Another Year In Pop: 47

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Beyonce has knocked the X Factor off the top! Alas there's little else of note going on in the chart this week, with only three new entries (for some value of 'new').

[Poll #1303917]

Xmas watch: 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is steadily climbing, while 'Fairytale Of New York' is in at 62. There may be other festive stuff going on between 76 and 100 but for some reason the OCC website hasn't updated itself this week, and the Yahoo chart only goes up to 75. Sorry!

(also, apologies for the lateness of the poll - I'm off work this week)

I love how being off work means you spend less time on here. :D

Ahem. Well, er my job isn't the most fulfilling thing in my life, put it that way.

that was easy! n-dubz at their most wack vs the most boring band in britain vs a perennially pert smugstress and her racist video. FAILS all round.

I watched the Robyn video properly last night - isn't it dreadful? It's almost worse than the X Factor saccharine, at least that doesn't even try to be clever so can't really fail at it...

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Yes I read your blog! And basically agree. The most actively annoying thing about it is how bloody pleased with herself she is.

I agree with you about this dreary Robyn track. No tune + no voice = all meh.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Blimey that N-Dubz song is kind of traumatic - 'never knew how much I loved you till you was DEAD!' It's a good song but I'm not sure how many songs featuring dudes holding candles I can cope with right now, they seem to be all over the bloody place.

Oh dear. DON'T LIKE ANY it is this week.

I take it S*** P***** are piggybacking on Leona's X-factor performance the other week.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Yes. She's releasing her version of it for her wobs single I think. There's also a new entry at 54 by 'Ameritz' called 'Run (in The Style Of Leona Lewis)'. I am not sure what to make of this :(

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

end times?

Ameritz

[ijgrieve.livejournal.com]

I think that's a karaoke version (with just the music, so people can sing 'in the style of Leona Lewis').

n dubz i like in theory as an entity, but that just goes on a bit for me. the robyn is well old right? wtf? (tho this is par for robyns)

if i had a husband list LB would be #1 on it. her track 'Meddle' which she did on Later is also good. and see her 'wearing my rolex' on youtube performed in her blackburn accent if you haven't. i do not expect her to make any impact on the charts.

me either TBH. i see she's done lots of covers.
