A Year In Pop: 18

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A new month, a new poll! Get that tick rate going again!

[Poll #982157]

All previous polls are still open, etc etc. if you've "got into" any of the year's pop platters since their initial blushing entrance to the charts.

As of this second, not confining myself to dreary Brit charts:

1. Lloyd f. Lil Wayne "You"
2. Ashley Tisdale "Not Like That"
3. JoJo "Anything"
4. Yung Berg "Sexy Lady"
5. Keak Da Sneak "That Go"
6. Linda Sundblad "Lose You"
7. Taylor Swift "Teardrops On My Guitar"
8. Dragonette "I Get Around"
9. Rihanna f. Jay-Z "Umbrella" [also the remix w/ Lil Mama]
10. Kelly Clarkson "Never Again"
11. Sadie Ama "Fallin'"
12. Lil Mama "Lip Gloss"

Plus a whole bunch of album tracks I'm not going to worry about (Miranda Lambert, yet more JoJo, yet more Taylor Swift), plus about another dozen tremendous singles.

At least three of those - Lil' Mama, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna - would be above Avril in mine; so would 'Get It Shawty' by Lloyd (either Nina Sky or Missy/Yung Joc rmx), though not 'You'.

Rihanna far and away my single of the year so far.

Haven't really listened to "Get It Shawty" yet. "Too Little Too Late" was in my last year's top 20 - so was "A Public Affair" which I think is a Brit single this year, isn't it? - and "Say It Right" was in my top 40, and all three of those would easily be in this 12; I think very few of my current 12 will make it to my final list. "Umbrella" may well rise as it has more of an impact on me; the Clarkson and the Swift are getting by more on the singing than the song, and they've got better to come, if the record companies make the right choices.

Dragonette

The "Girlfriend's The Competition" song is much better than "I Get Around"! It's on their myspace.

I will look for it once I'm done this week's League Of Popping. "I Get Around" is the first Dragonette I've ever heard.
