For the second Now running, Girls Aloud find themselves in second place, this time by one vote to Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River". They get a third shot in the Now 56 poll, covering the end of 2003 - and Justin's back too, though it may well be that neither of them wins it.
Good times, bad times? You decide.

Date: 2006-07-10 12:50 pm (UTC)'Stuck', however, is one of the finest pop songs EVAH and if it weren't for Lumi would have been a runaway winner for me. My favourite bit is right at the end, the Max Martin-style backing vox coming in just once as the song finally admits to itself that it isn't an Avril-esque rocker after all, it is pop through and through: "don't - know - what - to - DO! I'm stuck on you!"

Also being criminally overlooked
Date: 2006-07-10 12:53 pm (UTC)There are several songs that I can't imagine not ticking, you would have to be inhuman to think 'Crazy In Love' or 'LA Ex' or 'Superstar' or 'Finest Dreams' don't qualify as any good at all, yet they are not getting 100% which I find CURIOUS.

Date: 2006-07-10 12:57 pm (UTC)'Stuck' was remarkable in that it had the Max Martin element, it had the cod-r&b element (really quite generic, which I love - but also completely at odds with where r&b itself was at this summer), but Stacie sang it like she was Avril and all punk - so really it was where all the strands of 00s pop MET!
