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!

It is unfortunate that the only one I haven't yet heard or ticked is the Leona. Which I am sort of meant to be writing a review on, like, yesterday.

Anyway. Alphabeat wildly underwhelm me most of the time ('10,000 Nights Of Thunder' sort of massively pisses me off) but 'Fascination' hit me at a weak point in Woolies the other day so that's alright, the Delinquent ft. KCat is between 'quite good' and 'amazing' as far as I can remember although admitedly I haven't actually listened to it for awhile and the Girls Aloud is alright, although I always skip it when listening to the album and if they don't release 'Girl Overboard' or 'Damn' soon I will pretty much explode.

Yeah, the Alphabeat album is rather underwhelming. Only half of it's good, the rest is kind of functional but dull.

NOTE RECORD COMPANY PEOPLE: If you get a hit with "Fascination", please do not release "10000 Nights" as the follow-up. For god's sake, "What Is Happening". That is all.

I remain the only person who thinks that "Can't Speak French" is the obvious third single on Tangled Up, and I can't be arsed explaining why. I can't bear to listen to any of the songs off it past "Control Of The Knife" so I must be an old curmudgeon by now but THERE ARE NO TUNES IN THE SECOND HALF.
