2011 In Pop: JUNE

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Better late than never! I forgot to check the OCC one week in June so apols if the best song ever has been missed off - bung it in the comments if so and I'll tack it on to July's poll. As far as I can work out it's been either Jason DeRulo, Example or Pitbull at #1 for the duration.

[Poll #1760000]

Feel free to post your Top 20 lists for 2011 in the comments!
