Quick! Just for fun, set down your pencil and grab your iPod (or your stereo, or whatever you use to play music). Now go to the "Most Recently Played" function, and reveal the last five songs that you listened to. If you don’t have an iPod, you’ll have to work from memory — but be honest anyway. After all, PopWatch is a nonjudgmental mistress. Here’s my (atypically) un-cheesy list, which I’m going to dub, "The Last Half of My Morning Commute." I’m just thankful that embarrassing old Tonya Mitchell track came in at No. 6. Whew!
Fantasia, "Hood Boy"*
Fergie, "Glamorous"*
Sinead O’Connor, "No Man’s Woman"
Heather Nova, "Walk This World"
Scissor Sisters (pictured), "Lights"
Now it’s your turn PopWatchers — expose yourselves! Or your musical tastes, anyway.
(*Note the sudden uptick in sass-per-minute upon exiting subway and taking it to the runway sidewalk.)
