2011 In Pop: MAY

[katstevens]

What happened in May, then? Well, at one point Lady Gaga had four tracks in the top 40 (but then so did Adele), Blue solidly outperformed Jedward chart-wise and several boring songs by awful dudes were at number one.

Confession

I haven't listened to any of the Gaga album yet apart from Judas and Born This Way.

19 appearance is due to Manchester United fans celebrating them winning the league for the 19th time - obv totally compatible with the original message of the song.

I'm gettin' stupid cake in the stupid club, stay out stupid late, be gettin' stupid love

The word "new" even more questionable than usual (at least three of these I listened to 'cause they were on credoimprobus's April list):
Bobby Brackins ft. Dev "A1"

Big Freedia "Almost Famous"

Rainbow "To Me"

Kelly Rowland ft. Lil Wayne "Motivation"
Lemonade Mouth Cast "Determinate"
Phaeleh ft. Soundmouse "Afterglow"
Dev "In The Dark (Proper Villains Remix)"
Nero ft. Alano "Guilt"
Nicholas Jaar "Keep Me There"
Kim Kardashian "Jam (Turn It Up)"
Yasmin "Finish Line"
Roach Gigz ft. Lil 4Tay "Wild Child"
Rittz "High Five"
Rittz ft. Yelawolf & Big K.R.I.T. "Fulla Shit"
Blady "찌릿찌릿"
Metronomy "The Look"
4minute "Mirror Mirror"

Not So New
Dev "Monsta"
Seo Taiji & Boys "1996, When They Conquer The World"

Think Dev is exploring the question, "Is it possible to be Ke$ha and Cassie simultaneously?"

A1 goes on my revised half-year list. Wise to go with the "letter plus number" chorus again as I'm reminded of my fondness for G6.

Why didn't you tick Saxobeat?
