Here we go

15 minutes to go, I'll be taking you through the show, talk about the songs in the countdown, don't go off topic and most important of all, enjoy yourselves

Fast car at 6 :o

Does anyone want to do the countdown on here or should I give it a go?

I think that as long as united don't lose to chelsea they have it in the bag

That would be great, the problem is that the song is less than a year old and the charts company may not class that as a one hit wonder because it could be argued that the artists could still at some point in the future get another top 40 hit although I'm hoping that's not the case as I would love to see owl city there as well

As one of their bank holiday specials, BBC Radio 2 is counting down the 40 biggest one hit wonders in the UK tomorrow, information about the programme is listed in the link below: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010mwjb They are classifying a one hit wonder as an artist who has had one hit in the top 40 and has never had any other top 40 singles.

I still think beautiful people has got a chance of number 1 soon, it has still got a single release to come in the next 2 weeks and has been climbing

2010 and 2001 are very good as Eric Blob has already said and I quite like the top 3 of the 2006 chart which if I remember correctly all 3 were in the year end top 10 Don't know much about the 1996, although I do like ooh aah just a little bit and it's nice to see that after 15 long years, we finally have a decent eurovision song again in blue, although i don't think it will go down as a classic like ooh aah just a little bit

does anyone know if jar of hearts will be released in the uk, I absolutely love that song :wub:

Is that where dem girls at?

What about poker face and sexyback? :P

how close is just a dream by nelly, that peaked at 8 and I'm sure it's sold over 350000

what about goo goo dolls- iris for consistency?
