Another Year In Pop: 16

A small but potentially fruitful week - last.fm Poptimists favourites MGMT score their first hit, Nelly returns (with Fergie in tow), etc.

And Madonna is #1 incidentally.

Goldfrapp - sorry luv, I still don't really like the Flaming Lips.

Kanye & Dwele - this is the one with the bonkers video where the lass kills him with a spade isn't it? Love the electro house beats on it, botherd about Kanye's rapping but it's not hindering the verp-verp any so a big ol' TICK from me.

MGMT - Aiyick, I'm not sure about that stylophone riff... Interesting video (points for nu-rave zebras) but this is even more Flaming Lips-y than the Goldfrapp. It's very... plodding?

Nelly & Fergie - Ferg is on a swing (http://youtube.com/watch?v=D4dcTshug2g)! This is still pretty good but it's still sub-par for both N and F. Borderline tick, mainly for Fergie's slowed-down vocoder rap.

Thinking about it, the Kanye & Dwele is basically one step up from that Taio Cruz/Luciana song (which has grown on me a lot).
