A VAST COLLECTION OF CLASSIC HIT SONGS REPRESENTING 21 YEARS OF GREAT MEMORIES FOR MAJOR HITWAVES	THE 2006 MASSIVE MEMORY MUSIC AWARDS

AWARD BEST HARD ROCK HIT TITLE Sugar, We're Goin' Down ARTIST Fall Out Boy I first heard Fall Out Boy's rockin' debut smash at the end of August 2005 on Tampa Florida's 93.3-FLZ. It took a couple of months for it to eventually make it onto our chart, but once it did it was MASSIVE. It spent a full 9 weeks in a row at # 1 to become our longest-running rock hit at # 1 since Creed's "Higher" spent 13 weeks at # 1 in 2000.

AWARD BEST POP ROCK HIT TITLE Dirty Little Secret ARTIST The All-American Rejects In December 2005 I joined the XM Satellite Radio revolution. My favourite station since the beginning has been the continuous countdown that is '20 On 20'. One of the biggest hits on there at the start was this smash that I literally discovered on my new world of satellite radio. It was one of their most-played hits during the first couple of months of 2006.

AWARD BEST POP BALLAD HIT TITLE Bad Day ARTIST Daniel Powter After the surprising stateside success of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" it was time for another similar-sounding British pop song from a fellow male British singer. In came Daniel Powter on the radio. His "Bad Day" stormed up the charts to become a HUGE anthemic hit for losers. We then found out that Daniel Power was actually from British Columbia Canada.

AWARD BEST POP DANCE HIT TITLE Check On It ARTIST Beyoncé Ft. Slim Thug Some songs have 'it' on first hearing. Check. It was a catchy - even addictive - out-of-the-box smash that I couldn't help but sing along out loud to whenever it came on the radio. Some songs never get old and tired. Check. I can hear it today and love it as much as I did when I first heard it. It's an instant classic ! It's a MASSIVE Memory !

AWARD BEST HIP HOP HIT TITLE Ridin' ARTIST Chamillionaire Ft. Krayzie Bone The debut smash from Chamillionaire was not only an overwhelming commercial smash, but it was also critically-acclaimed with Grammy nominations, a People's Choice Award nom, BET Hip Hop Awards won, and the 2006 MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video won. Its ringtone was also the biggest-selling in history - certified triple-platinum by the RIAA. 2006 - It's the year that Chamillionaire exploded into the Mainstream and earned himself a 2006 MASSIVE Memory Music Award !

And so there you have it - the winners of the 2006 MASSIVE Memory Music Awards. Fall Out Boy, The All-American Rejects, Daniel Powter, Beyoncé / Slim Thug, and Chamillionaire are officially inducted into our MASSIVE Memories. 4 out of the 5 artists made it onto our covetted MASSIVESMASH.COM Hall-Of-Fame with their debut smash. Beyoncé did it with her 4TH solo chart single, and so she now has two MASSIVE Memories to include Destiny's Child's "Lose My Breath". NEXT WEEK we begin an all-new year of MASSIVE Memories for 2007. Each week a new song will be inducted for all the right reasons, and it will join the existing 455 memories into MASSIVESMASH.COM Hall-Of-Fame history. Be sure to join us each week to see if one of your favourite classic hits of the past 21 years is inducted. Keep sending us your requests !

THIS YEAR'S HOTTEST HITS IN THE LAND

CELEBRATING 11 YEARS OF HITS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB !

2006 1 PK 1 WKS 31 PTS 544 2 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Everytime We Touch ARTIST Cascada	In 2002 and 2003 when we were 'Pure Dance' European trance and techno totally dominated our chart. We returned to our mainstream pop roots early on in 2004, and imported dance music pretty much disappeared from our scene. U.S. TOP 40 stations - slow to embrace the genre - gave this track a try out on their airwaves as 2005 came to a close and morphed into 2006. It turned out to be one of the TOP 30 hottest hits of 2006 at mainstream pop radio.
2006 2 PK 1 WKS 23 PTS 530 7 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Dirty Little Secret ARTIST The All-American Rejects	The All-American Rejects out of Stillwater Oklahoma (home of Oklahoma State University) scored a # 1 debut smash that was powerful enough to end the 9-week run at # 1 by fellow tourmates Fall Out Boy ("Sugar, We're Goin' Down"). They followed it up ... with another # 1 smash in "Move Along".
2006 3 PK 1 WKS 24 PTS 442 2 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Ain't No Other Man ARTIST Christina Aguilera	Christina's 11TH hit on our chart since her Summer Of 1999 debut was surprisingly her 2ND # 1 smash and also her 2ND longest-running smash on our chart - 2ND in both cases to "Beautiful" in 2003. Christina is a featured artist on our Selected Chart Discographies page.
2006 4 PK 2 WKS 26 PTS 434	TITLE Pump It ARTIST The Black Eyed Peas	The Black Eyed Peas posted 2 hits on our TOP 50 Of 2004 and 3 hits on our TOP 50 Of 2005. This is their only hit on this year's chart. It was their 6TH hit in less than two years to peak at either # 1 or # 2 and also rack-up at least 18 weeks on our chart.
2006 5 PK 4 WKS 26 PTS 421	TITLE S.O.S. (Rescue Me) ARTIST Rihanna	Rihanna's hit music career started off with a bang. She spent 53 weeks in a row with us (August 14th 2005 - August 13th 2006) with her 4 hits overlapping each other (starting with "Pon De Replay").
2006 6 PK 3 WKS 27 PTS 413	TITLE Hips Don't Lie ARTIST Shakira Ft. Wyclef Jean	Aside from The Black Eyed Peas the only other artist that is on our TOP 10 for the year that was also on our TOP 10 for 2005 is Shakira. In 2005 "La Tortura" was our # 8 smash of the year.
2006 7 PK 1 WKS 28 PTS 399 3 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Over My Head (Cable Car) ARTIST The Fray	12 of our current TOP 25 hits (of the week) are on our TOP 50 chart here, and this is the highest-ranking of them all. It's a rock, pop, and adult contemporary smash that joined our chart at the end of June - and it's been with us ever since. It's our 2ND longest-running smash of the year.
2006 8 PK 1 WKS 19 PTS 358 3 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Sexy Back ARTIST Justin Timberlake Ft. Timbaland	Justin Timberlake's first radio single in over 3 years turned out to quickly become his biggest solo smash ever all over the world. It was the 11TH biggest smash of 2006 at U.S. Mainstream Top 40 radio, and it was the only song in the TOP 20 of that chart to not receive any airplay at all from January through June.
2006 9 PK 1 WKS 17 PTS 339 6 WEEKS AT # 1 ! (3 ADDITIONAL WEEKS IN DECEMBER 2005)	TITLE Sugar, We're Goin' Down ARTIST Fall Out Boy	This is one of the greatest hard rock songs in recent memory. At least that's what I think about it right now. I've said that about other 'great' songs in the past, and some of them have maintained their greatness over the test of time while others have faded away anonymously. Ask me again in about 5 years whether or not I think that it is still a rock masterpiece.
2006 10 PK 2 WKS 19 PTS 322	TITLE Promiscuous ARTIST Nelly Furtado Ft. Timbaland	Nelly Furtado's first radio smash in over 4 years was worth waiting for. It presented a different - more daring side to her. It was a far cry from her 2001 debut smash "I'm Like A Bird" which spent 21 weeks on our chart and was our # 28 smash of the year.
2006 11 PK 2 WKS 16 PTS 321	TITLE Crazy ARTIST Gnarls Barkley	It's nominated for two Grammys - Record Of The Year and Best Urban / Alternative Performance. Their album "St. Elsewhere" is nominated for a few more Grammys including Album Of The Year.
2006 12 PK 1 WKS 22 PTS 316 2 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Beep ARTIST The Pussycat Dolls Ft. WILL.I.AM	We appreciate all of our loyal fans all over the world. In 2006 our loyal fans in the Internet cafes of Singapore frequently wrote in to thank us for featuring their favourite artist on our chart. The Pussycat Dolls were MASSIVE on POWER-98.
2006 13 PK 5 WKS 20 PTS 288	TITLE Far Away ARTIST Nickelback	"Far Away" and "Lips Of An Angel" have both been on our chart for 20 weeks, and they've been right next to each other side-by-side on our chart for the past 13 weeks in a row ...
2006 14 PK 6 WKS 20 PTS 288	TITLE Lips Of An Angel ARTIST Hinder	... And when two (or more) hits on our chart tie with the same total number of chart points the hit(s) with the higher peak position receive the higher ranking here on our 'Year In Review' chart.
2006 15 PK 4 WKS 21 PTS 278	TITLE Walk Away ARTIST Kelly Clarkson	Kelly Clarkson spent a MASSIVE 89 weeks in a row on our chart from September 2004 to June 2006, and when this long-running smash fell off of our chart the 89 weeks had come to a grinding halt.
2006 16 PK 1 WKS 15 PTS 276 1 WEEK AT # 1 !	TITLE Gravity ARTIST The Fold	Daniel Castady (lead vocalist and guitarist), Aaron Green (guitarist), Keith Mochel (bassist), and Mark Rhoades (drummer) are The Fold out of Chicago, and this is the lead-off track of their 2006 album "This Too Shall Pass".
2006 17 PK 2 WKS 13 PTS 275	TITLE Photograph ARTIST Nickelback	It was nominated for the MASSIVE Memory Music Award for Best Hard Rock Hit twice - in 2005 and 2006 - and it lost both times to "Somebody Told Me" (The Killers) and "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" (Fall Out Boy) respectively.
2006 18 PK 3 WKS 15 PTS 258	TITLE Do It To It ARTIST Cherish Ft. Sean Paul Of YoungBloodZ	Cherish are four sisters - twins Farrah and Fallon, and Felisha and Neosha. This is their debut smash from their debut album "Unappreciated". Perhaps the title of their new album has something to do with their emergence in 2003 when they were set to release their original debut album "The Moment". Instead of an album release they found themselves without a record label. They felt "Unappreciated".
2006 19 PK 2 WKS 15 PTS 246	TITLE Activate ARTIST Stellar Kart	It's Stellar Kart out of Phoenix Arizona with an activating track from their album "We Can't Stand Sitting Down". They really can't. Be like them. Don't be complacent. Be alive. Get up. Make a move. "Activate". Show some love.
2006 20 PK 2 WKS 15 PTS 245	TITLE Rebirthing ARTIST Skillet	"Rebirthing" now. I wanna live for love. Wanna live for you and me. Breathe for the first time now. I come alive somehow. "Rebirthing" now. I wanna live my life. Wanna give you everything. Breathe for the first time now. I come alive somehow.
2006 21 PK 5 WKS 20 PTS 245	TITLE Temperature ARTIST Sean Paul	It was MASSIVE on the radio - the # 5 smash of the year at U.S. Mainstream Top 40 radio with significant airplay generated in all 12 months (peaking in April and May as the "Temperature" rose).
2006 22 PK 1 WKS 14 PTS 244 7 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Ridin' ARTIST Chamillionaire Ft. Krayzie Bone	Our 2006 MASSIVE Memory Music Award winner for Best Hip Hop Hit is nominated for two Grammys for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group. Catch the Grammys LIVE on CBS-TV on Sunday February 11th 2007 !
2006 23 PK 1 WKS 12 PTS 237 1 WEEK AT # 1 !	TITLE Move Along ARTIST The All-American Rejects	The video featuring lead vocalist Tyson Ritter appearing in a fast-moving montage of different clothing at different settings won Best Group Video and Best Editing In A Video at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.
2006 24 PK 3 WKS 15 PTS 228	TITLE Where'd You Go ARTIST Fort Minor Ft. Holly Brook	"Where'd You Go ?" I miss you so. Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone. "Where'd You Go ?" I miss you so. Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone. Please come back home ...
2006 25 PK 1 WKS 11 PTS 218 3 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Let U Go ARTIST Ashley Parker Angel	When Ashley was notified on his cell phone that this song was finally on the radio he stopped his car in traffic, got out, and went nuts in the middle of the street as onlookers looked on in bewilderment. It was all for the MTV "There & Back" cameras.

THE MAJOR'S BLOG-IN-THE-MIDDLE	A R C H I V E S THE CHART-TOPPERS - 2006-1995 & 1992-1985 THEY PEAKED AT # 2 - 2006-1995 TOP 10 CHARTS BY YEARS - 2005-1996 SELECTED CHART DISCOGRAPHIES
FROM THE HIT MUSIC DESK OF MAJOR HITWAVES	NEW ROCK - HOT POP - IT'S ALL GOOD !

YEAR IN REVIEW - 2006 151 hits made it onto our weekly chart in 2006. That's 21 more than in 2005, 4 more than in 2004, 12 more than in 2003, and the most since 2002. 49 out of our TOP 50 hits for the year spent at least one week on our TOP 10 sometime in 2006. 44 out of our TOP 50 hits made it onto our TOP 5 ! The 2006 Pure.Hits.Chart year consisted of 52 weekly TOP 25 charts starting with the week ending Sunday January 08th and ending with the week ending Sunday December 31st (the current week). Cascada's "Everytime We Touch" wasn't always our # 1 smash of 2006. For the first 11 weeks of the year it was Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Goin' Down". That was based on its 6 weeks at # 1 and 5 weeks at # 2 to kick-off 2006. Its replacement at # 1 (on our chart and for the year) was The All-American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret". It was our # 1 smash of the year from the end of March through the middle of July. On the 30TH week of 2006 Cascada's "Everytime We Touch" took over as our new # 1 smash of 2006. The 18 additional chart points that it earned during its final two weeks on our chart was enough to move it past "Dirty Little Secret". 2006 PURE.HITS.CHART ARTIST OF THE YEAR AWARD CONGRATULATIONS to The All-American Rejects of Oklahoma for capturing our covetted Pure.Hits.Chart Artist Of The Year award for 2006. They did it with their debut # 1 smash (for 7 weeks) "Dirty Little Secret" and their follow-up # 1 smash (for 1 week) "Move Along". They were the only artist with multiple # 1 hits on our chart in 2006. For the 3RD consecutive year The Black Eyed Peas are 1 of our TOP 5 artists of the year. They were # 3 in 2005 and # 5 in 2004. No other artist on this year's TOP 5 chart have appeared on a previous artists' chart.

2006 27 PK 5 WKS 14 PTS 213	TITLE Hate Me ARTIST Blue October	Back in late-June a loyal fan at the University Of Texas at Austin inquired as to where the rock music was.

2006 31 PK 4 WKS 23 PTS 198	TITLE Unwritten ARTIST Natasha Bedingfield	It was 1 of 12 hits on our TOP 50 that were on our very first chart of 2006, and this one had a rough start. It spent its first 10 weeks on our chart inching its way up real slowly from # 25 to # 21.
2006 32 PK 4 WKS 13 PTS 196	TITLE Bad Day ARTIST Daniel Powter	It was a runaway MASSIVESMASH all across the U.K. and Europe in 2005, and then it crossed the Atlantic and became huge in Daniel's home country of Canada.

Back in the 'Awesome '80s' - the 1880s that is - Thomas Edison bought some land in Fort Myers Florida. His winter home would eventually go on that land.

2006 39 PK 1 WKS 9 PTS 179 3 WEEKS AT # 1 !	TITLE Desensitized ARTIST Jonah33	The evolution of our Pure.Hits.Chart was quite evident during the late-Summer of 2006 when we segued from our Mainstream Pop roots to the 'New Rock Generation'. This track proved that the flip was not a fluke as it became our first 'New Rock' # 1 hit.
2006 40 PK 4 WKS 13 PTS 158	TITLE I Write Sins Not Tragedies ARTIST Panic! At The Disco	It's the # 1 rock song of 2006 at U.S. Mainstream Top 40 radio.

It reached its # 5 peak in its 9TH week on our chart, and then it went on a steady drop down our chart - and climb back up again.

2006 48 PK 5 WKS 9 PTS 132	TITLE High Of 75 ARTIST Relient K	It's all about the Sun because when the Sun is missing it can make you sad - maybe even depressed. When the clouds take over and the weather turns nasty so can you. The Sun can brighten things up for you. When it's Sunny with a "High Of 75" all is well. But night is nearing. It'll be dark soon. Please Sun - Be there tomorrow !
2006 49 PK 4 WKS 9 PTS 124	TITLE Oh! Gravity ARTIST Switchfoot	Switchfoot returned to our chart in 2006.
