A Year In Pop: 45

A somewhat bijou poll this - and maybe should be even more so if "Valerie" is the same "Valerie" that's at #4 in the charts, just on a different record so credited different - can anyone enlighten?

[Poll #1087141]

Apparently 'Gimme More' still sold more that week than it had on downloads - but it went down the chart because it was a monster week for new releases (People's Leona et al), in any normal week it might have actually gone to No 1.

It's interesting that Kylie and the Spices have done relatively little on download - the relationship between initial success on download and eventual overall success seems odd and unpredictable. It doesn't necessarily mean they'll be flops but given the magnitude of both songs and comparing to how well Britney, Rihanna and People's Leona did as soon as they were available...
