There WAS a chart yesterday but - for the first time this year - it featured NO new entries.

So, if you're whiling time away on the interwebs today, a pair of reminders:

1. All Year in Pop polls are STILL OPEN: click here to see the last 25 and then keep going backwards. The perfect opportunity to tick tracks (or whole weeks!) you missed (or untick ones you came to hate) - if you click on the "Poll#xxxxxx" link and then "Fill In Poll" you can revise previous opinions. I will probably be mad enough to totalise everything next weekend sometime.

2. FINAL REMINDER to send yr top 10 tracks of the year to leagueofpop@gmail.com today! Clearing up a possible confusion - you DON'T have to send me ACTUAL TRACKS, just a list of the top 10 will do.

2a. This final reminder especially applies if your name is THE LEX as you won't have a leg to stand on when you complain about the group's choices otherwise!

Good grief.

(ObReminder: LEAGUE OF POP AT GMAIL DOT COM TEN TRACKS DO IT NAO or before new years anyway)

Like a terrifying rogue planet the awesome gravity pull of WOBS is warping the charts - now we see what the all-downloads rule is really about.

[Poll #1099584]

Almost there though!

Another slowish week and the charts are starting to silt up a bit - labels holding fire on new releases in the run up to Christmas I guess. Some interest this week though: 1. Niche! 2. Has that Spice single not had a physical release yet or is it genuinely a huge flop - first time I can remember a Children In Need track going DOWN in charity week!

In other news: huge apologies for the continuing non-appearance of the Pop Open. My home internet was down last night though I should of course have done it earlier. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

A Top 3 full of new entries for the first time in...ages! And some other stuff.

No Pop Open results, by the way, until we've got an acceptable level of votes for the 90s group.

B-b-but....where are the Sex Pistols?

[Poll #1072823]

Sweet Christmas it's THIRTEEN new entries, almost a third of the WHOLE CHART. Surely ONE of them must be good!!

[Poll #1064074]

October round-up and Pop Open results to follow - what a day of orgafun content!

Hello clouds hello sky hello elvis reissues, I'm back in the "saddle" (thanx to piratemoggy for her excellent work) and ready to tick. Just one question - what is Phil Collins doing here?

[Poll #1057109]

EDIT: THE HI TACK SONG IS "LET'S DANCE" NOT "SAY SAY SAY". THOUGH IF YOU HATED ONE YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO TICK THE OTHER I GUESS. IDIOT ME.
