Opinions?

[Apple202]

2009 being five years ago D:

[Drew.]

the chart 5 years ago > this years

[Gstar]

2009 was a great year for music. 2013 had no substance, stand out moments (bar beyonce) whatsoever

[Z]

I much prefer the music scene now but 2009 is the better chart out of the two given there

[Pete.]

2009 great top 15.
2013 **** top 15.

[Ninastar]

it was sooo much better back then

[T*]

I miss music back then :( Also I can't believe that's 5 years ago D: I've been on this forum 5 years?!

[Redway]

Shows how much music has gone to sh*t these past few years.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Tbf, people were saying that then and long before

[Z]

Music's not gone to ****; it's just that the music industry has geared itself towards the mainstream in a lowest common denominator way. What you see in the charts might be crap in comparison to decades gone by; but plenty of great music is still out there, you just need to be more active in looking for it, rather than relying on the radio to present good stuff to you.

[Locke.]

Not all that different really

[Jessica.]

2009 was such a great year for music! :worship:

[Z]

Yeah most of the artists in that chart are still going strong today

[fingers]

It all went downhill from here:

[Saph]

I can't believe the 00s was half a decade ago :shocked:

[Redway]

I miss music back then :( Also I can't believe that's 5 years ago D: I've been on this forum 5 years?!

Weren't you about 8 or something? :S

[Z]

Weren't you about 8 or something? :S

He was banned for about two years, I believe Tom was 11 when they found out he was underage, in 2011 iirc, possibly 2010?

[Benjamin]

That chart update for this year is incorrect. Timber is currently #1

[Redway]

He was banned for about two years, I believe Tom was 11 when they found out he was underage, in 2011 iirc, possibly 2010?

Definitely 2011 because I remember vaguely and I hadn't signed up until that point.

[Brother Leon]

Same ****,different year.

[Samm]

2009 >>>>>>> 2013

[Mystic Mock]

2009's chart is a lot better than 2013's.

[Marc]

2009's #8 > 2014's #8

[MeMyselfAndI]

Eitherway Leona is still top 3

[Mystic Mock]

Leona the ultimate Goddess.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Both years flop XF winners keep her off #1

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf it is only their winners singles.
