The History Of Pop Part 49 aka Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A very mixed bag, Now 49 - for every Destiny's Child making a (somewhat delayed) bow in a Now poll, there's a Dido. For every Mis-Teeq, a Marti Pellow. A number of strong candidates should make for an intriguing poll.

The last Now poll was the closest for AGES, with Gorillaz finally beating Shaggy and Nelly F by one vote - "Clint Eastwood" is the lowest-rated winner ever, which makes up slightly for it being the first one I don't actually like.

'BOB' was a hit, a quite big one I think, but just not on a Now (this is DC's first Now appearance too!).

Lots of hip hop acts are quite um lackadaisical when it comes to a) releasing and b) promoting singles in the UK - Eve bothers to do it more than most, which is to say that she still doesn't really bother at all.

i think 'B.O.B.' stalled in the charts somewhere in the 50s. i was really surprised to see Outkast were still around at that point. and when i first heard 'Miss Jackson' i was astounded it was them.
