The History Of Jop Part 27 aka She got one of your kids got you for 18 years

And now - the final* Pazz and Jop poll. 2005 - seems like it was yesterday eh?

You have thirteen ticks across 39 boxes - the holdover from last year that I left out was "Galang", if you're interested.


[Poll #904749]


*or potentially penultimate, but I suspect the discussion of the New Times PJ poll will be along the lines of the JP one i.e. poll-free.

2004: Joptimists Verdict

1. Toxic (52 votes - offhand I can't remember anyone ever getting more, and certainly the 91% is huge)
2. Take Me Out (43)
3. What You Waiting For? (38)
4. Chewing Gum (37)
5=. 99 Problems (36)
5=. Galang (36)
7. Heartbeat (33)
8. Drop It Like It's Hot (27)
9. Yeah (Usher) (26)
10. Somebody Told Me (25)

And that's it. If anyone has any ideas for flagship poll series I will take them under consideration!

2005 was before I bought my magic telly box, so my first real grasp of what was enormo-selling pop was ITV's Song Of The Year thing in December, when I first heard 'Humps'. It was also the first time I'd seen the Gwen/Kelly videos the whole way through, and made me quite thankful that I'd latched onto current German dance music instead of current UK pop music (Westlife? Still? And they're STILL going now! Haven't their fans grown out of it yet?). 2006 has been a FAR poppier year for me thanks to Hits!TV.

I remember watching this with you. And then saying "Surely no actual human being can consider this any good at all."

How wrong I was.
