on my chart to get to #1 after missing out the first time rounds. MIA is always contraversial, but brilliant nonetheless.
December 30, 200816 yr Author 3. Duffy - Mercy (697) http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDSDUFS.JPG CR: 10-4-4-1-1-1-1-1-1-5-7-8-9-12-19-19-19-20-20-25-29-30-30-32-34-35-36-38 (28 wks) 'Why won't you release me?' The second and highest hit for Duffy in my YE top 10, Mercy was the track that made her huge on both my chart and the official chart. She is begging for Mercy. Begging!
December 30, 200816 yr Author 2. Coldplay - Violet Hill (737) http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k313/davidobowie/Single%20Covers%202008/Coldplay-VioletHill.png CR: 1-1-1-1-5-5-4-2-3-6-9-10-13-15-15-16-16-18-20-20-23-30-30-30-30-31-32-36-38-39-39-39-40-40-40 (35 wks)* 'If you love, won't you let me know?' The long awaited Coldplay comeback after 3 years, Violet Hill was purely released as a download, and then given away free as a 7" single with NME. This track is just superb, and was but a taster for their new album, Viva La Vida.
December 30, 200816 yr could the number one possibly be Viva La Vida? :rolleyes: I doubt that really :( :kink:

The most predictable YE #1 ever?
December 30, 200816 yr :o Someone sneaked into Matt's computer and found it out. Trash, how did you do that?!
