I jumped on the bandwagon and set up an account on Twitter. You can see my updates in the top right corner, or click here to become a follower of me (I feel like I’m startng a cult now!) if you have a Twitter account. I’ll probably add you back too, unless your tweets are… Continue reading Oops, oh my!

The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 4
Kid BritishThe new… Ordinary BoysThis Manchester band are not my usual cup of tea but I discovered that I rather like their song Lost In London when I heard it on the radio. They live up to their name by displaying a typically British attitude in their lyrics and interviews, but at the same time… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 4
Excellent News!
E-Type is signed to British label AATW (you can call them a ‘chav’ label all you like, they’re doing so well they won’t care) and True Believer, one of my top singles of 2007, will be released properly very soon. It’s been on Clubland TV’s playlist for ages but finally seems to be picking up… Continue reading Excellent News!
The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 3
Florence and the MachineThe new… Bat For LashesShe came third in the BBC Sound of 2009 poll, and it makes sense. Florence released a brilliant single last summer, and followed it up with another pretty good one a few months ago, but so far she hasn’t quite had the hype to get her into the… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 3
The latest US hip-hopper to go Euro-pop
It’s Flo Rida! His new single is poppier than the music most actual pop acts are making these days. It’s not bad either, better than the Akon, Ne-Yo, TI or Kanye attempts. The singer sounds like her out of Infernal! This has to be the most unexpected trend of the century, but if boring, ugly… Continue reading The latest US hip-hopper to go Euro-pop
The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 2
Daniel MerriweatherThe new… Gavin, Paolo and JamieThis 26-year-old Australian has already had two big hits, so he’ll certainly get some attention for his solo work, but he isn’t necessarily guaranteed hits. He has to make good songs first. His new solo single, Change, is not too bad but personally I was more impressed by the… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A to Z of 2009 – Part 2
Poptastic News Round-Up!
1. Pixie has posted up the latest installment of her YouTube video diary, and it’s a performance of a new song which sounds really good. It’s called Hallucination and you can listen to it here. Pixie is definitely going to be big in 2009. 2. I just discovered that the new N-Dubz single is written… Continue reading Poptastic News Round-Up!
Popping the Question: Has pop gone poo?
I am supposed to be writing an essay (8000 words to write over the holidays and so far I’ve done none. Eek!), but all of the posting on Dirrrty Pop I’ve done lately has got me thinking about the state of pop music today. Compiling my top 100, I felt that while in previous years… Continue reading Popping the Question: Has pop gone poo?
Finally!
The UK obsession with Lady GaGa, which I have been patiently awaiting for almost a year now, has begun. She shot right up the charts to no.3 this week, only selling less than Alexandra and Leona. Obviously the British public have been listening to me, since I chose the song as my top single of… Continue reading Finally!
New Pop on the Block
N-Dubz – Strong Again (Watch)It seems that N-Dubz have looked to the past for their new single, but bizarrely they only got as far as the early 00s and their time machine took them to Germany by accident. However, Strong Again is without doubt their most poptastic song yet. Well, it is actually their first… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
