Best song of 2005: NOMINATIONS

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

# 10 song per person limit on stuff that didn't chart in the UK top 40 in 2005 (except for koganbot, credoimprobus, friend_of_tofu and jeff_worrell who get 11).

# Nominate as many charting hits as you like.

# Nominating fewer than 10 non-charting songs is perfectly fine.

# Do check everyhit for chart placings: if your song might be spelled weirdly and doesn't show up in the results, try searching by artist instead of title (or vice versa) or using 'contains the word' instead of 'first few letters'.

# Posting nominations in a new comment thread rather than as a reply to another comment is strongly recommended, as I am lazy and therefore unlikely to go digging around in nested comments etc.

# Don't worry about repeating someone else's nomination - as far as humanly possible I'll let you know if one of your ten picks is already nominated so you can choose another one.

# Nominate double-A sides and EP tracks separately please!

# Any queries regarding years/chart positions shall be subject to my WHIM.

# Need more help? Have a look at the examples on the 2002 nominations post.

One extra rule for 2005: NO ELVIS RE-ISSUES ALLOWED.

She had on that scarf I gave you, and you got down and tie her laces

More non-charters:

t.A.T.u. - Cosmos (Outer Space)
Ashlee Simpson - I Am Me
Ben Watt ft. Est'elle - Pop A Cap In Your Ass
Lindsay Lohan - First

And now, my final two will need a ruling from JUDGE KAT as to whether they qualify for 2005:

Robyn - Be Mine!
The Veronicas - 4ever

--"Be Mine!"'s chart peak in the U.K. was January 2008, but no freakin' way!
--"4ever"'s chart peak in the U.K. was October 2009, but no freakin' way!

(I hope those are cogent arguments. Let me know how you rule, cause if you rule agin' me I'll need to nominate two others.)

I was going to ask the same thing about the Robyn singles - it would be ridiculous to discuss them in 2008 (especially as any album tracks from the same album would be discussed in 2005 i think)

Robyn is IN.
