The History Of Pop part 12 AKA Coolin by day then at night workin up a sweat

Back on the normal Now schedule with the second half of 1988, and a surge of rootsy Celts into the charts - go on, say something interesting about Danny Wilson, I dare you. Elsewhere the first brithop revolution is in full swing and S Express flies the disco flag, also a top [livejournal.com profile] diggerdydum crossover of course.

"Always On My Mind" won the Now 11 poll, pulling away by 1 vote from Belinda Carlisle (Blinda gets another crack this time). Kylie in third, then Beat Dis and Coldcut. Elton generally considered worst, not entirely because of my prompting. Today's poll seems a lot more open.


[Poll #645995]


IN OTHER ORGAFUN NEWS: There are 5 places left in the Pop World Cup! Also Winner Stays On should be back tomorrow but I can't think of anything to put in it. The new Kelis single has leaked but it's a bit eh. Any ideas?
