Year In Pop, Week 34

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

Hi dere pop-tickers (do you see?!) I am filling in for freakytigger on these polls whilst he is off on his summer jaunts. Hopefully, I will not rubbish it up too badly but if any of these have blatantly been in the polls before then tell me. The Official Charts Company haven't pulled themselves together enough to update yet so I had to do this by comparing last week and this week's chart off the BBC, ie: I hope I got this wrong somewhere because otherwise this is the worst week for singles in the history of the known universe. :(

[Poll #1045844]

Whoa whoa, is this Elvis business going to go on for much longer? How many non-number ones did he ever have? This makes three whole Elvis singles in the top 40. Surely this is NOT RIGHT.

I like the Maxïmo Park, although to be honest I kind of talked myself into it - they have done (could do?) way better

I didn't think Kaiser Chiefs were going to release a third single from this album, after having barely made the top 20 with Everything Is blah blah, and this will have flopped awesomely by next week as did the last one

Haven't heard the Kano/CD, so I'm off to youtube that

I think it might be going on for several months. I don't even know who's buying them- I was tempted to add a secondary question to the poll as to whether anyone had ever bought an Elvis reissue (or indeed and Elvis single at all) but decided might be inappropriate.

I feel the same re: Maximo Park. It is a bit crap but oh well at least it isn't Sean Kingston.

Kano/Craig David is ace!

MONTHS! jesus.

The Kano/Craig David is good, especially in the context of this week. I love contexts.

Yeah regardless of the quality of the Elvises I'm not ticking any of them on principle. GO AWAY STOOPID OLD MUSIC.
