Twelve months of sales, thousands and thousands of new arrivals, plus all the regular rare and collectable additions...here are our Top 10 Most Popular Artists of the Year...
1. The Beatles - more rarities and reissues give the fab four and solo members another year at the top
2. Madonna - another quiet year but a huge back catalogue means she's still the undisputed queen of pop
3. Queen - a busy year with the introduction of Paul Rodgers, a worldwide tour and a selection of releases
4. Rolling Stones - a strong 12 months with the Bigger Bang album release and a plethora of reissues
5. Oasis - a new album & our huge expanding collection of rarities help the Gallaghers to a high chart spot
6. U2 - a selection of single releases and a goldmine of collectables from Eire's favourite sons in 2005
7. Elton John - the Rocket Man returns to this year's chart due to a great new album and numerous reissues
8. Elvis Presley - another 12 months of reissues plus the limited edition 70th anniversary series from the King
9. David Bowie - despite a lack of new material there's a huge range of reissues & collectable to choose from
10. Pet Shop Boys - after a 2 years break Tennant & Lowe return to the elite group of our premier performers
If the artist you are looking for isn't here then perhaps they have made our TOP 150 chart

  2005 EIL.com Music Awards

Once again it's time to announce and present our prestigious Awards, with all the results based on overall sales from the previous 12 months, customer feedback and just a little input from our team...
Female Artist
Absolutely no doubt this year has belonged to the fantastic Gwen Stefani
With a string of solo hit singles and a chart topping album all around the world there seems to be no stopping her. Move over Madge there's a new Queen on the horizon!
Male Artist
It was a close call this year with a host of new pretenders to the crown as well as some more familiar faces, but in the end we went for the 'Modfather' himself. Our male artist for 2005 is Paul Weller! Mr. Weller resurfaced this year with his best collection of songs in many years in the shape of the superb 'As Is Now'
Group
Another difficult decision which caused heated discussions & hours of deliberation but we all agreed that the swagger was well and truly back thanks largely to the stunning album 'Don't Believe The Truth'.
There can only be one possible winner Oasis
Breakthru Artist
The closest run category of the year with some amazing artists appearing on the scene but this year we couldn't see past the band from Staines with their stunning debut album 'Stars of CCTV'. This years Breakthru artist is Hard-Fi
Rock
The greatest rock and roll band in the world showed a lot of the youngsters how to rock! A classic slice of bluesy, riff laden rock and roll at it's very best. With yet another world tour well under way there really is no stopping them. It may still only be rock and roll, but we like it, like it, yes we do!!
This years winners can only be The Rolling Stones
Pop
What will the neighbours say? Who cares because we love em!!
This year we only have eyes for Cheryl, Nadine and the other gorgeous songbirds from Girls Aloud
Dance
A quiet 12 months in the world of floor filling with the genre being dominated by reissues, remixes and just a damn right poor standard of releases. But one artist stood head and shoulders above the rest.
Our Dance award winner of the 2005 is Mylo
Album
A great year for big album releases with albums from Franz Ferdinand, Supergrass, Robbie Williams plus the long awaited return of Oasis & Paul McCartney. But this years award goes to Coldplay with 'X&Y'
Single
There may be talk of a decline in sales and a lack of interest in single releases but for us the format goes from strength to strength with some massive selling titles over the previous 12 months but, for us it just has to be the superb Kaiser Chiefs with their anthemic 'I Predict A Riot'
