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.

Haha our lists are ODDLY SIMILAR even though we are arguing! I am pleased to see 'Too Lost In You' surprisingly high up yours.

I have ALWAYS declared big love for "Too Lost In You".

Oh, "Follow Me Home" is near the bottom.

BOLLOCKS I knew I forgot one. I really like 'Follow Me Home' actually - slot it between 'Hole In The Head; and 'Soul Sound' for me.

Everything below "Cuahgt In A Moment" in my list, btw, is non-essential. That said I do rather like "New Year" and "Angels" a fair bit, I rate them a fair way ahead of "About You Now".

I relistened to Three tonight and fucking hell that album is quite something. Oddly for a pop album most of the faster tracks fall flat or awkwardly (except 'HITH' and 'Buster') but each and every one of the ballads is immensely gorgeous and lovely. 'Maya' is really genuinely profound!
