A Year In Pop: 47

Well, that was easy - only four new entries, unless I've read the BBC charts wrong. I'm also guessing that this might be the last week in which our overall winners might be troubled, but let's see.

if soulja boy does not get AT LEAST 15 ticks i shall be VERY ANGRY (if sadly unsurprised) - there was a small girl on the bus one morning last week playing this through her phone and singing along to all the YOUUUUUs - this alone would have made my day, the seething faces of the boring boring commuters around me were the icing on the cake. come on, poptimists! i know you hate americans but how can you resist this.

tangled up is largely a v boring album but 'call the shots' is magnificent (although when i listen to it i always think, hmm, you're no 'early winter' are you)

but it is DIZZ who takes the gold medal this week! with a hugely inappropriate summer anthem! slow, fast, up, down, bring it back...

Soulja Boy has both the instant WTF factor and is a real grower too - I keep noticing new little bits that make me grin.

I will be playing it LATE and LOUD at Poptimism on Saturday!

It is also languishing on four ticks, wtf is with people not ticking it (or Dizz!), aargh I wish the haterz would explain themselves!

Sadly I don't think I can make it to poptimism: friend's bday celebrations...but I shall dance to Soulja Boy in honour of it anyway.

I am VERY disappointed that said friend's celebrations clash with my DJ set. oh well what can you do.

Soulja Boy hasn't grown on me - it came on the radio on Saturday morning (admittedly I was feeling unwell) and I thought it was too noisy.

on an unrelated note I am NEVER playing with the fucking TWL dictionary again. aaargh I hate this game! I am a VERY BAD LOSER!

I'm the 15th tick. Do I get a prize? A stuffed bear, a cake?

You are one of the few members of this community with my approval, then, which means more than a thousand cakes.

srsly poptimists need 1x CRASH COURSE in contemporary hip-hop.

like, ok, whatever, people might not like black people 'urban music' but how can you think 'Flex' is NOT any good at all??? how?? that is incomprehensible to me.
