It didn't take LM for me to know how good that second Mystery Jets album and it's singles are.

[Duff.]

Kind of amazing Kanye's only had three top ten's on the SOMB list. Didn't know this was eligible. Good song.

[MattDrufke]

Love this song. Fantastic way to open an album. Also, Paul, I like that you're putting where other singles placed on previous lists. Genius touch.

Heh, yeah.

Mystery Jets made on of your 101 songs, right? Can't remember just now how it went or what I thought.

Let me be the first to say, should have been higher.

I had it the highest on my list but we could be seeing four of her singles on the list so best not complain I guess.

I was trying to post that before any songs were posted, but paul was so quick. I would never ACTUALLY say should have been higher/lower and mean it. It was just a joke.


That said, I Will Possess Your Heart should have been lower.

I did know that but chose to add a sound opinion of my mine as the opportunity presented itself.

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar (feat. Matthew Santos) / Superstar (Remix feat. Young Jeezy and T.I.)
(1370 Points, 11 Votes)

US Chart Position: #10

UK Chart Position: #4

B&S Online Review: As the Chicago-born visionary is showing with each new tune, the conscious hip hop crowd have a new hero.

Lupe joins the likes of Common and Talib Kweli in the eternal battle against mainstream hip hop’s material obsessions and imaginative subject matter vacuum.

The previous taster single from the upcoming ‘Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool’ album, ‘Dumb It Down’, was just a little too left-field and out there for many tastes, but ‘Superstar’ stands as a much more sensible choice of flagship single, blending Lupe’s characteristic easy vocal flow with a pleasantly lumbering piano-led beat, a soulful hook, and the odd sample and sound effect. Even Judge Jules played it on Pete Tong’s Radio One show recently!

Late of the Pier - Heartbeat
(1370 Points, 5 Votes, One #1 Vote)

US Chart Position: n/a

UK Chart Position: #98

Clash Music Review: The Castle Donington group have lit up a pale, wane emotionally bereft British indie scene with a series of superb singles and a debut album that is by turns insane and utterly brilliant.

While their scenester clothes and oh-so-quirky dance moves may irk the indie purists, there is no denying that Late of The Pier have the tunes. “Heartbeat” opens like a lost relic from the 80s, all power dressing and Michael J Fox movies before taking a turn for the demented. With a sense of the operatic surely inherited from Freddie Mercury’s mic stand, “Heartbeat” explodes into a shrieking, writhing chant as catchy as it is confusing. A brilliant primer for one of the year’s best debut albums so far.

"Relatively boring and somewhat inoffensive technoelectrowhatever" Disagree with inoffensive there tbh. Good to see I didn't do an Epic Fail and not have my #1 on the chart.
