Yet Another Year In Pop: 12

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Lady Gaga nabs her second number one with the slow-burning 'Poker Face' and Beyonce elbows her way into the top ten with 'Halo'.

[Poll #1370346]

Lower reaches watch: Heads Shoulders Kneez & Toez just misses out on the top 40, plus there are some new entries from Royksopp, Skepta and that 'I Love College' song argh. Also, Ronan Keating covering Cyndi Lauper = NO THX.

La Roux: 5/10 (the Skream mix almost makes it tickable, and I do actually like her "wooo-ooooh" but the rest of her singing is just too off. i reckon i can come up with a re-edit of my own that i'd like tho...)

PSBs: 6/10 (bit generous maybe as it's not much a song to write home about and meh schaffel beat but i like the synths, and them, still...)

Rahman/PCDs: 5/10 (not feelin it sorry)

Franz: 6/10 (generous again - always like the FF stomp tho)

Enrique/Ciara: 5/10 (so close to a tick but alas neither of them are smoking a cigar. also i may have docked a point for the video because it uses that filter/tone i really hate. i'm fickle and harsh yes).
