Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

These magazines - who have all published their favourite albums of 2008 already - have also published EOY songs lists in the past. Anyone who knows if they have published 2008 EOY songs lists already?

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

The Uncut end of year list comes in a little booklet that accompanies the magazine, it has several other lists such as reissues of the year, movies of the year and so on, but no songs list.

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

BLENDER did the top 144 songs of 2008. I don't have time to type them all right now, but here is the top 25:

25. "Sex On Fire" - Kings Of Leon
24. "Takin' Off This Pain" - Ashton Shepherd
23. "Shake It" - Metro Station
22. "Migrate" - Mariah Carey
21. "Love Lockdown" - Kanye West
20. "All Summer Long" - Kid Rock
19. "Jockin' Jay-Z" - Jay-Z
18. "Can't Believe It" - T-Pain and Lil Wayne
17. "Electric Feel" - MGMT
16. "Lollipop" - Lil Wayne
15. "Bleeding Love" - Leona Lewis
14. "Whatever You Like" - T.I.
13. "Real Love" - Lucinda Williams
12. "Bruises" - Chairlift
11. "Moving Mountains" - Usher
10. "Hot N Cold" - Katy Perry
9. "So What" - Pink
8. "Little Bit" - Lykke Li
7. "Cath" - Death Cab For Cutie
6. "Swagga Like Us" - T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne
5. "Viva La Vida" - Coldplay
4. "American Boy" - Estelle
3. "Low" - Flo Rida
2. "Paper Planes" - M.I.A.
1. "A Milli" - Lil Wayne

The inclusion of "All Summer Long" tempted me to not even type this. That song blows!

Blender Does Skew...

to more mainstream choices at times, that is true- hence, the inclusion of Kid Rock, a Mariah Carey (that track should be titled "Migraine"), etc. etc. But there are other less obvious mainstream choices, too. Also, sometimes singles are cited by acts whose albums aren't all that acclaimed.

Mojo chose Duffy - Mercy as track of the year, but made no list.
Nothing in Q

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

Go Mojo! "Mercy" is the track of the year!

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

Yeah ... yeah ... yeah!

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

JR - Can you really not keep yourself from commenting on any list that includes Mariah? You need to get over whatever it is you have against her. I guess you see her as a threat to Madonna but, really, move on. I am tired of reading your comments each time she appears on a list. WE GET IT!

I was just glad to know that "Bruises" song after hearing it on commercials. I also love that "Cath" is on there!

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

The site has the whole list up now:

No, Jess...

firstly, of course Mimi isn't a threat to Madonna- that would be an absurd thought. I just genuinely don't think much of that "Migrate" song- just a lot of noise to my ears.

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

Blender's list online appears to have "So What" at 9 and 53.

Re: Any songs/singles lists from Blender, Mojo, Q, Uncut or Blitz?

JR - That isn't really what I asked. How come nearly each time Mariah appears on a list you feel the need to make some sort of snide comment?

You can say it's "absurd," but the fact that you do it means something.

Maybe...

because Mimi doesn't appear on a lot of lists, and the lists she does appear on, I just point out that it's more mainstream-leaning than others (which is why she probably appears). Dat all. :)

There are some acts who may cross over to more rock-type leaning lists (pop and urban acts)- so just showing that Carey probably doesn't have the cred to appear on those (which hurts in overall critical showing, I guess).

"take me to New York, I want to see L.A."
Am I alone in seeing the potential flaw in this travel itinery?

LOL

Which song is that line from? Sounds familiar.
