Future pop singles and their potential hit factor: Part 2

  • May 8, 2007
  • Popjustice

futurepop.jpgAfter the last time we let famous pop psychic Millie Jackson (ie us pre­tend­ing not to be) make a few wildly ambitious and largely incorrect pre­dic­tions on the chart success of future pop records you would have thought we would not let the mad old bat at it again.

You would be wrong.


Maroon 5 — 'Makes Me Wonder'

A classic example of a mostly rubbish band making a wholly amazing record.
Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:
Number Six

Booty Luv — 'Shine'

This is a Number One record. However, there will probably be something by The View people need to buy when this is in the shops.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number Two

HelloGoodbye — 'Here (In Your Arms)'

Lots of radio play means this will sell a lot of copies. Deservedly too.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number Four


Tiga — 'You Gonna Want Me'

No one was inter­ested the other time this was released but maybe things have changed now.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number 75


Scissor Sisters — 'Kiss You Off'

Everyone has got the album now, haven't they? Well, some people have.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number 36

Bjork — 'Earth Intruders'

It has been over ten years since anyone bought a Bjork single instead of waiting for the inev­it­ably dis­ap­point­ing album. This is quite good though.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number Eight


LCD Soundsystem — 'All My Friends'

Not the most popular band in the world, for unfathom­able, possibly beard-related reasons.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number 50


Kim Sozzi — 'Break Up'

This is probably going to be in the Top Ten for months. Every time you check back, there it will be…

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number Three


Chungking — 'Love Is Here To Stay'

Could go one way or the other. It will probably go the other.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number 62


Calvin Harris — 'Girls'

Not as good as his first single but not as bad as The Twang's first single either.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number Seven


Mutya 'Real Girl'

This will do alright. 

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number Seven


Rogue Traders 'Way To Go'

She was back in Neighbours recently you know.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number 52


Rihanna 'Umbrella'

A NUMBER ONE RECORD.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number One


Groove Armada 'Out Of Control'

ANOTHER NUMBER ONE RECORD.

Millie Jackson's Popjustice Prediction:

Number One

NB: Once again the views above are not rep­res­ent­at­ive of the views of Popjustice
unless they turn out to be accurate in which case we will take credit
for having correctly predicted The Future Of Pop.
