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

FYI: anyone who has not ticked Kano

If Sean Kingston does not win I will seriously consider leaving this community FOREVER!!

Sean Kingston - gets a tick for the SUICIDAL, SUICIDAL bits which are k-awesome. And you can't fault the choice of sample - that Ben E King backing was crying out for some RnB thievery.

Elvises - I really like both these Elvis tracks! And I ticked him last week so I should be consistent really.

Kano & Craig - great chorus, Kano is very endearing.

Maximo Park - judging by the title this song is going to make me Very Very Angry, isn't it. Oh wait, it's just another boring song that doesn't even provoke a reaction for me. Whatevs.

Kaisers - terrible dirge of a song and minging concept video.

Well, it is to all intents and purposes a Sunday...

Sean Kingston went from a sort-of-intriguing to really grating very quickly for me, and that song seems vexingly ubiquitous here in the capital. There were also posters for it on every spare bit of wall at the Notting Hill Carnival, although I don't actually remember hearing it played at any of the sound systems yesterday.
