POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: The Also-Rans

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The wait is over: THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE tracks were mentioned in the votes for the Poptimists 2009 poll, and EIGHTY FIVE!!! of them got more than one vote. Today I'll be covering off the ones outside the Top 50 (so, erm, in the top 85) and for the rest of the week you'll be finding out answers to the crucial questions - what won? who got shafted by vote-splitting? WHERE DID "MY GIRLS" PLACE? And so on.

So here's 85-61. They don't get video links but if you love one of these tracks link it up in the comments, eh?

Back by reasonably popular demand, it's the weekly chart polls! Iyaz is the UK's newest #1, and despite humming the chorus all weekend I still keep finding myself calling him 'Jason Iyaz'. If Iyaz ever does a cover of 'I'm Yours' we will be in trouble.

[Poll #1510075]

2004 decade polls will resume later this week.
