Isn't the start of the song "Chinese like a melody"?

Hungary: "Man in the moon" by Csilla Poland: Basia who had a few minor hits in the late 80s and 90s. http://www.chartstats.com/artistinfo.php?id=4979

Gilbratar: Breed 77 had a top 40 hit with "The River".

Her Dad was a Tamil Tiger, so I take it she is a Sri Lankan. Hinda Hicks was Tunisian born and moved to the UK at around 4/5.

Sri Lanka: MIA with songs like "Paper plans" and "galang"

Hong Kong: Leslie Loh with "Boom Bang Bang" in 2003: rJFO3TgAKuw

Seychelles: Boniface with "Cheeky" in 2002/3.

South Africa: Clout with "Substitute" in the 70s and Jody Lei with "Showdown" in 2003.

DJ Quicksilver was from Turkey and had top 20 hits in 1997. Sharleen Spiteri from Texas is half Maltese - would that count?

Tatjana from Croatia with "Santa Maria" in the mid 1990s. Rozalla from Zimbawe with "Everybody's Free" in 1991. Kevin Little from St Vincent with "Turn Me On" in 2003.

I couldn't agree more. Seriously this man is a bigger crook that Vladmir Putin. I mean I thought I lived in a democracy! I will take Dutch nationality if the climb is #1.

69. Shontelle – Stuck to each other Bland and dull R and B rubbish with rent-a-rapper Akon. Goes nowhere and just completly banal. 68. Miley Cyrus – Hoedown Throwdown The first of the Cyrus family entries in this chart. Rubbish country-flavoured pop song aimed towards kids. Gosh when I was a kid we had the likes of Spice Girls, not this annoying Disney brat. Next. 67. McLean – Broken Awful! Crappy going nowhere coma-inducing R and B ballad. 66. Jonas Brothers – Paranoid What’s with these Disney kids raiding the charts? The Jonas Brothers are another waste of space annoying Disney kids act with a pile of crap song. Go away! 65. Pitbull – I know you want me Demeaning rap crap singing about sex and women by a bald headed bloke who if he wasn’t famous, would be causing fights at the local pub. 64. Chipmunk Ft Emeli Sande - Diamond Rings 2009 has been the year of local rappers invading the UK chart. Chipmunk is one of the offenders who we will see often in this chart inflicting mindless songs aimed towards chavs and impressionable teens. This one just takes the p*** about someone bragging about their wealth. 63. Kid British – Our House is Dadless Oh my God, you call this music! Considering this group have been nominated for awards, the jurors must be deaf and stupid! Avoid. 62. Krassimir Amarov – Illusion Bulgaria had a very long-winded selection process for Eurovision 2009 that lasted many months. This was the end product. Three minutes of screeching, shouting and wailing. Seven points was too many for this song. Us9DmtdDDgk 61. Sean Paul – So Fine Remember Sean Paul of songs such as “Get Busy”, “Baby Boy” and “Breathe” – well if you know them, this is the same vein. Boring dancehall rap rubbish. 60. T.I. – Remember Me? Er. Yes. This is just crap. Enough of this rubbish tainting the charts.

I couldn't agree more. It seems that anything "daring" or by a newcomer who isnt friends with the tart Fearne or that t*** Reggie is chanceless. If you notice the chart is mainly full of established artists and Kayne West seems to have an auto top 10 record. Downloads have created a monster.....the newbies are struggling.

A lot of acts seem to be ditching physicals for download only lately. One example is contenders to that horrible X-Factor song such as Whitney Houston, 30h3 and Pixie Lott a few weeks back. Surely with a physical, people who don't want X-Factor could pledge and help the sales very well. Download only - people can be a bit funny with paying for a song, and it doesnt have the feel a physical has where it can be collected and there is artwork on the front and sometimes a B-side. I also think download only hidners acts in the singles charts and can spoil good runs. Personally I think physicals need to be bought back even if they are 99p one track ones. Downloading isn't all that.

#1......just because.

This awful song has been a hit in the US, and played a lot on music channels. Sadly I think this will be #1 :( YNI43Q6MNt0

"In for the kill". My personal record of the year for 2009 is "SHow me what I'm looking for" by Carolina Liar.

Top 3 - just because.

Why is Whitney and 30h3! releasing download-only? Isn't this a cop-out against the fix factor winner?

#88 Seirously these girls CAN NOT SING!

Countdown 79-70 79. Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning One of the most overrated bands in the UK, release another pile of noise which is totally unlistenable. 78. Taken By Trees - Sweet Child of Mine A total destruction of the Guns N Roses classic, turned into a dull guitar ballad. How dare they touch this? 77. T.I. - Whatever you like Another gangsta rap number, with more self-praise and hypocrisy. Considering Mr T.I. is in jail, how does he release? Does he have a little studio in there? Totally crap. 76. Tinchy Stryder - Youre Not Alone A shameful cover of the Olive song in 1997 which sounds like a pirate radio mix with the rapping bits. Totally rubbish. 75. K.I.G. - Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes Mindless chav rap rubbish, put to a kids pop song. Thank God this was not the hit we all feared. 74. JLS - Beat Again One of the most hyped and overrated songs of this year. This has no redeeming qualities whatsoever and was #1 due to it being an X-Factor participant singing the song. 73. Green Day - Know Your Enemy A once good rock group, turned into a crusader of the anti-Bush regime now moaning even more. Politics has no place in the music industry and this inspirationless rubbish was the same old churned out crap from this group they have been recording since 2004. 72. Keri Hilson - Knock You Down Lifeless R and B track, with two rappers ruining it. Keri has so much potential. She is wasted on this song. 71. Kardinal Offshall ft Keri Hilson - Numbah 1 Tide is High See the above. 70. Danni Harmer - Free Kids TV actress wanting to become another Miley/Demi/Jonas Bro clone with a cheap and nasty kiddie rock song.

Here is the rest of the countdown - positions 89-80: 89.Beyonce – Diva What the hell! This sounds like a computer game from the 1980s with very pathetic lyrics. I mean since when was the meaning of diva – hustler? Pathetic. 88. Use Somebody – Ultrabeat 87. Sex On Fire – Tina Cousins It was bad enough with the originals *still* being around, now two third rate dance artists doing covers still keeps these craps going. Will these songs ever die! 86. Sexy Bitch – Akon ft David Guetta Overplayed nothing-y up-tempo song that is very dull and tiring after around 1.30 in. Not a fan. 85. I Love College – Asher Roth Frat boy rap with little redeeming qualities to the song. 84. Britney Spears – Radar The first entry from Mime Act Spears. A pointless electro song which was dated at the time of it’s release with pathetic lyrics “on my radar, operator”. Thankfully it flopped. 83. Cliff Richard and The Shadows – Singing The Blues Grannies fave Cliffie decides to bring his old band-mates back for a horrible cover of this song. Very cringey. 82. Nautri Naughton – Fame How dare she and her mates ruin this classic? Seriously, this even rivals the Disney $h!te that has been around. It’s become another dull R and B song with a stupid rap in it. 81. Big Pink – Dominos Dull Indie track that obviously became a hit through that old trick of an advert. Very bland and boring. Next. 80. The Game – Camera Phone More de-meaning to women rap nonsense. Seriously, who buys this?

The thing is, having Reggie as the chart show presenter is all part of the BBC's "ticking the boxes" where everything has to be set to a demogrpahic e.g. 12-20 year olds. The thing is most of the people in that age range don't listen to it and are probably behaving like hooligans. This is what has ruined the 00s overall. I hope 2010 sees a return to simplicity.

Mods - can this be moved to the right forum please? Thanks :)

I have begun my 100 worst songs of 2009 countdown, where 10 in each part will be posted onto this thread. Your opinions are welcome: WORST 100 SONGS OF 2009 100. Fall Out Boy – American SweetHearts More EMO rubbish for desperate teenagers, by this excuse of a “band”. Same old, same old. 99. Take That – Up All Night Mid-tempo ballad from Housewife’s favourite boyband, that was played to death throughout the earlier part of 2009. Unispiring and totally dull. 98. Candy Rock – Candy Shop Four prostitutes women, with limited talent accompanied by a cheap song and an uber cheap video, with them parading round like an average night at the local brothel, trying to seduce two security guards. Is it me, or is every skank getting a recording contract now? See the video to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrxgNqABM_Q 97. Taylor Swift – Fifteen Dull guitar pop by a young girl, who at her age should be singing more joyus songs. I mean who cares about her constant bore-fests and whining? 96. Kelly Clarkson – I Do Not Hook Up What happened Kelly? You were this sweet Idol girl with these angsty rock songs and deep ballads, now you’re one of the many corporate clones clogging up the charts with this un-inspiring rubbish. 95. Blazin Squad – Let’s Start Again No thanks. You tried to come back in 2006 with the dodgy “All Night Long” which failed, then you inflict this pile of rubbish sounding more chavvier and talentless than ever. Not even the fans came out for this as it went to the dizzy heights of the 60s. 94. Vanessa Jenkins ft Bryn West – Islands In The Stream Two characters from “Gavin and Stacey” with an odious cover for charity of a country classic. 93. T2 ft Michelle – Come Over Remember that $h!te “Heartbreak” from late 2007? Well this was in the same vein. Ringtones for chavs which are blasted on public transport each day. 92. Robin S – Show Me Love Whats with the endless re-mixes of this song! It was fine enough with the one version in 1993, not annual remixes of it! Apparently there will be a 2010 version! Is it me or does Robin S REALLY need the money? 91. Leon Jackson – Stargazing The worst X-Factor winner till date (until either Lloyd or Danyl wins) releases another one-trick pony, dull swing number that sold probably around 100 copies. Thank God he isn’t around anymore. 90. The Soliders – Coming Home A group highlighting the awareness of troops based in Afghanistan and Iraq decide to release an odious saccharine-sweet ballad which is basically thinly disguised propaganda. Pass the sick-bucket :puke2: .
