Episode 1’s Music Showdown closed this morning to 90210’s music selection for episode 1 KILLING Gossip Girl’s music choices for both shows’ first episodes of this season.

I know, I know, but the poll is comparing this season’s episodic music choices. We’re looking at these at a week-to-week basis. So, yes, the winner of Episode 1’s Music Showdown is 90210, who took a whooping 69% of the votes!

Last season, I held a Gossip Girl vs Chuck Music Showdown, but doesn’t Gossip Girl vs 90210 make much more sense? Yeah, I thought so too. Gossip Girl and 90210 both premiered on Monday (9.01) and Tuesday (9.02) respectively. Here’s the music that I managed to track down from both shows.

Gossip Girl
So far Gossip Girl’s music doesn’t really reflect on its soundtrack at all.
Gossip Girl – Summer, Kind of Wonderful 9.01.08
Shwayze – Buzzin’
Motion City Soundtrack – Fell In Love Without You (Acoustic)
Lady GaGa – Paparazzi
The Windupdeads – Reverse Of Shade
Jem – Crazy
Teyana Taylor – Google Me

90210
In my humble opinion, 90210 fuckin’ creams Gossip Girl — music-wise, GG is still mah show bitches.
90210 – We’re Not In Kansas Anymore 9.02.08
The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name
Adele – Chasing Pavements
MGMT – Time To Pretend
Coldplay – Viva La Vida
Tilly And The Wall – Beat Control
