A Year In Pop: 40

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A more manageable eight new entries this week, including Aly and AJ's UK chart debut and the seventieth single off the Mika record.

[Poll #1067778]

Importantly, all previous polls remain open. Why "importantly"? Because you can GO BACK AND TICK ENRIQUE. This has been a public service announcement from the poptimists admins.

Stereophonics: I'm quite proud of my thoroughness in checking this was bad.

Manics: Not actually bad - I don't think it quite merits a tick but this is a lot better than I would have expected a 2007 Manics track to be.

Nasher: Human beings are all different and every individual is special. No tick.

Mika: Lungy ballad like a higher Robbie W. Better, a bit, than "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" - this is not saying a lot.

Lethal Bizzle: Indie-grime! Threatens to go a bit "Ullo John Got A New Motor?" but pulls back from the brink enough to earn a tick.

Kanye: ABSOLUTELY NO SIGN of Penelope Keith in song or video :( This is alright.

Kate Nash is certainly SPECIAL.
