The History Of Jop Epilogue AKA Who do you who do you who do you think you are?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Tiresome admin bit: I asked on Monday whether we should include the Jackin Pop 2006 results in the overall Pazz and Jop ones. Results were positive but not overwhelming, so I decided to do the poll anyway and if enough people fill it out to make it a comparable sample (hark at the market researcher) it'll count. Otherwise, it won't.

Anyway, 41 tracks, fourteen ticks, here you go.


[Poll #909183]


This also gives me the opportunity for the Joptimists 2005 Top 10!

1. Since U Been Gone (43 votes)
2. 1 Thing (41)
3. Hollaback Girl (34)
4. Hung Up (33)
5. Gold Digger (31)
6. Mr Brightside (26)
7=. I Predict A Lex Coronary (25)
7=. Pon De Replay (25)
9=. Feel Good Inc (24)
9=. Bucky Done Gun (24)

Judging from the list above it looks like us folks in the UK had great year for imported pop: Justin, Nelly, Bouncey, Cansei, Cassie, Xtina, TI, Rhianna - even Kelis had a decent single. Reprazenting the Brits we have Lily and... er...um. I know this is an US list but DUDES sort it out.

Bring on the reign of Lady Sov. I know she is up there but she has hardly made superstar impact in the same way as eg Lily. In fact I may order her alBUM tonight off the magical interweb.

SOV

I wouldn't bother. You already have all the decent tracks on it, most likely.

I made an mp3 of "My England" with half a thought of writing something about it on poptimists, but in the end couldn't be arsed. I can still post the track if you want though.

I would quite like to buy it and in some small way convince Defjam that she is grebt and not to drop her pls. I only have one CD single of hers so it's only proper :)

Yeah I agree with Jeff, don't bother. And the best tracks on it aren't even as good as Sov's best ('Ch-Ching', 'Sad Ass Strippa', 'The Battle').

Did I mention on poptimists that I think the current era in British pop is the worst I've ever lived through? And that I don't think it matters because the US (and elsewhere) is hott like fire right now?

I really like 'Bossy' but not enough to tick - however I would have ticked the Switch remix. SO good to dance to! And also so exhausting.

Agree that there's better Sov and better Luke than this track (though none of this year's great Luke ("4ever" and "Nothing In This World" and "Tap That" and "Break You," just off the top of my head) made the Jackin' Pop.

It's a great alBUM! I have been playing it on heavy rotation. Obv if you have all the 'singles' then maybe it's a bit pointless, but as one who does not, I am a huge fan of the album.
