WOW, what a year it's been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
an odd year as we had 53 charting weeks, something which has never occured whilst i've been charting!!!!
a look back at the #1's of the year n how long they spent there:
let me love you - Mario [6 weeks]
1, 2 step - Ciara featuring Missy Elliott [2 weeks]
let me love you - Mario [1 more week] [7 weeks in total]
rich girl – Gwen Stefani featuring Eve [2 weeks]
boulevard of broken dreams - Green Day [1 week]
candy shop – 50 Cent featuring Olivia [6 weeks]
hollaback girl – Gwen Stefani [7 weeks]
don't phunk with my heart – Black Eyed Peas [1 week]
we belong together - Mariah Carey [9 weeks]
don't cha - Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes [3 weeks]
shake it off - Mariah Carey [4 weeks]
gold digger - Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx [7 weeks]
run it - Chris Brown [3 weeks]
stickwitu - Pussycat Dolls [1 week]
so mariah holds the title of having the longest #1 single of the year with ''we belong together'' which nabbed up 9 long weeks at the top spot!!
mariah also spends the most weeks at #1 for the year with 13 weeks with both her songs!!!
only 1 song managed 2 have a double dose at the top spot with the same song this year.. mario's ''let me love you'' spent 6 weeks at the start of the year and then made way for ciara's ''1, 2 step'' and then returned to the top for another week hogging the lime light for an incredible 7 weeks!!!!!
2005's biggest artists on the weekly top 20 included 50 cent (6 songs), gwen stefani (5 songs), kelly clarkson (4 songs), mariah carey (4 songs), ciara (4 songs), black eyed peas (3 songs), green day (3 songs), destiny's child (3 songs) and akon (3 songs).
so will be interesting if these above artists make the top 100 year end with all their songs..
a look back at the #1 song from previous year ends!!
1989 ~ like a prayer - Madonna
1990 ~ nothing compares 2 u - Sinead O'Conner
1991 ~ everything i do (i do it for you) - Bryan Adams
1992 ~ end of the road - Boyz II Men
1993 ~ can't help falling in love - UB40
1994 ~ i swear - All 4 One
1995 ~ kiss from a rose - Seal
1996 ~ macarena - Los Del Rio
1997 ~ candle in the wind '97 - Elton John
1998 ~ i don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith
1999 ~ believe - Cher
2000 ~ say my name - Destiny's Child
2001 ~ hanging by a moment - Lifehouse*
2002 ~ dilemma - Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland
2003 ~ in da club - 50 Cent
2004 ~ yeah! - Usher featuring Ludacris & Lil' Jon
2005 ~ ??.??
so who will join the list and by the 2005 inductee??
* can a song which didn't reach #1 beat the odds and be the #1 year end song like in 2001??
can an artist acheive 2 #1 year ends, only kelly rowland can claim this as she is a member of destiny's child and featured on nelly's single both of which were the #1 year ends of 2000 and 2002!!
