Another Year In Pop: 32

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

For better or worse, Katy Perry is this week's brand new Number 1. Rihanna moves up into the top ten, and in inexplicable re-entry news, Baz Luhrmann's in at no.72 with 'Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)'. Okaaay.

If we're including McFly - which erm I'm not - may as well get B&S in there to make 34 weeks. 'Beautiful Liar' may only be worth 7/10 but that is still Any Good At All.

I like 'Hello'! I think. But I don't like Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and I've never heard that Duran Duran song.

I've never liked them! Don't think I have any particular hate for them - maybe this is cuz I never have to hear them - but you know what I'm like with bellowy, stompy songs...

Other amazing runs:
639-645 (21 weeks)
679-685 (32 weeks! most of them thanks to 'I Will Always Love You' though which I heart but no one else will)

erm and then incredibly there is no notably long run of awesome No 1s until the aforementioned 'Umbrella' to 'Bleeding Love' reign.
