OMG in Now 49 we had...a DRAW! And a draw of two songs with great big ticky ratings at that! And poor old "Survivor" one point behind, with a score that would have walked 9 out of the last 10 polls. I feel as overexcited as Davina pretending a phone vote is close! Make yr choice between S Club and Outkast after you've voted in THIS Now poll, which kicks off with perhaps the iconic modern pop song and has a host of other 'talking points' - I expect plenty of Lexular squealing and much HEATED debate. Debut tracks from Sophie E-B, Five (late in the game!), Alihen Ant Farm, So Solid and a couple of French robots you may be familiar with...

EDIT: And how could I forget THE MOST ROMANTIC SONG EVER MADE?


[Poll #742292]


LET'S GO!!

I like my version better. Plus "Oh No" to me is RAWKUS RECORDS' LAST HURRAH. Did that make it onto any Nows? Mos Def's only top 40 single!

This is a great Now! I was, I think, probably about 16 when this came out, and being a late erm starter I had made friends and had a girlfriend and drank beer! Hooray!

Does this make you feel old?

Also, is Megaman the only person to have had a number one single to have then gone to prison for murder?

V. high strike-rate here, even if the minnow is a shoo-in.

I will vote for Bohemian Like You as the only thing you should hear by the Dandy Ws, on the grounds that its hipster self-hatred turns it into an irony black hole. Everything else is destroyed at the event horizon.

D12 and Mary J Blige are both ACE here; although Destinys and Eve will do better -- this will be PopInJustice (DYS!!)

Oh and MOST ROMANTIC NOW EVER!!!

DAFT PUNK

Apart from Jeff, I see, do Poptimists really only like Discovery? For shame! They are very consistent! I do like Human After All, too.

'Bootylicious', 'One Night Stand', 'Family Affair', '21 Seconds', 'Let Me Blow Ya Mind' and 'I'm A Slave 4U' >>>>>>>>>>> 'Digital Love'

The best bit of the song is the middle eight over the "Next Episode" beat, where the guy just goes "Meh, I get raped six times before breakfast every day and you don't see me complaining. STFU"
