It's usually about this time of year that I do an update regarding my end of year chart.
This year, I'm hoping to have it done around Christmas. I was hoping to be able to post it on Christmas Eve but that might be too soon, so it should hopefully be up between Christmas and New Year.
I used to start compiling it at the beginning of December but in recent years the number of decent singles released in December has risen from an average of 0 to about 2 or 3.
I've been playing catch-up with regards to music throughout this year. I didn't listen to anything for about 2 months at the start of the year and have generally been about a month behind until now. November's Hamster Hits chart should be up this weekend and then I can get started on picking out the diamonds from the annual December s***-fest. As in previous years (apart from 2005) there won't be a Hamster Hits chart for December.
I think this year's Hamster Hits charts will be a better indication than in previous years of how the end of year chart will look. 2003 was the last year that the #1 in my end of year chart was also a Hamster Hits #1 but I look at this year's #1s and think it's likely the #1 of the year will come from one of those. You never know, though.
A few little pointers for this year's chart:
There could be a couple of acts with 4 songs in the chart.
Only 2 previous #1 acts released singles this year.
This year will probably see the highest ever chart placing by a Japanese act.
1999 was the last time a non-British act topped the chart. No American act has ever been #1.
3 songs from last year's top 100 were re-released this year and may make the chart again.

Who are from Brazil? Some dance act? Guillemots have a Brazilian member (which explains the Brazil-related stuff on the album...)

Roughly 78 of those were in my chart this year.
At random, I'm going for Caribou at #100.
