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.

"Before He Cheats" was on a 2005 album but was a 2006 single in the U.S., so we should let Kat put it in whichever year she wants. I'll vote for it no matter what.

We did "Get Low" in 2003, because I argued that, despite its having charted later in Britain, 2003 was the year it changed music. It made it to the next bracket, though as only the 28th best vote getter, which is even worse than Pazz & Jop gave it.

Yep - Get Low was 2003. Carrie can stay in 2005 though.
