AYIP Supplement September 2008

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

A slowish September turned up no more than ten #41-75 tracks – and it took a new Metallica album to get it into double digits. Click, watch, listen and vote as per usual!

[Poll #1281585]

In August, the clear winner overall seems to be Featuring. We have Nas Featuring Keri Hilson at 47.1%, Lloyd Featuring Ludacris at 41.2%, and DJ Q Featuring MC Bonez at 35.3%, the latter tied with um Bodies Not Featuring Organs.

BONUS AYIPS FACT: The song with the longest chart run ever without ever hitting the top 40 (including reentries) is Ken Barrie's "Postman Pat", which first entered the chart in July 1982 and has clocked up 15 weeks.

Only ten?! 9 of them are pish as well, and even the one I ticked isn't much better (and sounds like 'Walking In Memphis' at the start).

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

I'm reasonable sure ten is correct (once downloads of previously charting songs are discarded, hello Total Eclipse) -- but of course I welcome corrections whenever applicable!

Two new disqs since yr last AYIPS update, I think: "Tattoo" and "Disturbia"

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

it's still approx a million times better than the actual top 40 these days! (and there's nothing pish about TI or Sway)

[ijgrieve.livejournal.com]

TI is one of the worst songs I have heard this year.

Horses for courses, I guess.

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I think it's awesome.

It's absurd how diametrically opposed mine and Alex's taste in music are. He can easily list 20 or more songs and I won't like any of them. And vice versa, I guess.

Thanks for posting, but I'm inclined to agree; a slow month indeed.
