Thanks Frag! Good to see you liking so many!

I quite liked doing the histories myself, they're quite interesting. Weird that of Coldplay's 8 entries 4 have been within four places of the top 40!

[Maximo Mark]

040 Lady GaGa 'Bad Romance' *3rd hit* *peak*

History:
'Paparazzi' (#77, 2009)
'Just Dance' (#74, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I

039 Ke$ha 'Tik Tok' [Fred Falke Remix] *debut* / *2nd hit*

History (Fred Falke):
Little Boots 'New In Town' [Fred Falke Remix] (#43, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfPNRBr5QyY

038 Animal Collective 'Brother Sport' *debut*

www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEIhXPK0TSM

037 Saint Etienne 'Method of Modern Love' *debut*



036 Glasvegas 'Flowers and Football Tops' *4th hit*

History:
'It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry' (#59, 2008)
'Geraldine' (#53, 2008)
'Daddy's Gone' (#19, 2008)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOUm7CiBXsU

Lady GaGa continues her run of excellent singles with 'Bad Romance' at 40, more from the mainstream with Ke$ha at 39, the original of 'Tik Tok' is an ok song but I find the Fred Falke really kicks the life into it that it needed, just like he did with 'New In Town'. Animal Collective get their first entry, Saint Etienne's criminally underrated pop song appears as do Glasveags, continuing their good from of 2008.

[Maximo Mark]

035 Delphic 'Counterpoint' *2nd hit* *peak*

History:
'This Momentary' (#66, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHhmyyahh4s

034 Florence & The Machine 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)' *3rd hit* *peak*

History:
'You've Got The Love' (#71, 2009)
'Drumming Song' (#63, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nxO-yPQesA

033 Ellie Goulding 'Under the Sheets' *debut*

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfn4peALtlY

032 A.R. Rahman ft M.I.A. 'O...Saya' *debut* / *3rd hit*

History (M.I.A.):
'Jimmy' (#80, 2007)
'Paper Planes' (#11, 2008)



031 Beautiful Small Machines 'Robots In Love' *debut*

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttH4Rd8djPM

Plenty of new artists here, Delphic are definitely ones to watch out for in 2010 and have lots of hype surrounding them at the moment (deserved, too!), Florence was this years Brits Choice Award winner and she's closely followed by Ellie Goulding, who's next years winner! A.R. Rahman may have found chart success with the Pussycat Dolls but it's his collaboration with M.I.A. that made me take notice of him and his Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack. 'Robots In Love' is a beautiful 3 minute pop song, I can hope they might be successful one day.

[Maximo Mark]

030 Doves 'Kingdom of Rust' *6th hit*

History:
'Caught By the River' (#34, 2002)
'Pounding' (#11, 2002)
'There Goes the Fear' (#01, 2002)
'Black and White Town' (#30, 2005)
'Winter Hill' (#79, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhbK8kQW4LI

029 Muse 'Uprising' *5th hit*

History:
'Time Is Running Out' (#46, 2003)
'Hysteria' (#24, 2003)
'Butterflies and Hurricanes' (#06, 2004)
'Supermassive Black Hole' (#60, 2006)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQmps-Sog

028 Black Eyed Peas 'I Gotta Feeling' *2nd hit* *peak*

History:
'Let's Get It Started' (#71, 2004)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=19rG2CHvCQY

027 The Prodigy 'Omen' *2nd hit* *peak*

History:
'Girls' (#91, 2004)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=olHnyslc-OM

026 Mumford & Sons 'Winter Winds' *debut*



A far more well known 5 than the last group. Doves were back on form this year and lead single 'Kingdom of Rust' is as good as anything on the album, Muse enter with a song which I loved as soon as I heard, not something that happens often with them. It's not often I enjoy the biggest selling and most overplayed songs of the year but I just can't tire of 'I Gotta Feeling', The Prodigy were back on form too this year with 'Omen' and 'Winter Winds' has an unsurprising wintery feel and is my Christmas number one!

[Maximo Mark]

025 Lady GaGa 'Poker Face' *4th hit* *peak*

History:
'Paparazzi' (#77, 2009)
'Just Dance' (#74, 2009)
'Bad Romance' (#40, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_de3C3Pkb8Q

024 The Pains of Being Pure at Heart 'Higher Than the Stars' *2nd hit* *peak*

History:
'Come Saturday' (#69, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNpSX42EcKw

023 The Drums 'I Felt Stupid' *2nd hit*

History:
'Let's Go Surfing' (#94, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWvpw6TyORE

022 Ash 'Arcadia' *7th hit* *peak*

History:
'Envy' (#53, 2002)
'There's a Star' (#51, 2002)
'Orpheus' (#81, 2004)
'Starcrossed' (#28, 2004)
'Joy Kicks Darkness' (#87, 2009)
'Return of White Rabbit' (#52, 2009)



021 Little Boots 'Remedy' *3rd hit* *peak*

History (Little Boots):
'Meddle' (#47, 2008)
'New In Town' [Fred Falke Remix] (#43, 2009)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=McdqerXrwXE

The other huge song of the year appears in 'Poker Face', again I just cannot tire of it. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are my favourite new band of the year, the Drums don't sound too dissimilar to them and are another big hope for 2010, 'Arcadia' is easily the best of the Ash A-Z series so far and Little Boots makes another appearence with 'Remedy'.

[Earl Purple]

This is rather too fast. I'm glad you liked Love Of An Orchestra because for me it's their biggest hit, albeit it reminds me a bit of recent Sparks.

Thanks Hits! Good to see a few number ones in there, even if they are all lower down. Surprised you didn't include 'Untouched'.

Actually I forgot 'Untouched' made #8 in my chart so yes that should be included.

Here's more faves from your End of Year chart. Again, tracks in bold are chart toppers for me:

40 Lady GaGa 'Bad Romance'
39 Ke$ha 'Tik Tok'
37 Saint Etienne 'Method of Modern Love'
34 Florence & The Machine 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)'
30 Doves 'Kingdom of Rust'
29 Muse 'Uprising'
28 Black Eyed Peas 'I Gotta Feeling'
27 The Prodigy 'Omen'
26 Mumford & Sons 'Winter Winds'
Lady GaGa 'Poker Face'
Little Boots 'Remedy'

Looks like my no. 1 hit of 2009 have been spread throughout your top 100 of 2009 so far. I wonder if any more will make an appearance in the top 20.

Thanks Hits, after seeing your list of number ones elsewhere I can safely say they haven't all appeared yet, hope you like quite a few of my top 20!
