The Poptimists Top 40 Of 2007 Part 1

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Tenderly compiled from the votes of about 40 people.

40. FEIST - "My Moon My Man (Boyz Noize Remix)"

YouTube Video: here (I'm not embedding it cos it's not an actual video).

39. CASSIE - "Turn The Lights Off"

YouTube Video: here (as above except it's a picture of lovely Cassie not of god knows what).

38. KATE NASH - "Foundations"

Actual video footage of the Gnasher and wrestling toothbrushi!

37. RIHANNA - "Lemme Get That"

YouTube Video: here - this time we get an SLIDESHOW! Not a single yet (why? It's awesome!)

36. CORTNEY TIDWELL - "Don't Let Stars Keep Us Tangled Up (Ewan's Objects In Space Mix)"

NOT EVEN ON YOUTUBE! Come on somebody, make a Doctor/Rose fanvid or something.

35. ROISIN MURPHY - "Overpowered"

One vote here was for the Seamus Haji remix. Nightbuses! Kebabs!

34. MIA - "Jimmy"

Video as "re-enacted" on the dancefloor of Poptimism! (Which is on THIS SATURDAY pop pickers)

33. TIMBALAND ft KERI HILSON - "The Way I Are"

No embedding on this video but since it's been totally omnipresent on music TV this year you hardly need it. "You can still touch my knob, it's free"

Nos. 32-25 tomorrow!

SMALL PRINT:

1. I didn't bother checking if songs were released in 2007 or not. Some weren't (or haven't yet been, maybe).

2. If a song and a remix both got votes I combined them and gave the placing to whichever version got more points.

3. Points were alotted to placings Eurovision style i.e. 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.

4. I won't be saying how many points tracks got till we get to the top 10 though.

5. Only songs with 2 or more voters got placed.

6. Placings were decided by: # of points/# of voters/remix bizness/highest individual score given/artitrary whim - in that order.

IT'S THE GANASH!!!

Good god how did Kate Nash end up in here!

I absolutely love everything here except Gnash and Feist but somehow voted for none of them.

I didn't vote for any of these. Would have voted for Cassie but I decided to save it for 08. But this is a good list so far.

SO tempted to try and make video for the Tidwell remix...probably not involving DT & Monkey Girl tho

First time I've heard the Cassie! Such a slacker...

[credoimprobus]

Haha I suspect one of my votes has any chance of placing. Though it's nice to see tracks that I had to woefully discard from my top ten getting repped!

(Will the full spreadsheet be made available at some point? I'm as curious about the votes that didn't make it as the ones that did, to be honest! *nerd*)

Hurrah! I wasn't the only person to vote for "Turn The Lights Off," and I don't see any reason I can't vote for it two years in a row.

The only one I haven't heard is Tidwell, though I haven't yet given this version of the Feist a spin.

I don't think it's Feist's fault that everyone who writes about her makes her seem like she's doing music for passive-aggressives. But I'd like her a lot more if she were more Lilyish (pleased to be sticking herself in your eye, that is).

I'm glad that I voted for Foundations as it has vexed The Lex, but as it happens, I still really like it...

Great list so far -- the Tidwell remix was on one of the Poptimixes and I put a little "find this" star next to it. (Still not sure if this was attached to a bigger project or was just a one-off -- I did seek out the Fred Ball album that "Uptown" was on, though, and wasn't disappointed -- four or five really great songs on there!)

Count me in as someone who maybe had one track make the list, although it was my #1 track.. but maybe none did.

It would be fun to have a "DEFEND YER ONE-POINT SONG" entry. :)
