US #1s of 2006

I am so out of it.

My top 5:

1. My Love
2. Promiscuous
3. So Sick
4. Laffy Taffy
5. Temperature

Went Ne-Yo. It feels like I should go for "My Love", but there's something about it that just leaves me really cold for some reason.

only two songs i actively dislike on this list!

1. irreplaceable
2. london bridge
3. promiscuous
4. temperature
5. ridin'
6. so sick
7. sexyback
8. my love
9. laffy taffy
10. check on it

Top four:
#1 SOS
#2 Laffy Taffy
#3 Check on it
#4 Temperature

bottom four:
#15 Hips Don't Lie
#16 London Bridge
#17 Bad Day
#18 You're Beautiful

"Laffy Taffy" went #1. Huh.

Voted "You're Beautiful". I hate that song, but the rest on this list are all even worse.

^^Suggest Ban

Irreplaceable

And to think if "You're Beautiful" weren't a #1, he would've voted "Bad Day."

Yes, obviously. I hate that song too, but it's better than all the R&B/hip-hop crap that has dominated the American lists completely lately.

"lately"

(xpost) "Laffy Taffy" FTW.

Geir, don't you even like "So Sick"?

Does Taylor Hicks count as hip hop?

this is a pretty nice lineup. ordered from love to hate:

Chamillionaire, "Ridin'"
Justin Timberlake, "My Love"
Fergie, "London Bridge"
Beyonce, "Irreplacable"
Ne-Yo, "So Sick"
Beyonce, "Check On It"
Rihanna, "SOS"
Nelly, "Grillz"
Sean Paul, "Temperature"
D4L, "Laffy Taffy"
Taylor Hicks, "Do I Make You Proud"
Shakira, "Hips Don't Lie"
Akon, "I Wanna Love You"
Nelly Furtado, "Promiscuous"
Justin Timberlake, "SexyBack"
James Blunt, "You're Beautiful"
Daniel Powter, "Bad Day"
Ludacris, "Money Maker"

this is Irreplacable vs. Hips Don't Lie

Might have to vote "SexyBack" since no one apparently likes it anymore. (Granted, I've only been to two wedding receptions since 2006.)

Ridin' is so epic. That's that.

Plus it inspired this:

shakira. But didn't Crazy come out that year? How could that not make it to number 1?

I voted for "SexyBack" over "Irreplaceable" and "Promiscuous", but good list, would still be happy to stumble upon a radio station playing this stuff.

"Crazy" went to #2

lolololol Taylor Hicks, hip-hop icon

"Irreplaceable." I prefer "Sexy Love" to "So Sick."

Voted "You're Beautiful". I hate that song, but the rest on this list are all even worse.

i don't even know what to say

i think You're Beautiful is my least favorite song of all time

Everyone knows that Geir is messing with everyone and actually voted Chamillionaire, right?

Geir, don't you even like "So Sick"?

"So Sick" might have been OK with a totally different arrangement. Although Stargate generally write very boring and formulaic songs.

where is that thread where people find geir's slsk folder filled with wu-tang clan and biggie?? can never remember what it was called

Holland-Dozier-Holland generally write very boring and formulaic songs.

Well, anyway 2006 saw great singles being released from the likes of Muse, Keane, The Feeling, Pet Shop Boys, Flaming Lips, Sloan, The Kooks, Orson and Snow Patrol. Why couldn't the Americans buy them instead of all that R&B and hip-hop crap? (And bad MOR ballads in an otherwise OK genre of music from Blunt and Powter)

People did buy that Snow Patrol song IIRC

Wow. Flaming Lips? Seriously? I think it's because "the Americans" are smart and have good taste in music.

Voted My Love. Great year though.

1. "My Love"
2. "Irreplacable"
3. "Ridin"
4. "SexyBack"
5. "Promiscuous"

Went with Chamillionaire but there are some other good tunes on this list- i must have really followed pop radio in '06 since I know like all these songs. I'm so out of the loop these days!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

at the time i would have said "irreplacable," but at the moment the one i'd most like to hear is "so sick."

ridin' fairly easy.

though i don't remember money maker but it's ludacris so it's probably a good song

My Love. Been a couple, not sick of it yet, though I'm sure any day now...

though i don't remember money maker but it's ludacris so it's probably a good song

this assumption is incorrect

"London Bridge" is one of M.I.A.'s best songs.

Voted "Laffy Taffy" because I thought Geir would appreciate the vote of confidence.

Glad someone thought the Taylor Hicks swipe was funny, Dan.

"Irreplaceable" has held up really, really well to my ears. Wins over "S.O.S."

"money maker" is one of my least favorite rap singles of all time

also never got the love for "ridin", shit is annoying as fuck. same for "temperature", which is maybe my least favorite sean paul single

my top 5 are

1. "so sick" (one of my 20 fav singles of the decade probably)
2. "promiscuous"
3. "my love"
4. "laffy taffy"
5. "i wanna fuck you" (plies version ^____^)

*irreplaceable*
hips dont lie
ridin
check on it
SOS

youre beautiful

^supposed to be like 10 spaces btw

"London Bridge" is one of M.I.A.'s best songs.

Let's discuss the new M.I.A. single: "London Bridge"

;_; fuckers!

1. My Love
2. Sexyback
3. So Sick
4. Promiscuous
5. Ridin
6. Irreplaceable
7. SOS
8. Check On It
9. Temperature
10. Hips Don't Lie

"temperature" sounds awesome IN THE CLUB

not really sure how i'd vote here, i didn't think 2006 was particularly a good year but there's some strong stuff here

I want to re-do my top ten list for this year, btw...Three fucking brilliant albums in FutureSex/LoveSounds, Ys and Silent Shout

There is extremely little strong stuff in this list. Like in most lists of Billboard #1s from the noughties.

Things have improved somewhat in the past couple of years. R&B/hip-hop have become slightly less dominating even in the US.

hey geir you're an idiot stop posting

congrats you now have wrong opinions about facts

Well, James Blunt represented the beginning of the end for the total dominance of R&B/hip-hop in the billboard singles charts. Even if he sucks, he deserves a good portion of props for that alone.

are you on crack

like i get hating on r&b and rap is your shit but you do realize that you are grossly wrong right now

here are the top 10 most successful songs of 2008 according to billboard http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/yearend/2008/charts/hot-100.shtml

And you always think, Always speak Cryptically...

Just having Leona Lewis and Sara Bareilles in there is a change from the R&B dominance of the earlier noughties.
Surely there is way better music that should have been there instead of those two, but it took some time for good melodic music to replace the Elton John's and Bryan Adams's in the UK charts too, once the Brits got sick of house and other unmelodic crap.

Plus there is a really good song as 2008's #13.

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

Jordan, there are suggest ban buttons next to each of Geir's posts and you will have much less stress if you just make use of one of those instead of letting Geir troll you out.

it took some time for good melodic music to replace the Elton John

I'm just amazed that in Geirworld Elton John does not count as melodic

PS 'Hips Don't Lie', a smidgeon above 'My Love'. Or maybe the other way round?

Haha, high-five to Tape Store, I didn't know about that "London Bridge" thread. Mind meld, brah.

I'm just amazed that in Geirworld Elton John does not count as melodic

No, no. Elton John is melodic. But in the early 90s, the only proper melodic music around for record buyers was the likes of Elton John and Bryan Adams. A few years later Britpop arrived, and new melodic talent entered the scene again.

Christ yeah I still shudder when I remember those rough days in the early 90s when record shops stocked nothing but Elton John and Bryan Adams.

Mate of mine got caught smuggling a bunch of Nat King Cole 78s. Got sent down for 5 years.

What about The Wonder Stuff, Geir? You never mention The Wonder Stuff.

They are the eight-legged elephant in this US #1s of 2006 poll

What about The Wonder Stuff, Geir? You never mention The Wonder Stuff.

"Size Of a Cow" was fantastic!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I'm sure of it. But even a redundant suggest ban is more cathartic than the frustation of getting Geir-trolled.

James Blunt, "You're Beautiful" 6
Fergie, "London Bridge" 3
Daniel Powter, "Bad Day" 2

WTF why??

lol @ NV putting "51" on geirbot.jpg

Ne-Yo, "So Sick" 6
James Blunt, "You're Beautiful" 6

Run those two titles together, get an awesome song!

As I've said, Blunt and Powter are both horrible. But so were the rest of 2006's American chart toppers. So no wonder those got more votes than my one protest vote for Blunt. :)

i voted london bridge fwiw

stone kold klassik

can't fucking believe some people don't have 51 SBs yet
