Team (*)215 Who Owns My Heart - Miley Cyrus 214 Grenade - Bruno Mars 213 Candy Shop - Baseballs 212 A Man Walks Into A Bar - Charlie Dore 211 The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars (**)210 Ukulele Swing - Jive Aces 209 Mr Medicine - Eliza Doolittle 208 Modern Sound - One Two Three Cheers And A Tiger 207 Mexico - Dave Moisan (**)206 Spirit Of Santa - Andy Stedman & The Handsome Devils 205 No Control - Holland 204 Sink Like A Stone - Clara Luzia 203 Santo Domingo - Jon Fratelli 202 Lately Layla - Orange Tree (*)201 Song For A Future Love - Frank And Walters (*) Crossed over from 2010 Coming From You - Paper would be #122 in 2010 and #126 in 2011 Who Owns My Heart - Miley Cyrus would be #142 in 2010 and #148 in 2011 Song For A Future Love - Frank And Walters would be #120 in 2010 and #121 in 2011 (Note that 2011 positions are likely to be lower at this point due to the year having had one more chart). (**) indicates that the song is still in the last chart of 2011. At this stage the first chart of 2012 has not yet been compiled. |

200 You Can't Please Everyone - Dash 199 Come On You Young Philosophers! - Strange Death Of Liberal England 198 For Blood - A Brand 197 Little Surprise - Wave Pictures 196 Are You Ready - Fatty Gets A Stylist 195 Sad Song - Cars 194 The Geeks Will Inherit The Earth - I Fight Dragons 193 Honey Bunny - Girls 192 The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie - Red Hot Chili Peppers 191 Help The Girl - Televised Crimewave 190 Don't Let It Happen - James Henry 189 Human Again - Young Knives 188 Best If I Go - Colin Gawel 187 My Boy - 3st 186 This Is What I Said - Cloud Control 185 Adieu - Dallas 184 Summer In The Sand - Paul Melia 183 Hard Rain's Coming - Royal Hunt 182 Empty Inside - Gifted But Twisted 181 Sunrise - Katie Cole (**)180 Without Love - Robinson 179 Feet Don't Fail Me Now - Jake Morley 178 It Tends To Be Enough - Carters 177 Little Joanne - My Sad Captains 176 Battlescars - Travelling Band 175 Mother - Blondie 174 Down - Summer Camp 173 Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - Coldplay 172 Chair - Big Deal 171 Lucky Me - Piney Gir Country Roadshow 170 What You Wanted - Spector 169 Play That Game - Mike Marlin 168 Change - Hotel FM 167 David And Goliath - Risky Heroes 166 Rolling Stone - Pete MacLeod 165 Oh Lies - Piney Gir 164 Be My Man - Asa 163 Blind - Chapel Club 162 I Wanna Be A Rockstar - Kirk Searcy ft Lil' A 161 Just Tonight - Pretty Reckless (**) on last chart of 2011. Pretty Reckless was on the first chart of 2011 as a new entry so doesn't get any extra points in from 2010. Fatty Gets A Stylist were Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall. They did however subsequently withdraw this and re-issue it credited to Kate alone. Therefore if you are looking for "Are You Ready" to listen to, look under Kate Miller-Heidke's name as the artist. |

I'm surprised to see a cover version of Candy Shop by 50 Cent at #213. It seems very out of place compared to all the other songs on this list, but then I listened to the cover and it's completely different to 50 Cent's version!
Although I prefer the original, I qutie like the Baseballs version. It's funny.

160 Like A Fox - Me 159 Duck - Right On Dynamite 158 On A Rainbow (Official London 2012 Mascot Song) - Tom And Carrie Fletcher With West Leigh Junior School Choir 157 Violets Are Red - Like A Real Boy 156 If You Wanna - Vaccines 155 Kissing Gates - Crowns 154 Sunday Everyday - Paradise Oskar 153 Been A Long Time - Wes Carr (*)152 Bring Back Top Of The Pops - One Man And His Beard 151 Bam Bam - King Charles 150 Mirrors - Draymin (**)149 Christmas (Ho Ho Ho) - New Underground Community Choir 148 Monk - Mini Mansions 147 A Cameo Can't Last Forever - Brights 146 The World Is Saved - Danny Wiessner 145 Champagne Lifestyle On Coca-Cola Wages - Rory & The Island 144 Tons Of Fun - Kinky Coo Coo's ft Alex Desert & Greg Lee (**)143 Sailing - Seapony (*)142 Mr. Here Right Now - Abby Travis 141 I Like This One - Joe Stilgoe 140 Local Pub - Scrapy 139 Blisspig - Boris Flats 138 Pin Up Girl - Monroes 137 The Roller - Beady Eye 136 Superpowered Superfly - Michael Monroe 135 Hope You're Better - Applause 134 That Postcard - Frankie & The Heartstrings 133 One More Day - Eldrine 132 Big In The Body Small In The Mind - Selecter 131 A Drowning - Black Black Hills 130 Goldstar - Cashier No. 9 (**)129 Love To Love You - Sophie 128 Gary Glitter Fan Convention - Bitter Springs Those marked (**) are still in the chart, although Seapony has dropped as far as #83 and will probably not spend any weeks in the chart in 2012. Being a Christmas song, New Underground Community Choir will probably disappear fairly quickly from #23, but Sophie, who stands one place lower, may hang around just a bit more. And now time for a video: [youtube]nhpO9W4QKr8[/youtube] Bring Back Top Of The Pops - One Man And His Beard would be #85 in 2010 and #91 in 2011. The single peaked at #6. During 2010, One Man And His Beard was originally going to mass-release throughout the year but stopped after a handful of releases. He did come back though with a couple of others, this being one of them. Right at the end he holds a note for absolutely ages. Abby Travis - Mr Here Right Now doesn't get a video here because she spent just one week in the chart in 2010 at #33, and would only rise to #123 for 2011. |

next 27 positions taking us to a top 100
The last few before the top 100...
127 How Can I Be Free - William White 126 What The Hell - Avril Lavigne 125 Rhythm Doesn't Make You A Dancer - Jon Fratelli 124 She's So Different - Go Go Midgets 123 Reality Bites - Emerald Park 122 Baby We're Refugees! - Jon Fratelli 121 Hard Habit - Zoe Scott 120 Good Girl Bad Girl - Pure Divine 119 My Radio - Abacay 118 What I Heard - Blondie 117 Half Moon Street - Pete And The Pirates 116 Now Is Here - Simon Hassle 115 Claire - Baxter Dury (*)114 The French Word For Love - Blood Oranges 113 Wanderlust - Wolventrix 112 Godless Girl - Crookes (*)111 The Devil Came Down The Chimney - Ed Harcourt 110 Feast Of Hammers - Birdeatsbaby 109 Yuppie Dracula - Smokey b*st*rd 108 Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Tunes - Milk Kan 107 Queen Of Professional Single Mothers - Dirty Flags 106 Under Water - Acid House Kings 105 I Don't Want The World To End On Tuesday - Peculiar Disco Moves 104 Can't Keep Johnny Down - They Might Be Giants 103 Liar In The Room - Successful Failures (**)102 Carol O Carol - New Vorder 101 New Tomorrow - A Friend In London I probably posted this last year but The French Word For Love - Blood Oranges It finished #34 of the year in 2010 when it reached #1 just before Christmas, but adding in its 2011 points too would lift it to 15th. Still fairly low for a #1 but it was only 1 point behind the two above it. In 2011 it would also come 15th. The Devil Came Down The Chimney - Ed Harcourt He had a string of hits especially in the early 2000s and one of them "Apple Of My Eye" went top 10. This entered on the Christmas chart of 2010 then continued to climb in 2011 up to #7 even though, being a Christmas song, it should rightfully have stopped at its entry position. Still it's a very good song. The video is a live version though. It would rise to #94 adding in its one week of 2010. |

100 The Truth That Ran Us Down - Colenso Parade
99 The Aces Are Coming - Between The Wars 98 That Girl - Robinson 97 Nothing At All - [Spunge] 96 Trellic - Baxter Dury 95 Red Bricks - Young Rebel Set 94 Dina Flashigaste Trosor - Wille Crafoord (**)93 Wetsuit - Vaccines 92 Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People 91 Question What's Inside - Rob Herring 90 Stockpiling Poison - Damn Jammage 89 Homeless - Maria Mena 88 Darling Buds Of May - Brother 87 Sneaky Freak - Imelda May 86 The Other Summer - Mini Boone None of these songs were on the first chart but the Vaccines are on the final chart of 2011 at #1 and the 3 weeks in the chart alone are enough to bring it into the top 100. It is notable that nowadays artist will change the credits of already-released material so like "Are You Ready" earlier, "Darling Buds Of May" is now credited to Viva Brother although in the opening of the video it was made before the name-change and you just see "Brother". I tend to keep the same credit as the one used at the time the song was released, this similarly happened in 2010 with Warm Fuzzy changing their name to Wonder Fuzzy. |
