The History Of Pop Part 45 aka Up your butt with a coconut

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 45 is - appropriately - the biggest now ever, with 45 45s, BLIMEY DO YOU SEE, anyway this means that for once we have no room for the "BUM MORE LIKE" no-ticks-here options. And do you know what? You won't be needing them anyway! This Now has the first appearances of Craig David, Atomic Kitten, Daphne And Celeste, Kelis....and Kevin and Perry. It's a new millennium and pop rules o'er all - get your ticky fingers ready...

Now 44? Britney walked it.

Sure, B182 were influential, but more than anyone else on this Now = pushing a point FAR TOO FAR (I think it's Kelis, or in terms of British pop music Artful Dodger basically created the template which OWNED the charts for about two years) (I know, not any more, sadface)

Artful Dodger were _totally_ the kings of this for about 18 months, but it's short-term vs long-term isn't it? Artful Dodger's last approach on the charts was... well, we'll wait for Swygart to turn up and discuss it.

Yes this is my point - Artful Dodger short term, Kelis/Neps long term

Although I have just thought that even after 2-step DIED, when some pikey kids from someplace somewhere did just ONE SONG the other year inna 2-step stylee out of nowhere, it was No 1 with a bang ('Baby Cakes')!

I love 'Baby Cakes'. People who don't love 'Baby Cakes' have no soul.
