The History Of Jop Part 25 aka Don't want to be your Daddy just want you in my Caddy

After an enforced absence, the History of Jop polls enter their final lap, reaching 2003. IT'LL ALL BE OVER BY CHRISTMAS! to coin a phrase. You get THIRTEEN ticks across thirty-nine singles: the Rapture were on last poll as well, the greedy beasts, so we leave them off this.

I really don't know why 'Baby Boy' gets dismissed so easily - I think it's a monster, definitely better than 'Crazy In Love'. It does have this generic "Eastern beat ft Sean Paul" feel to it though, and because a lot of poptimists only like r&b when it steps outside of r&b, generic songs which take note of the genre's boundaries and stay within them don't get so much love.

Beyoncé POV:

1. Irreplaceable
2. Baby Boy
3. In Da Club
4. Ring The Alarm
5. Work It Out
