Another Year In Pop: 48

We have a new #1! Take That go straight in at the top spot, Beyonce's down to 2.

[Poll #1307186]

*I think this originally charted last year so still counts for poll purposes? No obligation to tick it, anyway.

Xmas watch: As well as Mariah, people have been buying enough copies of Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' to bump it up to 67, and the Pogues & Kirsty climb up to 44.

End times watch: the karaoke version of Leona Lewis covering Snow Patrol is still lurking in the low 50s :( :(

EDIT: Oh I've 4rsed that up good and proper haven't I? Of course I mean 'Greatest Day' for the first option of the second question.

"If I were a boy" just gets better and better on every listen, doesn't it? I was a bit meh at first but it's now my favourite Beyonce ballad by quite some margin.

Ditto...it's quite basic, but she really sells it. Like, the chorus melody is just the verse melody pitched up an octave, but the way she shifts her own vocal approach really makes for some contrasting emotional territory.
