Monday Round-Up

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Poptimists will be a bit quieter from tomorrow cos I'm going to France for a week - obviously this should not prevent many of the rest of you filling the space with joyful noises, polls, etc.

Germany vs England in the Pop World Cup - vote by TONIGHT. I'll do the result tomorrow before I go and then there's a wait of a week until Trinidad vs Ecuador - can the managers of those fine nations send me their MP3s in the meantime?

Now when you're asked Kylie's best song, you can answer in total confidence.

1. Better The Devil You Know (30 votes)
2. Can't Get You Out Of My Head (28)
3. Spinning Around (25) (this one is actually not true, surely!)
4. Confide In Me (23)
5. I Should Be So Lucky (22)
6. Hand On Your Heart (18)
7. Come Into My World (17)
8. Step Back In Time (16)
9=. Shocked (15)
9=. I Believe In You (15)

"If You Were With Me Now" is the only Kylie not to get a single vote.

Oh the hilarity

Chart History Shocker!: people like opera. (Also note the return of the 'climber' to the singles chart, k-blimey, it is Orson what nobody knew in the pop quiz lyrics round). Anyway, opera eh?

OK, let's see if I can actually post this and not fvck it up.

IN BRIEF:

Now 32! Britpop in charge! Dance goes superclub! Goldie! Weller! Ricardo Da Force!

Now 31! Pulp walk it! Most votes ever! Commiserations to Ini Kamoze! Weezer liked by US posters, not by UK!

Now 30! Portishead on the hall of fame! Well done plucky Beth!

( Everything's going Jackanory )

TICKY BOXY!

EDIT: God knows why I've put Now 36 in the poll, this is Now 32 obv.
