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.

I don't like any of those four album tracks that much except "Ace Reject". Now, if we're talking "2 Hearts", "Million Different Ways", "Maya"... yes, those are great.

I hope "Mended By You" is a single. It's washy and cheesy but I like how their voices go on it.

whaaaat they're all incredible! I agree on 'Million Different Ways' and 'Maya' though.

is 'Mended By You' off the new album? I haven't heard any of it yet, I didn't get to rvw it and in fact may go and and - gasp - BUY IT from a RECORD SHOP after work.

It is, it's a gloopy but quite subtle ballad. "Never Gonna Dance Again" I think is going to be one people go a bit nuts about but so far it's only "good" to my ears. I'd say it'll be single 3, actually.

And if we're having a Sugababes album track discussion, I want to throw my weight behind 'Buster', which is both brilliant and hilarious. It sounds like it ought to be the theme song to a women's self-defence class.
