A kung fu fighter in a disco

Cor, plenty of chart action this February! Get stuck into this month's tick fest underneath the cut...

[Poll #1711338]

*The Official Charts Company SCORN her dollar sign!
**Charming.
***Sauce!
****POLITICS, y'know.

January's poll saw plenty of love for Adele and Martin Solveig, whereas it seems the Glee Cast have become totally Toxic, o-ho. It also seems that the Diddy Dirty Money album comes highly recommended by you lot - I can now add my voice to the throng despite not least because of the large amounts of ride cymbal on Last Train To Paris remind me of the first DJ Shadow album! Blimey!

Hope you all had a nice long weekend! Yet another Facebook campaign manages to get ancient Christian rock band Delirious? into the top 5 for Easter weekend. But SATAN'S AGENTS* Scouting For Girls beat them to the top spot!

[Poll #1547933]
*NB Scouting For Girls may not actually be in league with the forces of darkness.
**New to you, or new to the world - however you interpret it is fine.

ORGAFUN ROUND-UP:
- This week sees the final group matches for all the teams in the Pop World Cup. Head over to Freaky Trigger to listen and vote in all current matches.
- There's still time to vote in Heat #1 of A Decade In Country! Heat #2 will go up tomorrow.

[Poll #1424568]

As ever, the definition of 'new' is down to you - if you heard it first in June and it's awesome then that's fine. Links/embeds in the comments encouraged!

Reminder! You have until 2pm BST to vote in Heat #8 of 2000

It's April 1st, and definitely after midday so no foolin'. Time to recap and recount your findings and favourites:

[Poll #1376103]

As ever, 'new' is open to interpretation - if it's new to you, then that's perfectly acceptable. Discussions/2009 top-10-so-far lists in the comments are encouraged!

(Apologies for missing this poll last month - my workload is becoming increasingly huge so I barely have time to check LJ during the day at the moment.)

Blimey, August already! It's been a bit quiet round here of late - what have you all been listening to?

[Poll #1233427]

(remember, 'new' is open to interpretation - if it's new to you, that counts!)

[Poll #1049383]
Remember 'new' is open to interpretation (p.s. I heard some Pat Benatar for the first time yesterday and it was decidedly average).

Other questions: Has this been a good summer for pop? Is it better or worse than last summer? Has the rubbish weather made a difference? What is your favourite pop 'season'?

No number ones poll today as I'm k-busy, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. However a new(ish) month means a listener's poll!

[Poll #882319]
Remember 'new' can be something old you've heard for the first time.

PS. It's POPTIMISM on Friday! Details here.
