The History Of Pop Part 64 aka Make you work hard make you spend hard

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

And NOW, the end is near. We were rating some of these songs only LAST WEEK on Stevem's monthly pop polls, so apologies for the necessary duplication. The long heatwave of June/July 2006 - how long ago it seems eh?

Now 63 was won by Gorillaz, notching up their second poll winner with "Dirty Harry" on the frankly apalling score of 55% tickies - this would have put it in 8th place on the first Now poll. Make of that what you will.


[Poll #789802]


TH-TH-THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

The thing is we can do that easily anyway - which song got the most ticks ever ("Push The Button" I think!). Or which got highest %age, in which case a Kate Bush/Britney poll will suffice.

Mmm, but I'm not sure the same people were present for every now poll - I think context affects what one picks, and seeing all the 'poptimist consensus' choices together would probably create a new set of results. Maybe if you upgraded the 'any good at all' to 'really good'? Or used the 'tick no more than a third' system?
