Top 40 Singles Of 2006 Poll #12: December

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Now if you get a flu attack, for thirty days you're on your back...either way there's no excuse for not filling out the December Top 40 singles poll. A last chance to rate the hit parade before it all goes pear-shaped with unreleased downloads, re-entries via TV exposure etc. - it's been wonderful, truly. Final table of results will be published next week. All Saints 'Rock Steady' topped the November poll with just a piffling 16 ticks.

Party hearty, Marty!

So, half the world seems to be announcing exciting parties etc today (well they are on my flist anyway ;)), so i thought i'd better JUMP IN with the new Poptimism dates before yr diaries all get filled up. Following petitions from bangface and b-movie types we are now firmly ensconced on the FIRST FRIDAY of the month, viz:

Friday 2 February

Friday 2 March

Friday 6 April which also happens to be Good Friday and we are planning to do an ALL-DAYER possibly even including bands and games and everything.

May and June are provisionally 4/5 and 1/6 but they might be refurbing the upstairs room at some point, so we'll confirm these nearer the time.


We continue to be at the Union Tavern, we continue to be FREE and we continue to hope to run 7-12 at least...

There's been no poptimist post or thread on the Jackin' Pop poll, which posted its results this week - I've put the top 30 tracks under a cut, and you can see the alBUM etc votes at http://www.idolator.com/?op=compiledresults

Is this a recognisable 2006? Not if yr a Brit voter, most probably. (EDIT: I stand corrected, yrs Grandad.) I'm not sure I've ever heard TV on the Radio (who topped the JP albums list).
