Another Year In Pop: 45

Blimey! A bumper crop of new entries this week, with four lovely ladies barging their way into the top ten. None of them have knocked off the X Factor mess at the top yet, but give it time...

[Poll #1294584]

Bizarre re-entry watch: last week a competitive singing television programme had a disco theme which explains Blondie at no.91, but why is 'Mr Brightside' by the Killers in at 60? In the battle of the 'Hero's, Enrique is now ahead of Mariah (94 and 100 respectively), but expect that to change after Mariah's triumphant pulverising of everyone else on Saturday's X Factor...

I ticked Britney, Alesha, Christina and SfG. None of them are among the songs of the year by any means, or the best song by any of the artists (I think I'm the only member who likes 'She's So Lovely' - oh well).

Apart from Alesha, that is. I haven't heard anything else by her.

I wonder if there's a version of 'Live Your Life' that is purely Rihanna? The rapping ruins a promising dancer. Beyonce was tedious. The others I either didn't bother listening to or can't be bothered to comment on.
