I'm still licking my wounds over the poor showing of JoJo (who must be about 20 ticks out of contention). I expect you lot to poo all over her wonderfulness tomorrow, too.

The Jojo track tomorrow is far and away the best thing on the poll. It will get between 5 and 9 votes.

The Jojo track tomorrow is far and away the best thing on the poll

Not that this is saying much! But it is a great single. (JoJo by the way is a huge mystery to me, since I have absolutely no feel for her personality or persona or anything, she's not a distinctive stylist (like, say, Jordan Pruitt, who can redeem pretty much anything), she just manages to deliver song after song after song: her Billy Steinberg song beats most people's Billy Steinberg songs (even t.A.T.u.'s), her Scott Storch song ranks very high among Scott Storch songs (compare to the latest Tiffany Affair single), and so on.)

It's been a while since I listened to the second JoJo album, but the title of this new single isn't ringing any bells. As Frank knows, I have been disparaging about recent JoJo elsewhere. But I'll give the album another go tonight, perhaps.

The "Lollipop" song in tomorrow's poll is definitely tickable. I own a version of it on the Ministry of Sound Clubbers Guide to 07 mix (this is an excellent compilation by the way - catch up with all the latest dance hits in one swoop!)

The title is a bit anonymous. But you'll know it when you hear it.
