The History Of Jop Part 6 aka Animals strike curious poses

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Beware the savage jaw of 1984! The Pazz and Jop poll takes some curious turns this year with plenty to analyse in the comments boxes. For once no holdovers from last time or entries from the EP list, though I was sorely tempted to put Into Battle With The Art Of Noise in.


[Poll #823959]


The Joptimist Metapoll Remix (1983 Dub) is as follows:

1. Billie Jean (35 votes)
2. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (34)
3. Little Red Corvette (30)
4. Beat It (28)
5. White Lines (Dont Dont Do It) (26)
6. It's Like That/Sucker MCs (21)
7. Burning Down The House (18)
8. Every Breath You Take (17)
9=. Lets Dance (16)
9=. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (16)
9=. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me (16)

Much wider spread of voting last time btw.

Was it not all the different versions of Two Tribes (and other ZTT releases) that lead to the chart introducing rules about the number of formats and remixes?

I don't think so, e.g. the 'only 3 formats' rule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Singles_Chart#Criteria_for_inclusion) came in much later.
