Yet Another Year In Pop: 13

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Gaga is still on top; Noisettes, AR Rahman and Metro Station enter the top 10; Lily Allen's current singles sit side by side at 16 and 17.

[Poll #1374776]

Lower reaches watch: Miley Cyrus' 'Climb' is doing just that, Gels Alahd and Nickelback jump 80-odd places each and the return of Formula One motor racing to the BBC prompts the re-entry of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' at no.94.

Top 10 watch: Last week you lot voted Taylor Swift as your favourite song in the top ten. Taylor got more than twice as many votes as 2nd-placed TI despite that dreadful dress she's wearing in the video. Well done Taylor!

The Noisettes' success confuses me. They were once quite good but now sound like the shitting Ting Tings, although I suppose that is in fact what sells these days and I am simply not down with the kids/middle aged record buying public.

Don't like KIG, Lily Allen annoys me almost beyond belief and mystifies me as a single when she could have released solid-gold amazing 'Everyone's At It' but seems to have decided to go with 'annoying and cutesy' instead to, idk, tap into the perceived American market or something/not appear too srs bsns. White Lies can fvck right off, as can Steve Angello & Laidback Luke if that's a cover of the Robyn S. Asher Roth embarasses me ob behalf of THE WORLD.

Jennifer Hudson, on the other hand, is brilliant. Thank god.

That dress Taylor wears in the 'Love Story' video REALLY ANNOYS ME. It's so... drippy. Like it was going to be sexy and then went 'oh shit, this is Taylor Swift' and wussed out and just looks crap in either direction. It simultaneously appears to be falling off (but not in a seductive manner, just in a 'that's an awkward fit' way) and yet also incredibly restrictive due to massive corset making her look like a child and also it's clearly some form of shift and she's actually FORGOTTEN TO GET DRESSED. I really don't care that much about popstars' sartorial decisions but that dress is just so annoying! It may actually be why I don't like that song at all, aside from the fact it's also boring.
