Well, for me it's probably another contraversial one (last year's was WeBelongTogether-MCarey):
U and UR Hand Tonight - Pink.

Everyone likes a Promiscuous Girl..
Fergielicious - Fergie 
No, actually the list is as follows -
Crazy - Gnarls Barkley Funny Little Frog - Belle and Sebastian Your Heart is An Empty Room - DCFC (technically an '05 song, but I don't care because it's that good) Ain't No Other Man - Christina Aguilara (I'm gonna get hell for that one, but it's insanely catchy) Here It Goes Again - OK Go (before it got annoying) When You Were Young - The Killers
Mine would include
- Suffer Well - Depeche Mode
- John The Revelator/Lillian - Depeche Mode
- Martyr - Depeche Mode
- Minimal - Pet Shop Boys
- New York New York - Moby featuring Debbie Harry
- Muscle Car (despite being made in 2004)- Mylo featuring Freeform Five
- Put Your Hands Up For Detroit - Fedde Le Grand (Cheesy I know!)
Cheers!

I totally forgot about those DM singles. I thought they were all released in 2005.

Yes and no Blue Eyed Boy. They all featured on DM's Playing The Angel album which came out in 2005 but they weren't released as singles by Mute in the UK until 2006. That was the same for Mylo's Muscle Car single which was on his Destroy Rock And Roll album in 2004 but wasn't a single until January 2006. Cheers!
I don't think 2006 has been fantastic for singles, too many Libertines-like clones dominating the charts pretending it's the 70s again. NME has turned into a rag which espouses dressing fashionably and "cool lists" as more important than coming out with a truly cracking piece of music.
The following stood out for me but I'd be hard pushed to choose an absolute favourite:
Editors - Munich (2006 Re-release - Cicada remix) Hot Chip - And I Was The Boy From School Hot Chip - Over And Over The Kooks - Ooh La (got on my tits due to over-exposure) Muse - Starlight Morrissey - The Youngest Was The Most Loved Pet Shop Boys - Minimal (good single/desperately sub-par album) Primal Scream - Country Girl (zero originality but a good tune)
Morrissey's 'Ganglord' deserves a mention as b-side of the year for me with PSB's 'The Resurrectionist' not far behind.
'Setting Sun'-Howling Bells 'Number 1'-Goldfrapp 'Minimal'-PSB 'Atlantis to Interzone'-Klaxons
and of course...

You're right, it is insanely catchy

Sorry for being so anal, but this song is from 2005. Great tune though.
Writer's Block - Peter Bjorn and John When You Were Young - Killers All Good Things - Nelly Furtado

Nope, that's another single released last year.

Pretty sure it was. Last 12" vinyl I bought, think I got it the same time as the 12x12 releases.
From the official LCD Soundsystem site: "Tribulations" was released as a single on 26 September 2005.
Come to think of it, it may have been bought when I got them 7" WTFSCs.
Don't the years fly by?

Know what you mean!
I keep thinking the WFTSC and Guilt Is A Useless Emotion mixes are a 2006 effort!
Probably because I was giving them the most heavy rotation around December-ish 2005.

I know the album was last year. Didn't realise this was even released as a single though. Will have to check it out, especially if it includes remixes. Can listen to the very first minute of this again over and over, love the way it comes in at the start!

The remix is good. Though it's probably 6 months since I've played it. Not got my turntable set up at the moment.
Anyone got 45:33? I haven't fathomed how you buy stuff of itunes.
Booked for Manc in March, aynone else going to any of the dates? Seen them at the Ritz, earlier this year, at least I think it was this year.

Originally 2005.
The problem with Guillemots, is that they are fucking diabolical live.
Although Trains to Brazil is nothing less than brilliant.
Theres a Klaxons song which is on XFM all the time. Dont know its name though. Its fantastic.
Richard Ashcroft- Keys to the World. James Dean Bradfield- Thats no way to tell a lie

Klaxons,probably Atlantis To Interzone,but possibly Majick.
I have to agree with Pitchfork ...
Justin Timberlake "My Love" ... Timbaland's production is brilliant, who woulda ever thought it, such leftfield production of a pop song from a former boy band teen beater?

The synths on that song are good, but the lyrics are really gratingly awful.

What's with NOOL saying Feb. 2007 release of this anyway?
You know, I haven't listened to the radio at all this year. It has been the "year of the iPod" for me, so the only two that I know that people mentioned that I think are goodare
Crazy - Gnarls Barkley that new Muse song.
But I'll download a bunch of these songs that were mentioned and give them a go....
ooh...and I forgot Wiggles and Ritalin by Reckless Kelly...
at least I think that one was from this year...
nobody gives a shit anymore-the midgetry featuring fuck you mr. 3000....
