A remarkable variety of different labels represented in the year-end list (the top 20 singles were on 20 different labels!) meant that XL nicked it basically for having Wiley and Dizzee on the roster at the same time, however briefly: once nextdoor neighbours Morrissey and Nancy sneaked Attack into second place. It was a far cry from Matinee's dominance for the previous three years. The only other labels with more than one entry in the chart were Son Records, Lowlife, Elefant and Blade's label, 691 Influential.
