Tracklisting

 * (RDB: 'The Festive Fifty, 2004. The tension is just too much. Louise, pass me the envelope. (Makes paper noises) It's not really an envelope, it's just a piece of paper I've written on. We're just pretending, you know, getting you really tense out there. I can imagine loads of bands, loads of singers, and loads of songwriters out there, sitting, you know, biting their nails, getting really nervous, "Oh, will I be number 32, this year? Will I get better?"....We do know that John would be very pleased that so many of you voted again this year, making another absolutely cracking, bumper selection...So the tension is just getting too much. What is in at number 50? Let's have a little look.')
