Thanks Rich. Yes, there are definitely a few of those to come. Reminds me I got part way through your 2000s number ones thread but never finished it...

01 - 06/01/2003 Foo Fighters - Times Like These Chart Run: 01-01-02-02-05-07-08-10-11-14-16-20-21-22-26-27-28-33-36-40 (20 weeks) https://youtu.be/rhzmNRtIp8k?si=N2wmCJUOihM8nlk7 So, my first recorded chart includes the releases of 6th January 2003, back in those days typically this would have been the first week with any notable releases since the Christmas Chart, of which Times Like These was the one that entered at the top. Its parent album, One By One, was a CD I played an incredible amount, I remember it being the soundtrack on the portable player for paper rounds, school trips, car journeys. It's highly likely that the album's first single All My Life was a chart topper too. Times Like These has deservedly gone on to become a classic Foo Fighters track. They're not a band I listen to often now, but if I were to play an album it'd still be One By One, and only Everlong betters this from their collection. A great start to this list. 2025 Rating: 9/10 Songs kept off: Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage and Feeder - Just The Way I'm Feeling Other notable releases during this fortnight include The Libertines - Time For Heroes (#3) and The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots (#6) which would definitely be the two songs of this period I'd most likely put on now.

Recently I decided it'd be a good idea to listen to all of the songs I'd recorded as a Personal Chart #1, now that there are over 400 of them. It gave me the idea that I could turn it into a thread and write a bit about them, especially with this forum existing, given I started recording it towards the start of the period it covers. So after some time of thinking about doing it, here we are. I'll revisit them one-by-one, rate them in the current day and rank each years entries at the end of the year. I'll try and remember how I felt about the song/band at the time, look at what they prevented from reaching the top and any glaring errors I made. How often I'll post, or how long I'll pretend I'll make any significant inroads to it... who knows? But if I only commit to this being something I do when I've time and interest, then I might actually get further than I anticipate! The charts were something I got into in about 1997 when I was just 8, listening to the top 40 every Sunday I could, demanding it be put on in the car if we were driving anywhere, and checking it all on Ceefax on the Monday morning. Typically, I'd write down two versions of this - the actual chart, and one in my order of preference. This was sort of a personal chart although you'd get runs of 1-OUT given it would only be the UK top 40 I'd do it with. It was like I was made to look back in 2025 and realise I'd spent 60% of my life as a member of internet forums predominantly centred around music and the charts... In the early 2000s I did change the way I recorded so it would be my favourite songs regardless of whether they were in the UK chart, but I still made it close to official as songs only entered in release week, which lasted until the beginning of 2007. Not all of those stolen blank school textbooks survived however, so 2003 is the furthest back the archive starts...

I'd love for one day a club to not give in to a player where this meant not playing them rather than re-integrating them and giving them a payrise, but it's just never going to happen in a PSR world where players are as much assets on a balance sheet as they are footballers that contribute to the team. In this situation it does feel like it's an inevitability he'll end up leaving, but Newcastle have done an incredibly bad job at getting a striker in, if they'd successfully managed to get any of the many they'd tried I'm sure they'd be far more willing to sell.

Greatest Hits albums by Metronomy and Hot Chip released on the same day is quite something, I've pre-ordered the former a while ago and might get Hot Chip's as it's a good collection of songs. The tracklist shows how consistent they've been over the years as each album is well represented and there's nothing that overly sticks out as should or shouldn't be included, maybe One Pure Thought over Look At Where We Are which I find a bit dull. Great that Flutes has become such a big song of theirs.

In the absence of Panic Shack - Lipgloss and White Lies - In The Middle it's an easy win for NIN this week.

Four Tet and TDJ are easy picks. Then went for Jasper Tygner ahead of Bicep, Daphni and Sofia TDJ again in the tie, though didn't come close to voting either in last month's poll.

Colapinto is certainly living off his first 2-3 races for Williams where he was a surprise package who performed great, got points and was beating Albon in certain sessions, but since then it's hard to say he's been anything other than one of the worst drivers on the grid, he certainly hasn't been any improvement on Doohan.

Wolf Alice over the Hives. Ethel in the tie, though definitely last week's best two.

What Was That, Bloom Baby Bloom and Nettles were the only three which made my Personal Chart, so an easy vote here. Pulp and Nilufer Yanya also good

Skin on Skin, Surusinghe and Dj Dave the only 3 I've kept on playlists this month so an easy vote. HVOB in the tie.

I'm on holiday until the 24th, realistically semis will close too soon to enter this one.

I'd never listened to anything by them because one look at them would indicate it'd be something I'd turn off after a minute, but as that review indicates, that isn't really the case. Caramel is great, I absolutely LOVE Damocles but wow listening to a whole album of this was one hell of a drag. Utterly, utterly boring. Absolutely don't see the fuss and the popularity if this is what Sleep Token is.

The Newark one is interesting, lots of Reform Bot replies saying illness yet never stated anywhere official, just for personal reasons and wants to continue his career. Still, another election for officers to spend their time organising, another 6-8,000 poll cards and postal votes to be printed and posted, venues to be booked and poll clerks, presiding officers, verifiers/counters etc. to pay for a week after being run. The exact type of public sector waste they campaigned on to say they'd stop and be different to.

Yep listening to my 15 shortlist again now. Own fault obvs but no reminder is... annoying
