A Year In Pop: January Round-Up

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Here's the top 10 for last month based on "any good at all" ism. I'm going to try a little poll experiment to see if thinking about ranking and worst provokes any more interesting debate or results. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Reissues excluded.

1. The Gossip - Standing In The Way Of Control
2. Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good
3. Kelis ft Cee-Lo - Lil Star
4. Just Jack - Starz In Their Eyes
5. Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race
6. Jarvis Cocker - Don't Let Him Waste Your Time
7. Mika - Grace Kelly
8. Guillemots - Annie Let's Not Wait
9. Jojo - Too Little Too Late
10. Klaxons - Golden Skans

Was it a good month for pop music?

Was a good month for pop music, though not on the British charts. Don't we usually have a What Was Your Favorite New Thing During The Last Month poll? Mine would be Lloyd f. Lil Wayne "You," which had been kicking around for four months but only just soared up the hip-hop/r&b playlists in January. Astonishingly more scrumptious than the scrumptious Spandau Ballet song it lifts, and amidst all the sifts and folds and sighs of gorgeousness you have scrappy Lil Wayne floating like butterlies and stinging like bees. Could well make my next year's P&J, if I decide it's eligible. As for new stuff that's actually new (e.g., not "Too Little Too Late"), Linda Sundblad's "Lose You" is wonderful.
