Poptimists Tracks Of 2008 PART 2
Jan. 6th, 2009 10:30 amHere's #s 40-31 of the poll: will it be as controversial as yesterday's Funky House Wars? Only YOU can decide :)
re. embedding: I've decided to keep on with the embedding where possible - people seem to like it on the whole. Apologies to anyone for whom this is an inconvenience - if it's a problem it's apparently possible to turn embeds off in your LJ settings.
And now - onwards!
40=. MARIAH CAREY - "Touch My Body"
The winner of our Video Of The Year poll is, of course not embeddable.
40=. KYLIE MINOGUE - "The One"
A late flurry of votes for this one showed the poptimists haven't quite given up on La Minogue yet.
39. CIARA - "Echo"
Not even out yet! Late-leaked forthcoming maybe-single from Ciara's new album.
38. THE FEELING - "I Thought It Was Over"
The doyens of Mumpop made a muted comeback. I don't recall this lead single doing especially well in the weekly polls, but clearly those who liked it liked it a lot!
37. ALPHABEAT - "Boyfriend"
The majority of the votes here were for the original, not the Pete Hammond remix, so here it is.
36. ANNIE - "Songs Remind Me Of You"
I don't think Annie's comeback album even got a release - this track was mentioned as a standout by most who heard it.
35. DAVID ARCHULETA - "Crush"
Soulful prettyboy ballad which hasn't hit in the UK yet. Poptimists tends not to give this kind of thing nearly as much love as its girly equivalent, so I'm interested in what people think.
33=. LITTLE BOOTS - "Stuck On Repeat"
The "I Feel Love"-biting original is nowhere to be found on YouTube (your skillz may be better than mine here) so this link is blogosphere favourite Little Boots performing it in her pyjamas at a home keyboard.
33=. BEYONCE - "If I Were A Boy"
If she were a boy she might be less famous and maybe her songs would be embeddable.
32. SEPTEMBER - "Cry For You"
Europop is back! (Not that it ever went away.)
31. NOAH AND THE WHALE - "5 Years Time"
Somewhat of a surprise to me, I must say.
No.s 30-21 tomorrow! (at a slightly later time, I have a meeting in the AM)

i really like Meddle too. it's probably a better song than SOR but the latter's got great SYNTH DRAMA. at least they're totally different from each other. still doubt she'll chart but would be nice.
