I am very sad indeed that Ms Furtado's Say It Right does not appear in the overall top ten.

Long Blondes

I continue to want to like them, and I'm just not sold. Are they going to mature into something fabulous, or does Kate Jackson just have star quality that is being stifled by a derivative indie band? (Or neither?)

Objection, m'lud.

How in god's name did the godawful Manics come out higher than the Arctics in the April poll? What's wrong with you, Poptimists?

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.

Over half the April top 10 is REALLY BAD! Not mediocre, not meh, but actively vile. And there were good singles which didn't make it! I am not claiming that Akon or Ne*Yo's last singles were, like, masterpieces or anything, but they're light years ahead of Mark Ronson/Manics/Arctic Monkeys, not to mention that nauseating Dan Le Sac horror.

God imagine what April would have been like if Amerie and Amy hadn't snuck in at the last minute :/

My own top 10 so far (of stuff which has been in the top 40)
