Happy New Year! Welcome to a nation with three Mika songs in its Top 40!

[Poll #1117595]

*officially a 2007 hit.]

(Because I still don't have home interwobs I haven't had the time to properly go through the 2007 lists - it may happen this weekend though!)

My god, I ticked all five!

Basshunter "Now You're Gone." Had way more of a lilt when it was in Swedish and confusing people as to whether it was Hilary Duff pretending to be a robot a boat pretending to be a bot or a bot pretending to be a human. This got three points for byebyepride in the Chart Championships, though all I could think to say at the time was "A really sweet voice." Easy tick, even if I'm more down with the bots than with this version.

Britney "Piece Of Me." Tick.

Mika "Relax Take It Easy." I just died in your arms tonight, basically, a resemblance that piratemoggy pointed out eons ago. Sounds excellent, no matter Mika's other transgressions.

Booty Luv "Some Kinda Rush." Track is adequate. I said something about this last week, though I forget what.

White Stripes "Conquest." I want to think Jack is getting away with this; a man whose range can't possibly scale these heights without sounding ridiculous tries to scale the heights and sounds ridiculous. But he draws out the desperation and makes you aware of the heights in a way that Patti Page never could. As I said, I think he pulls this off, or pulls something off, though this definitely has moments where it's painful for me to listen.
