Record of the Year Revisited: 2007

Original Record of the Year: LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum

October 2007 was the first month of the 21st century at least where I didn't like a single new entry in the Top 40. In the year up to that point there were just 29 new entries that I liked but looking at the list I question whether I even like that many.

My pick only just scraped into the Top 40 and comes from LCD Soundsystem who fit the pretty well known but not much of a chart presence category with this being their 2nd and final Top 40 hit.

Had this record charted 1 place lower then March would have been the first month of the 21st century where I didn't like any of the new entries.

Does it retain its crown?

Absolutely. This would be a strong contender in other years and happens to be the out and out winner in a very poor year for Top 40 music.
