Gossip Girl Music trumps 90210’s music for 3 weeks straight.

 
I know the second season of Chuck has officially started — but I don’t think I’ll include it in the Music Showdown. So far, Chuck seems to be having some strange, twisted love affair with Huey Lewis — something I’m not really sure I approve of. Though Chuck is an excellent show; it’s witty and pretty action packed. I recommend it to everyone.

But now on to Gossip Girl! Everyone who watches knows how essential music is to Gossip Girl. This episode features six songs, structured brilliantly and fit the scenes and emotions to a tee. Again, Gossip Girl fans show their loyalty and openness to new (almost obscure) music — Lady GaGa’s “Poker Face” has on iTunes Top 100 for over a week now. They Music Supervisors also through in some exquisite faux-Frenchie tunes by Nous Non Plus for their sexy Fashion Week show.  

Gossip Girl - The Serena Also Rises
Lady GaGa – Poker Face
The Republic Tigers – Made Concrete
Conor Oberst – NYC Gone Gone
Duke Spirit – This Ship Was Built To Last
Phantom Planet – Raise The Dead
Nous Non Plus – Fille Atomique **Youtube link –could not find an mp3 anywhere?! it must have somehow escaped my hard drive!**

90210’s fifth episode has a fascinating music lineup and, hopefully, won’t be overshadowed by Gossip Girls’ charms. 90210 has been consistantly diverse — though maybe a tiny bit outdated. Many will note that Gossip Girl has previously played some of the same songs (”L.E.S. Artistes, I’m Not Gonna…), but 90210’s current playlist is flawless nonetheless. 

90210 – Wide Awake and Dreaming
Greg Laswell – How The Day Sounds
Lykke Li – Little Bit
Annalee Ferry & Melissa Ritter – The One
Black Kids – I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You
Emiliana Torrini – Birds
Santogold – L.E.S. Artistes
Collective Soul – Hollywood

Personally, I’m going with 90210. Gossip Girl has been considerably popular here, but 90210 has definitely proven itself with this playlist. Now it’s your turn to vote:
