Quite a lot of crossover with my favourites of those years here, although clearly your chart was not Top 40 specific as mine was.
In 2005 Feb and Oct are the same (excellent) song - is this correct?

Oooh, liking your 2003's. Easyworld, Hot Hot Heat, and Delays are all great songs. And a special yay! for Clinic "Walking With Thee" in 02.

Apr: Haven - Til The End I remembe this band and they had a few hits in my chart. Never knew at the time we'd end up on a forum called Haven.
Jul: MASS - Hey Gravity I remember liking this song and it reached my top 10.
Feb: Delgados - All You Need Is Hate Was their biggest NM hit but only peaked at #3.
Jun: Thrills - Big Sur When a common #1 does finally come up I'm quite surprised for it to be this one.
Nov: Belle And Sebastian - Step Into My Office Baby And another. Belle And Sebastian have had more NM #1s in the 2000s than any other artist, unless you count Cinerama and the Wedding Present as the same act.
Mar: Thirteen Senses - Thru The Glass Peaked at #3 in mine but in the one year that Easyworld did actually get an NM #1 early in the year they didn't manage it in yours.
Aug: Cathy Davey - Clean And Neat I can't remember this though I may have charted it. She did have a big hit in my chart last year with Reuben.
Thirteen Senses - Thru The Glass Haven't I seen this somewhere before?
Magic Numbers - I See You You See Me2006 Another common #1.
Oasis - Acquiesce And I did chart this too it having appeared on a B-sides compilation I made of them myself in 1995, one of very few bands for whom I did that.
Midnight Juggernauts - Into The Galaxy At least one I remember actually charting.

Just looked up Cathy Davey in my chart in 2004. Had two singles, Clean & Neat and Cold Man's Nightmare both of which peaked in my chart at #16.

Mar: Thirteen Senses - Thru The GlassPeaked at #3 in mine but in the one year that Easyworld did actually get an NM #1 early in the year they didn't manage it in yours. Thirteen Senses - Thru The GlassHaven't I seen this somewhere before? The second release of Thru The Glass was a re-recording. I think it may have gone top 10 or come very close in the UK chart. I preferred the older version.

Five number ones in common, two of which stuck around for most or all of the month in question.

Thanks!
I'd certainly recommend the ones you haven't heard. The Midnight Juggernauts track is this year's best kept secret. It's quite possible you might have heard it but not known what it was...

Despite being out of work at the moment, there's still more music to listen to than I quite have time for - I'm in the middle of finishing the top 20 of my #1s countdown, and also have a release list to get through today. And I'm trying to play through my #1s as I post them... Even so, I've found Midnight Juggernauts on YouTube and will play it within the next hour ;D

An instrumental about the sinking of a ship? Sounds surreal, and pretty unique!
On a side note, I am three degrees of separation from iLiKETRAiNS - I know someone who knows someone who used to be in the band.
