Yet Another Year In Pop: 1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Welcome to YET ANOTHER year in pop! The UK charts were pretty dismal at times in 2008 - let's hope things pick up in 2009 and we can end the decade with a bang (though I expect it will be a while before Alex Burke is knocked off the top). So what sparkling new releases are going to rejuvenate and invigorate the virginal charts this frosty Monday morning?

[Poll #1325705]

Hmmmmm. There are barely any tracks in the top 75 that haven't been hanging around since at least November but patience, people! There's plenty of stuff scheduled for release later in the month (including a new Helen Love single? WTF???).

(Also: you have until 12noon GMT tomorrow to go back and tick any of the 2008 polls that you missed out or have changed your mind about!)

still mystified by this amount of hate she's attracting from some quarters. the level of hype is stupid altho i find it easy to ignore (not going out of my way to hear the album but will probably like one or two tracks on it). it annoys me a lot more that 'Just Dance' has been around so long (half a year?) and has only just made it into the UK charts. ridiculous.

song itself is OK, catchy if irritatingly casual/could do a lot more.

What annoyed me most was having it tacked on to the end of all Universal's new youtubes for about 3 months arrrgh arrrgh go AWAY.

to be fair, i only developed this hatred after having had a careful listen to her album. which is an abomination.
