My top 100 of 2006! (FULL CHART now up)

[Panda]

Here are the first sets of positions...

100. BC Camplight - Blood And Peanut Butter
Chart debut.

99. The Automatic - Raoul
Chart debut.

98. Richard Hawley - Coles Corner
Chart debut. (Has previously charted as a member of the Longpigs)

97. Echo & The Bunnymen - Scissors In The Sand
Chart debut.

96. Mystery Jets - Diamonds In The Dark
Chart debut.

95. The Feeling - Sewn
Chart debut.

94. Matt Costa - Cold December

93. Beauty Shop - Monster
Chart debut.

92. Fallout Trust - Washout
Chart debut.

91. Concretes - Chosen One
2nd appearance in chart. Best: You Can't Hurry Love (#28 in 2004)

[Doctor Blind]

Interesting chart- eclectic taste, a lot I haven't heard of.
So far from your list, I know and like the following:

99. The Automatic - Raoul
96. Mystery Jets - Diamonds In The Dark
95. The Feeling - Sewn

I think the Mystery Jets one (which was on an EP I think) is my favourite from those. The Automatic are re-releasing that song, which was already a Top 40 hit this year, in January.

I don't think are charts are going to be that similar this year, you've got a lot of the tracks that did ok but not stunningly well. On the whole, I do like the vast majority of the tracks you're including.

Oh and 2 of the previous 10 will be in my top 200...

[Panda]

Tremendous!

It's been a very open year. I don't think any act has been particularly dominant overall. The Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol and Razorlight have done well, sales-wise but don't feature a great deal in my chart.

No act has more than one single in the top 20 of my chart, the first time that's ever happened and only one act has two singles in the top 30.

[Panda]

30-21:

30. Foo Fighters - No Way Back
8th appearance in chart. Best: This Is A Call (#3 in 1995)

29. The Gossip - Listen Up!
2nd appearance in chart. PEAK

28. Mazarin - Another One Goes By
Chart debut.

27. King Creosote - 678
Chart debut.

26. My Architects - Under The Pines
Chart debut.

25. Muse - Supermassive Black Hole
8th appearance in chart. PEAK

24. Thom Yorke - Analyse
Chart debut. (Has several previous chart appearances with Radiohead and one uncredited appearance with Drugstore)

23. Vines - Don't Listen To The Radio
7th appearance in chart. Best: Get Free (#4 in 2002)

22. Mogwai - Friend Of The Night
2nd appearance in chart. PEAK

21. Thea Gilmore - Cheap Tricks
Chart debut.

Coming soon, the top 20... 20 songs, 20 different acts. Can't remember what I was going to say next...
