Yet Another Year In Pop: 49

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Peter Kaye and Bob the Builder still at number 1, Kid Sister enters at #97, the Christmas silly season begins once more (Mariah and the Pogues make it into the top 40 AGAIN). Luckily Heidi still has her Santa hat kicking around the back of the wardrobe.

[Poll #1495697]

Reminders/Round-up:

You have until tomorrow to vote in Heat #1 of 2004 - it's pretty close for 5th place at the moment so get repping!

You have until January 4th to go back and vote (or change your votes) in any of the 2009 chart polls. Here's how the top 30 looked in September - since then Shakira and Rihanna have moved into the top 5, but can anyone knock Lily off the top spot?

Bored poptimists are alerted as to the existence of the Popjustice 2009 Readers' Poll. That should kill a few minutes.

Baffled poptimists may wish to take a punt on which of the BBC's Sound of 2010 shortlist dudes will prove to be most annoying next year (and who has the stupidest name - my vote goes to 'Joy Orbison').
