The GBP has spoken. But where do poptimists stand? Let's do it. (NB: this is my first ever attempt to do a poll, so I hope I haven't screwed up)

The PSB one is (I thought) an EP - and while "Snow" itself isn't up to much it does also have a good Coldplay cover and "All Over The World", the best track from 'Yes', on it. So ticky.

That George Michael thing is the one he did on X-Factor? That was OK I thought! Maybe I will tick it.

Speaking of X-Factor, I was kind of wondering why "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" seemed to crop up so many times in the selection process (and someone did it on the night) and I guess now I know. One terrible dadrock soul ballad might be seen as unfortunate, but two etc etc

"Broken Heels" is good, one of the two or three best on Alexandra's album.

3OH!3 ft Katy Perry: fight the real enemy.

I really like the George Michael song. It should make it onto my wobs mixtape for this year. While I generally prefer the more upbeat/novelty type of festive ditty, there's always room for at least one more contemplative song, and George has been very good at these since Older I think.

PSBs is 'any good at all', but might fight to make it onto said wobs mixtape. You are correct that it is an EP. But this is the lead song and the one the OCC listed this week.

'"All Over The World", the best track from 'Yes''

agree with this - only thing on there i liked really (maybe 'Love Etc.' if generous)

didn't Rowetta release 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' herself?
