Those positions are their highest positions in the chart of the year I assume. I think Beck's biggest NM hit is still "Loser" which doesn't give much credit for everything he's done in the 14 years since then. "Loser" reached NM #6 but I don't think I extended the chart of the year that far that year and it wasn't done points-wise.
White Stripes have only had two top 10 hits in my chart, with "7 Nation Army" (#2) and "You Don't Know What Love Is You Just Do As You're Told" (#7).
The Clik Clik got into my chart this year with a song about Donks and I probably only downloaded it because I got them confused with the Ting Tings (this was after Great DJ but before That's Not My Name so it's sort-of understandable) but it reached my chart anyway...

Kiss With A Fist reached my top 10 but I didn't think much of Dog Days Are Here and didn't chart it.
Interesting that you list all those nationalities. 2007 was the year I had artists from Germany, France, Belgium and Finland all top my chart. (First ever from Belgium and Finland, first from France since La Belle Epoque in 1977).
2008 did see for the first time an NM #1 by an act from Denmark (neither Whigfield nor Aqua ever managed one in my chart), and the first from South Africa since Clout in 1978.

I think you mean Dunks. It was a song about trainers. |

Five of the above are in my top 100. You can probably guess which five.

I'll get round to listening to it soon ;D |

The top 10... 10. Tegan And Sara - The Con  2nd appearance in chart. Highest: Walking With A Ghost (#6 in 2007) 9. Portishead - The Rip  5th appearance in chart. Highest: Sour Times (#6 in 1995) 8. Sons And Daughters - Darling  5th appearance in chart. PEAK7. Be Your Own Pet - Black Hole  4th appearance in chart. PEAK6. Shortwave Set - Now Til' 69  2nd appearance in chart. PEAK5. Midnight Juggernauts - Into The Galaxy  Chart debut. 4. Kills - Last Day Of Magic 7th appearance in chart. PEAK3. Violet Violet - Twin On Twin Chart debut. 2. Johnny Foreigner - Our Bipolar Friends 3rd appearance in chart. PEAK1. SON OF DAVE - HELLHOUND Chart debut. Hands up, who was expecting that to be #1? If you don't know who Son Of Dave is, his real name is Benjamin Darvill and he's a member of Crash Test Dummies (no, he wasn't the singer and yes, they're still going). He's now based in the UK and has his own solo career. Both Son Of Dave and Hellhound first came to my attention over 3 years ago, when he performed the song on Later With Jools ( clip). I was amazed by the combination of genius and skill. So was the singer from the Coral if the clip is anything to go by. So I was delighted when the song was included on his new album and released (sort of) as a single. I'd encourage everyone to have a look at some of his other Youtube clips. Thanks to Manic for his hard work on the weekly release lists, without which I'd be totally lost, especially as I've generally been 2 months behind for the last couple of years. Thanks to everyone else who contributes to those lists and to everyone who's read or commented on this year's chart. |

My compliments on how you presented your chart, with the little flags and all. Looks good. For music we differ a lot, so most songs in your chart are unknown to me or are not really my favourites. Three songs are very good though, those from Lykke Li, Sebastien Tellier and M.I.A.
