Popsessed Album Chart: 12-02-2012

These albums charts are making it rather clear that this time of year really isn’t the most exciting time for new releases. Nevertheless this week’s, otherwise quite samey, chart, sees one new entry in Norwegian singer Lise Karlsnes, who’s album full of Robyn lite electropop won us over as soon as we gave it a listen, so we suggest you do the same!

Our weekly Song Chart will be up soon!

Congrats, Madge, it seems like your Superbowl performance at least landed you one number one already! Not the biggest surprise considering how much we loved the song, video, and performance, but definitely a worthy successor to top the list after Kelly’s Stronger. Kelly’s still going strong hanging around in the top 3 though, while Alexandra Stan somehow worked her way back up there too (we somehow just keep being obsessed with that song, don’t ask why!).

New entries: 5. Rochelle - What A Life 6. Ilse DeLange - Doluv2luvu 22. Rihanna - Do Ya Thang 25. Alyssa Reid ft. Jump Smokers - Alone Again 26. JLS - Take A Chance On Me 32. Parade - Yes You Are

This week’s batch of newcomers is being led by two dutch ladies, X Factor winner Rochelle and country chick Ilse. Both acts most of you probably won’t be very familiar with, but definitely worth checking out.
We already discovered Alyssa Reid last summer, and even though, as big fans of the original, we probably should hate what she did to Heart’s Alone, we just can’t resist that chorus, even when it’s being covered.
As for the other three new entries: they are just the usual bunch of ‘album tracks/singles that suddenly clicked, months after we first heard them’.

A new Song Chart will be up next week, meanwhile you also can keep up with (the biggest part of) our chart on Spotify!

Popsessed Album Chart: 05-02-2012

Another not extremely thrilling week for our charts, although this time we have at least one new entry. Well, new as in a ‘november 2011 release’, but we finally had the time to properly listen to the Rogue Traders’ new album/Greatest Hits bundle The Sound Of The Drums, and it’s pretty much everything we like about them.

Meanwhile, Kelly spends her 4th week at the top, we’re still really getting into the One Direction and Parade albums (the latter really is surprisingly stellar for a flopped girl group), and the other 11 albums all are still being more or less fabulous as well.

Our Popsessed Song Chart will be up tomorrow!

Popsessed Song Chart 29-1-2012

Another week with a double #1 for Kelly Clarkson! Of course it helped a little that it wasn’t the most exciting week for new songs, but either way it’s a welldeserved victory, cause we’re still not getting tired of Stronger. Unlike the majority of the list that’s falling down massively this week, allowing the more consistent tunes to climb to or stay on top.

New entries: 4. Kylie Minogue - Finfer Feelings (Abbey Road Version) 15. Eric Saade - Love Is Calling 32. Ola - All Over The World 35. Rogue Traders - Don’t Think I Love You

Hardly anything properly new in the list this week, the new entries existing of album tracks that started growing on us (Rogue Traders, Eric Saade..), a 2010 single we discovered ridiculously late (Ola) and Kylie doing a new (stunning) new rendition of a 20 year old single.

Like every week the songs leaving are hardly ones we dislike, but the remaining 40 are just a little bit better or more recent!

Popsessed Album Chart: 29-01-2012

Us having had quite a busy week doesn’t only reflect in a lack of updates, but also a lack of thrilling changes to our weekly charts, since we hardly had time to listen to any music over the past week. And so today sees a very similar album chart to last week, with only some tiny unremarkable movements in the middle. Let’s hope next week will be a bit more exciting.

Our Popsessed Song Chart will be up tomorrow!

Popsessed Song Chart 22-1-2012

It’s quite a nice week to be Kelly Clarkson. With some other songs getting old, she finally got Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) to the top of our list, making her the first artist who has topped our Songs and Album Chart, the first to simultaneously top both of them, ánd Stronger the only song to have stayed in the top 10 nonstop ever since we started these charts.

Just like in the Album Chart, the ‘first week hype’ dying down means some big drops for Young London, allowing many songs to climb back up a bit, which especially seems to benefit The Saturdays!

New entries: 3. Glee - I Will Survive/Survivor 8. Glee - Without You 13. Gabriella Cilmi - Vicious Love 24. Cher Lloyd - End Up Here 29. Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson - Don’t You Wanna Stay 35. Rogue Traders - If You Wanna Taste It 36. Le Kid - Seventeen 37. Kelly Clarkson - You Love Me 39. Cher Lloyd - Playa Boi

Two new entries by the Glee Cast, I Will Survive/Survivor being every bit as camp as it sounds, and Guetta’s Without You working surprisingly well as a ballad. Then there’s Gabriella Cilmi’s new (buzz?) single, plus a whole bunch of album tracks that either finally clicked, or finally got enough plays to be worthy of inclusion here.

Of course this means the same amount of songs had to leave the chart, which mainly became a massacre for Young London’s album (which we’re still enjoying by the way, just not as much as most of these songs) and great songs that just got old..

A new Song Chart will be up next week, meanwhile you also can keep up with (the biggest part of) our chart on Spotify!

Popsessed Album Chart: 22-01-2011

A calm week for our album chart, with no proper new entries, although Le Kid pops up ‘again’ (technically not cause the chart wasn’t around when we were first obsessed with their album) thanks to their new single Human Behaviour, kicking Sneaky Sound System’s From Here To Anywhere out of the list.

Meanwhile, with the first week ‘new album’ rush being over for Young London, Kelly returns to the top for her second week at number 1. And yeah, that’s about it for this week!

Our Popsessed Song Chart will be up tomorrow!

Popsessed Song Chart 15-1-2012

Quite a shake-up in our Song Chart again this week! Young London’s album release hasn’t gone unnoticed with 6 of it’s songs entering the list, although they’re still being outdone by The Saturdays who have a magnificent 9 songs in there again. Alexandra’s Elephant storms in at number 3, only being held back from the number one spot by the lack of a HQ version ánd the amazing new Le Kid single, which came completely out of nowhere.

Meanwhile, Pixie Lott benefits a little from the release of her hysterical new music video, while Madonna’s huge leap pretty much shows how much we care about the whole Madge vs. Gaga feud.

New entries: 1. Le Kid - Human Behaviour 4. Young London - U Got Me 9. JLS - Teach Me How To Dance 11. Young London - The Good Stuff 12. Young London - Whipped 13. Young London - Trippin Up 26. Young London - Be My Baby 27. Young London - Dangerous

Of course some old songs had to make room for the new ones..

Most were getting old, or just not thát amazing, with Alexandra’s Elephant mix not really being required anymore now the radio edit is out there.

Popsessed Album Chart: 15-01-2011

Another week gone, time for another update of our album chart!

It’s inevitable at this time of year, but it’s once again a quiet week for our albums. Still, we got one new album which, at this time of little new releases, we’ve obviously been playing a lot. We’ll write more on Young London’s album later this week, but their selftitled debut (which is out now) is quite an enjoyable pop album that will definitely be hanging around in our chart for a while!

Meanwhile, we keep loving Kelly, The Saturdays, Cher and Little Jackie, the One Direction album keeps growing, and Fawni’s Dirty Street Glam already leaves after just one week in the chart

Our Popsessed Song Chart will be up tomorrow!

Popsessed Song Chart 8-1-2012

There’s quite a lot of movement in our second weekly song chart!
Alesha Dixon gets the year’s first proper 2012 number 1, obviously in a period with few releases, but nontheless it’s a great and deserved victory. Then there’s a quite awesome mash-up, Cher and Little Jackie benefit a lot from their video releases this week, and From Above makes us wish we hadn’t finished our 2011 Top 100 yet. Why do we álways end up discovering great past year singles one or two weeks into the next year?

Meanwhile, Alexandra Burke didn’t quite trample the competition with her Elephant yet, but we have a feeling that might happen soon enough when the radio edit surfaces!

New entries: 1. Alesha Dixon - Do It Our Way (Play) 2. Rihanna vs. Katy Perry - You Da One That Got Away 12. Little Jackie - 31 Flavors 24. Kelly Clarkson - Alone 26. From Above - Not The Same Girl 28. Alexandra Burke - Elephant (Sympho Nympho Remix) 33. Aqua - Kill Myself 39. One Direction - Stole My Heart 40. Fawni - Echo

Of course new entries also mean that some songs had to leave..

All perfectly decent songs, that would probably have been around a bit longer than 1 week if our charts had been around last year, but by now there’s unfortunately 40 songs we’re more excited about!
