This is a special New Year being the end of a decade, what 0's hits will you play?

Mark Ronson Ft. Amy Winehouse - Valerie

its struggle to think back the full 10 years but more modern tunes will include Kings of leon, noisettes, prodigy and pendulum

Hang on - im not working tonight - off to a party but will more than likely wind up working in a fasion for nothing.

Time to dig out the 'now' collection for some forgotten classics

Good plan, wonder what Now number takes us back to 2000?

Answer NOW 45 April 2000

Apparently the 10 biggest selling singles of the decade were:

1. Will Young - "Evergreen"
2. Gareth Gates - "Unchained Melody"
3. Shaggy - "It Wasn't Me"
4. Tony Christie/Peter Kay - "Is This The Way To Amarillo?"
5. Band Aid 20 - "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
6. Hear’Say - "Pure And Simple"
7. Shayne Ward - "That's My Goal"
8. Kylie Minogue - "Can't Get You Out Of My Head"
9. Bob The Builder - "Can We Fix It"
10. Atomic Kitten - "Whole Again"

Out of which the only one I'd play for pleasure is Whole Again (long story, oh the memories!!!) and the only one I'd play when working is Amarillo, but it's been played to death.

Here's the top 20 songs of the noughties according to the survey for the Channel 4 programme. I've added some comments:

20. Leave Right Now - Will Young
Good song, not great for working though.

19. Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs
Boring, boring, boring, boring!!!

18. Valerie - Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse
Good for getting the middle-aged dirty divorcees dancing, but the Zutons version is far superior

17. Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Absolute rubbish

16. Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
With a rifle, I'd be tempted to take them out. Matinee was alright though.

15. Mercy - Duffy
Another one for the dirty divorcees. Over-played, over-rated, but might get requested.

14. Patience - Take That
The worst song they've released since they came back. Stick Shine on. Or the older stuff!

13. Stan - Eminem
Was that this decade? Feels like forever ago. Good tune, but not for working.

12. I Don't Feel Like Dancing - Scissor Sisters
Probably the song from this decade with the best chance of standing the test of time.

11. Hey Ya! - Outkast
Fantastic song from a criminally under-rated duo

10. You're Beautiful - James Blunt
Noise pollution

9. Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Kylie Minogue
Supposed floorfiller that always seems to have the opposite effect for me, I never rated Kylie, I rarely play her stuff and virtually never get any requests. Sorry to explode the myth.

8. Crazy In Love - Beyonce
The only good thing Mrs Carter has ever done.

7. Rule The World - Take That
Does nothing for me.

6. Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
Hard to argue with.

5. Rehab - Amy Winehouse
Dreadful song, terrible artist.

4. Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon
Half decent filler material, shouldn't be on this list though.

3. I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys
Half decent filler material, shouldn't be on this list though.

2. Mr. Brightside - The Killers
Poor song by a shockingly over-rated band.

1. Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
This makes me physically ill. The song is terrible, I despise the band.

Not enough genuine floor fillers from 2000- 2009 to play through new years eve. I doubt whether I will no more than 5 or 6 tunes from this era tonight.

You cant beat honesty! Where was Cha Cha slide BTW

here is a comprehensive list of noughties no.1's - tunes

That list of #1s makes for grim reading Dave! Other than Fascination - Alphabeat, I'm struggling to think of a good tune from this decade. Right, I'll take your advice and check the NOW albums. Obviously they will be missing a few good tracks but, based on the NOW albums alone, I shall prepare my comprehensive list. Watch this space.

Deep breath, here goes:

Toca's Miracle - Fragma (Timeless)
Born To Make You Happy - Britney Spears (What a decade she's had!!!)
Sitting Down Here - Lene Marlin (Great wee tune)
Cartoon Heroes - Aqua (They rock, get over it)
Ooh Stick You - Daphne & Celeste (see above)
C vs I - Cuban Boys (Fantastic Song)
Reach - S Club 7 (Cheesy classic, and enjoyable to watch people dance to)
Shackles - Mary Mary (cool tune)
The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang (fun song)
Absolutely Everybody - Vanessa Amorosi (Timeless)
Silence - Delirium ft Sarah McLachlan (Classic)
Buck Rogers - Feeder (terrible song but people love to sing along)

Chase The Sun - Planet Funk (aka the Darts song)
The Way You Make Me Feel - Ronan Keating (far too good a song for him)
Ms Jackson - Outkast (Incredible)
What Would You Do? - City High (Very under-rated)
Set You Free - N Trance (one of the greatest songs of all time ever)

Chelsea Dagger - Fratellis (Gets em goin)
Yeah Yeah - Bodyrox ft Luciana (Great tune)
Umbrella - Rihanna (Awesome)
Cupid's Chokehold - Gym Class Heroes (quality)

Fascination - Alphabeat (incredible)
Dance Wiv Me - Dizzee Rascal ft Calvin Harris (classic)

I think some of the biggest anthems must be
black eyed peas : I gotta feeling
amy winehouse : valerie (which I find really useful as a link song between modern and motown sets)
kings of Leon : sex on fire
the killers : mr brightside
