Yet Another Year In Pop: 10

Flo Rida bags the number one spot with a Dead or Alive sample, the Saturday's Comic Relief effort has to settle for second place.

[Poll #1362347]

Lower reaches watch: dudes have finally realised that the version of Beggin' on that advert isn't by Madcon at all and have accordingly bumped up the Frankie Valli version up to #47; Ladyhawke, Annie Lennox and Red Light Company are all hovering just outside the top 40.

Flo Rida - good (ie sparing) use of sample IMO, though the schaffle on the verse sounds a bit dated. Flo Rida's rhymes fit it pretty well? I think I would dance to this in a young person's nightclub so TICK. Also YO WARNERS what up with not allowing any of yr Youtube videos to be viewable in the UK? But it's ok on Myspace for some reason? Way T.M.F.D.

Saturdays - the other day a trendy dude (maybe late-20s early 30s?) sat opposite me on the train home was listening to this on repeat on his leaky earphones. He seemed to be listening very seriously and carefully, memorising the words as if his life depended on it. TICK

Chipmunk - apparently this should be Chip DIDDY Chip, soz like Chipmunk. OH DEAR the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6pMD1qhedE) has Tim Westwood as the TEACHER in Chipmunk's school :-O Hmmm, Chip's vocal is way more interesting than Flo Rida's but his beats are weaker. Borderline tick maybe?

Beyonce & Lemar - bof, this is one of my least faves off I Am... and Lemar can bugger off.

KoL - not going to bother listening to this one.
