January 29, 200916 yr Author 4 - Chicane featuring Natasha Bedingfield - Bruised Water This a big record for me over the summer and some of the lyrics still hold quite personal memories but this was a record that I hadn't planned on being a number one. It mixes a 1999 Ibiza classic with a 2004 release from Natasha to produce one of the best dance tracks of the year, just a shame no-one at Radio 1 wanted to back it... Official Chart Position: 42 Dave's Chart Position: 1 3kicvXDzirE
January 29, 200916 yr Author 3 - Glasvegas - Geraldine Quite possibly the best new band of 2008, the debut album secured a top 2 place both officially and on my chart as revealed this morning. This song gets me all the time and gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it, this is a special band and they deserve a successful 2009!!!!

January 29, 200916 yr Author Oh, by the way, the full recap of the top 40 is coming up (trying to prolong the tension a little bit!!!!)
January 29, 200916 yr Author 2 - Leona Lewis - Run It may have been released by Snow Patrol back in 2004 but it was Leona's amazing Live Lounge cover that captured the heart's of the nation, as it became the fastest selling download ever, shifting over 100k in its first week. At least its a little extra pocket money for Gary and co, though let's hope the cover curse doesn't hit them like The Zutons!!!! Official Chart Position: 1 Dave's Chart Position: 1 g5ZQJoxae4o

January 29, 200916 yr Author 1 - Christian Falk featuring Robyn and Ola Salo - Dream On Where do I start with this record...well for one it deserved so much better than the chart position it got and was criminally ignored despite relatively decent promotion but in the Christmas market it was to be expected but this is now a record breaker for Robyn, she is now the first artist to have a number one record on my chart for two consecutive years, there could only have been one number one and I hope you enjoy it!!
