MrH's Top 100 of 2007 (FULL CHART WITH LINKS)

[Panda]

It's usually about this time of year that I do an update regarding my end of year chart.

This year, I'm hoping to have it done around Christmas. I was hoping to be able to post it on Christmas Eve but that might be too soon, so it should hopefully be up between Christmas and New Year.

I used to start compiling it at the beginning of December but in recent years the number of decent singles released in December has risen from an average of 0 to about 2 or 3.

I've been playing catch-up with regards to music throughout this year. I didn't listen to anything for about 2 months at the start of the year and have generally been about a month behind until now. November's Hamster Hits chart should be up this weekend and then I can get started on picking out the diamonds from the annual December s***-fest. As in previous years (apart from 2005) there won't be a Hamster Hits chart for December.

I think this year's Hamster Hits charts will be a better indication than in previous years of how the end of year chart will look. 2003 was the last year that the #1 in my end of year chart was also a Hamster Hits #1 but I look at this year's #1s and think it's likely the #1 of the year will come from one of those. You never know, though.

A few little pointers for this year's chart:

There could be a couple of acts with 4 songs in the chart.

Only 2 previous #1 acts released singles this year.

This year will probably see the highest ever chart placing by a Japanese act.

1999 was the last time a non-British act topped the chart. No American act has ever been #1.

3 songs from last year's top 100 were re-released this year and may make the chart again.

Looking forward to it.

Cornelius.

[o]

Will there be a Brazilian act in there as well?

[frag]

Who are from Brazil? Some dance act?
Guillemots have a Brazilian member (which explains the Brazil-related stuff on the album...)

[Maximo Mark]

CSS? Bonde De Role?

[Panda]

CSS have a good chance of making it in.

A special prize of a biscuit goes to whoever manages to guess what will be at #100...

Pretty much a lottery. I have no idea even what will be my #100.

No biscuit for you then.

Roughly 78 of those were in my chart this year.

At random, I'm going for Caribou at #100.
