Popsessed Song Chart 12-02-2012
Poor poor Katy. While she was patiently waiting for Madonna to step aside so her The One That Got Away 2.0 could climb to number one, XELLE stormed in at the last minute and took the top spot instead, with a song that, to make matters even worse, sounds like it was a little bit inspired by her very own Firework.
 | New entries: |
In other news: Invincible got us back into XELLE’s previous single Hologram as well, Like A Prayer is a better song than Give Me All Your Luvin’ (‘you read it here first!’), one of our initially least favourite Talk Talk Talk songs finally clicked, and if you throw two Gaga songs together you essentially get.. a Gaga song. Which is still quite good.
Once again some really enjoyable songs leave, which of course doesn’t mean we don’t love them, or hey wouldn’t have been here in the first place!
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: 19-02-2012
Congratulation Saturdays, it’s been very close for weeks, but after 6 weeks at number 2 you finally got that number 1 position! (Although if we’d been running these charts last year they’d probably been there before)
Rihanna’s Talk Talk Talk hasn’t stopped working it’s way up our charts either, after we decided this week that we have officially ended up preferring it to her previous album. And then there’s the new entries, that aren’t very new at all. In fact they’re both over 3 years old, but being reminded of them again they were both on very heavy rotation over the past few days. Most likely they’ll leave the chart just as quickly next week!
Well, and there goes another three fabulous albums, that are actually all still on our iPods but there’s only this much room in a top 15..
Our weekly Song Chart should be up later tonight!

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!

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 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 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!

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.

What do you think?Popsessed’s 2011 Top 100: #70-61
You get the drill by now: it’s time for another write-up of 10 of our favourite 2011 singles!
 | We suppose ‘bittersweet’ is the best way to describe this, and many of Medina’s, song(s). The One feels joyful and heartbroken at the same time. The vocals and production sound a bit cold, almost disconnected, yet it has all the emotional strength of a great ballad, making it one hell of an ‘Even though times are hard, I’ll stick with you’ anthem. Hearing it makes us feel sad and warm at the same time. |
 | 69. Black Eyed Peas - Just Can’t Get Enough We’re not quite sure where the Black Eyed Peas went wrong. Their singles have always been really strong, and The E.N.D. was one of our favourite albums of 2009. The Beginning, though not as awful as some people made it out to be, really lacked good songs and melodies, with Just Can’t Get Enough being the main exception. We could have done without the dance breakdown at the end though, because this song’s really all about Fergie’s bit, that has a similar feel to The One, making it the kind of song that suits sweet romantic moments just as well as ones of bad heartbreak. |
 | 68. Bob Sinclar ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Fuck With You We’re not sure how many more plays we need before we’re properly convinced this really happened. Sophie Ellis-Bextor getting all raunchy feels like some bad fanfic, or something she and Bob jokingly came up with over a drink (or ten), but definitely not like something that was supposed to actually get recorded, leave alone released. That being said, it is a cute catchy song, and a return to form for Mr Sinclar after his horrendous output of the past few years. |
 | 67. Selena Gomez & The Scene - Hit The Lights Who áre The Scene, why do we never see them (or do we?), and what’s their part in Selena’s recent material that sounds hardly like ‘band material’? We suppose they must be doing something right though, because this year Selena delivered her strongest album thusfar, which pretty much felt like a collection of 11 singles, just screaming to be released. Our personal choice for 3rd single would have been My Dilemma, but Hit The Lights worked just fine as well, and also ended up giving us a great music video. |
 | Le Kid are amazing. They’re our current favourite pop band (how many pop acts do write and play their own properly good pure pop music anyway?), and probably even our absolute favourite thing in pop at the moment. 2011 finally saw the release of their, flawless, debut album, and also gaves us 3 new singles of theirs, one of them being this slightly jollier sister of Destroy Everything You Touch. |
 | There’s something amazingly ’90s about Emeli Sandé’s debut single and video, and we absolutely love it for it. It’s pretty much 2011’s You’ve Got The Love, although obviously not thát great. But it’s close. We love dance/garage music with soulful vocals. |
 | 64. Alesha Dixon ft. Jay Sean - Every Little Part Of Me 2010’s The Entertainer couldn’t quite compete with The Alesha Show for us, but it díd still have a whole lot of great songs on it. Every Little Part Of Me is one of Alesha’s most generic singles, but, as her recent Jessie J tribute has shown, the girl got enough personality to turn anything into an Alesha song, and, in this case, quite a great one at that. |
 | 63. Wynter Gordon - Till Death After dozens of demos and leaks, 2011 finally gave us the first proper Wynter Gordon album. And, although with many leaks a feeling of ‘aww, why did this one not make it?’ was inevitable, it was well worth the wait. Second single Till Death (mainly the Denzal Park Radio Edit) is one amazing blast of a party anthem, though perhaps not quite our favourite ‘let’s dance until we die’ song of the year… |
  | 62/61. Melanie C - Rock Me/Think About It Both of these were nice catchy uptempo rock songs, and right up till this moment we fail to make a definite choice which one of the two is the best. Think About Me has the better chorus, Rock Me has the better verses, Think About Me míght just have the stronger melody of the two, but it’s thin production let’s it down a little.. We could go on for hours. What matters most is that Melanie came back last year with the second best album of her carreer. Overall we preferred the slower songs on it, but that doesn’t stop these two uptempos from being a lot of fun. Stay tuned for our #60-51 montage tomorrow! |
