A Year In Pop: Week 3

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Delayed by a day or so, and I *still* haven't heard any of the new tracks, so my actual participation will be limited!

I've included the Moyesian re-entry of Billie, though you'll notice that reissues are italicised and will be included in the final year-end charts for indicative purposes (this is stats speak for 'we'll ignore them'.

[Poll #913675]

Mika is #1, if you didn't know, with Just Jack and The View #2 and #3. Where oh where is the chart full of old fogeys I was promised, eh?

Obviously I HAVE heard the Billie track, but I will tick it along with the others (or not) when I listen to them tonight.

Who are Mason and what is an Exceeder?

If you lisyen to the poptimism podcast tiz on there. Well at least Mason vs Princess Superstar version

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

yes. BAD freakytigger

It's Mason v Princess Superstar! It is in exactly the vein of that Bodyrox/Luciana single - the vocal from Princess S's 'Perfect' over boshing electro nonsense. I think the title proper is 'Perfect (Exceeder)'.

I was not sure whether to tick 'Honey To The B' - while it is obv a great song I feel slightly soiled, as if a vote for it is a vote for Moyles.

good point re Billie

i may untick on principle

i don't like the PS vox over 'Exceeder', a bit too fast. the track is OK so i dunno...half a tick?

I may do the same re Billie, but Moyles could have chosen to hype many, many worse songs.

No one's going to convince me that 'Perfect (Exceeder)' is better than the original 'Perfect' by PS. But it's definitely tickworthy, I've decided.

Have not heard original "Perfect," but original "Exceeder" is far better than the mashup. I ticked because otherwise I'd only have ticked "Billy."

Er, Billie.
