Top 40 Singles Of 2006 Poll #5: May

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...


[Poll #742857]

You may be right - I avoided any ubiquity they had in the early 90s by dint of being 10 years old and since then they don't seem to have quite the cultural presence necessary to rouse my ire.

Yes, I imagine the words "Levellers" don't quite have the same effect on you for similar reasons.

Levellers are just slightly comedy to me? Like, ha ha ha, look at the awful band which awful people liked way back before I was alive.
