RIGHT. Let's get this one over with. Now 61 is not a very good Now album. The impression of badness is enhanced by Now's sudden decision to move all the great pop tracks to the arse end of disc 2, part of the general loss of faith in pop that was sweeping the blogosphere world in 2005, at least before this very community came along to SORT IT OUT.

Gwen Stefani is your winner on Now 60, by the way.

OMG 23 TICKS THIS IS INSANE.

That's more than Roll Deep!

And let's not forget about poor Mariah languishing on SEVEN.

The Roll Deep record is worse than the Khazi Cheese record though. But only just.

It's the principle of the thing!!! Horrid student indie getting more ticks than lazy summer rap and r&b divaz!

I thought the point of being a poptimist was to RENOUNCE INDIE.

Yes, to enjoy pop, that is exactly what I said! They are the two sides of the poptimist currency, enjoying pop and renouncing indie.

Anyway Kaiser Chiefs are neither enjoyable nor pop so I still do not understand.

This is rockism of the highest order.

Yes but that is just anything which gets in the charts and not even the most ardent poptimist would call "enjoying pop" "enjoying anything in the charts" otherwise we would be seeing a lot more ticks for Mr Rhyming Slang there. LINES have to be DRAWN.

Six people have admitted to enjoying him!

(Believe me, I'm as surprised as you are)
