Another Year In Pop: 42

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Pink has hung on to the top spot, fighting off stiff competition from a comedian in drag and last year's X Factor dude (Same Difference were ROBBED why yes I am still bitter).

Probably-X-Factor-related re-entry watch: Boyz II Men's 'I'll Make Love To You' in at no.89, U2's 'With Or Without You' at no. 66.

Ticked Saturdays, Katy Perry and Ting Tings.

I liked I Kissed A Girl but the new one is better, with a great chorus and better lyrics (apart from the 1 horrible line).
Ting Tings was borderline, it'll either grow or I'll never quite get hooked on it.
Saturdays is average but in a good way.

Razorlight and Leon are dull as might be expected, and as for Geraldine - well, it's a parody I get that - but it's not enjoyable to listen to.

PMS as a verb?

Curious as to what you're designating as the horrible line. Is it "You PMS like a bitch, I would know"?

Yes, that's the line. Not only the use of "PMS" as a verb, but the fact that "I would know" is such a crap second half of a jolting line like this.

Well, obviously it stands out as a "difficult" line or I wouldn't have immediately known what you meant. But it possibly deserves points for audacity, and you need Katy Perry to be jarring somewhere, or she isn't Katy.
