  1. #05 Elbow Points: 1318 Date first charted: 04/08/2003 Number of entries: 19 Total weeks on chart: 207 Most Successful Year: 2014, 1st 0NFV8dHrZYM Another act who'd definitely rank in my top 5 of all time are Elbow. They reign comfortably at #1 on the artists and song charts on my last.fm account, started at the beginning of 2008, well ahead of The National and Bon Iver's Holocene. Deciding which songs are in my top 5 and their ranking (well, apart from the #1) is certainly the most difficult I've done of all 100. Guy Garvey is probably the ultimate frontman, a great songwriter, lyricist and vocalist, he holds a crowd incredibly well when playing live, and their knack of producing great harmonies, choruses and use of a range of instrumentation means they have a set of songs suitable for all scenarios, moods and seasons. In the early days of their career I largely just heard their songs on the chart show and they were decent enough, but Forget Myself was the only song on their first three albums that made any real impact on me, hitting the top 10 in 2005. I enjoyed the first single from their fourth album, Grounds For Divorce, but it was the next release that really catapulted them into my attentions. One Day Like This is the most glorious, uplifting, pop song it's possible to write. A big chorus, beautifully written accompanied by the most gorgeous string section, its eventual success in taking them to new levels of success so richly deserved. It spent six weeks at the top of my chart and remains the only song to have spent more than 30 weeks on the chart. Quite fitting that the most successful song of the last 20 years is almost certainly the one I'd rank as my favourite. The Seldom Seen Kid era is undoubtedly their peak. Each of their first six albums could be argued are great, but that one is quite frankly in a different league. The Bones of You soon gave them a second #1, Mirrorball a stunning love song, and despite One Day Like This being the perfect closer to an album, it's followed by the perfect Friend of Ours, a tribute to Guy's best friend who passed away following a sudden illness. Those two #1s were the beginnings of a run of 10 top 5 singles, and 12 top 10 singles, with each of the three from their next album reaching the top 2, the highlight of which being the piano-led ballad Lippy Kids. First Steps was part of the BBC's Olympics coverage in 2012 which I enjoyed but was very much part of Olympic fever contributing to a short chart run, before four singles being released off album #6 meant that 2014 ended up being their most successful year, New York Morning getting them a fourth number one and My Sad Captains being the typical singalong anthem of theirs I love. Their next lead single Magnificent (She Says) is probably their last great song. I haven't disliked anything I've heard of them in the last few years, but when they have so much *perfection* in their discography I just find it quite difficult to get into. A chronological list of songs that I haven't put in my top 5 that would comfortably make a hell of a lot of top 5s here: Any Day Now, Newborn, Scattered Black and Whites, Ribcage, Grace Under Pressure, Forget Myself, Station Approach, Starlings, Weather To Fly, The Bones of You, The Birds, New York Morning, Magnificent (She Says) Chart History: 04/08/2003 Fallen Angel 21-25-31 (3 weeks) 23/02/2004 Not A Job 26-37 (2 weeks) 29/08/2005 Forget Myself 08-16-18-20-32-36 (6 weeks) 07/11/2005 Leaders Of The Free World 11-19-24-32 (4 weeks) 10/03/2008 Grounds For Divorce 35-32-27-25-34-39-30-27 (8 weeks) 02/06/2008 One Day Like This 21-09-01-01-01-01-01-01-03-05-06-09-14-16-16-10-13-15-15-20-23-24-24-27-32-36-38-37-37-35-37 (31 weeks) 29/09/2008 The Bones Of You 26-16-10-08-01-01-01-02-06-07-11-12-18-20-23-31 (16 weeks) 28/02/2011 Neat Little Rows 23-10-04-04-02-03-09-14-21-30-39 (11 weeks) 11/04/2011 Open Arms 29-20-11-07-04-02-02-02-03-04-08-14-20-29 (14 weeks) 27/06/2011 Lippy Kids 29-22-18-13-10-07-04-02-01-01-02-04-06-08-12-17-23-30-38 (19 weeks) 30/07/2012 First Steps 33-11-05-06-13-29 (6 weeks) 20/01/2014 Fly Boy Blue / Lunette 38-31-25-20-14-11-09-06-04-08-15-26-28-33 (14 weeks) 24/02/2014 New York Morning 25-19-14-14-06-04-01-01-03-05-07-14-22-33 (14 weeks) 05/05/2014 My Sad Captains 18-10-06-03-02-02-03-04-05-07-10-17-24-37 (14 weeks) 20/10/2014 Charge 30-22-12-09-04-03-06-09-16-26-35 (11 weeks) 17/08/2015 Lost Worker Bee 27-19-15-09-11-14-19-27-38 (9 weeks) 26/12/2016 Magnificent (She Says) 34-29-20-13-12-11-07-04-03-05-10-22-33 (13 weeks) 21/02/2017 Gentle Storm 32-23-16-15-18-24-35 (7 weeks) 02/11/2019 White Noise White Heat 33-30-28-29-36 (5 weeks) 2023 Top 5 Rank: 01 One Day Like This 02 Lippy Kids 03 Mirrorball 04 Friend of Ours 05 My Sad Captains
  2. Aww that's a shame :( Never really get what makes a song from a less common genre be a hit or flop, but was hoping CODE might do OK given TCIC had a top 20 before.
  3. Yesss Jadakissnia :wub:
  4. OFFAIAH the first DNQ I voted for - 8 points
  5. That Tyla song was ok but if Getting Late couldn't qualify than that definitely didn't deserve to either.
  6. As I know I'm going to be at the end, nice to get so many DNQs out of the way early ^_^ Lanterns on the Lake was the one I liked most, but I only ranked it 15th.
  7. Not commented here for a while. A few I'm not familiar with and will take a listen to - Smashing Pumpkins, Shamen, Gouryella (I'm sure I will recognise this though, definitely heard of it but can't place it). El President is wonderful :wub: Always enjoyed Two Princes a lot, and It's Like That definitely one of my very favourite number one singles.
  8. I'm not really a fan of Lana Del Rey, I find her voice very grating and the music isn't interesting enough to get past that, I always try each time because there has to be something in it, but I almost always give up pretty quickly. But reading her threads always fascinate me as it shows how I differently I view music to a lot of people. Even the acts I love most, I tend to tire of somewhat after a while without some kind of significant changes in style, because there comes a time where there just has to be enough of that music already. I find it amazing how most people are so positive about another above hour long album, even more so when there are such small gaps between them, when what I've listened to largely sounds like everything else of hers I've listened to in the last 5 years.
  9. That 11-20 list is significantly better than the top 10. Celine Dion for me, but at least half are dire. And I don't include Chef in that.
  10. #06 The Chemical Brothers Points: 1284 Date first charted: 15/09/2003 Number of entries: 19 Total weeks on chart: 210 Most Successful Year: 2015, 10th BC2dRkm8ATU There are four acts who've hit the top spot at least 5 times, and The Chemical Brothers are the first of those to appear at #6. Four of those five were in their first 5 entries, including a number one debut for The Golden Path in 2003, perhaps an odd choice for being the song with the second longest chart run ever! The lead single for their first singles collection, it made me buy the album and it was something I listened to huge amounts, being a bit young to know a lot of their older stuff, it was only really Hey Boy Hey Girl that I was properly familiar with, so they were a band I begun to get really into and as a song it stuck with me for ages - it's still a delightful song, Wayne Coyne's vocal really adding to it. They broke the run of indie number ones in 2005 with Galvanize spending three weeks at the top, Q-Tip's vocals on it making it a great anthem, before Believe went close and the very underrated Boxer made it a third. A fourth song hitting their top soon followed with their next release Do It Again making it in 2007, and I enjoyed their We Are The Night album much more than I did Push The Button, The Salmon Dance is absolutely iconic and Saturate is up there with their finest instrumental work, and deservedly still makes their live sets. After six consecutive top 3 singles they then missed the top 10 a few times but still releasing decent stuff with their Oasis remix, lead from GH and the 12 minute single from their next album Escape Velocity. Swoon has gone on to become such a favourite of mine, a shame it's not one of their 5 to hit the top, and their 2015 return was with a bang as they teamed up with Q-Tip again after 10 years for Go! to return them to the top 3 again, before that 5th number one came later that year as Beck provided vocals on Wide Open, a brilliant understated track that builds to great effect with a vocal that compliments the music so well. The singles from their 9th album gave them three more decent hits, Got To Keep On felt about as big as a Chemical Brothers song is likely to get these days and feels like its peak is way too low. The Darkness That You Fear a couple of years later eclipsed them all though and got them into the top 5 for a 9th time. They're comfortably a top 5 act of all time for me, so much of their pre-2003 work is great, Exit Planet Dust and Dig Your Own Hole both exceptional albums, and their live set at Glastonbury one of the greatest experiences of live music I've ever had. The crediting of guests is all over the place depending on where you look - I'd add Q-Tip, Fatlip etc. but the ones I've missed off are all ones who've not really had any other chart success.

  11. I'd have thought the highest placed indie/rock song will be Green Day, can see that being top 3/5.
  12. Rankings.. Voted top 4. TV Girl Calvin Miley-River Mae - D-Block ArrDee Miley-Jaded NF Megan Digga D
  13. Girls & Boys is one of a few Blur songs I'd never really choose to listen to, just quite annoying and of all their big pop hits I prefer all the others. Street Spirit is fine... for Radiohead. Looking back at my votes they were the two songs I ranked just below The Saturdays :kink:
  14. It's a huge shame that Pej Solntse isn't on the streaming playlists. One to go onto my small YT only list.

  16. Regulate is absolutely immense, definitely one of the defining songs of the genre, easy top placing for me. Think it's done well to be that high here.
  17. #07 The Futureheads Points: 1235 Date first charted: 26/07/2004 Number of entries: 18 Total weeks on chart: 194 Most Successful Year: 2008, 1st awjE92YZeEQ Despite pre-dating most of their contemporaries of the mid 00s indie scene, first hitting the UK chart in 2003, The Futureheads never quite managed to 'make it' in the same way as many others did. It did take their cover of Kate Bush for me to properly get into them, but from there there was no turning back. Their style made them really stick out as they explored harmonies and different vocalists in ways that was rarely heard, and Hounds of Love provided them the perfect song to display that. Their cover of it remains my favourite of theirs, my favourite cover of all time, and would be a cert in my top 5 of noughties indie tunes. It entered at #1 ahead of fellow North East boys Maximo Park, and started a run of 9 consecutive top 5 singles, ending the year with Area entering there too, a superb and punchy standalone single. Albums came thick and fast, and whilst the quality wasn't always running through them, they continued a knack of making killer singles with 9 with the likes of Skip To The End and Beginning of The Twist, which should have really been that era's #1 over Walking Backwards. Their fourth album in barely 5 years in 2010 probably completed the law of diminishing returns but it still had its worthy standouts and was better than most of their type were making by album 4. They then bowed out for a while with an entire a capella album, comprising of new versions of some of their songs, some old folk and sea shanty songs (if only that trend had kicked off a decade earlier) and covers of well known mainstream hits from the likes of Black Eyed Peas, Sparks and Kelis. It might have been an album I only listened to a few times but it was a great effort to do something new, which most bands wouldn't dream of doing. After a few years away where the band all went and got real jobs, they reformed to make another album and tour in 2019, and came back with Jekyll, something so in their classic and signature sound. The album was good, but I probably rated it higher at the time just because it was great to have them back. Overall, a fully deserving place well inside the top 10.

  18. Thanks Jim, glad you're enjoying still. I do like both of those Coldplay songs too, and surprised looking back I didn't chart A Sky Full of Stars really. There are some decent Royksopp songs in there, I've thought most of the singles from Profound Mysteries have been OK and nice to listen to, but haven't made me want to listen to the full thing.
  19. #08 Kasabian Points: 1201 Date first charted: 10/05/2004 Number of entries: 20 Total weeks on chart: 179 Most Successful Year: 2017, 3rd Gw09tAcNB0Q Kasabian are a rarity of a 00s indie band who managed to stay decent for a long time, as I enjoyed to some extent all of their first six albums with three of them being brilliant. I did listen to and enjoy some of the singles from last years seventh album, but I've found it much harder to care about them since the departure of singer Tom Meighan, and listened to them a lot less after it came out he'd been charged for assaulting his fiancé, the way the whole band handled it left a somewhat sour taste. They are the first of three acts in the top 10 who have become much more problematic in the last couple of years. Their self-titled debut album was brilliant, L.S.F. was the song that properly got me into them as it debuted at #2 behind The Libertines, and Club Foot has gone on to become a huge favourite too, Reason Is Treason and Running Battle from the album are up there with their best too. I wasn't as into the second album, but did have a few good songs on it, Me Plus One is the one I go back to most now, undercharted somewhat at the time. It was their third album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum that was their finest work, lead single Fire was huge at the time, an anthem that brought a lot of success, but it was never one of my favourites on it. That was always Underdog and after four other top 5 hits went right to the top. Both Velociraptor and 48:13 are much better albums than the chart positions they got from the singles they released from them, largely down to poor choices, but Goodbye Kiss and Stevie are both amongst their biggest and remain in my top 5 of theirs, the former being their best example of a slower song. Let's Just Roll Like We Used To, La Vee Ferte, Treat and Glass being the better songs from those two. They nailed the singles from their next album though, as 2017 went on to be their most successful year, Bless This Acid House being the most successful and Ill Ray (The King) being the one I'd rank best now.

  20. #09 Wolf Alice Points: 1126 Date first charted: 20/05/2013 Number of entries: 15 Total weeks on chart: 197 Most Successful Year: 2021, 1st WqxE-zppu30 Wolf Alice are a band that so rarely miss, and as a result have racked up a huge amount of hits from their three albums. They kicked off in 2013 with the original and killer version of (the reworking of it for their debut album a definite rare miss (though still decent, just a huge step down)), before their first EP was released later that year, lead song off it She getting them into the top 10 for the first time, it was a superb EP with the beautiful Blush being one of their all time standouts and Nosedive being amongst their better rockier songs. The single from their next EP Creature Songs, Moaning Lisa Smile, went even higher and became the first of six top 3 singles. As they geared up for the release of their debut album My Love Is Cool, Giant Peach went even further and hit the top spot for three weeks in 2015, another of their great rocky songs I couldn't have anticipated the album any more and it certainly didn't disappoint - latter singles You're a Germ and Lisbon were both excellent and at the more poppy end of their output, Silk wonderfully atmospheric and I'm always delighted that it remains on their live setlist. It's one of my favourite debut albums of all time, with highlights throughout - the opener The Wonderwhy and Swallowtail (as drummer Joel takes vocals for a change) are also both incredible. Their return two years later with Yuk Foo was the first time I didn't enjoy a song of theirs, and it's not something I have ever warmed to, but that didn't last long as Don't Delete The Kisses soon followed, a beautiful song about young love with Ellie Rowsell's perfect spoken vocal throughout the verses, it spent five weeks at the top and remains my favourite song of theirs. I did really enjoy the album again but I did find the latter singles weren't generally amongst my favourites from it, Space & Time Aside. 2021 saw the release of their third album, with lead single The Last Man on Earth spending even longer at the top with a six week reign at number one, I was hooked from first listen and it really showed their talent and ability to take risks. Space was fine but is pretty standard fair for them, surprised I charted it so highly, before How Can I Make It OK got a deserved release, it was always the highlight from the album. They crept into the top 10 from #12 at the end of the year with a Christmas cover of In The Bleak Midwinter.

  21. These type of records always favour modern drivers due to the amount of races there now are, same with the most wins in a season record. Prost got 106 in 202 GP (199 starts) across 13 full seasons, podium #100 coming in race #194. Max is likely to have a comparable record there, but his race #202 will come before than end of his 10th season.
  22. #10 James Blake Points: 1180 Date first charted: 10/01/2011 Number of entries: 19 Total weeks on chart: 195 Most Successful Year: 2013, 5th isIABK-0ohQ Starting off the top 10 now with James Blake, the only act who has had a song peak in each position within the top 10, in a career which has been remarkably consistent. It kicked off with a cover of Feist's The Limit To Your Love, nice enough but I've always preferred her version, and was soon followed by a first big hit with The Wilhelm Scream, in his typical stripped back minimal sound. It was a huge grower, and his self-titled debut album went on to become one I listened to a lot. He'd hit the top 10 again before the year was out with his first collaboration with Bon Iver. A return in 2013 gave him three hits including a first number one in Overgrown, something that sounded very much like a natural progression from The Wilhelm Scream. Both Retrograde and Life Round Here feel under-charted a decade on, definitely top 10 worthy in comparison to some of the twelve that did make it. The second half of the last decade gave a string of six top 10 hits, beginning with his take on The Sound of Silence. The Colour In Anything was the first album of his I didn't fully click with, it's way too long, but a few on it are decent and I Need a Forest Fire is the better of his two hits with Bon Iver. He was back with a bang for album #4, Mile High got him back into the top 3 before Can't Believe The Way We Flow gave him a second chart topper, it had been my standout off it from my first listen, so was pleased it got a push later in the year. Since then he's released more standalone singles but they've all been decent, You're Too Precious another that perhaps didn't quite get the peak it deserved, before Are You Even Real? returned him to the top 10. Only a couple of singles from his last album charted, Famous Last Words now one of my favourites of his, and the Slowthai version of Funeral from the special edition peaking at #4 completed the top 10 set, it's hard to say his verse is necessary but I do like it.

  23. Natalie out of those two
  24. Not a huge rock but Enter Sandman is comfortably one of my favourite songs from the genre, great to see it qualify in the final and then do reasonably well here
  25. Third Wife ahead of Chemicals and Sofia. Didn't really care for any of the rest
