I’ll be watching!

La La La!! Best song of 2013 :wub:

Shame about the number 1, but the rest has been great. Thanks for doing this!

Thanks Billy, that pretty much is the right version!

Heard this in HMV just after Christmas and it’s lovely. Whipped out my Shazam on the spot!

Heaven Is A Place On Earth is a great number 1 - good start to the year!

Le Punk Daft.

Actually, yes!

What!!!! Shocker. How sad :(

Kingfisher from last night is Harry Hill. I’m with Pru Leith as Pegasus. Awful singing voice.

Please share the real mix! I’m used to the one on Now 49 which would be that one. It took me a while to find the right UK mix of ATB’s Don’t Stop as well.

2005 was when I started posting regularly on Coolclarity, Buzzjack’s predecessor. It’s telling that my top 10 of the year all reached the top 10 on the charts (many number 1 or 2). Looks like my taste hasn’t changed in 20 years but chart music has!

I was obsessed with Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc, especially the video and the use of the Ghibli-esque floating lighthouse island. My top 10 of the year would be: 1. Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. (2) 2. Coldplay - Speed Of Sound (2) 3. Gorillaz - Dare (1) 4. Stereophonics - Dakota (1) 5. Girls Aloud - Biology (4) 6. Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle (1) 7. Arctic Monkeys - I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor (1) 8. Madonna - Hung Up (1) 9. Coldplay - Talk (10) 10. Athlete - Wires (4)

This was the January/February of the infamous Elvis re-issues. Genuine fear at the time on forums that he would number 1 each week with a different song for months! Luckily, it didn't quite pan out like that.

I adore these 1997 charts already! :wub: Professional Widow is a banger of a number 1! Quit Playing Games is my fave Backstreet Boys song, mainly for the video :kink: Say What You Want is superb - I still remember my surprise at their comeback (please can I get White on Blonde on vinyl this year?!) En Vogue is super classy as well, a great comeback. No Mercy is Europop at its best - though I always thought of it as a summer song.

I have now voted!

I started to tape and write down the charts in 1988. Here for the SAW domination, that was what I was into at the time.

Yay! Slightly sad that there are only 2 years left though :(

Let’s do a combined 20th and 21st Cebtury one next December!

Easily one of the best years for music! Looking forward to it.

That was a perfect ending - amazing!

It would be worrying if we didn’t all vote for ourselves!
