Yet Another Year In Pop: 27

Cascada fend off MJ to the top spot this week, but our Jacko has the rest of the top 40 pretty much covered.

[Poll #1425742]

No lower reaches watch today as OCC is still stuck on last week and Yahoo is kinda unreliable for anything past the top ten. Basically there's a lot of Michael Jackson down there too.

These are all good reasons but I'm afraid it's actually because it wasn't on any of the big albums or compilations.

It's still a decent point though, given how Bad is kind of rub.

I thought this too, I hadn't actually heard 'Man In The Mirror' before seeing it was apparently the people's choice! I'd guess that it's right on the cusp between "famous MJ hits that people remember" and "MJ songs not quite canon enough that people already own them".

I've just read back and that actually makes no sense but I have no idea how to phrase it to express what I mean. UGHHHHH today is not a good day for language and me.

'Beat It' is prob my favourite MJ song in the top 40.

Man In The Mirror was apparently the most requested song on this MJ Tribute show I'm listening to so it's obviously a deliberate thing rather than something people are buying because they don't have it. The music channels have been hammering it but I don't know whether they were before it got the fan response.

Maybe dudes just really like mirror-based metaphors?
