When I pick my most poptastic single of each year, I try to go for something that I know I’ll never regret when I look back on my choices in future years. Since this song was hated by many people, including those I usually agree with, I was unsure whether it was a safe choice, but in the end decided that was all the more reason to choose it. I’ve spent the last five months defending this song and I still love it as much as I did on first listen, so I’m going to stick with my decision and make a stand for this misunderstood pop masterpiece!
The No.1 Most Poptastic Single of 2011
CHER LLOYD – SWAGGER JAGGER!!!!
That’s Avril Lavigne’s skull on the floor
Released: 31st July
Writers: Cher Lloyd, Autumn Rowe, Jermaine Jackson, Andrew Harr, Petr Brdicko, Andre Davidson, Sean Davidson, Marcus Lomax, Clarence Coffee Jr.

Best bits: 1. Hiiii haters, kiss kiss, I’ll see you later

Bye haters!
Yes. Yes. Yes. Absolutely love this song. Definitely one of the best of the year. Excellent choice 😉
Thanks, glad you agree!
I thought it would be “Popular”. 🙁
I loved Eric's performances of Popular and it is a pretty good song, but I don't love it as much as his previous hits so it didn't make my top 25.
