POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: Nos 24-19

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

24. YEAH YEAH YEAHS - "Hysteric"

Pop balladry from Poptimists' current favourite indie band.

23. KID SISTER - "Right Hand Hi"

Electro banger, the video for which is Vevo'ed (though maybe I can embed it, IDK, let's give it a shot eh)

22. FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE - "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)"

Hurrah! It's Mad Florence! Who I admit I was slightly better disposed to before her appearance on EVERY TRAILER EVER on channel 4. Lowest ranked song to get more than 4 votes. A handful of points for the Jamie T remix here.

21. SAINT ETIENNE - "Method Of Modern Love"

One of (I think) 3 singles on the list I actually bought for digital money. No video exists for this I think.

20. LITTLE BOOTS - "Remedy" (52 points)

Into the Top 20! I was a bit disappointed in her 2009: many of you weren't.

19. JORDIN SPARKS - "Battlefield" (53 points)

WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP. Embedding disabled though.

Now we're in the Top 20 it seems a good time to ask for your PREDICTIONS and GUESSES, before it gets too obvious :)

I'm interested in whether Bad Romance gained enough traction to make it a 2009 song, when it's been in the last week that I've noticed it blowing up (from "Oh hey I really like this" to "Oh hey I really love this but it's Everywhere All The Time".

I have no idea what would keep The Fear off No.1 here.

didn't The Fear do quite well in last years' poll though? or is everyone just voting for it again (having said that, I did)

It was #19 - and the rule is that if it gets higher than that this time it counts, otherwise it doesn't. Wait and see :)
