I let you a little time to wonder the big winner, the battle between Noel and BDI or the artist with two records on the top25

I know, I just had one free hour and some will...

You could of saved your will for this years lists

Either way, great work Barny, look forward to the rest of the list

is a shame cos my list would probably be quite different now

looking forward to seeing this years list next november anyway

Yes Barny!

Great work

Only 11 months late.

Much like Tob's mum's abortion.

I'll wait for the full list from 2011 before getting too excited
