The History Of Pop Part 62 aka Thanks to you now I get what I want

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 62 brings us almost up to date - when we started the Now polls this was the most current Now album available. Since then there have been two more, which we'll deal with next week, and then that's yer lot. Now 62 has plenty of meat on it, unlike the last one, which has yielded our lowest-rating winner ever, with only 60% tickys. And that winner is...either Gorillaz or Rachel Stevens. When I did this poll I didn't know it was a draw, though, so the tie-breaker question will be on a separate poll, probably bunged on the end of a POPFITE. Sorry about that!

Her teardrops will explode into the night that glitters

'Dumb Dumb' has great lyrics! And that amazing handclap moment.

'Every Little Thing' should have been a single, it's total office party singalong stuff. I still think that the right singles could have made Rachel more of a success. That is to say: 'I Said Never Again' as lead, 'Crazy Boys' second, 'Nothing Good About This Goodbye' third, 'Every Little Thing' fourth (at Xmas time). 'Negotiate With Love' or 'Funny How' or 'I Will Be There' as hangover fifth if necessary.

she would never have got 4 singles out by Christmas 2005 unless the first one had come out in January (this could've worked actually, esp. as January slump might've enabled I Said Never Again to chart higher)

'Negotiate With Love' did come out very early in 05 didn't it? And still only barely scraped the top 10.

it came out in April but they were so awful and tentative in plugging Rachel i think. maybe even worse than Annie's publicists/promoters!
