I Love #1s - 1966

Last week we reached consensus that Madge's ghey dancing anthem was the best #1 of 1990 with 40 ticks, narrowly beating Snap by 1 vote! But what about 40 years ago?

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...

I am always glad when this thread gets revived, because the first post was a spontaneous outpouring of critical joy and a lot of fun to write (it shows, I hope). Jess asked me to do a version of it for a zine he was putting together and I spent an afternoon working on it but it didn't respond well to rewriting. Linked to here because I'm feeling quite pleased with myself today.
