Unwritten wasn't number 1 on the Hot 100 chart. I think it was #1 on the adult contemporary chart for several months. It was played on those radio stations for an eternity.

1. Goldfrapp - A&E (fave - 5 pts) 2. Dizzee Rascal Ft Calvin Harris & Chrome - Dance Wiv Me 3. Glasvegas - Daddy's Gone 4. Jimmy Eat World - Always Be 5. Bloc Party - Talons

1. The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You (fave - 5 pts) 2. Duffy - Mercy 3. Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be 4. Girls Aloud - The Promise 5. Chris Brown - With You

This is no contest. The best James Bond song of any decade is From Russia With Love by the greatest British singer ever: Matt Monro. No other singer can match the warmth, vocal range, phrasing, and depth of emotion that he put into every song.

The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You Keane - The Lovers Are Losing

Looking at the popularity bars, it appears I was right with my prediction that Human will spend a long time at #1. At this rate, it will be #1 on Sunday's official chart. It has become a major hit, just like Crazy and Umbrella. It's great to see this. And even better that it's not by a diva yelling out a substandard song.

Excuse me, but many of us had to sit through many predictions (from the diva lovers) that Forgive Me was a sure-fire #1. So to only get to #5 for a new track is a flop. She's lucky to make the top 10. If anyone else recorded this mediocre song, they wouldn't make the top 200. Face it, she has absolutely no performance skills, and her voice is one-dimensional. She's on a downswing and soon on her way out. Leon Jackson is a completely different artist and was smart to choose not to record copycat pop. And thank goodness, the beautiful Don't Call This Love sounds nothing like the screechy Bleeding Love.

Sounds like the record label is a bit desperate -- after the total flop that was Forgive Me. Even Leon Jackson did better than that much deserved flop. I think Human could be in for a long run at #1 -- as the mainstream audience discovers it (similar to Crazy and Umbrella). It's great to see a real song capture the public's interest and not a cheesy TV creation.

Thanks Bang for compiling this chart. It was certainly a lot of calculation. It was great fun for us though. I was thrilled that Gabrielle's Rise and Lola's Theme and Groovejet did so well. I wish I would have given Push the Button a -1 instead of 1; then About You Now might have gotten to #1 which it definitely deserved! It would be nice to do this for the songs that peaked at #2 in the 2000s. I can think of one from a year ago that should rank very high and hopefully higher than #10 on this chart.

Agreed about Alphabeat. They are the Scouting for Girls of 2008. Please go away and never come back. I love Oasis, but this first single is just a rehash of other uptempo singles, as gooddelta has said. Hopefully the album will be better. I loved Don't Believe The Truth. I thought Never Miss A Beat would grow on me and it's close, but not yet. I'm surprised it's doing so well. I don't think they'll ever write anything as good as Modern Way.

I realise it's a lot of work, but why aren't you providing the high and low votes for each song? Pleased those two U2 songs are low: absolutely awful. I liked most of their 90s stuff. They are now writing the same song over and over again. Glad Give It To Me is low. Hopefully The Way I Are will appear soon. The Road To Mandalay should be much higher. Eternity was a bit sappy, but I still love to hear The Road To Mandalay.

Where is the Girls single version? I thought it was released today or yesterday. My understanding is that the Girls at #3 are the remixes and the single version will chart separately on iTunes. Is this correct? Hopefully the Girls combined total will far exceed Pink, Oasis, Boyzone, Killers, Rihanna, and everyone else.

I will be praying that Oasis's The Shock of the Lightning sells incredibly well and prevents that dreadful Pink and her disgusting song from #1. Or perhaps Kings of Leon can continue at #1. Or even better will be the Sugababes brilliant Girls for #1 next week or the following week and we can watch Pink slide down the chart as quickly as Jennifer Hudson.

Beggin' was originally by the Four Seasons. Frankie Valli was not a solo act at that time. No Americans thought that Jennifer Hudson would win American Idol. Yes, people thought she would last longer than 7th, but the favourite was always Fantasia Barrino, with Diana DiGarmo second. Also, I've talked to many people and none of them liked her cover of And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going. Everyone prefers Jennifer Holliday. Regarding the cancelled CD single for Spotlight, doesn't the trend seem to be that most American artists aren't releasing CD or vinyl singles? I know there are exceptions (like Madonna). I hope the British artists continue to release them.

She decides to wear a horrible silver astronaut outfit on American Idol and belts out some cheesy song like Circle of Life. Simon told her that the outfit did nothing for her and basically her voice wasn't good enough to make the finals. So she left that week or shortly thereafter. I think she was #6 or 7. She was shocked when she was voted off, but I was happy as she had a serious chip on her shoulder. Plus she had (and still has) a non-distinctive voice. Then she thinks she can sing And I Am Telling I'm Not Going. She ruined that song. It should only be sung by Jennifer Holliday. I can't stand her or her new song. She's yet another mediocre diva for the BuzzJackers to adore.
