[Poll #1312786]

*all polls will be open until the end of the year when official results will be posted.

And remember - send yr list of 10 top tracks to leagueofpop@gmail.com before the end of the year too.

I unticked The Charts Being Rubbish because I want Scouting For Girls to win.

Also, as an American, most of your No 1 singles this year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_100_number-one_hits_of_2008_(United_States)) have been pretty good. You should be smug about your charts!

But still a relatively lame year on the pop charts, considering.

Also, I don't know about that list of No. 1's. Flo Rida has never reached me - is sort of just average southern hip-hop, in comparison to engaging stuff like V.I.C.'s "Wobble." And there's way better Wayne than "Lollipop" and way better Mariah than "Touch My Body" and way better Rihanna than "Take A Bow" (and better "Take A Bow" than Rihanna's, i.e. Taylor Swift's) and way better T.I. than "Whatever You Like" and "Live Your Life" and way better Britney than "Womanizer" and way better zillions of things than Coldplay.

'In The Ayer' emerged from the dust as my favourite Flo Rida jam of 08, thanks in part to my hip-hop dance teacher constantly playing it for us. I basically agree with you on all those songs but it's still better than the UK!

I sacrificed Katy Perry on the same bonfire.
