Best Song Of 2002: NOMINATIONS

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's 2002, and it's nominations time!

NOMINATION RULES

10 song per person limit on stuff that didn't chart in the UK top 40 in 2002.

Nominate as many charting hits as you like.

Nominating fewer than 10 non-charting songs is perfectly fine.

Do check everyhit.co.uk for chart placings: if your song might be spelled weirdly and doesn't show up in the results, try searching by artist instead of title (or vice versa) or using 'contains the word' instead of 'first few letters'.

Recommend posting nominations in a new comment thread rather than in the middle of another thread, as I am lazy and therefore unlikely to go digging around in nested comments etc.

Don't worry about repeating someone else's nomination - as far as possible I'll let you know if one of your ten picks is already nominated so you can choose another one.

Songs that were released in more than one year should go under the year that gave it its highest chart placing (if it didn't chart then bung it in whichever of the years you like)

Nominate double-A sides separately please!

ARGH ARGH HELP

Some examples:

- Person A nominates tracks 1-10 from an obscure German techno album plus Kylie and Fischerspooner.
- Person B nominates Scooter only.
- Person C nominates the entire top 40 from May 21st 2002 because they loved it so much.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE RELEASE YEAR FOR NON-CHARTING STUFF:

Here's the general criteria for determining what year something falls under:

1. Everyhit
2. Discogs UK release date
3. Discogs US release date
4. My werk database
5. Wikipedia/other interweb source

So if Discogs says it was 2002 but Wikipedia says 2003 then we go with Discogs. If the song doesn't turn up on any of these I'll just take your word for it.

Should that be Pastor *Troy* rather than Pastor Jade? Anyway, I don't know "Are We Cuttin'" and am looking forward to hearing it. I love Ms Jade. Must go and listen to her '02 album again. I rated it highly at the time.

It is Pastor Troy ft Ms Jade. I know this because I filed a massive box of unsold singles of theirs at [record label name redacted] a year later.

yes, yes it should. wasn't paying attention when I typed it out due to having left poptimists. this is my last gift to the community! maybe some of those songs will get ticks! and get beaten by whatever appalling indie disco shit.
