IN 2005, The Freemasons topped the annual Upfront and Commercial Pop charts with their classic Love On My Mind. After electing different champs for the last three years, Upfront and Commercial Pop DJs agree on the year’s top record again, according to our comprehensive survey of more than 20,000 chart returns used to generate the weekly charts in the last 12 months.
They chose What I Want by Bob Sinclar presents Fireball. But, that is something of a surprise. Unlike Love On My Mind, which won massive radio support and crossed over to become a major sales hit, What I Want was heard primarily in clubs. It was unable to overcome the disadvantage of peaking at number 130 on the airplay chart and consequently climbed no higher than number 59 on the OCC sales list, selling short of 15,000 copies. It is fairly lucky to top the annual charts, having gained those crucial extra points it needed to do so from being promoed on two separate occasions in the year.
Its success leaves a track that would have made a worthy champion – Eric Prydz’s Pjanoo – in second place on the Upfront chart, Pyanoo didn’t need two bites at the cherry – it was an instant success, reaching number seven on airplay and number two on sales, attracting 141,248 buyers. It also beat the record for most weeks in the Top 100 of the club chart, eclipsing the 39-week run of David Naughton’s 1979 single, Makin’ It. Pjanoo made its club chart debut on March 22, at number 96, and was number 68, in the last chart of the year, its 41st appearance on the list.

Really surprised by that.
