Best Song of 2000: Heat #8

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Still D.R.E., Spinning Around and The Real Slim Shady led the pack in Heat #7, while Stronger and Stan fought off a last minute surge by The Bad Touch to join them in the 2000 final.

Last heat today! And there are some proper bangers below the cut...

• You get a maximum of TEN TICKS over the three bits of the poll. The top five will go through to the next stage.

• UK chart placings given in brackets.



• Rep for your favourites in the comments!

[Poll #1423267]

You have until Friday lunchtime to vote, at which point I'll post a full list of the qualifiers for the 2000 final. HOWEVER we're not going to be voting on that straight away (to try and avoid tick-fatigue on the same songs). Instead, next week we're going to start nominations for 2001. There will be a slight change in nomination procedure (more details to follow) but there'll still be plenty of time to get your thinking caps on.

I doubt that someone with a "passing interest" in pop music has ever heard of Trina. Even some people who pay lots of attention to pop pay no attention to her. Iirc, "Nann" got only three votes in Pazz & Jop '99. Most of her appeal was regional, she only once crossed over to the U.S. Top 40 ("Here We Go"), much less the Brit, and I'll bet prior to this month three quarters of the poptimists voters had never heard "I Need" and "Pull Over," and you can't expect those who did then make an effort to listen to en masse give up a vote for something they know well and love for something they've just heard that won't have time to sink in. I mean, if they're not even going to extend themselves to the Dixie Chicks' "Goodbye Earl"...
