The History of Pop Part 52 aka It's all about the dog in me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Great rejoicing at Lex Towers as Aaliyah finally wins a Now poll - she's in it again, as are a few other former winners, as are the Sugababes, and Scooter, Ms Dynamite, Nelly and...Idlewild. Summer 2002 - it was really hot, there was some terrific pop in the charts and a World Cup was on. How times change...


[Poll #746498]


TICKNO TICKNO TICKNO TICKNO!

This will be the LAST Now poll for over TWO WEEKS as I'm on holiday from Wednesday, so enjoy it while you can. The final 12 volumes in the series will occupy us nicely during July and August I'm sure.

It wasn't particularly 'revolutionary' or 'impressive' back then! The actual bootleg had been around for ages and the whole er 'phenomenon' was entering its final stages to be honest. But it was still - then and now - just, y'know, a really really good pop song. And it hasn't dated, I don't think, either.

Lex is right on this one. This song should WALK to victory on this Now (although Nelly is quite good).
