Mark-style rankings here... one in regular made my chart, ones in italics were bubblers, ones in bold will be year-end top 100, ones in red might be year-end top 20.
198 Magnificent - U2
196 A Fairytale Ending - Boy Least Likely To
193 Song Away - Hockey
189 That Golden Rule - Biffy Clyro
188 Christmas Thanks For Nothing - Slow Club
187 You Know Me - Robbie Williams
A few here that I don't know, but from artists who later broke into my chart, e.g. Wallis Bird.

180 Ready Set Don't Go - Billy Ray Cyrus & Miley Cyrus
179 Lie Low Lilo - Mike TV
178 Don't Walk On By - Lightning Seeds
177 All The King's Men - Wild Beasts
176 Gimme Sympathy - Metric
175 Dance 'Til We're High - Fireman
174 Beware Of Falling Rocks - Steve Cradock
173 Football (Home Version) - Bermondsey Joyriders
172 A Better Ghost - Butcher Boy
171 Duck Duck Love - Liz Fodor
170 Stronger Than Jesus - A Camp
169 Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Bublé
168 Love Has Left The Room - A Camp
167 Down By The River - Jon Allen
166 Pencil Full Of Lead - Paolo Nutini
165 The Slacker - Bastila
164 Love Etc - Pet Shop Boys
163 Allein Allein - Polarkreis 18
162 Dreammaker Ave - Trashmonkeys
161 De Vlinders Achterna - Dana Winner
In this section we have father and daughter - Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus.. could have been worse, might have been Keith and Lily Allen... All of Miley's singles within the last year or so have performed better than The Climb.. Dana Winner, the only artist ever to top the chart with a foreign language single, got her second big hit. Paolo Nutini also finally had a big NM hit and Polarkreis charted with a song we'd known for a while from Havenvision.

Comments using an adaptation of Maximo Mark's scheme. I hope this is OK for all Haven skin colour schemes (inconveniently for my usual colour conventions, the festive scheme uses green text as the default!):
Listed = Probably would have reached IJ Top 10
Italic Purple = Probably would have been IJ#1
Bold Green = Probably in the top 20 of the year
200 Anything Goes - AC/DC
198 Magnificent - U2
193 Song Away - Hockey
192 Closer To You - Super Funky Fever Monkeys - An excellent song; the band really lives up to this fantastic band name here
189 That Golden Rule - Biffy Clyro
185 LaLa Land - Wallis Bird - OK, but another song by the same act is far superior
184 Holiday - Answers On Postcards
182 All Turn To Love - Galleon - Something really engaging about this, even though it's not usually my sort of style
181 Fairytale - Alexander Rybak
179 Lie Low Lilo - Mike TV - I discovered this band as 'Pickled Dick' (they changed their name, probably a good idea) on Myspace a couple of years ago. Their 'Salamander' made my Top 200.
177 All The King's Men - Wild Beasts
176 Gimme Sympathy - Metric
172 A Better Ghost - Butcher Boy
166 Pencil Full Of Lead - Paolo Nutini - Only just. I liked this first listen but it became irritating very fast.
165 The Slacker - Bastila - Far superior to the previous track, while bearing similarities
164 Love Etc - Pet Shop Boys
163 Allein Allein - Polarkreis 18
162 Dreammaker Ave - Trashmonkeys
161 De Vlinders Achterna - Dana Winner

The Billy Ray Cyrus / Miley Cyrus song was more regular country music / ballad and sounded nothing like Achy Breaky Heart.
Next 20:
160 Obama Song - Michael Franti & Spearhead ft SoliLLaquists Of Sound Cherine Anderson & Anthony B
159 Shady Esperanto & The Young Hearts (Sixth Street Mix) - Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers
158 Trophy Room - Slow Club
157 A Flair For The Obvious - Barry D Birch
156 Who Says - John Mayer
155 Juggernauts - Enter Shikari
154 Dead Disco Dancer - O Children
153 Arrows Of Eros - Golden Silvers
152 Fly On The Wall - Miley Cyrus
151 Lily Allen - PJ Clare Band
150 I Don't Know - Lisa Hannigan
149 Can You Tell - Ra Ra Riot
148 See Fernando - Jenny Lewis
147 Fly With Me - Jonas Brothers
146 Desolate Icicle - Travelling Band
145 The Dream Team - Fake Problems
144 No You Girls - Franz Ferdinand
143 Phil Lynott - Jape
142 21 Guns - Green Day
141 Red Travellin' Socks - Malcolm Middleton
On two of those, the title of the song is also the name of a singer (or in one case a former singer). So don't get confused, the artist names are always on the right.
Jenny Lewis, combining her solo work with that of Rilo Kiley, is my top performing female vocalist of the decade.

142 21 Guns - Green Day

140 to 121:
140 Pornstar - Amy Meredith
139 Rot In The Sun - Presidents Of The United States Of America
138 International Financial Crisis - Members
137 We Are The Men You'll Grow To Love Soon - Let's Wrestle
136 Open Up Your Door - Richard Hawley
135 Roadsinger - Yusuf Islam
134 Wrong - Depeche Mode
133 Evident Utensil - Chairlift
132 We Share The Same Skies - Cribs
131 You Are The Best Thing - Ray LaMontagne
130 Back To The 80's - Aqua
129 My Christmas Card To You - Shooting Stars
128 Be My Valentine (Anti-Crisis Girl) - Svetlana Loboda
127 Let It Go - Nina Ferraro
126 Black Swan Song - Athlete
125 Just Go Home - Xcerts
124 Plough And Orion - Skinny Lister
123 Calm Down Dad - Helen Love
122 Ctrl+Alt+Delete My Heart - They Live By Night
121 Trouble Is A Friend - Lenka
This is the list where I start to see some really good songs. The Members broke a chart record making a comeback with a new single after 30 years of absence. Yusuf Islam is also a big name from the past, being the same as Cat Stevens. Aqua's comeback was more successful on this chart than on the UK chart, even though in the early days they didn't achieve anywhere near on this chart what they did on the UK chart. Nina Ferraro is one I hope to hear a lot more of and I have chatted with her a few times on facebook and myspace. Haven't chatted with Svetlana Loboda yet, unfortunately. Now if people want a sexy woman singer, she is the one for me.
