Favorite song about a year?







RyoCaliente posted...
At least nom the original, dear lord. You SICKEN me.
the Jonas Brothers cover is better and more culturally relevant

although there are definitely problematic logistical complications with either song

  • You can nominate TWO songs for today's theme
  • Tomorrow any with multiple nominations will go into the playlist. Songs with 3+ nominations will guarantee a spot in the poll, while those with 2 will be first come first serve.
  • Feel free to suggest future topics
  • A YouTube playlist with all the poll songs will be posted in the topic. I highly recommend listening to any songs in the poll you don't already know

After some brief research, it appears that neither Busted nor A Present For Everyone even charted in the US, nor did any of their singles. In fact, their attempt to enter the US market was such a disaster that it was literally the subject of a documentary, America or Busted.
