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...

Total bafflement!

I've hijacked the office radio and put it on Radio 1 (it was on Magic) in the hope of hearing at least some of these. I wd have done your youtube thing yesterday but FM2006 got in the way.

Kurd Maverick

I haven't heard this but want to tick Kurd Maverick just for his terrific name.

I've not actually heard the Ultrabeat song I ticked either but I ticked it on trust cos "Feeling Fine" was so good.

I think when you factor in consistency of output, mass popularity, and pan-media playlist credibility the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are surely the worst band in the world.

Christina Milian

I bought her album yesterday - it's terrific. 'So Amazin', which I assume is the next single, might be even better than 'Say I'!

I don't understand why some people aren't ticking her? She is the greatest living artist of our generation after all.

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!

important proper indie point

Ultrabeat = disappointing.

Am liking LL Cool J and J-Lo more the more I listen to it.

"You got, you got, you got what it takes to make me leave my man."

THEY ARE PREFAB SPROUT FOR THE 00S AND PRODUCED BY TREVOR HORN - HOW CAN THIS NOT BE OKAY?

REJECT THIS MAN AND ALL HIS WORKS*.

*except maybe a couple of the singles off White Blood Cells.

May was a great month for singles IMO.

I love: Raconteurs, RHCP, Feeder (their best ever single, I reckon), We Are Scientists, Delays, Sigur Ros, Hot Chip.

I am very confused by the Chicane/Tom Jones single (currently playing every ten minutes on Radio 2) because it doesn't sound like Tom Jones' voice at all. Can anyone explain this to me?

[zenith.livejournal.com]

Does that Sigur Ros track sound totally different to their previous material, or do we need to change the name of this community?

Well Hung
