League Of Pop: Week 2 Nominations (and week 1 update)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Week 1 of the LoP has been a success, so far at least, with only one missing entry: zip files of the tracks were YSIed to Julio and Martin yesterday, and as soon as I know that Martin's got his I will make the links public. At some point this week each of them will post their reviews, which I will edit with the actual track IDs and scoring, and then the "winning" tracks may well get posted individually on a special page, a la the Pop World Cup.

MEANWHILE this week's matches see zenith and piratemoggy 'at home'. As before, please use the text poll below to name your track, and then if you think I might have a problem finding it, get it to me at leagueofpop@googlemail.com. Deadline is Friday, there'll be a reminder up on Wednesday. Let's find out more about them...

In other orgafun news, if you haven't voted in any of February's weekly chart polls, please do before I post some kind of monthly round-up.

The accumulated week in pop polls for February give us the following top ten for the month:

1. Long Blondes - Giddy Stratospheres
2. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Catch You
3. Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around Comes Around
4. Lady Sovereign - Love Me Or Hate Me
5. Lily Allen - Alfie
6. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape
7. Fergie - Glamorous
8. Nelly Furtado - Say It Right
9. Omarion - Ice Box
10=. Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby
10=. Jessica Simpson - A Public Affair

The poll I did last month was interesting but didn't add a huge amount to the original polls, other than to point out polarising tracks (Fall Out Boy and Jojo). So something simpler this time:
