The following nominations I have deemed to have been released in 1999 or earlier:

Apollo 440 - Stop The Rock
Static X - Push It
A3 - Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)
Snake River Conspiracy - Vulcan
Razor-N-Guido - Do It Again
Phil Vassar - Carlene
DJ Godfather - Whatchoolookinat?
Broadcast - Echo's Answer
Baxendale - American Friend
Baxendale - Switzerland
Baxendale - Heat Activated
Groove Armada - I See You Baby (Fatboy Slim remix)
Aimee Mann - Wise Up
Aimee Mann - Save Me
Isolée - Beau Mot Plage

To prevent our indecision taking us from behind (and my spreadsheet from melting), I have decided on the following method to determine the release year:

1. It made the UK top ten according to everyhit.co.uk
2. It made the UK top 40 according to everyhit (i.e. if it got re-released and made the top ten, we'd go for the year it was a bigger hit, cf Sonique)
3. Discogs UK release date
4. Discogs US release date
5. My werk database
6. Wikipedia/other interweb source

I know this is very UK-centric but it should all balance out by the end of the decade and prevent us having any Miley Cyrus difficulties later on :)

You've still got a few hours left to nominate! We're still missing A1's cover of 'Take On Me' and Bob The Builder...
