Here are my top 100 singles of 2006

OK, I wasn’t going to post this, but then I figured why go to the trouble of compiling my favourite 100 singles of 2006 if I wasn’t going to share it with the world? Perhaps someone out there will spot a song they really like, or maybe share the same infinity for an unknown act as me. I just found out there are websites out there featuring favourite song lists of ordinary music fans. And I thought I was the only one.
