After 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.
