A Year In Pop: 38

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

JEBUS Poptimists has been quiet this week - this is what happens when Kat's away and I'm ill. But now it's back back etc with a Year In Pop which livens up a little towards the back end with the electro-rock new Sugababes single and the debut of Feist, who seems to be a regular on the Poptimists last.fm lists but who I have never heard, until shortly... after.... posting.... this....

As for Elvis, he said it, not me.

Shayne Ward? REALLY? I was expecting him to scrape the top 20. It surely can't be thanks to No U Hang Up? Anyway, how exciting that it is Max Martin vs. Dr Luke fighting for the no.1! Must go and blog about this right now!

It's higher than I hoped for, although apparently Sugababes were inching ahead towards the end of the week. Fingers crossed! Although frankly I think Max Martin, Dr Luke and Cathy Dennis all need to take long hard looks at themselves for their involvement in these below-par singles.

Which was Cathy involved in?

She wrote 'About You Now' with Dr Luke, I think. Unless I'm wrong, which is a distinct possibility.

Actually it does ring a bell. I like About You Now but with that great a combination of writers I would expect something a bit more amazing. I don't think it's as good as any of their other first singles of albums, except for Overload which I never really loved.
