poptimistsNot much going on here in December, with parts of the lower reaches being taken by the yearly suspects. I'm planning to close 2008 voting (including this one) next weekend, say SUNDAY 11 JANUARY AT 1800 HRS British time, and then hope to have the 2008 results ready in the course of Monday. Vote away!
[Poll #1325434]
Nothing on November's list seems to have grabbed the crowd here; in the lead are Keane ("The Lovers Are Losing") and Craig David ("Insomnia") with 28.6% each. This is a mere 6 votes out of 21. The closest contenders ate T-Pain ft C Brown and Sneaky Sound System, one vote behind. Still, only three voters have voted DON'T LIKE ANY.
BONUS AYIPS FACT: This particular chartstat is rendered a bit unclear & difficult to check due to Featurings etc, but it appears the act with the largest number of sub-40 hits and NO top-40 hits may be Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. They debuted on the charts with "Patio Song" in November 1996, which then dropped out immediately after a week at #41. Up to September 2001 they then charted seven more sub-40 singles, none of which lasted more than one week.
Second place seems to be held by That Petrol Emotion, with seven singles from 1987 to 1991. In third we have Diesel Park West with six and a third (due to a split Christmas EP) from 1989 to 1992, followed by five acts, each with six unsuccessful attempts at breaking the 40 limit: Alfie (2001-2005), dEUS (1995-1999), Frazier Chorus (1989-1991), Love and Money (1986-1991), and Mew (2003-2006; may still climb this list).
