As an apology for being away for so long and because nostalgia is always fun in pop music, I have decided to share with you all NSOTP's Best Albums of 2007. As 2007 was the beginning of a golden era in pop music, it only stands to reason that some of the best albums of the decade came out that year. I'll also try to put an update on what the artist is up to now so we can see the continuation of their legacy. So sit back, relax, think of yourself as a young 7th grader with a lot of issues (wait, that was just me) and listen these classic collections of pop.
It's a bittersweet moment when a really good band decides to go on hiatus. It's sad because they will most likely not get back together even if it's just "temporary." Girls Aloud proved this phenomenon to be true, even though they had a short-lived reunion (it's still a sore topic for me). However, it also signals the start of a different act's career as they move forward with their former success. Such is the fate of Danish all-star band Alphabeat, responsible for the peppy "Fascination" as well as this ridicumazing remix of Lady Gaga's "Telephone". Calling a hiatus earlier this year, their lead female singer Stine Bramsen wasted no time in taking over the Danish charts by releasing her first solo single "Prototypical" which reached number 2 there.
Following her lead, Anders SG and Anders B of Alphabeat (too bad for the other Anders) decided to venture on their own to create their new group THANKS. Along with this announcement, the group released their first song and video for "Comeback Girl." And THANK god, it's fucking amazing. A super bonkers pop song that actually sounds like the music is having a seizure, Comeback Girl is easily the most exciting thing Alphabeat has made in recent years. It would actually sound just as good in a disco as it would sound in a hoedown. This country-Motown esque banger and its fun exercisey video is extremely impressive, even if the boys missed out on the opportunity to call themselves The Anders.
