Top 40 Singles Of 2006 Poll #4: April

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Sugababes 'Red Dress' came top in the March poll which seems like a good thing even though it's a track from a 2005 album and was re-recorded with the rub new one. No time to muse on that much further though as it's time for the next lot - will it be an April shower of sh1te? judging by the list below, not quite - some real corkers here: [Poll #739256]

I still haven't tracked down the original version of Trina's 'Here We Go' with Teedra Moses instead of Donkey Rowland - I hope someone can HELP ME OUT HERE.

Also I will reiterate from the previous post that the Trina album The Glamorest Life is very good indeed, though if you haven't got her 2002 tour de force Diamond Princess that is even better (ie one of the best hip-hop albums EVER MADE!).

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I wasn't feeling Trina on this particular cut I must say - but I only heard 30 seconds of it on iTunes.

Still a bit ambivalent towards the Jamie Foxx and Soundbwoy Ent. tracks too but they did seem to have some pleasant elements about them.

I don't seem to like modern 'RnB' much :/

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I have been unable to hear 'Tribute To Jinky' or 'Radio 4 Theme' so far...I suspect the former is bad but the latter might be quite sedate and pleasant.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

it's actually properly called "the UK theme" it has bits of various old songs as listed here:

you'd love it, what with it being A MASH UP :)

Also re: Morrissey - yeah I FUCKING WISH I'D KILLED YOU, you TWAT.

It's like a flower

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

As usual I have almost certainly heard a ton of these but don't know what they are by name - I AM SUCH A GRANDAD.

One of my ticks is ironical.

Re: It's like a flower

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

i have only just noticed your so called 'ironic' tick!

PINK: GR8 or H8?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

H8. This song is TERRIBLE.

Re: PINK: GR8 or H8?

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I think it's good. I still have some time for Pink when she's on this kind of tip.

Re: PINK: GR8 or H8?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I can't get past the idiocy of the lyrics and Pink's own self-righteousness, really - it's not as bad as 'Trouble' but I long for the days when she actually did really good r&b instead of all this authenticity bollocks.

MVP

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

the MVP track is great - borrows and appropriates the 'I Like To Move It' riff - it's always playing in stores such as Footlocker, or JD Sports. have people here not heard it or could it just be that they DISLIKES it??

tracks like this make me miss Poptimism club night more...although 'S.O.S'. and 'Temperature' would probably go down much better.

Re: MVP

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

You'll be surprised to know it's been a while since I went to a JD Sports.

Deleted Goths

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I can't believe Gnarls Barkley are deleting their single! It is good! And could give Bwyan Adams a run for his record-breaking money!

Re: Deleted Goths

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

it's just had no real challengers for it's place. not been a good year for really massive big pop tunes so far it seems (as these polls will also testify).

omg!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

D4L (http://www.atlanticrecords.com/d4l) has a sample of Crystal Waters!

Re: omg!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

OK whoops, it doesn't at all. My mistake.

Re: omg!

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

so does T.I.'s 'Why U Wanna'!

CONFUSION

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

'Crazy' and 'SOS' are probably the clumsiest and least interesting vaguely-r&b songs listed (though both still v good obv), certainly compared to Nelly, D4L, Trina, Sean Paul - yet they are the ones out in front!

Re: CONFUSION

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Cos they're pop as well as r'n'b? I dunno. TBH apart from the Trina I can't remember any of the others.

IT'S TRUE:

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

In ten years time we will look back at Gnarls Barkley with as much horror as we do now at Everything I Do, I Do It For You. They are essentially the same record.

Re: IT'S TRUE:

[avv.livejournal.com]

at time of writing am only person not to have clicked the Barkley. it is total warm poo.

WHO ON EARTH

[thenipper.livejournal.com]

...is/are Milburn? Surely they have the most uninspiring band name of all time?

Re: WHO ON EARTH

[juror8.livejournal.com]

They are "THE ARCTIC MONKEYS FAVOURITE BAND". This is their entire PR campaign. They are wretched. More Alan than Stanley.

Juanes - La Camisra Negra

[juror8.livejournal.com]

This is actually really good, and got in the top 40 despite nobody ever having heard it in the UK ever.

Re: Juanes - La Camisra Negra

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

That song is fucking genius, especially the video, which left me frantically attempting to re-find it on Fizz for several hours, to the vast annoyance of my boyfriend. Why it was not MASSIVE or at least moderately expansive in the manner that a shoebox is, as opposed to its actual matchbox it achieved, I really do not know.

Flips

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I should've picked the Flaming Lips as the worst song really. because it is the worst song i've ever heard in my entire life, let alone April 2006.

Re: Flips

[thenipper.livejournal.com]

Remarkably, the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZO0egREjUQ) manages to make the song seem even more hateful.

btw fyi

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

i'll try and send you some tonight if you like, provided i have them (and you tell me which ones obv.)
