All these are great*. Well done all poptimists!

*Even though 'Take Control' is way better :)

Yeah 'Take Control' is way way better. My favourite Amerie moment of the year though is on 'When Loving You Was Easy', when that dramatic crashing middle eight ends with the triumphant line "And I DIDN'T need to bring my choir to let you know you were wro-o-o-o-ong..."

I had pretty much forgotten entirely about "Gotta Work" and was somewhat surprised it did so well. But I'd forgotten about "Take Control" too.

I didn't think I knew "Gotta Work", but it turns out I've heard it and assumed it was a mid-table track on the Beyonce album. NB this is in no way incompatible with it being awesome!

I somehow appear to have missed Gotta Work completely, which is odd as I've heard almost all of the rest of the top 40 so far. And it's awesome!

Aww, "Gotta Work". I had a feeling LCD wasn't gonna make it but couldn't think of a substitute. (Note that as I write this LCD may still make it) This one really surprises me, but I do like the song a lot.
