AYIP Supplement August 2008: Masks and Whips and Microphones

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

After a quiet July, August got us back to over twenty #41-#75 hits on the UK singles charts. These are tabulated below, with youtube links except for where I couldn't find any (Nicki Bliss??). WHATEVER WILL YOU TICK?

[Poll #1259801]

Four of July's 11 tracks are ahead of the 30% mark as of the now, a pretty good proportion actually. Three of them are Ladyhawke's "Paris Is Burning", The Feeling's "Turn It Up", and Goldfrapp's "Caravan Girl". But way ahead in front, and indeed leading the whole thing, is "I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me" by Annie (from Bergen), with an impressive 81.8%!

No disqualifications occurred this month.

Another Year In Pop: 37

Ladies and gentlemen we have a new number one! We truly are living in exciting times when Kings Of Leon can get to the top spot. Hmmm.

Elsewhere, Miley is slowly sneaking up towards the top 10, Skepta's Rolex Sweep enters at no.89, and Bonnie Tyler is this week's inexplicable new entry at 57 thanks to Total Eclipse Of The Heart being cheaply dubbed over that Phil Collins gorilla advert.
