POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: Nos 6-1

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The top six! Thanks to everyone who voted of course, and have at it in the comments box. Surprises? In content perhaps not, in ordering...?

6. DIZZEE RASCAL & ARMAND VAN HELDEN - "Bonkers" (109 points)

Probably the biggest Poptimism floorfiller of the year.

5. TAYLOR SWIFT - "You Belong With Me" (123 points)

Nindie Taylor fights Pop Taylor! I had to get Matt Fluxblog to explain what "bleachers" were to me!

4. DAS RACIST - "Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix)" (125 points)

OK so where exactly are you again?

Some votes not for the Wallpaper mix, incidentally.

3. LILY ALLEN - "The Fear" (140 points)

Embedding disabled on this video, which is lovely as you should remind yourselves. The only carryover from last year's list, it placed higher this year and hence qualifies.

2. SHAKIRA - "She Wolf" (148 points)

Embedding disabled on this video, which is also in its way lovely, that way being a little more awkward to watch in an open plan office. About a third of the votes were for "Loba", the Spanish-language version.

1. LADY GAGA - "Bad Romance" (169 points)

It was very close between the top three until the last ballot, but "Bad Romance" was in the lead more often than not. Well done Lady G - especially for sweeping the poll with a record out so close to year's end.
