Yet Another Year In Pop: 4

Slim pickings this week as the chart continues to lose momentum - four non-movers in the top ten (including Lady Gaga at no.1). Let's hope it doesn't actually grind to a complete halt.

UHHHH why the fuck is everyone ticking Franz Ferdinand? You are all so fucking indie it is unbelievable. What is good about that track?!

i think it's *just about* any good at all (let's say a 5.5 out of ten), certainly wouldn't say i disliked it enough to tick "don't like any" (i am against bon iver and haven't heard the jay sean), but it was a relatively close call.

5.5/10 does not garner a tick from me! (It's about what I'd give Jay Sean.) I am being STRINGENT with "any good at all" now, after going over last year's ticks and discovering that I had 0 recollection of some of the tracks I ticked. Litmus test = whether I like it enough to acquire an mp3, and then whether I willingly play the thing ever again.
