2006


The Top 150 Hits of… 2006

Whoa! I haven’t done one of these for almost 5 months. Haven’t been doing much with iTunes since then as I’ve been favoring my comic book hobby. But here we are with a new list.

At #96 is “Not Ready to Make Nice” by the Dixie Chicks. It had a full 20 week run in 2006 which, by itself, would have put it around #138. But six months later, after the 2007 Grammy Awards where the D.C.s swept the major categories and this song won Record and Song of the Year, it came back for another 4 weeks, including a week at #4. It was cheating a little not to treat those additional weeks as a re-release, so to compensate a little I subtracted the four lowest weeks in the previous chart run (which only came to 2 points), giving the song an even 20 weeks again.

At #93, “Do I Make You Proud” by American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was #1 in it’s first week but was only on the chart for 8 weeks. According to my point system it shouldn’t even be on the year-end list. But according to Billboard it’s in the 90s. So I know that being at the top of the chart for a short time and then quickly falling off throws my system off. Such was the case with the song at #150. It was only on the chart for 11 weeks but one of them was at #4, and an additional 4 weeks were spent in the top 40, only one less than “Do I Make You Proud.” I have no idea where it should be, so I tacked it on the end.

On a personal note: I only have 81 of these songs.
