A Year In Pop: 10

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Last week's poll has mustered a pretty disappointing 30 votes so far - well down on the usual totals. This is probably due to it featuring 12 new entries and not a single agreed-on standout: it's always good to put yr tick against a box, though, even if that box is the dispiriting HAVEN'T HEARD option.

Another nine new tracks this week, but at least the chart compilers have taken pity and slipped a famous name or two in, and a trendy indie band in at no.40.

[Poll #946429]

Meanwhile in League of Pop news: anthonyeaston is stepping down because of illness - get well soon Anthony, we'll keep a place warm for you next season.

In one of the American buyouts that is rocking sport, however, koganbot will be stepping in to take the reins.

Also, in incompetence of Tom news: there were TEN new tracks this week - the one I forgot will go in next week's poll. Don't hold yr breath though.

Who the fvck are Biffy Clyro?

Seriously. They seem to have been around for years without me ever having even been slightly motivated to hear one of their songs or read a word of their interviews (which I have never seen).

I'm assuming they're one of these bands that chart high purely on the back of a dedicated fan base without ever impacting upon the wider world.

Enter Shakiri = concept that is brilliant in its rubbishness. I don't like them particularly but I like the fact that they're there. It's sort of endearing.

Everything else - yawn. Candyman is possibly my least favourite track on Back To Basics too. So annoying!
