I was fortunate enough to receive a rather lovely leather-bound notebook-type-thing as one of a fabulous range of Christmas presents this year and I've been frantically scrawling in the first few pages all day, trying to compose some form of 'singles of the year' list. I had the 75; it was just positioning them all that proved somewhat tasking. However, here I am, about 7,000 hours later, with the final list. Please - be gentle.
