Poptimists Tracks Of 2008 PART FOUR

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The hairy cornflake returns with Nos. 20-11 of your favourite tracks of the year.

20. GIRLS ALOUD - "The Promise"

Perhaps a lower-than-expected showing for perennial Poptimist darlings GA - their retro-themed video is not embeddable.

17=. MARIA DANIELA Y SU SONIDO LASSER - "Duri Duri"

This year the chart's been particularly good for niche enthusiasms getting a welcome shot of publicity. Here's sometime Podcast Panellists MDYSSL with some very bouncy pop.

17=. LILY ALLEN - "The Fear"

It's not even out yet! Though, unlike Cassie, it will be.

17=. KLEERUP ft MARIT BERGMAN - "3AM"

It's not just Robyn who gets to voice moody Kleerup tracks you know.

16. BEYONCE - "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"

If you liked it then you should have embedded it.

15. ALPHABEAT - "Fascination"

Sign of the music biz times (if true): Alphabeat have apparently been dropped by their UK label because their FIFTH single off their album flopped. Remember them this way! (NB the Bimbo Jones remix picked up a fraction of the points here).

14. RIHANNA - "Disturbia"

Last year's runaway winner makes a decent showing again.

13. HOT CHIP - "Ready For The Floor"

They really are trying to look like Buggles in this video, aren't they?

12. SOLANGE - "Sandcastle Disco"

Solange Knowles outpolls her sister, even if she hasn't outsold her.

11. KANYE WEST - "Love Lockdown"

Non-embeddable warriors! Kanye might feel hard done by here to be honest since SEVEN different people voted for this. If we were doing it solely on mentions he'd be at #5.

What powerhouse kept him out of the Top 10? Check back tomorrow when ALL will be REVEALED (and then at the weekend for the monster list of everything).

Ooh, 'Blind' and 'Official Girl': my own top 10 assumptions have been thrown askew slightly (for the better), I'd forgotten them. Cassie suffered from vote-splitting but if 'Thirsty' placed, surely her actual official single would have done well too...

A lot of people love that Kelley Polar track (inc me) but I think it's one of those which ends up being everyone's 15th favourite.

The Robyn/Snoop Dogg remix is really great.

Yeah, that Kelley Polar track was my no. 11 (and Satellites is top 20 too; rest of the album is meh to the max)

I thought you were allergic to all things Robyn? I normally like her but that remix is horrible, much prefer his original

I am allergic to most things Robyn but she has an irritating habit of bringing it just when you think you're safe to completely hate on her.

If it's any consolation I haven't been able to listen to the "Sexual Eruption" remix quite the same since you called Robyn "hatchet face" :(
