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: |
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!
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: 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!
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..

What do you think?Popsessed’s 2011 Top 100: #40-36
 | 40. JLS ft. Dev - She Makes Me Wanna A surprisingly high position for JLS, consider we’re at best casual fans, this song’s as generic as can be, and we just realized we never even saw the video, up till now. But sometimes (actually rather often) a pop song is just ‘fun’ and ‘catchy’, and there’s nothing wrong with that. This one definitely did the trick for us. |
 | In what we had accepted to be a Pink free year, this came as a very pleasant little surprise. Pink has never had a problem to find the way to our heart, but she’d never really done a proper big ballad like Bridge Of Light before, and though we never realized that it was missing from our lives, we were beyond happy when we got it. Bridge Of Light is every bit as sweet as you expect a song for an animated movie to be, but still has a Pink edge to it. |
 | 38. Adele - Set Fire To The Rain From one big ballad to another. With the many uptempos with huge choruses on this list it was incredibly hard to decide where to put a song that isn’t about that at all. So, just like our number 37, it pretty much ended up on the line between the ‘great songs we really enjoyed’ and ‘amazing songs we’re positively obsessed with!’. And that seems about right. Compared to the other singles of the album Set Fire.. is a bit average, but if you leave those two out of it this still is a standout lead single worthy song. Plus it gave us some equally amazing remixes. |
 | Apart from maybe our number 1 on this list, no song came close to being as 2011 defining as Friday. From the educational lyrics to the awkward dancing to the fascinating adlibs, we couldn’t help but love this song for all the right reasons. It might have started out like a joke, but in it’s own odd way it’s amazingly catchy, every line is damn quotable and phrases like ‘fun fun fun fun’, ‘we’re so excited’, ‘it’s friday’ and ‘partyin” will never be the same again. Considering the odd nature of the song we had trouble comparing it to all more serious attempts, but in the end somewhere in between the ‘great’ and ‘amazing’ songs seemed about right. |
 | And this is where we get to the ‘amazing’ songs. Considering how much we’ve been raving about Nicola this might feel like a surprisingly low spot for her, but despite being written by the almighty Dragonette, this is probably our least favourite of her three singles. Which doesn’t say much really, considering how much we love the other two. The singing seemed to get a marmite response, but we absolutely love the ‘muah muah muah’s’ and ‘spoiled kid’ ‘Ooh!’. Plus who wouldn’t want their phone to go ‘woah woah woah woah’? |
Number 35-31 are coming up soon!
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!

Moving on to our final 40 favourite songs of 2011, with a very diverse, and probably quite surprising bunch of songs today!
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: |
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.
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: 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!
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!

Popsessed Album Chart: 08-01-2011
Time for our second ever album chart, which means our first proper chart update!
No major changes this week.. We hardly listened to Little Mix, which allowed other acts to move up a few spots, we realized we still enjoy the Aqua album quite a lot, and Parade’s debut kept growing on us. There’s two modest new entries at the bottom of our list, being two dance pop albums by the Austrian Fawni and the Swedish Eric Saade. Their entries meant the end for the chart runs of David Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat and Zoë Badwi’s Zoë.
The Popsessed Album Chart is based on a combination on which albums we play and enjoy most. A fresh Popsessed Song Chart should be up soon as well.
