Take Pity On A Poor Old Hey Ya

Here's a poll it should do quite well in.

[Poll #889295]

Meanwhile, anticipation is at tepid pitch for the Poptimists End Of Year Poll Awards. Please go and nominate stuff - you don't have to put an entry in every category! It's here.

Give It Up For Atwell AKA The Poptimists Christmas Number One Canon

Since I have a bit of spare time today I thought a 'proper' canon would be a good idea. Then I thought, NO! let's get festive with the Christmas Number Ones canon. Halfway through it I realised that Christmas Number Ones are often, indeed usually, completely rubbish and the whole fuss over it is overrated and we've polled all the good ones a grillion times anyway. BUT it was too late to turn back - so here we go, EIGHTEEN big ticks, you might not need them all.

Three points of order:

i. I checked in about 5 different places before being actually persuaded that "Caravan Of Love" was not Wobs No.1
ii. "Last Christmas" is the highest-selling No.2 single in Britain ever, fact fans.
iii. I left off the reissue of Bo Rhap.
