Top 40 Singles Of 2006 Poll #5: May

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Well predictably Rihanna was beaten off in the end by crazy old Gnarls Barkley and his three more ticks. 'Crazy' got more ticks (27) than any other Top 40 single this year and 87.1% vote share, making it the most popular chart hit of the year among Poptimist members. Who says we're not in touch with Joe Still-Buys-CDs / £50 Mang?

And so now to cast your minds back...way back...to those heady days of May 2006...

which is everyone's favourite Busta Rhymes verse?

I assume everyone's heard the mental nine-minute mix with basically everyone of note in it (three-minute radio version not to be bothered with in comparison). I like Mary J Blige and Ne*Yo best!

I always liked Busta until the video for "Touch It", when I was suddenly overwhelmed with a desire to punch him repeatedly in his big face.

Is it me or do they announce Sean Paul in the video and then never have a verse from him?

I mean, is it some kinda of post-modern irony that "OMG BUSTA ONLY DOES GUEST VERSES", so they get 497 people to do guest verse, including noted mic-shredders Mary J Blige and her what did Girlfight who's name I've forgotten.

Papoose fucking sucks as well.

Hang on what BROOKE VALENTINE did a guest verse?! That's not on my mix!

Guest verses rule. At some point I want there to be a song with EVERYONE (good) in hip-hop and r&b doing a guest verse.

Best we have so far is that 10-minute 'In Da Club' megamix of Beyoncé, Mary J and the original.

Yes that confused me too!

Busta is on a real roll right now - 'What It Is' and 'I Love My Bitch' are terrific too, prob better than 'Touch It' actually. I don't understand why anyone would want to punch him?

Right, watch the video. Watch the bit where he looks up from the newspaper and pulls a big cheesy grin.

I heard a version without the sirens in it and it was lame.
