Yet Another Year In Pop: 5

The wintry weather hasn't stopped Lily parachuting straight in at number one; other high climbers using their pickaxes and oxygen apparatus include Alesha (who moves into the top ten) and Jason Mraz (who just misses out at 11). The rest of the chart might as well be stuck in a snowdrift.

Why would you name your band after a fart?

I know about the Airborne Toxic Event because of the minor spat caused by a review of them from Pitchfork, which said that they were an embarassingly overwrought combination of current meaningfulcore nindie tropes (LCD, Arcade Fire, Killers, etc.) The band wrote an "open letter" back, which was hailed in blogland as them sticking it to The Man. As a representative of The Man I stayed well away and didn't hear them as they sounded like they'd be unbearable. Having heard this track by them I am pleased to say that The Man in this case was quite right.
