The History Of Jop Part 13 aka It's fun to lose and to pretend

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Back after a short absence it's the Pazz and Jop poll for 1991 - a particular blockbuster of a poll this with TEN ticks to be shared between 28 singles (would have been 29 but for C&C Music Factory cropping up last year too).

There's a fair bit of ground to cover in the comments boxes, I'm thinking!


[Poll #845917]


1990: Time For The (Poptimist) Guru

1. Groove Is In The Heart (48 votes)
2. Vogue (42)
3. Nothing Compares 2 U (34)
4. Gonna Make You Sweat (28)
5. Been Caught Stealin (26)
6. Justify My Love (25)
7. Hold On (24)
8. Kool Thing (21)
9. Epic (19)
10=. Welcome To The Terrordome (18)
10=. 911 Is A Joke (18)

Note very rapid drop off in vote totals from 1-3 down.

UK >>>> US

I had trouble ticking nine, and I nearly didn't tick Nirvana. I only did because I wrote my A level General Studies essay on Kurt Cobain. I will be interested to see the NME/MM polls for this one, I imagine the UK to be WAY superior to the US around this time. Get on one matey!
