poptimistsIn 2008 the canon polls shall be taking an extended break (almost certainly to be revived at a later date), and will be temporarily replaced by All New Top Secret Friday Orgafun Action! Calm yourselves - there are still 5 Fridays left in the year (not counting today), and we need to decide how best to fill them. Who would you like to see join these illustrious pop stars in the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
poptimists Hall Of Fame?
As there are five weeks to fill, you get five picks! However in a fit of generosity (and fear that I've missed someone obvious) you may nominate one further artist in the text box below - they must have had at least ten UK Top 40 Hits in some shape or form (you can check this here), e.g. Annie Lennox has only had 9 solo hits but combined with Eurythmics she has charted like a billion times, so both would need to be covered in the same poll.
It's gonna be tough but don't fret - the runners-up will almost certainly be revisited in the future. Artists with an asterisk by their name are still actively recording new material (as far as I know). Whether this affects your vote or not is up to you! Would you rather wait until Avril has a few more singles under her belt? Or does she demand immediate tickery?
[Poll #1093510]
Edit: Though the Spice Girls have not officially been subject to canon, they featured in an early Poptimist poll here. Feel free to go back and tick it!

Date: 2007-11-25 04:37 pm (UTC)This is exactly the reason! Also because recently the planning time for picking & typing out & finding pictures for weekly canons is usually between 12 and 12.30 on my Friday lunchtimes and even less if I have a meeting or something. Next year I hope to actually put some level of thought into the forthcoming Orgafun Extravaganza :)
Same reason we haven't done Xtina yet - I was giving priority to artists who weren't putting out new stuff in 2007. I'm still not sure if Gwen's going to release 'Early Winter' or not this year (she has a couple of weeks before it is 'Actual Winter' or 'Sick Of Winter Already'), obv that would be a good canon inclusion if we could get it. I was a big No Doubt fan circa Tragic Kingdom & would also like to give them all a good ticking :)
