The History Of Pop Part 54 aka Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio

It's MONSTERS vs MINNOWS in the latest Now poll. In one corner, a huge wedge of the songs that made Poptimism great (and made 2003 the most exciting year EVER according to the demographics poll) (full results to follow) (ahem). In the other corner, a parade of horrors as reality pop turns horribly wrong. Plumb in the middle, "Cocks More Like" by the Coldplays.

Sugababes' "Round Round" topped Now 53 fairly easily, 4 votes ahead of Ms Dynamite: they also won the Now 52 tie-break, so good for them. Can they make it three Now polls in a row? No, is the short answer, because take a look at the competition...

Kosmos may be too rocky for you, Lex, as I listen to it again.

Lyrical brilliance:

"Go where you wanna go
Sulk no one ever knows
Only what we decide
Is it gone, has it died?
Dry every tear in my
eye, You can tell me why
This is our secret place
Outer space, outer space"

"Cosmos" is the greatest t.A.T.u. ever, far better than "All the Things She Said," far better than "All About Us," possibly better than anything Boney M has ever done. In fact, t.A.T.u.'s two greatest songs ("Cosmos" and "Loves Me Not") have never even been singles.

"Cosmos" has great synthy-dink power chords, but totally lacks "All The Things She Said"'s drum plod.
