[Music]

Only 5 songs I like and want to save What a woeful year.

 

[D5K]

It picks up towards the end but what an atrocious lineup.

 

[RJN]

I hate Elvis’s voice

 

[Soldi]

I feel like this is another year where the winner will be obvious..

 

[lolly]

Only 5 songs I like and want to save What a woeful year.

That's generous. I went for 2.

 

[lolly]

I hate Elvis’s voice

I refuse to vote Elvis until we get on to the 1957 survivor.

 

[VV]

There's a lot worse here than Elvis!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

There's a lot worse here than Elvis!

There bloody isn't.

 

[Devil]

God that’s an atrocious lineup

 

[BoysForSeles]

No wonder I went back to being stuck in the 80s and 90s around this time.

 

[Iguana]

2005 should be ASHAMED of itself!

 

[Shoat]

2005 forever regrets not having bright, breezy and relistenable "Shiver" number one for the whole year

 

[Devil]

I guess sales were so low that there were a lot of fan base #1’s that otherwise would’ve come nowhere near.

At least streaming pretty much stops that. Unless your Taylor Swift, but when your fan base pretty much is the WORLD then you get a free pass.

“The noughties was a great time for music”

 

[AGinAg (37)]

2004-2005 was such a dip in the charts, before the pop explosion of the late 00s.

RIP the charts 1953-2013

[Halli]
