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...

Are there any other UK bands trading off former glories (without critics appearing to notice) as much as Primal Scream? (except perhaps the PSBs)?

Do Oasis get a fraction of the criticism they deserve?

No, not at all, but I don't think they get quite the same respect & positive write-ups that Primal Scream inexpicably continue to do either

Yes, but in fairness there is just nothing more to say about Oasis, Primal Scream move around a fair lot, even if they're not good they're regularly new. NB not counting this single, where they may have finally descended into self-parody.
