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.


[Poll #765906]


(Also go and nominate for the the birthday poll if you haven't already...)

Fatman Scoop composed this track in order to make enough money to put his little brother through college. Fun fact for you there.

I have heard the sampler of her new album. It's not very good.

'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!"

I (l) Stacie O, "Stuck" is amazing for how it combines that kinda Max Martin laboratory pop with a kind of... I mean, you know more about R&B than me but it sounds kinda She'kspere (or whatever he was called), a real retro late 90s feel.

Also, the lead single from her new album reminds me of that Shaznay single that went wood.

Also being criminally overlooked

Liberty X's 'Jumpin' is a really superb example of the fizz-crash-bang hypercuberpop which was so in vogue this year, it's all broken machine beats and hyped-up super-banging robovox and is superb.

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.

Life Got Cold is easily the worst track on first GA album. I still don't understand why they didn't release Some Kind Of Miracle as a single instead.

That Busted track sounds like an Ash b-side. Very poor.

I'M DAVE PEARCE JOIN ME.

I loved how the vocallist from Ultrabeat did look like he'd just wandered out of singalong evening at the Working Men's Club, totally tickworthy.

The mp3 you gave me of the lead single cuts out after 30 secs and it's not on the sampler. HOWEVER the full album arrived over the weekend, but I haven't had a chance to listen yet.

'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!

I actually think "(There's Gotta Be) More To Life" is even better, but that's a debate for another Now poll...

With trashy fishnet women video featuring overly literal lingering on eponymous pretty green eyes. Smashing.
