A Year In Pop: Week Two

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

After last week's appetiser the chart gets back to feasting (on its young) - THIRTEEN new entries to rate and contemplate, we see now why Stevem's monthly polls were so huge. Possible points of interest include the BBC's "Sound of 07" Mika with the highest new entry, and nu-ravers The Klaxons getting their first proper hit. And of course download revolutionaries KOOPA.

[Poll #908393]

I have downloaded all of these and will give them an listen and report in the comments thread. But don't take my word for it!

Our major national pop radio station (Radio 1) appears, as far as I can tell, to play roughly six songs per hour, then plays the same six songs the next hour, repeat ad nauseum. Sometimes it is alright during the night/evenings (Annie Mac's show and the Sessions In The Nations make Thursdays ace listening) but mostly it is AWFUL BEYOND ALL BELIEF. And that's before you get started on the fact Chris Moyles is one of the DJs.
