Death Cab aren't normally my thing, but I Will Follow... is just GORGEOUS. It probably slips too far into 'Hey There Delilah' territory for most other people, but I love so it stays.
EVERYTHING about My Humps tells me I should despise it. The ridiculous lyrics, the...well, the lyrics are probably reason enough. BUT OMG IT JUST WORKS. Even if the 'my lovely lady lumps' line makes me think of Fergie as a supermodel who's just had a car accident and now has a mental age of 6.
I know of nobody who dislikes Crazy In Love, apart from people who don't like music. APOLS FOR OFFENDING PEOPLE IN ADVANCE.
MWAH. I really, really hope Holly actually returns to music (and is produced by Frankmusik mmhm) next year, because at her best she was really quite something. Still, to quote somebody, every ho and their weave are doing electropop these days, so it'll probably all go to shit anyway.
Gotta Tell You is on this list by virtue of being one of the few pop songs from 2000 that doesn't sound so horrifically dated that I want to put my ears in a blender. GOOD WORK SAM. Poor bish probably looks back on getting top fives with longing seeing as she couldn't even sell 100 tickets for a live performance last year. As ever, I blame the record labels.
