The History Of Pop Part 65 aka Jumping In My Tutu

Happy 2nd Birthday Poptimists!

As a celebration, here's a trip down memory lane - a NOW poll! For more recently arrived posters, the NOW Polls covered the first 64 volumes, and ended at around this time last year. There are now three more volumes, not that I'm intending to poll all three, but enough water has flowed under the pop bridge for a summer-of-06 lookback to not feel ENTIRELY like a pointless exercise.*


[Poll #1020712]


*in a relative sense, of course.

AKA

"Umbrella" vs having more than one good summer jam in the charts.

replace Fratellis and Jimorrison and "Bob Sinclar" with Lily, All Saints and Gnarls and that would be one of the greatest blocks in a Now poll EVER. makes one year ago seem much better than it felt at the time.

Are there any of these you really liked last year and have gone off already?

I forgot how amazing 'Unfaithful' was! This is her second best single after 'Umbrella' and 'Pon De Replay'.

TS: 'Hips Don't Lie' vs 'Beautiful Liar'?

I think I ticked about twenty things on this. 'I Don't Need A Man' is BRILLIANT in a 'comedy dancing in bedroom' way but 'Yeah Yeah' is AMAZING in a 'comedy dancing in Y Bae' way and 'Something Kinda Oooh' is hardly shabby. In the end I went with Pussycat Dolls because I just put it on and it sounded fucking ace, whereas I don't have a copy of 'Yeah Yeah' and my 'Something Kinda Oooh' single is downstairs in a box.
