  1. 74: Call The Shots – Girls Aloud http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1753047.JPG Chart Run: (26, 12, 6, 6, 5, 2, 1) {7 wks} [still on chart] Currently number 1 on my personal chart :D Loving this song so much right now and it’ll probably stick around for ages like Girls Aloud’s songs tend to do on my chart. Girls Aloud have had a whopping 5 singles in my personal chart this year and all 5 of them have made their way into the top 100! This song will probably end up doing quite well on the 2008 YTD chart. 73: Stronger – Kanye West http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDSKANY.JPG Chart Run: (40, 31, 21, 15, 11, 7, 6, 7, 9, 30, 39) {11 wks} Ah Kanye, what a pleb. See I really liked this song at one point…sadly though Mr. West decided to have a hissy fit about not receiving an MTV award – I believe his words were “give a black man a chance”. Pfft sounds like someone needs to get over himself. Anyway after that childish outburst I rapidly went off both him and the song which explains the drop from 9 to 30. :D
  2. 76: Say It Again – Natasha Bedingfield feat. Adam Levine http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c315/JackTatton/BuzzJack/natbed.jpg Chart Run: (30, 21, 16, 14, 9, 8, 7, 18, 28, 38) {10 wks} One of the better songs off of a very mediocre album IMO. This song would have charted higher but I was gutted that Maroon 5’s Adam Levine had his vocals cut for the single release – it made the song!! Grrr stupid record companies. <_< Anyway, Natasha appears 2 more times in the chart which is something to look forward to (that’s my way of telling myself that I will finish this countdown even if it kills me! :lol: ) 75: Tears Dry On Their Own – Amy Winehouse http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1744792.JPG Chart Run: (28, 17, 14, 20, 23, 20, 19, 15, 21, 24, 32, 36, 40) {13 wks} Looking at my chart, this song went up and down more times than Jodie Marsh’s knickers on a night out. I do like this song despite it being her lowest charting single on my personal chart. The problem was that my mum overplayed it since getting her hands on my album. What a kerfuffle. Incidently, her new single Love Is A Losing Game is currently in my top 5 and appeared on the YTD chart at number 130.
  3. 78: The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore – James Morrison http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/6123/78im6.jpg Chart Run: (39, 25, 21, 19, 19, 18, 21, 20, 20, 21, 20, 21, 27, 29, 32, 36, 39, 39) {18 wks} One of my favourite James Morrison songs and his album is one of the best from last year. :wub: Didn’t chart very high but stayed on chart for nearly 20 weeks which is awesome for a song that barely cracked the top 20. :D 77: Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) – Spice Girls http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/HEADCD100.JPG Chart Run: (29, 17, 9, 2, 2, 3, 8) {7 wks} [still on chart] I love this Spice Girls song. I know many think it’s a poor comeback but they performed it brilliantly on tour (even if it caused loads of people to sit down). Still not sure why they’re all in their bras in the video but there we go. Melanie C rocks in this song :D
  4. 80: Easy – Sugababes http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/SUGA-EASY12.JPG Chart Run: (39, 33, 19, 12, 10, 4, 5, 3, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 18, 17, 14, 15, 14, 18, 20, 25, 31, 36) {23 wks} As with Snow Patrol, this song was quite prominent in 2006’s chart which explains why it’s so low down in 2007. I still love this song – it’s not one of their best which in my opinion include Red Dress and Push The Button, but it’s definitely not one of their worst and makes a worthy entry at number 80. ^_^ 79: If That’s Ok With You – Shayne Ward http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697131702.JPG Chart Run: (38, 29, 17, 16, 14, 13, 11, 12, 22, 33) {10 wks} The first of two entries for X Factor winner Shayne Ward. His latest single Breathless is currently fighting Girls Aloud and Sugababes for the Christmas number 1 spot. This song is really catchy and I think the only reason it didn’t make top 10 was because…well there were 10 better songs out that didn’t have an Akon like squeak in the background.
  5. Thanks for the comment Gary - I don't own the Hoosiers album, but if Goodbye Mr. A is the best song on it I'm a bit concerned as it's not THAT good :lol:
  6. I was there too :D Just amazing, I was so excited to be there and right from the opening song the atmosphere was amazing. Seeing everyone doing the dance to Stop really made me grin too. Personal highlights were: Spice Up Your Life Too Much - loved the revamped version 2 Become 1 Mels C and B's solo songs Viva Forever Mama
  7. Gonna be away for a few days now (Spice Girls Tuesday YAY!!!) so top 80 will continue on Thursday evening...I know the suspense is terrible but you'll just have to be patient :P
  8. 82: Listen – Beyonce http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k313/davidobowie/Beyonc-Listen.jpg Chart Run: (36, 29, 26, 27, 24, 23, 22, 24, 25, 24, 25, 28, 31, 34, 40) {16 wks} The song that proved Beyonce could actually sing :o It’s a good song but she does go on a bit doesn’t she?? It only got to number 22 on my personal chart but it just seemed to stick around for weeks and weeks. 81: Goodbye Mr. A – The Hoosiers http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697156892.JPG Chart Run: (22, 31, 29, 28, 27, 20, 19, 16, 19, 24, 25, 33) {11 wks} [still on chart] The follow up to the incredibly annoying Worried About Ray, this song was a lot better than it’s predecessor. I still think as people The Hoosiers come across as very irritating, but this is a half decent song so it grew on me – plus, the video was quite cool :D
  9. 84: Glorious – Natalie Imbruglia http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697137112.JPG Chart Run: (28, 18, 14, 8, 10, 13, 12, 33, 38) {9 wks} Hmmm…not sure how I feel about this song. Never going to be an Imbruglia classic is it? Well it’s nice enough and has a very summery feel about it. Still prefer things like Torn, Counting Down The Days and Wrong Impression though. 83: Ring The Alarm – Beyonce http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/8886/200pxringthealarmlowpg1.jpg Chart Run: (40, 35, 34, 35, 29, 26, 20, 16, 15, 14, 17, 21, 27, 34, 37, 40) {16 wks} Did this ever get released? HMV reckon it’s released next year? :unsure: How confusing. Anyway it’s not one of the strongest songs on the B’Day album and that alarm is REALLY annoying. But the video is marginally better than the Déjà Vu video so you gotta give her that.
  10. Thanks for the comments :magic:
  11. Nightcrawler posted a post in a topic in Personal Charts
    Not a Big Brovaz fan at all :( Love Mika though, and I agree Happy Ending is much better :magic:
  12. 115 - Kate Nash - Mouthwash - Still quite like this song, it's catchy :P 114 - Booty Luv - Some Kinda Rush - Never heard it but not the biggest Booty Luv fan... 113 - Amy Winehouse - Love Is A Losing Game -:wub: 112 - Booty Luv - Don't Mess With My Man - Yeah this one's ok, did quite well on my chart. 111 - Colbie Caillat - Bubbly - Never heard it even though I keep getting junk e-mails from the woman telling me to buy the song :lol:
  13. There's no support, apparently they just play big songs over the sound system like Umbrella, Hung Up etc. Yeah they still do the solo songs - as far as I can tell the setlist hasn't changed... ...but a couple of costumes have :kink:
  14. Hehe yeah funny that :P Trust me though, there are songs I'm not keen on further up too :lol: I had a very strict points system though so I couldn't cheat and have my favourites at the top! Thanks for the comment :wub:
  15. 86: Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1704397.JPG Chart Run: (40, 29, 21, 6, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 6, 10, 8, 10, 16, 18, 19, 15, 15, 11, 16, 21, 21, 23, 25, 24, 27, 30, 28, 32, 29, 28, 31, 29, 34, 40) {35 wks} Ah the amazing Chasing Cars :wub: I still love it and the only reason it’s so low on my chart is because the majority of it’s chart run is from 2006 and it was only on chart in 2007 for about 6 weeks I think. I’m glad it’s in the top 100 though as I saw Snow Patrol in concert this summer and they sang this song brilliantly. 85: Don’t Waste Your Time – Kelly Clarkson http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/3029/85xh1.png Chart Run: (35, 27, 22, 15, 17, 11, 13, 20, 31, 33, 36, 38) {12 wks} Narrowly missing the top 10 on my personal chart, this was the third song that charted from Kelly’s My December album. Sober entered the YTD chart at #114 so thank goodness Don’t Waste Your Time got a more respectable score. I’m annoyed at how the record company seem to be screwing up this album – this is actually a decent song, but is it getting released? Who knows?! HMV seem to have the One Minute single cover that was apparently getting released in October according to their website – ARGH!!!
  16. 88: Baby Love – Nicole Scherzinger http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1753014.JPG Chart Run: (25, 13, 13, 13, 20, 18, 19, 21) {8 wks} [still on chart] You are my baby love, my baby love…yeah I love this song!! Good old Nicole releasing something much better than that Whatever U Like tripe. Shame she didn’t release this in the summer cos I think it would have done a lot better but there we go. 87: Suburban Knights – Hard-Fi http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/HARD07CD.JPG Chart Run: (23, 11, 9, 11, 18, 21, 27, 32, 37, 36, 40) {11 wks} :o What’s this?? Indie on my chart?? Unthinkable! :lol: This song is ridiculously catchy and despite being the complete opposite of everything in my chart (Indie, bad cover art and ugly lead singer), it quickly entered my top 10 and is one of my personal faves of the year.
  17. 90: Today The Sun’s On Us – Sophie Ellis-Bextor http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1741966.JPG Chart Run: (37, 24, 13, 14, 8, 10, 22, 28, 33, 38) {10 wks} This is my least favourite Sophie song from those she’s released from the Trip The Light album, and I really wish she’d released If I Can’t Dance instead. :( I have to say that I’ve always had mixed opinions on Sophie – her music was always catchy but her voice grated on me. But since I saw her perform as Take That’s support act, I am proud to say that me and my friends have converted and now we love her. She put on such a good show…anyone wanna send me the album? :P 89: Do You Know – Enrique Iglesias http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1735807.JPG Chart Run: (36, 23, 12, 8, 12, 16, 22, 25, 33, 40) {10 wks} This has to be my favourite ever Enrique song. Good beat, easy to sing along to…rubbish video! What were they thinking?? I got so bored every time it came on I had to turn it off :lol:
  18. 92: My Love – Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697020512.JPG Chart Run: (30, 21, 16, 6, 6, 8, 9, 10, 5, 5, 9, 11, 13, 14, 23, 24, 28, 35) {18 wks} This song is one of my favourite JT songs and though it spent 10 weeks on chart at the end of 2006, it remained on chart for a further 8 weeks in 2007. Not really much else to say, the song’s good, the video’s ok, live performance was absolutely outstanding. :D 91: Don’t Mess With My Man – Booty Luv http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/HK38CDS.JPG Chart Run: (25, 14, 10, 11, 20, 21, 21, 33, 39) {9 wks} Not really sure how this song managed to not only enter my chart, but reach such a high peak! I don’t like dance music as a rule so I was confused as to why I didn’t immediately turn this song off when it came off the radio. Oh well.
  19. 94: Illegal – Shakira http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697009202.JPG Chart Run: (38, 23, 19, 16, 14, 10, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 23, 27, 34, 38) {15 wks} 15 weeks? :o I can’t believe this song stayed on my chart so long! It’s a nice song but nothing spectacular and certainly not a very good song compared to Hips Don’t Lie and Underneath Your Clothes. 93: The Heart Never Lies – McFly http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1749617.JPG Chart Run: (29, 25, 14, 13, 12, 14, 24, 33, 36) {9 wks} Ok ok I know no one likes McFly (except Slick and myself) but in my defence, this is only the second (or third) McFly song ever to enter my top 40, and it IS one of their better ones right? Besides, they get naked a lot to promote their singles and that can only be a good thing right? :P
  20. Thanks for the comments guys :D
  21. 96: Gotta Work – Amerie http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697138472.JPG Chart Run: (19, 7, 6, 9, 18, 30, 38) {7 wks} When it first entered my chart it became the highest ever new entry (she doesn’t hold that record anymore thanks to Kylie). Sadly I don’t have a clue why I placed this song so high. It’s a little bit good to have a dance to…but that’s about it. And as you can see, she fell very quickly out of the chart soon after. 95: The Potential Break-Up Song – Aly and AJ. http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/CASD10.JPG Chart Run: (28, 15, 12, 13, 28, 20, 16, 35, 40) {9 wks} “What the hell’s this c**p?” was my response the first time I saw this video on The Hits. I thought it was an advert for High School Musical 2 but, alas, I was wrong. Pop duo Aly and AJ produced one of the most annoyingly catchy songs of the year and, determined as I was to hate it, I ended up loving it. Dammit!!
  22. 98: Big Girl You Are Beautiful – Mika http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1741590.JPG Chart Run: (39, 32, 28, 18, 14, 12, 21, 26, 24, 39) {10 wks} Sigh, Mika, Mika, Mika, what were you thinking releasing this song? Similarly to Take That, Mika chose to release another crappy single from an album full of potential hits. I’m sure he doesn’t mind ‘cos it did quite well in the official charts, but I for one was not impressed by his complete disregard for the amazing My Interpretation. Shame on you Mika, shame on you. <_< 97: Young Folks – Peter Bjorn and John http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/WEBB151SCD.JPG Chart Run: (27, 21, 17, 16, 17, 16, 29, 37, 32, 39) {10 wks} This was one of those songs that passed me by completely – nothing unusual, happens a lot on here :lol: It’s the kind of song that everyone is raving about (like Robyn’s songs) and that I just didn’t ‘get’: didn’t seem anything special to me. Then, me and a mate decided to have a road trip to Brighton and it came on the radio on our way down. After hearing it I fell in love with it and we all lived happily ever after. My life should be a film.
  23. Thought I'd jump on the old bandwagon and post my top 100 songs based on my personal chart. I won't bother including videos because I'm not convinced people watch them and youtube is very slow for me tonight :lol: But I may include vids for the top 20. Ok before we start let's have a look at those songs that just missed out: The Ones That Didn’t Make It – Numbers 101-110: No. / Title / Artist / Peak 110. Just A Little Bit – Mutya Buena - #16 109. No One – Alicia Keys - #20 108. Tambourine – Eve - #15 107. I Want Candy – Melanie C - # 25 106. Wait A Minute – Pussycat Dolls - #19 105. Do It – Nelly Furtado - #15* 104. Set The Fire To The Third Bar – Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright - #11 103. Won’t Go Home Without You – Maroon 5 - #4* 102. Tired Of Being Sorry – Enrique Iglesias - #16 101. Can’t Get Along (Without You) – Hard-Fi – #12* *indicates that song is still charting. Now without further ado, I give you: The Top 100 of 2007 100: I’d Wait For Life – Take That http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/6711/0123593211812001sd0hw5.jpg Chart Run: (37, 34, 29, 23, 20, 22, 23, 25, 24, 27, 35) {11 wks} So kicking off the top 100 of 2007 is Take That with their third single from the Beautiful World album, I’d Wait For Life. I was really unimpressed with this song and am still a bit annoyed they released it as there are SO many better songs on that album like Reach Out and Beautiful World itself. Ah well they deservedly only made number 20 on my chart which serves them right for releasing such rubbish. 99: Change – Sugababes http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1755605.JPG Chart Run: (32, 23, 17, 8, 7, 3) {6 wks} [still on chart] Next up are the Sugababes with Change, currently sitting at number 3 on my chart and eyeing up that Christmas number 1 spot. I love this song so much at the moment and if they’d released it earlier in the year it would have definitely been so much higher in the chart. Still, an amazing song with an awesome video – perhaps it will feature higher up in the 2008 chart. :D

    I love Listen, never heard the other one though ^_^
  25. Love Call The Shots :wub: Not so keen on the Feist song - don't get what the fuss is about to be honest :lol: Break the Ice? Hmmm is it bad that all the songs from Blackout just roll into one for me?? :unsure: I only know Gimme More, Piece of Me, Radar and Toy Soldier...
