Songs in bold made my chart, ones in red and bold were #1s.
100 Poppy & The Jezebels 'UFO' [P.S.

#81 is definitely a grower - it took two months to reach my #1 spot.
80 Christian Falk ft Robyn 'Dream On' 79 Imogen Heap 'Not Now But Soon' 78 The Hours 'See The Light' [Calvin Harris Remix] 77 The Mae Shi 'Lamb & The Lion' 76 Last Shadow Puppets 'Standing Next To Me' 75 David Holmes 'Holy Pictures' 74 Shinichi Osawa 'Star Guitar' 73 Late of the Pier 'Bathroom Gurgle' 72 Kanye West 'Homecoming' 71 Ting Tings 'Shut Up And Let Me Go'
Quite a few average-to-good (6/10) songs in this set that bubbled, but didn't quite reach my chart.
70 The Strange Death Of Liberal England 'Angelou' 69 Mates of State 'Get Better' 68 M83 'We Own The Sky' 67 Hercules & Love Affair 'Blind' 66 Ladyhawke 'My Delirium' 65 Coldplay 'Violet Hill' ;D 64 Robyn 'Be Mine' ;D 63 Tilly & The Wall 'Beat Control' 62 Mystery Jets 'Two Doors Down' 61 The Hold Steady 'Sequesetered In Memphis'

Ft Rihanna 'Live Your Life' 53 Glasvegas 'Geraldine' 52 Late of the Pier 'Heartbeat' 51 Britney Spears 'Piece of Me'
029 The Long Blondes 'Century' (30-16-03-02-02-02-05-08-16-24-35)
I think in 5 years time the album will be hailed as a work of genius that got lost in the shuffle.
Think this list is about as close to mine anyone else will get. There's about a 10% overlap, although the positions are very different (VV Brown is close).
Where nothing means a lot and now nothing's all we've got In the bland age

I disagree; I found the Long Blondes' second album material to be disappointingly dull, after the quality of their first album (or the singles from it, at least).
