The penultimate Now poll finds us on very familiar ground - almost all these songs have been Poptimist-polled before by the diligent Steve M. To be frank I doubt you'll find much work for your ticking fingers here but we need to go through this one to 'complete the set' to let's be at it.

Sugababes won the Now 62 poll by a reasonable margin, despite being very few people's overall favourite. They're in it again this time.


[Poll #787404]


TICK AWAY

I can't believe I just ticked Coldplay and left Girls Aloud off. What has happened?

Talk is the best Coldplay single. I ticked it.

I'm slightly astonished at how few of these I actually know! I must be more disconnected with pop than I thought.

'Talk' is the one where they VOMIT ALL OVER KRAFTWERK - it's one of the few Coldplay singles which, instead of just being a blur of blah, is actively vile!

Meck is probably the best number one single since... "Babycakes"?

I think we should make HUMPS the honorary winner, there must surely be a loophole which allows this.

Is this release of The Source any different at all to the original? [I haven't ticked this because I haven't heard the version, despite loving the song]

I don't vote for reissues just on principle. I love that single but it's kind of depressing if it wins.

Reality TV dominates all

From: [identity profile] awesomewells.livejournal.com
Ordinary Boys.
Dead Or Alive.
Chico.
Shayne Ward.
Will Young.
Kelly Clarkson.
Liberty X.
Girls Aloud.
Probably at least one other.

Is this a record for the most reality TV-orientated songs on one Now!?

We're into the period where I have been reviewing singles for Stylus, so I'm surprised at how many I still don't know.

Woman In Love

From: [identity profile] mostlyconnect.livejournal.com
This is a really good single? The video is totally startling, her beau gets killed halfway through it (!!!) and she sings the rest in this incredible giant purple funeral dress, thousands and thousands of petals falling from the sky, her face this transfixed, pained, ecstatic expression?

Tiebreak

Traditionally this is between two very good songs. Not this time! It is between one very dull song from an otherwise ace popstar, and a dreadful song from dreadful popstars. WVS.

I love how the Sugababes' idea of a self-empowerment anthem is one based around calling other people names.

It's lovely nonetheless, 'Unpretty' rewritten for...other people.

I liked it! From its very first airing on X Factor no less. It's a really well put together song written by the same people who write for ROOSTER, oh yes...

Rooster are the worst band ever. If there is a worst band ROOST then it is they who rule it DYS.

No love for "No Worries" which transcends its vile elements to be something quite wonderful.

Why don't more people like the MVP track?

It gives a playful nod to 'I Like To Move It' (not as good as that, but still good).

I think I moaned about this on the Feb top 40 poll also. carry on...
