Another Year In Pop: 37

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Ladies and gentlemen we have a new number one! We truly are living in exciting times when Kings Of Leon can get to the top spot. Hmmm.

Elsewhere, Miley is slowly sneaking up towards the top 10, Skepta's Rolex Sweep enters at no.89, and Bonnie Tyler is this week's inexplicable new entry at 57 thanks to Total Eclipse Of The Heart being cheaply dubbed over that Phil Collins gorilla advert.

Ay ya ya the horror continues. Worst top 3 since the last time it was this bad, which was...a few weeks ago, probably. Seriously how and why are the Kings of sodding Leon popular now? Anyway.

Kings Of Leon - any time an indie boy sings about sex it is turgid and grim, this is no exception. Reminds me of Bruce Springsteen ughhh

Cliff Richard - continues to represent a massive amount of wrong things about the general cultural landscape of this miserable island

Iglu & Hartly - got 10 seconds in

McFly - charmless and pointless as ever

Basshunter - fuck OFF

Queen - hang on I thought they were dead? I have always thought that they were pretty much the worst band in existence

Sonny J - what a totally incompetent mess of a record. Go Team comparison otm. Why can people not just DO THINGS PROPERLY

thank christ for Flo Rida and MIA! even if the latter is like 94944 years old now and actually, thinking about why it's a success now is just as depressing as contemplating the artistic merits of the songs above.

Still, the Flo Rida is really terrific - all aboard the freestyle revival! It's all about the robot girl backing vox in the last few choruses. "Oh hot DAMN. This is my JAM. Keep me partying 'til the AY EM. Y'all don't underSTAND. Make me throw my HANDS in the ayer, ayer, AY-AYERRRR." My hip-hop dance tutor has taken to playing in our classes and it's really awesome to dance to. This should be mashing the competition.
