NM Top 952 of 2006 [90-81 now up]

[Earl Purple]

Before the chart is counted down on here, the top 100 is played on Radio Earl Purple. This was actually broadcast twice starting around 10am and finishing around 11:30pm (repeat around 4:45pm) on Monday 1 January.

Wouldn't be normal if I didn't count down every single that had reached my chart during the year.

The chart is purely points-based and is based on the charts only dated from 7 January to 30 December 2006, so any singles that were high in the chart at the end of 2005 may still have been in the lower positions in 2006 and get a low placing in the chart. Similarly, singles that were high in the chart at the end of 2006 that have not completed their chart run will appear comparatively low.

I am going to count down as follows:
952->802
801->651
650->500
500->400
400->300
300->200
200->151
150->101
100->81
80->61
60->51
50->41
40->36
35->31
30->26
25->21
20->16
15->11
10->9
8->7
6->5

[Earl Purple]

oh well I did get quite a few listeners, particularly on the evening repeat (I ran the loop twice). Had a listener peak of 5. Regularly had at least 3.

I will start counting the chart down soon.

If I had more time, I'd have tuned in Neil, also think it gets blocked on our pc

[Panda]

Wow! Up to the top 100 already!

[Earl Purple]

We've reached the top 100 so we're in the songs that were played on the radio show countdown. I think 10 at a time, with commentary....

100 My Burning Sun - Sons Of Jim
Only hit in my chart for this band. Reached NM #9 in June. Guitar-based band from Northern Ireland. They had a previous single "Fairytale". I have no recollection of that song.

99 On The Radio - Concretes
One of two different songs in the top 100 with this title, both of which were in the chart at the same time. The Concretes are a fairly established band in the NM chart. Peaked at #7 at the beginning of July.

98 Suspicious Character - Blood Arm
I think this might be the band who released a single that I threw the cover away because it had sandals on it, and ended up storing the CD in a plastic cover instead. That may have been this single which was their only hit of 2006. Reached #7 in October

97 The White Hare - Seth Lakeman
Singer-songwriter, acoustic ballad, surprised this didn't get higher but it only peaked at #7 in November although I thought it had reached the top 5.

96 Nat King Cole - Adam Green
He doesn't do as well singing about men as about women, because prior to this he had three NM #2 hits, all of them names of females. He did once reach #1 back in his Moldy Peaches days but has never managed it yet solo. This reached only #6 in May.

95 Anglia - Laibach
Rather fantastic industrial rock track which contains snippets of "G-d Save The Queen" i.e. the National Anthem, not the Sex Pistols song. Peaked at #7.

94 Break The Night With Colour - Richard Ashcroft
Ex-Verve frontman continues into the new era of rock bands. Reached #8 in February.

93 Edwould - Larrikin Love
This is another one that I would have expected to be higher. The intro sounds very Gypsy-style and you might be forgiven at first for thinking this is a Gogol Bordello track. Pretty much for that reason I ended up buying their album too. They released 4 songs from it, this was the biggest hit, reaching #7 at the end of April.

92 Last Night I Nearly Died - Duke Special
At one point I had this band confused with Duke Spirit and they were credited in my chart as such, but this is a different band. With bands like this it's just like Brit-pop is right back again because for me it wasn't about the big bands but also the smaller ones like Geneva that were charting too and songs like this were not too uncommon back then. This peaked at #6.

91 Baby Boom - Crimea
This was one of their earlier singles re-issued because of the success of "Lottery Winners On Acid". Unfortunately this flopped again in the UK - I was a bit surprised about that. In the NM chart it also didn't do as well as "Lottery Winners.." (which appears higher up), but did peak at #6 in September.

[Earl Purple]

90 Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt
In the chart at the tail-end of 2005, this was his 4th NM hit following on from "High", "Wise Men" and "You're Beautiful". This one peaked at #6.

89 You're Like A Woman - Broken Family Band
This made an unusual "about turn" having peaked at #15 then fallen to #18, before climbing back to peak at #9. A desparate tale of a broken-hearted man.

88 Nothing's Gonna Change Your Mind - Badly Drawn Boy
Another piece of brilliance from Damon Gough, surprised this didn't do better but did peak at #5 in October.

87 Sea Of Trouble - Cord
This rock ballad peaked at #6 in October.

86 In The Morning - Razorlight
They may have had internal problems in 2006 but it was a good year for them in the charts. This peaked at #6 in July.

85 Bluenote - Harrisons
Great rock song, reached #7 in March. Reminiscent a bit of the Futureheads.

84 Ali In The Jungle - Hours
The Hours were originally a band called Mescaleros that was formed by Joe Strummer in 1999. Strummer died and Antony Genn and Martin Slattery (who was also previously in Black Grape) formed the Hours. This song was all about coming back and surviving against the odds. Peaked at #7 in November, although I thought it had got higher

83 England My England - Dead Poets Society
In June we were flooded with World Cup songs, in fact the playlist was going to be so big that I excluded any that were not original songs. This one did survive the cut, and made it into the top 10, peaking at #7. It was co-written by former DJ Mike Read, whose other attempts at songwriting have not been so well received in the NM chart.

82 Rise Up With Fists - Jenny Lewis
Jenny Lewis was the lead singer with Rilo Kiley who had two NM #1 hits in 2005, finishing at #2 and #9 in the chart of the year. In 2006 she recorded an album with the Watson Twins, with this single and "You Are What You Love". This single was the bigger of the two hits, peaking at #6 in April.

81 Flame - Bell X1
For Bell X1 this was their 3rd hit. Their first few singles flopped then they finally broke with "Snakes & Snakes" in 2003, reaching #8. They achieved their biggest hit to date with "Eve The Apple Of My Eye", peaking at #1 for 4 weeks in the summer of 2004, and finishing 7th in the chart of that year. This is their first hit since then peaking at #7 in April.
