The History Of Pop Part 40 aka Whats She Gonna Look Like With A Chimney On Her?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Popfrenzy '98 continues in Now 40 with Billie, Fatboy Slim and DJ DAZ!!!! making their first appearances on a Now (the latter in the guise of BUS STOP). The Spice Girls slide towards their end but the pop world they left behind is thriving.

Now 39 was closely fought but "Never Ever" pulled ahead to win it - double All Saints for your consideration this time - with Pulp, Cornershop and the Spice Girls close behind among a number of high-scoring contenders.

A week ago the girl next to me was listening to an iPod on the bus, and holding at such an angle that I could see the song titles, and she went from 'Hollaback Girl' to 'Round Round' to...'Save Tonight'!!!

It's not a bad song really. And he gets bonus points for being related to Neneh.

Save Tonight is THE WORST song on here. It's even worse than the Mansun one.

I'm kind of torn between Massive Attack (sorry) or Billie here but I think it's be dishonest because the record I got (by miles) the most pleasure out of at the time was Teh Rockerfeller Skank.

Bonus points for Three Lions 98 for the irony in the Gazza line.

It's the Panini sticker album of pop songs.

There's no need to apologise for Massive Attack, I ticked it too, it's a great record in its way, it's just...not aged as well as Billie! (And nor has 3-D, arf arf)

OMG! Is there time to rush out a sticker-album based single in time for the World Cup? It can be full of grebt rhymes on players names and updated every two years for the rest of eternity.
