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!

As I've said elsewhere before, a more than half-decent NOW! with which to end.

That Ne-Yo track is finally starting to click with me.

I guess I've been listening to a lot less pop radio in the last year or so: don't know why. But the tunes I do know off the last couple of NOWs, I haven't much liked. I'm quite prepared to believe this is to do with me and not to do with the 'state of pop' or anything. But fuck it, I'm too busy listening to Rust Never Sleeps to care.

i vote for P&J also -- maybe my single vote ever for DAVE Q'S BRAZEN HUSSIES will become a mighty torrent of all-time winningness

eurgh. it's been in my head a lot annoyingly - but i think it's awfully trite and cliched.

L. Allen = from London -- she is 'urban'
O. Boys inc. LADY SOV -- they are 'urban'
N. Furtada0 : is urban AND IN THE LEAD!
Gnarls B: is (RUB) and urban AND DOING PRETTY WELL!

If you're not careful I'll go back and tick the Zutons because the lady trumpeter is Hot.

'Touch It' has a cool beat but the sample is annoying and Busta even more so. Guy has lost it in a massive way (esp. with the new one).

There may well be a macro poll with all the 64 winning tracks in.

Out of interest, apart from NOW!1 has there been any other changes in winner since the returning officer (i.e. Tom) "called" the original result?

When Nelly F sings 'make you spend hard' she totally means 'cum' as well as 'spend money', doesn't she? In fact the literal meaning here is only a kind of disguise for the figurative one.
