Another Year In Pop: 35

Katy Perry still at the top, five Metallica tracks in the top 100 and Miley finally gets her hit...

[Poll #1251664]

Longevity watch: Gabriella Cilmi's 'Sweet About Me' has now been in the top 40 for 25 weeks, Sam Sparro's 'Black & Gold' has notched up 23 weeks, and Nickelback's 'Rockstar' is still hanging around after 11 months (but not continuously - it took a summer holiday in the nether regions of the chart in June/July). Blimey!

p.s. Thanks again to Moggy for doing last week's poll! My holiday was lovely, thanks :)

A good ILM thread in case you haven't already seen

New music aplenty to investigate here (http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=63926) (scroll down for youtube links: thanks, [livejournal.com profile] skillextric).

I've only checked out about a quarter of the list so far, but have already found a couple of gems.

I've just got to the Ne-Yo song polled here, and that's really great too. I may have to buy his new album.
