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?

I think it isn't a bad time for pop at the moment - I listened to the radio fairly solidly over January and was glad that Just Jack and The View were popping up on Radio 2 just as regularly as bloody Paolo Nutini, and at least Mika is entertaining rubbish. I don't imagine I'll be looking back on any of these songs with fondness a year or two from now though.
