2007 In Music: Singles and Unreleased Tracks of the Year

[tongsinanpei]

Having a chart for most of this year has made compiling year-end lists easier than ever before, although it's highlighted some of the more glaring omissions: Nerina Pallot's "Everybody's Gone To War", which extended its twenty-two-week chart run into 2007 and was on the charts longer than any song besides this year's #1, missed the top ten when it

Yay for Nelly Furtado. We have the same artist with our #1 songs, but diferrent songs. Of course Say It Right was a #1 hit ofr me in 06 and spent all of 07 on the down ward path.

But Window Shopping was not that great of a song, and I credit your pushing of that over No More as what probably killed Jamelia's career on my chart. :)

[tongsinanpei]

Well, why didn't No More hit #1, then?

[danielspice]

too late. It got lost in the shuffle and was only released after the album went into album rotation, which usually kills any future songs hopes of top 10 status.

[tongsinanpei]

How odd. The album is pretty awesome, though - I was listening to it again this morning and I still really like the whole thing.

Nelly just missed a hat-trick, though - she had #1 album last year and #1 single this year, but missed #1 unreleased track.

Nelly did not hat trick for me. She had #1 Song, #1 Artist, but not #1 CD (only because the CD was split over two years)

She is the only artist ever to have two year end #1s for me.

And she even threw in a year end #2 for good measure.

We still have two songs in common in our top tens for '07, which is quite an achievement given how much our charts differed for most of the year.

[danielspice]

Where's Beware of the Dog for you?

[tongsinanpei]

Ineligible. I charted it last year, and it didn't come anywhere close to hitting the year-end top ten then.

[tongsinanpei]

In fact, "Window Shopping" is the song that brought Jamelia back to #1 after "Beware of the Dog" debuted at #4 and then rapidly dropped off the chart.

[danielspice]

such an inverse effect. Where is your album list?

[tongsinanpei]

It will come. Eventually. By the end of the month.

I thought you wer eon the phone, yet you comment now?

[tongsinanpei]

I was.
