 Download
only - no CD!
For the tenth year in a
row that I have now done this there are twelve tracks for
you to download/play this year - one for each of the months of the year.
But be aware that I am not
sending out CD's this year!
You have to download the
files here from the website, either in AAC or MP3 format. You can of
course play them direct from here, or download them locally and sync
to your iPod/MP3 player. And if you really want a copy on CD, then you
can burn the MP3 tracks to a blank CD and do it that way.
Top 5's
You can (as always) vote for your
favourite five tunes of the year, and from the votes that I get in I'll
compile a chart of our favourites and publish them sometime in January
2007, alongside the the previous years [below].
UK or USA?
In case you've been living in a cave for
the last year, then you can't fail to know that I moved from the UK
to the USA back in May of 2006.
This has proved to be somewhat of a challenge
when coming to make a 'review' CD. Do I have a UK or USA slant on the
music and news? The answer is ... I've stuck with the mother country
and gone for England.
 So
extra kudos to me please for being able to do that from 4,000 miles
away - and apologies to any American listeners where there are obviously
songs that have been hits in England which have not been so here. In
which case - treat it as a musical education!
AAC/iPod
 If
you have iTunes/iPod, it's recommended that you download and save these
AAC files which come complete with artwork, track numbers and other meta
data. Import & sync the download files into iTunes, sync them to your
'pod and away you go ...

MP3/Other
 If
you have any other digital music player, want to hear the files direct
from this site, or want to burn the track to CD, use these MP3 links instead
by either downloading or playing direct from this page.

Mistakes
Because I don't claim to be perfect, and I
hate getting emails that say "You
cocked up when ..." here's a list of the mistake which I already
know about because I've spotted them.
- In January, I claim that it's been a "Big
big year" for the Arctic Monkeys when in fact they only
had one other Top 10 hit in August that I didn't feel was good enough
to include in the review.
- I call the Keane album "The
Man Under the Iron Sea" for some reason. It is in fact just
called "Under the Iron Sea"
- The Jack Johnson song is just called "Better
Together".
- Three and half minutes into July, I refer to the month
being 'June' instead ... twice - oops!
- The intro to December "This
is Marshall ... Geoff Marshall" for the bond song, I used
back in November 2002 when introducing the previous Bond theme - Madonna's
"Die Another Day", so yes - I reused an idea from a previous
review, just in case you thought it sounded familiar.
