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

[Poll #922510]

Was it a good month for pop music?

Yes. It's a cliche that January is a "slow month" in UK. But it's true. Hardly any new product gets really pushed until 2-3 weeks in.

That said, by comparison with January 2006 (http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/153023.html), 2007 wasn't so bad. (Cor, took me bloody ages to find that entry. I'd forgotten what tag stevem78 was using last year.)
