Now That's What I Call A Music Poll! Vol. 23 (U.S.)

I've got the vibe this will be the most ridiculously unbalanced poll ever.

I hope every song gets at least one vote. Except for Hinder, who lay a goose egg.

Still "Sexy Love," my single of the year.

I'M BOSS-AYYYYYYYY.

"Too Little, Too Late" is an extremely close second.

"London Bridge," "Sexyback" and "Bossy" are the only ones from this that I really like much. "London Bridge" was my #2 pick for track of the year in the ILX poll, so I'm giving it the nod. As I wrote back then:

definitely hated on it on first listen (see the "check out the new MIA single" thread) but it grew on me rapidly. We've certainly heard songs by talentless lushes before, but I've never heard a song that so captured the experience of being a talentless lush - "London Bridge" perfectly captures the confidence, moodiness, and impenetrable certainty in one's own rightness that we've all seen in the faces of a thousand people at clubs yelling in cell phones that they're totally wasted and wish they didn't wear these shoes. There's something completely pure in the performance - possibly something quite unintentional, as the stabs at legitimate sex symbolism elsewhere in her career would suggest. But Fergie is much more "pissed jeans" than she is "Glamorous", and "London Bridge" seems to suggest that, hell, that's enough for a Thursday night on the town. Magnificent.

Also, if you haven't seen the Showbiz Pizza robots performance of the song, you really haven't lived.

Although I guess that guy has done a few of those, and it manages to improve almost every song. "Ms. New Booty" even!

I also absolutely despised "London Bridge" when I first heard it. Now I love it. Have to vote for "Buttons" though.

The first time I heard "London Bridge" I thought she was sampling Galang

Where the fuck were you people when I created that horrible M.I.A.'s "London Bridge" thread? (btw, "SexyBack" x 10)

Tape Store: I was the first person to respond to that thread, hating on the song! As I said: "definitely hated on it on first listen (see the "check out the new MIA single" thread)"

Yes, yes, you hated the song, but you didn't get the (what i thought was a fairly obvious) M.I.A. comparison.

re: "London Bridge"

I just like the beat.

lol lyfe jennings.

shit D4L couldn't even make one of these? RIP.

Hinder rocks! Go Hinder!

Except for Promiscuous this is pretty much the worst CD ever made and totally undeserving of its own poll.

damn it Rodney beat me to suggesting a concerted effort to make Hinder win.

If, when this poll ends, you're wondering who that one person who voted for "Public Affair" was, it was me. I love that song, the only song that even came close was "Promiscuous."

There are no good songs on that album. Not a single one. Some of those older US Now's did at least feature decent stuff such as Franz Ferdinand, Fountains Of Wayne or Killers. On this one, nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just crap and nothing but crap.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"older US Now's" = 3 volumes before this one?

if geir can't be swayed by teddy geiger then who can?

Yeah, this is the clean-up batter for 2006. If memory serves, it accurately reflects what was out there at the end of last year (a bunch of garbage). Dismissing the US charts as a whole just because pop music was in the dumper for a couple months is corny fuX0r behavior.

teddy geiger took a girl from my hs out a few years ago.

I think this is one of the better NOW editions. I like at least 6 out of the first 8 alot. Can't say that for many other of their discs.

Anyone who thinks there's nothing good on this is a crazyface. Sure, about half of it is shit, but there a good six songs here that are tremendous.

1. Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland : Promiscuous
2. Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z : Déjà Vu
3. Ne-Yo : Sexy Love
4. Christina Aguilera : Ain't No Other Man
5. Rihanna : Unfaithful
6. Justin Timberlake featuring Timbaland : SexyBack
7. Cherish featuring Sean Paul of YoungBloodZ : Do It to It
8. Fergie : London Bridge
9. The Pussycat Dolls featuring Big Snoop Dogg : Buttons
10. Jessica Simpson : A Public Affair

The Jojo's alright, too.

promiscuous is still awesome.

so awesome.

THEY CALL ME THOMAS LAST NAME CROWN

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I've got the vibe this will be the most ridiculously unbalanced poll ever.

yeah i heard promiscuous on the radio a few months ago after not hearing it for years, really one of timbo's best imo

that jojo song is great. would have voted for it for parity

Yeah, JoJo robbed but obv SexyBack and Promiscuous are classics.

there are at least eight 9+/10s on this list, has got to be the best one
