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!

is it just me or have less people been voting in these recently? songs are struggling to get above 20 these days.

also, all I ever see is love for bassline, but this...just doesn't ever translate into ticks :(

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

These polls generally get between 30 and 40 unless there's a big release out.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

HUH. I disapprove of the people who only show their faces when there's a big release out.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't think it's too hard to tick "Not Heard Any"! But each to their own!

I think there has been a decline in poll participation generally though across all features - maybe a Common People re-release would help.

dear GOD let us not tempt fate!!! oh god if that Beth Ditto/Jarvis duet is chart-eligible it'll bring them all out I bet.

it's still kinda niche - dance subgenres never cross over fully.

there hasn't been a single bassline hit that i can say i am 100% loving/behind yet (unlike prev garage offshoots) altho 'Gonna Be Mine' comes vv close but i'm willing to accept this is because i am harder to please (as opposed to having higher standards).

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

you ticked Alphabeat and Girls Aloud, it's def not higher standards!
