Yet Another Year In Pop: 7

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

NOES yr eyes do not deceive you it is SEVEN new entries - except two of them aren't "new", just forgotten from previous polls, and also is that Fray song really new? Who can even tell?

[Poll #1350130]

BUBBLING UP: My Chemical Romance's version of "Desolation Row" and Saint Etienne's "Method Of Modern Love" are nestling outside the 40. New Mum MIA is back in the chart with Paper Planes. Miley is creeping up w/Fly On The Wall but may yet end up in the clutches of Anatol_Merklich.

Taylor UK Hype Kru

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

In not Bubbling Under news, "Love Story" has slipped out of the Top 100 this week. However, the UK hype machine seems to be gathering pace. She was in London yesterday to do a days worth of "International press", culminating in a nice, relaxed appearance on Radio 1's 'Switch' programme last night. Apparently the crowd outside was bigger than for any other live guest on the show thus far. "Love Story" is now playlisted by both Radios 1 & 2, so they're clearly going for across the board appeal. Either that or they're still not sure who the target demographic over here is.

The single is out in two weeks time and the album (with new cover art) in three.

She's also been all over 4Music and TMF during the day - this should do well in half term week innit.
