A Year In Pop: 46

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Another slowish week and the charts are starting to silt up a bit - labels holding fire on new releases in the run up to Christmas I guess. Some interest this week though: 1. Niche! 2. Has that Spice single not had a physical release yet or is it genuinely a huge flop - first time I can remember a Children In Need track going DOWN in charity week!

[Poll #1091138]

In other news: huge apologies for the continuing non-appearance of the Pop Open. My home internet was down last night though I should of course have done it earlier. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Re: Only 10 votes for the biggest anthem of the year

Now up to 12 votes, which I believe puts it ahead of either of the JoJo singles, both of which I prefer not only to this but to "Potential Breakup Song" - but I'll admit that neither of those JoJo songs is as distinctive as "Heartbroken" or "Potential Breakup Song." Still, is "Heartbroken" actually low-profile among nontalkative Poptimists? If you're an adult in our general neighborhood of the World Wide Web (general neighborhood being people who go online to talk about current hot Anglo-American music), I'd think you'd be more likely to know "Heartbroken" than "Potential Breakup Song," unless you have an American daughter under the age of 13.
