poptimists | A New Decade In Pop: Week #50 (Reply)

The Black Eyed Peas move their dirty bits up to #1, beating 9-year-old Willow Smith into second. Not much else is happening due to the big Wobs push next week, although as far as I can tell no actual pop stars are bothering to try and get the Xmas No.1 this year.

[Poll #1657173]
Oh-dear-where's-my-career watch: last year's X Factor winner Joe McElderry gets to #68, the Manics struggle up to #44 despite wh0ring themselves out all over telly for the last fortnight, Flo Rida doesn't manage much better at #42 and poor old Alesha drops out of the top 100 completely after just a week.

Is it 2011 yet watch: Chris Rea Drives Home For Christmas at #100 :(
