Another Year In Pop: 9

Stagnation in full effect at the top end of the chart, with the entire Top 6 non-movers and the next four just shuffling about a bit. Is there anything going on at the back? See for yourselves!

Leona - hmmm dunno about this. My beef is kind of the same as with that last Alicia Keys single: her vocal is less gasping but there's hardly any variation in the main melody, just an "aaaeeeaeaeaeeieiieaaaaaa" around the same old notes all the time. They should have pumped up the backing vox (the 'allll get better in time' bits) and given it some depth. Can't find any remixes on youtube yet :(

Alphabeat - I love this, mainly because of their perky faces. The dude looks a bit like Morten Harket was presenting Playschool, ie lovely. I'm sure I'll get sick of it soon but awwww they're so cute.

Gels - It sounds much better if you haven't listened to all the best tracks on the album just beforehand. Oh go on, tick.

Delinquent - ah this was on video club, wasn't it? Yep, tickety tick.
