And Sam Cooke was 'The Man Who Invented Soul' so it does all get a bit contestable. I like James Brown too though. Hopefully this news will get people listening to his records again.

I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing that fewer songs chart, or that songs hang around for longer. But it was kind of inevitable. Thanks to the online music stores, people can buy songs months after the single was released. You're no longer limited to what the stores have in stock - nothing sells out. You also only have to pay 80p for that song rather than up to £5 for ex-chart items. That's a good thing.

Both members are American.

Kylie Minogue (I) for me.

Thanks for this. It's been a pretty good year. Lots of songs on that list that I like and bought - and it's pretty diverse.

Only 50 for 'Don't Forget About Us'!? I don't understand that as it was a #1 - and it was released so long ago. These Billboard year-end charts go from October-October (or something like that) so I thought 'Forget' would be much, much higher. Anyway, appearing on all 4 charts is pretty good. Especially having the #11 best-selling album.

My #1 won. Great. Well done Russ also

I never do well on these games. Second is great. Blast! I would have won if they'd excluded those pesky Pogues!

Christina. My votes for Cassie aren't getting me any more. And poor 'Touch It' - it's in my top 5 of the year.

Oh and I shall be buying ****loads of Mariah tracks to put on my shiny new iPod that I'm getting tomorrow. I shall think of you all when I do that

I can smell my christmas dinner now. Just wanted to wish everyone a very merry christmas. Thanks for all your support this year - even when we were struggling on the league tables there were still so many people posting things worth reading. Lots of love xx

I think the top video was used for the #1's video. Would have to check though. I remember her being splayed like that. Thanks for these Conor. An early christmas gift for us.

If you go to everyhit.com, you can get a list of all the top 20 hits for each month this year. Just narrow the date to Jan 2006 -Jan 2006 (then Feb 06 - Feb 06 etc.) and put the minimum position as 20

Sean-A Paul is amazing. I look forward to that song. The title sounds a bit big band though. A sequel to 'Subtle Invitation'? Amazing! With a strange man saying his own name a lot? Even better!

I saw that. Did the plasticine use the whistle-note as a special move? :lol:

I know. I heard it before the album came out and I was bemused. The song's not great.
