They will be in my top ten as soon as a second album is released. My rules state at least two albums worth of material must have been released before a top ten placement is considered.

I thought about that, but I love them too much to leave them off my list. The proof was in my Itunes Most Played section. razz

Man, that Pipettes album blew past Goldfrapp's 'Supernature' as my most played tracks on iTunes also! I had to download a couple of b-sides and alternate versions and make a separate sorta EP to keep up with my Pipettes demand.

They are in my top 8 on myspace. No such placement rules there. smile

I was fortunate enough to see them live three times this month (gotta love NY). They are supposed to do a proper U.S. tour later this year when the album is released domestically.
