Another Year In Pop: 12

Tick rate on these polls has been down a little recently but I sense that may change this week as two of the most hotly-tipped new releases share chartspace. Yes, Guillemots and One Night Only are back! Back!! BACK!!!!

[Poll #1160081]

well it's enabled her success by allowing the album to be made and released in the first place. if she hadn't gone there, Shine wouldn't exist. and it strikes me that the problem with the 'perceived' Americanisation lies more with the 'perceivers' than with the music!

not saying Kanye's presence isn't a factor, but you can't say "oh she only got to No 1 because of Kanye" b/c lots of people haven't, and if you then say that they didn't because of who they were...well, then Estelle must have succeeded in part because of who she is.

god, that Kid Sister song really needs a proper release though. TOES DONE UP, FINGERNAILS MATCHING.
