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.

HE GOT TO GO!

Of course there is a hook! Bay-baaaaaaay-eh, bay-baaaaaaay-eh...

I have to say I haven't really listened to the album that much. As in more than once. Um.

idk the "He got to go!" bit just seems like a huge signifier of attitude w/out anything to back it up to me...

I'm not surprised re: the album, it is 18 tracks long after all (apparently including the various itunes bonuses, it comes to a total of 23 tracks wtf). 11 of those tracks I have never listened to again, but it's worth it for the seven I've incessantly jammed... ('When I Grow Up', 'I Hate This Part', 'Halo', 'Love The Way You Love Me', 'Hush Hush', 'Magic', 'Bottle Pop').

i still can't get over how amazing halo is. i've sort of ignored the rest of the album as a result.

How amazing is the outro? "I didn't mean to fall from grace, I didn't mean to fall from grace..." And how perfectly suited to the role of corrupted angel is Scherzinger?

it blows everything else on that album so far out of the water... and the cat noises at the start are a genius touch. nicole's perfectly suited to the bitterness, it can support a bit of oversing as she's wont to but doesn't let it get too out of control. it could have the most amazing video set in a police interrogation cell, too.
