I have split both though I don't actually care for either of the tie-break tracks, but I had to vote for one!

The Hoosiers. They weren't Scouting For Girls level bad but weren't far off

Mon or Tues for Semi 1 would be good

I'm probably flopping with that semi draw.

#01 Robyn Points: 1548 Date first charted: 25/06/2007 Number of entries: 20 Total weeks on chart: 259 Most Successful Year: 2010, 2nd -ojHWQrm4UM And coming in at all time number one, is the delightful Robyn. With three fewer entries than Arctics and six fewer than Kanye, she's way ahead of all acts with 12+ entries on points gained per entry, such has been her consistency over the years. 20 entries, 5 #1s, 4 #2s, and 5 more top 5s. Just six of her 20 entries have missed the top 5, and that includes songs which peaked at 7, 8 & 9. I had no memory of her earlier hit Show Me Love, and have never really got into it, so her career here started with the delightful With Every Heartbeat, simply the most perfect pop song. Its parent album Robyn was one I enjoyed but was a bit inconsistent, but she got the single choices spot on as Handle Me, Be Mine and Who's that Girl all followed it into the top 5, as did Dream On, guesting on Christian Falk's single in 2008. She's been consistently excellent at providing vocals to others, with three hits with Royksopp, including two #1s, and Caesar with once promising pop singer I Blame Coco. Her 2010 Body Talk series remains one of the finest pop albums of all time. Lead single Dancing On My Own made it three chart toppers in a row, a song deservedly going on to be a big favourite worldwide, with a further three top 5s from it, Call Your Girlfriend the one of those I go back to most now. The likes of Fembot, Stars 4 Ever and In My Eyes would also have been nailed on top 5 hits from it. It's such a brilliant varied album, and one I go back to frequently over a decade on. Since then, hits with others have continued, two with her project with La Bagatelle Magique, and ones with Jonsi and SG Lewis in 2020. Between that there was her next solo album, again it was remarkably consistent, Missing U was a great lead and title track Honey was at a level higher. I'm absolutely delighted she has ended as my #1, fully deserving of it. Chart History: 25/06/2007 With Every Heartbeat (feat.

#02 Arctic Monkeys Points: 1525 Date first charted: 17/10/2005 Number of entries: 23 Total weeks on chart: 227 Most Successful Year: 2006, 4th EqkBRVukQmE When Arctic Monkeys songs first demoed on Myspace, I was a sixteen year old indie fan and soon became obsessed with them. The hype around them was fully deserved, as a band who were only a bit older than I was made punchy songs which were great lyrically, the likes of Fake Tales of San Francisco, From The Ritz To The Rubble and Cigarette Smoke all had a certain charm but Scummy was the one that I really loved. They were all updated for their album release a year later, but it was Scummy - now When The Sun Goes Down - which is the one which has remained my all time favourite of theirs. Despite having heard it loads by the time it was a single, the new version still entered at the top spot. There have been many songs since which have been sensational, but seventeen years later nothing has quite managed to top it. It's hard to imagine anything they released as a debut single not entering straight at the top, but I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor is fully deserving of it, the perfect stomper to introduce themselves to the world - I was in Asda on its release day buying a CD copy and delighted it defied the odds to be the UK's number one too. Its B-Side, Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts, is probably their most underrated track, and sneaks into my top 5 overall - it still sounds incredible and as it's not something you hear out of your own listening, it's hard to get bored of it. The album was brilliant - I wasn't a fan of some of their reworkings (Riot Van especially) but it gave us enough new songs and was more than good enough to deserve all of its success and accolades, predictable but A Certain Romance and Mardy Bum the highlights. Teddy Picker is perhaps the surprising choice of their second album's singles to hit the top, but all three are fantastic and remain so, showing the huge variation in their style. Humbug is my second favourite album of theirs, I find it hugely underrated and undercharted the latter two singles from it somewhat. Cornerstone is up there with my favourite tracks of theirs, easily my favourite ballad and showed the type of thing they'd go on to produce later. I think Suck It And See is largely unappreciated too, and the title track is magnificent; "you're rarer than a can of Dandelion & Burdock, while those other girls are just post-mix lemonade" is a marvellous lyric, though I stopped pretending I liked Don't Sit Down Cos I Moved You're Chair after a while, pre-2017 it was comfortably the worst song in their discography. Their 2012 return of Do I Wanna Know? was superb, deservedly getting them back to previous heights. It's gone on to become second to WTSGD for me, and whilst I'm not as big a fan of AM as most others, I absolutely get why it's so highly rated so well listened to a decade on. Of the two recent albums, although they're in a similar style I think they've built on that so well and developed it to make The Car., There'd Better Be a Mirrorball was better on first listen and such a grower. Tranquillity Base... was probably the most I've ever been disappointed by an album, but the songs on The Car take that sound and do so much more with it. I thought I'd give it another listen recently, but I still couldn't get through it all - even on their own, the songs are just so dull, but I can easily allow one flaw in an otherwise superb discography.

Pre-BJSC success I was only aware of which was a decent enough instrumental but not so amazing it made me want to discover more. The trio of the two new singles and Zone 1-6000 are all exceptional, both up there with the best songs released this year, and Zone.. still on my regular rotation. :wub:

#03 Kanye West Points: 1499 Date first charted: 22/03/2004 Number of entries: 26 Total weeks on chart: 232 Most Successful Year: 2005, 2nd L7_jYl8A73g With three more chart entries than anyone else, there is an element of Kanye being so high because of the quantity of work he's put out over the last two decade, particularly so many collaborations and features on other artists work. But he has had three number ones and a further nine top 10 hits too. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Runaway remain my favourite rap album and song of all time. I've never been that fussed with any of his other full albums, although did buy some of them. In this all-time chart he took the lead in 2009 for five years, and then again in 2019 with his work with Francis & The Lights, but Jail wasn't quite successful enough as a final entry to continue ahead of the two above, finishing 49 points off the lead. The quality of his music has certainly dipped in the last decade, and he's become that much of a hideous personality it's hard to have much time for him these days, Jail itself was a huge surprise. I'll post the top 2 over the weekend, will be nice to actually write about someone I can abide to listen to again!

Loved the first two singles from this, and 24 Hours is good enough too. I had bought What Can I do on bandcamp too which I've enjoyed a lot. Very annoying she was announced as Black Honey support after it had sold out. A gig on Saturday evening when I had day plans and was going away for a fortnight the day after I didn't bother, I'd like to see them but they're not a must - if they were here any other night this week I would have done, but if they'd have announced supports before then I'd have got one for tomorrow!

The top 5 appearing in the order I voted them in which is good. I said Green Day was a contender so would like it to win, but definitely prefer Run of the two, good top 3 either way.

#04 Arcade Fire Points: 1352 Date first charted: 28/03/2005 Number of entries: 21 Total weeks on chart: 211 Most Successful Year: 2013, 4th 8vN2vqaEBhM For a long while, Arcade Fire were one of the best and most consistent bands around, until releasing a duff album in 2017, before what felt like a return to form, but the listens to these 21 songs (plus a few select others) accounts for about 75% of my listening to them in the last 6 months, and it's difficult to think I'm ever going to want to play an Arcade Fire album again now. Rebellion (Lies) was the first song of theirs that I properly got into, the most brilliant feel good indie hit, my three longest running singles of all time appearing consecutively for the acts in positions 6-4. Funeral was an album I loved so much, up there amongst my favourites of the time, so varied and clever throughout. Their second and third albums didn't produce a number one but Sprawl (Mountains Beyond Mountains) is up there with their best, songs just sung by Regine often were (In The Backseat too). They had three more number ones with the two main singles from Reflektor and then the disco-esque Everything Now, rarely has a single set an album up for such disappointment. Last year they got a 13th top 10 entry and 10th top 5, tallies they will almost certainly not be adding to.

#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

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.

Yesss Jadakissnia :wub:

OFFAIAH the first DNQ I voted for - 8 points

That Tyla song was ok but if Getting Late couldn't qualify than that definitely didn't deserve to either.

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.

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.

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.

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.
