A Year In Pop: Week 12

Avril! Hilary! The UK charts turn teenpoptastic this week with a #3 debut for La Vigne (and a #29 cameo from Hilary). Meanwhile the comical relief Proclaimers thing is number one.

[Poll #954743]

*the Pink record was left off last week's poll. I am reasonably sure I have not forgotten any more!

'With Love' is more dynamic and sharp than 'Catch You' though - it's jerkier, and Duff sells it in a way that SEB didn't, oddly by dint of sounding deliberately blanker where SEB was too much...herself.

I didn't think 'With Love' was one of the stronger singles on the album on the first run-through but I'm kind of obsessed with it at the moment.

Any thoughts about Good Charlotte? Two of them (Joel Madden and Benji Madden) helped write and produce "Beat Of My Heart." I doubt that "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" would be your thing at all, but it's got a grinding, scraping, gargling sound all its own that's very powerful.

REALLY? Oh no, oh no, oh no, this is even worse than finding out the Keane dumpling wrote my favourite new Stefani track. I hate Good Charlotte!
