Inevitably after 1966, 1976, 1986 and 1996 I'm posting 2006 this week.
Don't worry, it's a bit too soon to be doing 2016 next week.

Anyway, it turns out I have posted this before, but it was back in 2013,
which was closer to the actual chart date than it is to now. And it was
only the Top 75 anyway so you get an extra 25 tracks, some of which are actually good. At least you know they'll be better than the Number One
single, which is possibly the worst ever.
Plus we get two consecutive tracks by the same act with
thematically-connected titles.

Playlists are here. Again there's only one track I couldn't find on
either Spotify or YouTube. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2zqjaqPvNaXRm7hayF4ICC?si=TIBrdg1KRF2CpCqxqz76AQ

Chart date: 4th Feb 2006

I'm not sure what I remembered of many of these tracks back when you
posted the chart in 2013 but looking down this list there's quite a
number I don't recall now.

1.   (2) Notorious BIG ft Diddy & Nelly    Nasty Girl

This being one of them. I think I just remember not liking it.

2.   (1) Arctic Monkeys    When The Sun Goes Down

Not as good as their debut hit but still OK.

3.   (4) Beyoncé ft Slim Thug    Check On It

Nope, don't recall.

4.   (8) Hi_Tack    Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U)

I assume this is something to do with Macca and Jacko's 1983 hit?

5.   (3) Will Young    All Time Love

Vaguely recall. A bit dull if I remember.

6.   (5) Shayne Ward    That's My Goal

The archetypal X-Factor winner's song. Entered at the top with an
astonishing 742,000 sales if I recall. Bland song.

7.   (6) Nizlopi    JCB Song

This one hung around the top 10 for far longer than I recall, including
4 weeks at number 2 after its sole week at the top. I think I used to
veer between liking this song and finding it a bit annoying. I think it
may best be described as being "cute".

8.   (7) Sunblock    I'll Be Ready

Nope, no recall.

9.  (30) The Ordinary Boys    Boys Will Be Boys

Did this climb after Preston appeared on Celbrity Big Brother. Decentish throwback ska song.

10. (NE) A-Ha    Analogue (All I Want)

I remember it charting but don't remember the song.

11.  (9) Richard Ashcroft    Break The Night With Colour

Decent effort by the fomrer Verve lead singer.

12. (11) Brian Kennedy & Peter Corry    George Best-A Tribute
[Brian Kennedy - You Raise Me Up; Peter Corry - The Long And Winding
Road; Brian Kennedy & Peter Corry - Bring Him Home - Vincent (Medley)]

This had quite a lengthy chart run for a tribute song including climbing
to its peak position (of #4). A gifted footballer who ultimately wasted
his talent.

13. (14) Madonna    Hung Up

Possibly her last decent single.

14. (12) Black Eyed Peas    My Humps

A very silly song.

15. (NE) Pharrell Williams    Angel
16. (NE) Young Jeezy ft Akon    Soul Survivor

No recall.

17. (16) Jose Gonzalez    Heartbeats

Decent song.

18. (15) Texas    Sleep

I forgot they had a 2005/6 comeback. Forgettable song.

19. (18) James Blunt    Goodbye My Lover

Not very good.

20. (20) Sugababes    Ugly

I quite liked this one. In fact I quite like a few Sugababes songs.

82. (70) 2Pac ft Elton John    Ghetto Gospel

My favourite song by a dead rapper in this chart.

TBH I only remembered the name of the band but not the song. And
actually it wasn't what I expected.

98. (RE) Phantom Planet    California

The ones I don't remember from this chart are mostly because I actively avoided them.

{showtune/cover version}]
13. (14) Madonna Hung Up {samples Abba, as if you didn't know that}
17. (16) Jose Gonzalez Heartbeats {cover of a song by The Knife, this
version well-known from an advert}
21. (21) DHT ft Edmee Listen To Your Heart {cover of the Roxette hit}
