Two quick bits of business before the hot futuristic sounds of our next number one.
- I’ve put a bunch of links up now under “Popular Comments Crew” on the sidebar. I don’t know what kind of traffic this will drive (if any!) but they’ll be linked from every Popular entry so if you’re a regular or semi-regular and have a blog to promote let me know and I’ll add you too.

The UK's 1000+ Number One Hits since 1952, reviewed, in order, irregularly, for as long as I can bear to keep doing it. A history of pop in the shape of a chart.
If you enjoy Popular please link to it or tell your friends about it. The more people we have commenting and sharing their views on these songs, the better.
